Transfermarkt
Hello, I'm GiantSnowman. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Troy Caesar, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. GiantSnowman 13:49, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
Fixed! Matty.007 (talk) 13:53, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

But how is it an unreliable source? Thanks

Hi Matty, Thank you for going through the article, I added links out and links in, would you consider removing the orphan and dead end tag ? Or can I remove these myself ? Thank you MaltaMonti (talk) 13:41, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks, I have now removed them. I will also look for some categories for the page.

Speedy deletion declined: Peer e baghdadi
Hello Matty.007. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Peer e baghdadi, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 10:11, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for the review at Ninetology Stealth II! Bendley8888 (talk) 09:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
That's OK. Always nice to get a reply!
Matty.007 09:42, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for your help. I'm working on the translation of the article Leonor de Castro Mello y Meneses. Please, a little bit of patience. It's a tranlation of my article on the Spanish Wikipedia. It's not a copy from a Spanish webpage. Many thanks for your help!. --Valencian (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
That's fine. I will remove the tag, and try and help. If you need any help, just say.
Matty.007 12:55, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've insert two references about Leonor de Castro Mello y Meneses. If it's in off, the label of inline citations can be removed. I've try to improve and correct the syntax, but if you want to change it, so that way it seems better and more natural, that will be perfect. Many thanks for your kind help!. --Valencian (talk) 13:54, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
The article still needs references for the rest of the claims, as I cannot see them on either of the links. Is it in the PDF file?
Thanks, Matty.007 14:01, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, there are more references to Leonor de Castro in the pdf file, in the page number 69 for example. I've include also this reference (3) in the article. Thanks! --Valencian (talk) 14:19, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Well done, tag is now gone!
Matty.007 14:24, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
I didn't know, thanks for your help!. I didn't know that was possible to know the statistics of a Wikipedia article. Many thanks for the information!. --Valencian (talk) 14:47, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Title edit
Anthonyy1926 (talk) 15:01, 31 May 2013 (UTC)I was wondering if you can edit the title on an article i made instead of it being called Antun i wanted it to remname the title to Antun (name) so it would be more easy for people to find could you do that for me http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Antun

Speedy deletion nomination of List of Wikipedia Articles which use Transfermarkt
Hello Matty.007,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of Wikipedia Articles which use Transfermarkt for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Barney the barney barney (talk) 19:35, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Altered speedy deletion rationale: 3eekouttour
Hello Matty.007. I am just letting you know that I deleted 3eekouttour, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided, which doesn't fit the page in question. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 20:34, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Why?
Hi Matty.007 you requested that my article Scott McSweeney to be deleted? I would like to know why you did this? The page has caused no offense in any way to you or anyone you may know. Why have you nominated my article for deletion?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sms-aka-me (talk • contribs) 23:41, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
- Hi SMS,
I requested Scott McSweeney for speedy deletion as it seems to promote an individual, and that the article has given no indication of remarkability. Please sign your posts with four tildes, that is, four of these ~. Also, your account seems to have written the account as an autobiography.
Thanks, Matty.007 06:49, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
Hi Matty
But what harm is it doing to you? I wrote it as my first article, I have a huge interest in writing. I do not understand why YOU, are requesting my article to be deleted. There are thousands, upon thousands of articles written in autobiography style, take for example all movie stars, sports stars etc. Why are these pages not being marked for speedy deletion by yourself? I would greatly appricate it if you can remove the deletion tag from my article, as I would like to continue writing more articles, but it is very discouraging when users marking my articles for deletion moments after they are posted. Please remove the tag. Thank you, SMS Sms-aka-me (talk) 11:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)SMSSms-aka-me (talk) 11:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry to be a pain, but also, when I try and log on this (http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=wikipedia-en-help) with my username, Matty.007, it says it is an erroneous nickname.

"review"
It's not 'review', it's patrol. The point is to check pages for obvious flaws. I check a page, it seems fine, I click the 'patrolled' link to take it off the list of pages that haven't been checked yet. I check a page, it has some obvious flaw, I either fix it or delete it. This applies to all the namespaces, not just mainspace where the articles are -- and yes, sometimes there are userpages, etc, that VERY MUCH need to be deleted (often, that's accompanied by the account being blocked). I've been doing this for quite a while; it's only since the 'Echo' system was implemented that people began to receive notifications that I've MARKED THEIR USERPAGE AS PATROLLED REVIEWED OH NO HE WAS LOOKING AT MY PAGE WHY WAS HE DOING THAT. All it means is "he looked at the page and decided there was nothing obviously wrong with it". If you, or anyone with this question, would take a moment to read my talkpage where I've answered this question more than once, we could save a great deal of time. DS (talk) 14:36, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
Apologies, DS. I was only asking as it was a User article and it seemed to have stumped those at the teahouse for a while. Apologies, I should have looked.

