Counter Vandalism Unit?
Hey, I dedicate most of my time on Wikipedia to reverting vandalism (you got there just before me on reverting San Francisco 49ers) and noticed that you were part of a 'Counter Vandalism Unit'. Could you tell me more about this please? Thanks. -Bottlecapninja 20:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Vandal
If he does it again, mention this case in your report. It'll show a longer pattern of only vandalism. The only reason I didn't do an indef time was he only showed two edits, so I did 48 hours. I'll be gone 24-28 June on vacation.Rlevse 22:09, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia Rent-A-Cop
Hey Mattie, I just saw your discussion with the Wikipedia admins about you putting the PROD notice back on my user page after I removed it to contest it. I'm glad they talked some sense into you.
It's okay, I forgive you for vandalizing my page, hunnybear.
XOXOXO
Do you ever give up? After a 48hr ban I'd expect you would but obviously not MattieTK 11:02, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Striking your vote
Hello MattieTK,
Thank you for your interest in the Wikimedia Board Election. The Election Committee regretfully informs you that your previous vote was received in error and will be struck according to the election rules, described below.
The Election Committee regretfully announces today that we will have to remove approximately 220 votes submitted. These votes were cast by people not entitled to vote. The election rules state that users must have at least 400 edits by June 1 to be eligible to vote.
The voter lists we sent to Software in the Public Interest (our third party election partner) initially were wrong, and one of your account was eventually included to our initial list. There was a bug in the edit counting program and the sent list contained every account with 201 or more edits, instead of 400 or more edits. So large numbers of people were qualified according to the software who shouldn't be. The bug has been fixed and an amended list was sent to SPI already.
Our first (and wrong) list contains 80,458 accounts as qualified. The proper number of qualified voters in the SPI list is now 52,750. As of the morning of July 4 (UTC), there are 2,773 unique voters and 220 people, including you, have voted who are not qualified based upon this identified error.
In accordance with voting regulations the Election Committee will strike those approximately 220 votes due to lack of voting eligibility. The list of struck votes is available at https://wikimedia.spi-inc.org/index.php/List_of_struck_votes.
We are aware of the possibility that some of the people affected may have other accounts with more than 400 edits, and hence may still be eligible to vote. We encourage you to consider voting again from another account, if you have one. If you have no other account eligible to vote, we hope you reach the criteria in the next Election, and expect to see your participation to the future Elections.
Your comments, questions or messages to the Committee would be appreciated, you can make them at m:Talk:Board elections/2007/en. Other language versions are available at m:Translation requests/Eleccom mail, 07-05.
Again, we would like to deeply apologize for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Kizu Naoko

Reverting vandals as you warn?
I just reverted Paplr's edit to Sage and looked up the talk page to warn this user, only to realize that you had warned this user about the same edit 20 minutes ago. Could you please make sure that you actually revert the edit that you warn about? Thanks, and have a nice day, Lisatwo 21:25, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- My apologies Lisatwo, I swear thought I saw the article already reverted, which is why I placed the warning (thinking the user was not informed). I will double check next time. MattieTK 21:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Hodgepodge
I just wanted to know how the tool was working for you. Any suggestions or complaints? Thanks. Wikidudeman (talk) 16:26, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- It's a very useful compilation, the only way I personally can think of improving it in it's current state is to add a configuration page where users can alter global settings. Don't know if this is possible or not :) It truly is a great piece of kit though, thanks MattieTK 16:46, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
What sort of things would you alter? Wikidudeman (talk) 16:48, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- I would like at time to disable some of the mods that are included, or change the function of some buttons, i understand the button at the top right disables it entirely, but at times I'd just like to remove a section so another mod can be used instead. This would improve the usability of the compilation as users are not forced to use all the included mods. I understand this is kinda counter-intuitive, hope you understand the issue :D MattieTK 17:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Newcastle University
Hi, that was really interesting work; however, I wasn't able to create the new page before creating the link. Subsequently amended and in progress. Thanks anyway. A3276988 13:55, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:OPPFav.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:OPPFav.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:52, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
tehpaine.blogspot.com
If you have credible source which will tell you that teh paine is real and not fake/hoax/just some guy from the internet then new text is ok. Else i will change it back, because i didn't find any credible source which would have backed him up. --Zache 22:04, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
- I know him, OiNK has confirmed this as an official source in the OiNK IRC channel irc.p2p-network.net #oink. I'm an operator on this channel. MattieTK 14:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
Vandalism on the Bleach Page
I noticed you tried to revert the vandalism under the history section in Bleach, but as I see it the current version still has a string of nonsense letters there. I'm fairly new to Wikipedia and don't really know how they handle reverts here, so could you please take a look at the page and deal with it, and report the vandal if applicable. Thanks. --Pdeq (talk) 00:42, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for correcting my spelling. I don't know how I cold have misspelled, but I am happy that there are people like you to catch others when it happens. I have question about the article: it seems like a lot of it is basically a direct copy of the text here[1]. Did I do that out-of-site link correctly? If I didn't, sorry. -76.188.26.92 (talk) 22:51, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
- Almost got the link nailed, it would be [http://www.glosa.org/en/ here], no '|' just a space. Thanks for notifying me of this, I've placed a copyright violation notice on the page in question - as you know Wikipedia is a 100% free source, and as such cannot have simple copy-paste articles without permission. MattieTK 23:10, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

- Darn! So close :). Thanks. I'll see if I can rewrite it. -76.188.26.92 (talk) 04:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
-
- If you wish to rewrite it please look at the copyright violation banner and do so where it asks - go as far as copying your current changes over, then leave a note on the talk page that you have done so. The article should not be modified until an administrator has taken a look at it and decided upon action. Thanks. MattieTK 11:24, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Admin coach
Sure. You have less than 1000 edits. You mainly need time and experience. Uses with less than 200-2500 edits rarely make admin. So plug away at various parts of wiki, many areas. The CVU is good but branch out. Always try to be calm, rational, and fair in your responses. You can try things like reporting vandals at AIV, socks at SSP, watching and participating in AN and ANI, voting on AfD, CfD, etc. Always use edit summries. I have a watch on your page now and have added you to my coachee list. — Rlevse • Talk • 22:35, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I used to use VP but gave it up---too buggy. Try Twinkle. I hear it's a lot better. — Rlevse • Talk • 23:06, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Prerogative Speedy declined restored good version
Hi, I've rolled this back to a good version. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 15:08, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. Should have checked the history, my mistake. Will make sure it doesn't happen again. MattieTK 15:23, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
