Draft:Ben Russell And The Charmers

Hi Matty, Thank you again for your help on references, think I have done it. Can I now ask about how to load a picture and get the page activated? Meltemkocak (talk) 11:09, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Replied on your talk. Thanks, Mat ty.007 11:14, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Matty, I have tried to load a full size photo of the band but it only appears small? Could you please help. Also what do I need to do now to have the page activated? Cheers, Mel Meltemkocak (talk) 14:45, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Meltemkocak: better now? Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:44, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks Matty! Much better :) What do I need to do now to get it live? Cheers, MelMeltemkocak (talk) 10:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Meltemkocak: click the 'Submit' button if you are sure it is ready, and it will be reviewed within a few weeks. Thanks, Mat ty.007 10:50, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Meltemkocak: just to note, you should probably take a look at WP:COI (sorry I didn't notice this sooner). You really need more reliable sources to show how this meets the notablility requirements. I would suggest working on making it neutral and adding reliable sources. Thanks, Mat ty.007 10:57, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

I am not really convinced they are notable I'm afraid. A reviewer may disagree with me and accept it, but those are my thoughts. Thanks, Mat ty.007 11:09, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

His Last Vow

Why do you almost instantly revert my fact that Sherlock never shoots anyone in the head point blank in the novels? Why can't someone add something that says that goes against canon? I don't know what "not a reliable source" means, the source is CONAN DOYLE's BOOKS, I was just giving an article as reference. You also could just delete the web reference instead of undoing all my changes, there are critic reviews in the writing section where they don't belong. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

The reviews in the writing section are more relevant there. Saying that 'in the books Holmes never killed anyone-except in his most famous moment with Moriarty and a guy who didn't count in self defence' sounds like fan trivia, given that he did kill people in the original, and one on purpose then that point seems fairly null. A reliable source is one which comes from an established source, not the first Google result which comes from a bloke on Tumblr. Lastly, we revert then discuss before simply edit warring, which isn't a good policy. I think the fact that in the books Magnussen survived can be added. Moving the chunk from the writing section isn't helpful, it talks about Moffat's writing style, making it more relevant in that section (and you simply moved it to an unrelated part of reviews). Thanks, Mat ty.007 15:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Oh, and just to warn you of the three revert rule, three reversions on the same page in 24 hours will likely result in a block, just a heads up in case you weren't aware. Thanks, Mat ty.007 15:58, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Not trying to edit war, I'm sure you can spin edits around me, I just think it's a pretty big difference from the source material but you aren't allowing anything mentioning it. Who specifically (which story) did he kill in the original that you're thinking of? Because if Sherlock was shooting at someone trying to kill him, that's different than executing an unarmed man. And I still say the reviews from specific people belong in the review section, many reviews talk about the writers. Also "Milverton" didn't survive, he was murdered. Thanks. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean by spin edits, I have no problem with leaving the article how it is until we resolve discussion. Ugh, sorry about saying he survived, I meant was killed by someone else. I'm not "not allowing anything menttioning it", but Sherlock kills people in both the original and this, he executed Moriarty not long before this episode. In the books, Sign of Four had him killing someone, he killed passively and actively, when Watson got shot I seem to remember he shot someone... Moriarty in the TV series was unarmed, he was shot-executed. I know you say the comments go in the review section, but why? Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

I meant to say you can edit circles around me, I'm slow and don't know all the edit language. It's been a long time since I read Sign of Four, but it seems like he just shot at Tonga because he was an assassin. Anyway, I removed that part of my edits since I don't know how to not make it sound like an opinion. It just seems to cross the line of what Sherlock was, a detective, not a murderer -- like if Batman just walked up and shot Joker in the head. Moriarty shot himself in the head in the show, and started the fight to the death in the book. The other point isn't hugely important, I've just never seen review excerpts in any part of an article but the Critical Reaction, whether they talk about the writer and director or not. Thanks for discussing, I'll stop editing now. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry if I've put you off, I hope you stick around editing. Do you mind if I tailor your edits a little please? Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

No problem. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, always best to work these things out with talking. Please correct any errors I induce, I will leave the reviews in the section you put them in and let someone external move it if they want to. Best, Mat ty.007 16:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Civility is always appreciated. By the way, the NorwoodBuilder site I quoted seemed to be an expert on all things Sherlock Holmes, not just a random tumblr post, but I'll check my resource procedures. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.135.22 (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

