[edit] Oakland Cemetery FAR
I am doing the grunt work of notifying article creators/principal writers of articles up for FAR. Your sig was different on the FAR page than on the article, hence my message that it was up for review. If I may ask, why did you nominate it, rather than just fixing the problems? You obviously know a lot about the article and subject, given that you created it. Just curious. Jeffpw 18:18, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Internet map 1024.jpg
You have probably been told this already, but I just want to comment on how amazing the above image is. I stared at it for ages... I absolutely love it. It is really informative, and it looks so good. I set it as my wallpaper. Definately deserves the featured image status it got, well done. Just interested to know, how long did it take you to make?

Groundhog Day Matt!! You are an excellent contributor on the reference desk. [Mαc Δαvιs] X (How's my driving?) ❖ 23:44, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What I was going to post on Talk:Something Awful
I was going to post this, but you removed your comment before I finished typing it up. Ignore it if you like.
-
- I'd go on, but I think I've made my point. These sources are reliable in terms of Internet sources- they may be unacademic, but they're definitely edited and reviewed. We shouldn't allow original research and shakey primary sources in lieu of actual sourcing just because "it's the internet". The reason I asked you to be civil is because you're being very aggressive and confrontational. Believe it or not, I have actually read what you posted, and just because I'm going by policies and guidelines doesn't mean I'm using then as a "bludgeoning stick".
-
- The primary concern about the sourcing in this context is not about the history of the website - the important stuff is sourcable - it's the fact that having a criticism section that consists entirely of blogspot links and forums is not appropriate. They have absolutely no editorial or reviewing process, and most of all, they have zero credibility. --Wafulz 02:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POTD
Hi Matt,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Internet map 1024.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on March 31, 2007. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2007-03-31. howcheng {chat} 06:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Oakland Cemetery rating
- Wasn't sure if you were watching my page, so I'm responding on yours. Hope that's okey-dokey. :)
- I'm going thru and rating the WP:NRHP-related articles, as it was starting to get backlogged. As far as this one, I'd say:
- Very good amount of information
- Nice pics to highlight points
- It was a former featured article
- Dang, and the map in the infobox, I didn't even notice; that's well cool! I normally under-rate articles (I'd rather err on the side of caution when I'm not sure) but that map would have definitely helped put it over anyway. My understanding is that an individual can't rate an article higher than a B. Above that has to go through a review process. So I rated it the highest that I could. I'd love to see it get back to FA status again. If there's some way I can help, unlikely though that may be, I'd love to. Since I live in North Central Florida, we're practically neighbours, cosmically speaking. I'm trying to get pics of all the NRHP sites in the state, but I've been tempted to pop across the border to get a few Georgia ones.
- That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it! :) --Ebyabe 00:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and I'm watching your page, so you can respond back here. Or on my page, whichever works for ya. :) --Ebyabe 00:14, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks
Thanks for your corrections on Overclocking. I am not familiar with the subject and only relying on the books. Your coaching is welcome! --BorgQueen 22:03, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] May I ask a favor of you?
I noticed you are a regular editor of the semiconductor Wikipedia page. I created the extrinsic semiconductor page for a technical communication class and would greatly appreciate your feedback on it. I need to make another revision for my final grade and would like some pointers from an experienced Wikipedia editor. I appreciate any comments but if you don't have time to check it out that is ok, too.
Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adeut85 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Hi
I ask if you could take a look at Organizational structure of Jehovah's Witnesses and see if it needs some language and grammar check. I would also ask if you could check out the article Jehovah's Witnesses and blood transfusions. I believe there is reason to highly question that article's neutrality. Summer Song 13:11, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Removing links added from other users without contact.
The links added by myself are legitimate and are not marketing. I represent a review site that conducts tests and posts analysis of products. We dont sell a thing. I would appreciate you checking with the user posting a link before arbitrarily removing a link. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by JasonTWL (talk • contribs) 19:33, 26 March 2007 (UTC).

Some good editing in the "Belief and Practices" section of the main JW page. Glad to see you back on the page! Dtbrown 16:35, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Edits by User:Mstare88
User:Mstare88 is a new editor who is learning what is and is not acceptable editing at Wikipedia. He has come a long way since his earliest edits but still has quite a ways to go. His last two edits were to Hell and Jehovah's Witnesses, both of which you reverted based primarily on content. I am not qualified to comment on whether his edits were factually correct or not. I defer to your knowledge of the subject.
However, I would ask that you be kind to this user and explain on User talk:Mstare88 why his edits were unacceptable. It appears that he has a strong anti-JW POV and so he may be a little difficult to work with, especially if you are a JW. Nonetheless, he shows some potential for becoming a valued contributor to Wikipedia (see my Talk Page to see the discussions that we have had).
Thanks and happy editing!

[edit] why were my edits erased?
I thought that my edits were good. They were not from an anti point of veiw. they were true facts with truth. i got from from the book Kingdom of the Cults. please explain further to me why they were erased. thank you have a nice day.Mstare88 01:21, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- I answered this when you asked it on Talk:Jehovah's Witnesses. -- mattb
@ 2007-03-31T01:24Z - I wonder if Mstare88 also believed that his first edit: "This religon is false. and it is not in any part apartof Christianity. Do not follow this religon" was "good"; "not from an anti point of view"; and "facts of truth". It certainly wasn't a good start for credibility.--Jeffro77 08:17, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
