Why did you remove my update on KC Armstrong becoming overweight, it was referened on the show and is clearly a highly relevant fact given that KC's persona is intimately linked with being fit and handsome?

Why do you keep removing the howardsternshow.org link?

Template:welcomespam
Howdy and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you edited the Template:welcomespam message. I think you were trying to get the template to add a signature automatically, unfortunately, all it did was add your own signature. I have reverted the change you made. I think it is possible to get templates to automatically add a signature, however it is not commonly done (the only one I know of is ). Let me know if I mis-interperted your intention, or if I can help with anything. --TeaDrinker 22:36, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for finding and fixing my mistake on Template:welcomespam! I was actually trying to use the template, but accidently edited it by mistake :)   --Bill.matthews 00:37, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, glad to have you around! --TeaDrinker 01:49, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Ron Bennington
Why do you continue to remove interesting trivia from the page for XM radio personality Ron Bennington? Is it really up to you to police what is actually trivia? And why isn't it? I can understand the vulgarities in some of it, but not others.

You exist?
The reason I asked is because one of my edits was attributed to you by some random glitch, or maybe you just made an edit immediately after me.

O&A Link Spam
--Bill.matthews 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC) I'm not the first one to revert a link to WowFans. I was just doing what I thought was called for as many other Wikipedia editors have done.--XMBRIAN 19:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.  --Bill.matthews 20:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Applied media technologies corp article
All the information on the AMTC page is readily available from their website - how much more sourced do you need it to be?


 * Just take a look at Citing_sources. If the content is on the website it should be easy to do, but you generally want to cite sources not from the website itself.  See Reliable_sources.  Also, when you add content to a talk page, you should generally sign your comment.  Thanks...  --Bill.matthews 19:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I also fail to see where the content is non-neutral. It's no more slanted than articles for major companies like SIRIUS Satellite Radio or Ford. If there's some particular content that offends, let me know and I will try to reword it rather than have the "This article is a big fat liar" badge that you slapped on top of it.


 * Please don't take that as an attack. The article will be improved, and the encylopedia will be better off!  --Bill.matthews 20:11, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Then let's improve it. Given that in 15 years no one has made an article about AMTC, I dread to think how long your scarlet letter will remain on the page before some other WikiActivist changes it. Don't just say, "it's wrong", tell me what's wrong, and let's fix it. As you can tell by my contribution history, I'm new at this. So give me a hand, rather than a hammer. Additionally, your blocking my ability to see your changes doesn't help matters much.

Image:BGionta.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:BGionta.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Khatru2 04:51, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Earl Douglas Trivia
Hi, I wanted to indicate I restored the deleted trivia from the Earl Douglas page. While I realize it needs to be integrated into the page and cleaned up, I don't think deleting content randomly is the appropriate way to do it. But I will continue to work on the page to improve whats there and clean it up in order to meet Wikipedia standards.69.140.51.137 05:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Moved from user page
I don't understand, I am posting factual information?

I am not sure how to sign my posts. I've contributed to wiki for a while but this is the first time I have been confronted for adding facts to a wiki. I don't want to start an edit war. However, months back I went to Tucker's wiki and there was a brief mention of the Opie/Anthony visit. It disappeared a week ago and I felt that it was a cover up and that it needed to be mentioned as it is FACT. I feel like I am being bullied when I am not vandalizing his page. And, now you are against me and what I post, even when its totally video-backed fact.

Thank you for your hospitality. I am a reasonable person but I feel that what is on there now is slightly insufficient. I would be totally satisfied if you mentioned the fact that Opie/Anthony requested evidence for 2 of Max's stories and that Max could not produce: 1. The video tape from the "Tucker tries buttsex" story, and, 2. any police report from the "Absinthe Donuts" story backing it up. Furthermore, this was a public broadcast from someone who is a public figure. And, I feel these are important facts that must be presented to accurately portray him on wiki.

Yes, I did block that IP for a week. I must have either forgot to announce it on the talk page, or it didn't save for some reason. Academic Challenger 22:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Ron and Fez page
Earl Douglas resigned as executive producer on 7/17. I updated the Ron and Fez info box yet you reverted it to the outdated version showing Earl Douglas as the executive producer and star which he is not. I resubmitted the changes, kindly dont restore out of date information. Thanks Eatabullet 17:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Please provide a source. Message boards and comments on air can't be used.  He was on the show today.  Let's give this a little time and see what happens.  --Bill.matthews 20:41, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Here is the link: http://ronfez.net/forums/showthread.php?t=61823 Its from Ron and Fez's official website which also happens to have a message board.


 * Mr. Douglas may be on air, but he resigned so the fact is that resignation stands until otherwise stated, and as such, he is not executive producer. If you heard it, you know this as well. Logically, you should not restore information saying he is in a position he isnt. If it shakes out differently I will be the first to revise the information, however I dont really see the point in keeping old information on the page considering that it is outdated in this changing situation.


 * If you can provide a link to show he is the show producer or didn't resign, I will accept your edit. Finally, as you have now reverted my edits twice, I will also ask that you remember the three revert rule and assume good faith in accordance with accepted Wikipedia policy. Thanks!

 * Forums aren't good sources for anything. In any case I checked the listed forum, and I see that even forum members don't agree. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 06:21, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi just curious are Bill Matthrews and Will Beback the same person? I thought I was discussing this with Bill Matthews. Can you clarify? Thanks Eatabullet 12:48, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * We're different people, last I checked. However we share an interest in the article. ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 21:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

I see that you contested the PROD on the EJHL teams. Do you know anything about the EJHL... their articles could really use some improvement. DMighton (talk) 07:39, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Tucker Max Show
Can you explain to me your rationale for removing the fact that he cancelled the show? It is factually true and I can't think of any reason to change or alter the article to give any other impression. Bluefield 12:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What is your source that HE cancelled the show? Citing his own website/comments isn't a reliable source.  --Bill.matthews 02:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)


 * What is your source that it was cancelled at all? Bluefield 02:58, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * If we can't provide reliable sources, and it's cancelled -- why include it at all? An idea that never came to a TV show it not notable. --Bill.matthews 03:09, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CCollins.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:CCollins.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ricky81682 (talk) 03:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

your warning from mcjeff
i believe that mcjeff has accused you of vandalism inappropriately. i don't believe that your edit constituted vandalism in any way, nor did it necessitate mcjeff's misuse of rollback on your edit. i recommend that you add your proposed changes first to the discussion page in the future to hopefully prevent this type of incorrect response from editors. Theserialcomma (talk) 18:15, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. I agree, mcjeff jumped the gun on the warning and rollback.  I'm reading the discussion pages now and will add my comments.  Thanks! --Bill.matthews (talk) 18:57, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