He may be an expert, but he is anonymous (named, it would seem, after The Adventure of the Norwood Builder) and we cannot take him as a reliable source unless he has been used as such I don't think. That's my understanding of policy, but I may be wrong. Thanks again, Mat ty.007 17:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

FWIW

Hi Matty, Congrats on the Millie Knight GA! FWIW, I think that when we make edits like this following a GA-pass, it confuses the bot that goes in and adds the icon to the article and such, I think it might also upgrade the wikiproject tagging. I might be wrong about this, but this time I manually added the icon to the article, but normally I haven't needed to. Not sure what's up with that, but just a FWIW for future note. Montanabw ^(talk) 17:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Odd that, here I had to add them as opposed to the bot doing them, but it did do the icon. Strange forces... Thanks again for the review, Mat ty.007 17:32, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Silly bots! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. LOL! Montanabw ^(talk) 18:28, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Matty.007/Archive 14:May 2014-June 2014. Your question has been answered at the Teahouse Q&A board. Feel free to reply there!

Any particular reason you chose to pick on my article?

Is there any particular reason why you suddenly decide to tag bomb my article and slap a BS WP:OR allegation on it, you've never even bothered to discuss any concerns with me or identify what is WP:OR you just slapped a load of tags on it just after it had been promoted for DYK. There was a lot of work went into writing that from scratch and I see you actions as absuing process for no good reason. W C M_email 16:39, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

The fact that there was no clear source for the sections I tagged? Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:41, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Nonsense, every paragraph has a source identified, its a DYK criteria. W C M_email 16:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

I know it is DYK criteria, which is why I brought it up. For example, the last paragraph: He originally married Wilhelmina y Igarzábal and later married her sister, Dolores y Igarzábal.. The last paragraph of the article, no citation. Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:44, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Complaint

Another nazi editor that wont allow freedom of speech.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs)

As I said on your talk page, this is massively insulting, especially today on the 70 anniversary of Operation Overlord. I suggest you take a more civil approach next time. The reason I reverted was that there was no reference given, and it did not seem notable: websites are created all the time. Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)

Civil? If you had been civil, you would not have had any negative feedback. I may not be the best at "editing" this site, but I was entirely within the rights of the site to disclose the fund raising website, and opposing opinion, but you simply deleted it without being one bit civil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs) 20:48, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

Giving negative feedback is uncivil? I would consider it a learning experience. Anyhow, you should have seen that I re-added it, though still unconvinced of its notability. There was nothing uncivil in my reply, but calling someone a "nazi" is frankly unnacceptable and disgraceful. Mat ty.007 10:51, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Actually, I emailed the family, and they added it, although in another way then I originally posted it. She also told me that she had problems with people like you. And I can not see how it could even be argued that when a guy is wrongly accused and in prison for it, that his fund raising website for his defense is irrelevant at all. comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 16:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Not sure what that has to do with it. If you read my comment you saw that I re-added the website. I'm not sure what you mean by "people like you", and "wrongfully accused" sounds like you're taking sides in the trial rather than a neutral point of view. Anyhow, nothing excuses calling someone a Nazi. (If you want SineBot to leave you alone, sign with four tildes, ~~~~.) Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK suggestions

Hi Matty, I've no real interest in DYK any longer, but I've created a few articles you may wish to use, if you find them suitable:

The Boat Race 1978 – "... that Cambridge sank in the 1978 University Boat Race?"
The Boat Race 1980 – "... that Oxford won the 1980 University Boat Race despite one of their rowers collapsing before the finish?"
The Boat Race 1983 – "... that Cambridge threatened to boycott the 1983 University Boat Race after Boris Rankov was included in the Oxford crew for the sixth time?"
The Boat Race 1984 – "... that the 1984 University Boat Race was postponed by a day after Cambridge hit a barge and sank during the warm-up?"
The Boat Race 1985 – "... that Cambridge had a female cox for the first time in their history in the 1985 University Boat Race?"