Adoption
Hey, Matty. Are you still open to adopting a user? I'm relativly new here, so it could be cool to have someone who can help me and stuff. I haven't created any articles yet, just some userpages and edited existing pages...OscarLake (talk) 22:15, 2 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi OscarLake,
- I am currently adopter to Dansong22, as you probably already know. However, I could try and give you some 'lessons' relatively regularly if you wanted.
- Actually, forget that. I will!
Years in Scotland
Hi there. Glad that you are keen to help develop the Years in Scotland pages. However, can I suggest that you may wish to adopt the normal style for these pages? At the moment I am starting the pages with the bare minimum of info just to get the pages started in the hope that others may then help to add info. Any help you can give would be appreciated Regards Fishiehelper2 (talk) 18:02, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Fishiehelper,
- Is there a definitive template, or do you just mean something along the lines of what you did here?
- Thanks, Matty.007 18:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi and thanks for getting back to me. My understanding is that most articles that come in categories have a layout style, such as country article, football club article etc. When I started writing Years in Scotland articles I just lifted the 'style' from the 'Years in the United Kingdom' articles. It appears that the basic parts are incumbents, events, births, deaths, see also and references. All articles must cite at least one reference or they will be tagged. As I say, I've started creating the pages with just the bare minimum necessary and I'll start to fill in detail later - much later - once I've got all the Years started. Regards Fishiehelper2 (talk) 18:26, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- So to answer, I am copying from one year to the next to add the basic duilding blocks then I add in some detail for that year so this is the one I would use for all years down to 1801. Regards Fishiehelper2 (talk) 18:28, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

If you want this page deleted, just put {{db-u1}} on it. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 18:59, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- Actually Javascript pages are the one place where the {{db-u1}} template doesn't work - the software doesn't display the contents of templates on Javascript pages and the page doesn't show up in the list of pages tagged for speedy deletion. Your best bet if you want to get a page like this deleted would be to post at the administrators' noticeboard. (I've deleted this one for you.) Hut 8.5 19:36, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Lady Anadal School
could you pls undo the changes you made to a page i edited (Lady andal school) i used to go there and i only wrote the truth. thanks and leave me a message to know more info!
This is the correct place for discussion, so I moved it from my guestbook. Matty.007 17:29, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, Megamind321,
- I reverted your edits as Wikipedia is a place for encyclopedic information, and saying "They have unqualified teachers and an approach to teaching where understanding is not important. Their physical education instructors have known to be abusive in several cases. Teachers do not believe in a practical way of teaching and do not encourage self growth; and instead put down their students. Lady Andal school has a very hostile atmosphere and bullying takes place on a daily basis from both teachers and peers alike. 0 stars... not recommended" implies that Wikipedia has some affiliation with the school. So, if this is true, please find some sources to prove it.
Years
Strange, I saw Emirjp was doing the same thing earlier. Is this an alternative account? I think its a good idea but I'm concerned with starting pages just for the sake of it if they're practically empty. I think we'd be better off having decade articles first until they can be expanded and then fill out into years when ready. 1950s in Algeria etc would be advisable.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 20:43, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Dr Blofeld, I am not an alternative accoutn to Emirjp, whom I have not come across, instead, I was merely trying to increse Wikipedia's articles on years in countries. I have created created several Scottish history articles, and am trying to increase Wikipedia's range of articles.
Grimhelm
Ah that seems ambitious, I'm sure were Grimhelm still actively editing he would appreciate your initiative. Feel free to update the article in any way you see fit, and let me know if you need anything. Cheers, Andonic.

Copy edit feedback
Hi Matty.007. I found a few more things to do on each article. Battle of Lund:
- The article seems to be using US spelling and dates. In British usage, directions get dashes, but in US usage, they do not. So "south-east" becomes "southeast"
- Link only on first occurrence (once in the lead and once in the body)
- Directions such as north and south do not get capital letters
- I switched all times to military times, since the article is about a battle
- Six uses of the word "however" is too many in an article this size
- You can review this Diff of Battle of Lund for additional changes I made.
Battle of Tolbiac:
- Phrases such as "it is said" and "we are told" should be removed. Either we trust the sources, or we don't.
- More commas were added
- Link on first occurrence
- You can review this Diff of Battle of Tolbiac for additional changes I made.
Hopefully you find these comments useful to further your copy editing skills! Best, -- User:Diannaa (talk) 02:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- But apart from that, were they good for first attempts?