The suggested blurbs are just that, suggested. Feel free to do your own thing! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Well all of my noms are at GAN, and you're more than welcome to review any of them. No favours required, just be as harsh as I would be. As for DYK, I'll leave it for a bit until I'm sure that the quality issues have been resolved. I don't have a massive problem submitting my new articles or new GAs to the process, I'm just not interested in the politics and the QPQ and the scary lack of quality reviews that seems to be prevalent there. Thanks anyway. The Rambling Man (talk) 18:18, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:His Last Vow/GA1

Hi- just so we're on the same page, could you PM me when you're ready for me to take another look? I can't promise I'll be super-quick, but I'll do my best! J Milburn (talk) 20:14, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, sorry for my slow replies to issues. Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:39, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Permission

Hi, Matty. If you see my user page, I kind of, like, copied you. I know, I just want to ask, can I have the permission to copy you? It's not exactly, I do not have a Joke Machine (which I'm going to make one, but it is a pun machine instead) and I do not have an adoption homepage. So? I will create a credits subpage, so don't worry. If you answered me, please {{ping}} me or leave me a {{talkback}} template. Cheers! Nahnah4 | Any thoughts? Pen 'em down here! | No Editcountitis! 09:33, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

Nahnah4: well, I can't stop you... But no, I don't mind, I like correct attribution (which you've given), so thank you, and thanks for being polite enough to bring it to my attention. Best, Mat ty.007 17:36, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

List of currencies in Asia

Hi Matty.007, thanks for the message on my talk page. I have made some changes to the list. I want to nominate the article for DYK and FL. Asia has the world's most valued currency Quwaiti dinar and also some of the world's cheapest ones. I would be very thankful to you if you help me.--Skr15081997 (talk) 08:30, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Skr15081997: I'll see what I can do. You've copied the format which I have changed, per List of currencies in North America the currencies are now first. The text needs expansion. I am quite busy at the minute, but I'll have a look when I can. Thanks, Mat ty.007 10:27, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Russian monitor Rusalka

Hello! Your submission of Russian monitor Rusalka at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! Storye book (talk) 07:20, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

No worries, Matty - it's got a grey tick - I just thought you might want to offer an ALT2 before admin promotes it with the original hook.--Storye book (talk) 07:20, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

I was too slow I'm afraid. Thanks again for the review, Mat ty.007 16:20, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

GA Review

Hi Matty. I see you are in the WikiCup and have a couple of football-related articles at GAN. I wonder if you would agree to review mine in exchange for a review on one of yours? Let me know. Thanks, C 679 16:22, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Hi Cloudz679, a tempting offer! However, please can you say which article (I can't see at GAN), I only have 3 reviews and don't want to review a page where I'll be completely out of my depth (Manchester United F.C., though not at GAN, is an example of where I would be lost). Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:40, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Tomáš Rosický. It's 14k of prose and currently has 79 references. Hopefully not unmanageable! Thanks, C 679 16:41, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Looks good and managable (just to check, I don't have to check it against each reference, just a few spot checks isn't it?). Not my team though! As long as each reference doesn't need checking it should be fine (hope you don't mind a slightly slower review...). Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:44, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Great. I will get started on one of yours. Thanks, C 679 16:49, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Cloudz679: I don't have to check it against each reference, just a few spot checks isn't it? Thanks, Mat ty.007 16:51, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

There's nothing explicit at Wikipedia:Good article nominations/Instructions about that. The WP:reviewing good articles page suggests a minimum of checking : 1) that the sources are reliable, 2) that they support the content and 3) that there is no plagiarism. Thanks, C 679 16:55, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Cloudz679: OK, thanks. The review may not be too speedy, but I'll do my utmost to conclude it before the end of the Wikicup round (28 June). Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:01, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Ok, good news. Thanks a lot, C 679 17:02, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks to you too. Which will you review, Kingstonian? Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:07, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I have opened a page, the first comments will probably not be before tomorrow as I have a busy evening ahead of me! Thanks, C 679 17:09, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Funny, precisely what I am doing. How on earth are Australia winning? Thanks, Mat ty.007 17:13, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 19

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited His Last Vow, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page The Telegraph (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Record ADM 358/47 at the National Archives, Kew

Hi Matty – I saw your post from April in WP:RX regarding ADM 358/47 at the National Archives (concerning Alex Stuart-Menteth). I need to go to Kew at some point in the near future, so I will add this doc to my list. Not sure when I can get up there; hopefully some time in the next couple of months. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 11:39, 21 June 2014 (UTC)

Hassocks5489: that would be really kind of you, I can't actually remember what it is, but if you are going and could take a look (for User:Matty.007/sandbox/Alex Stuart-Menteth) then that would be fantastic. Thank you very much, Mat ty.007 12:50, 21 June 2014 (UTC)
