 * I guess you're talking about B Roads Talk Page? Your edit removed the content Stavros1 added. I agree that the copy+paste might not have been needed, but you also removed his comment about your(?) editing of the article, which in my opinion should stay.

 * I removed a rant which the user posted in three different places and belonged in none. 217.36.107.9 (talk) 10:13, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's up to anyone except the person who put the comment there to change/remove it, regardless as to where else it's been posted. His comments have been reverted back by another user.  Matt  (  Talk  )   01:23, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Matt T - I'm new to wikipedia.

Are you the person who just removed my wiki entry on Forum SA? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Forum SA (talk • contribs) 07:19, 12 September 2008 (UTC) Hi Matt. T - I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the talkback feature. Can you please email the work that I did ( a carbon copy of myspace that hasn't been deleted? ) as well as a link to what I did wrong so that I can fix it to comply with wikipedia's rules to: Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Forum SA (talk • contribs) 07:24, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey and welcome to Wikipedia! Talkback is a little confusing - it's basic goal is to keep a discussion on one page. You only need to add to my page if you've left me a reply on your page, otherwise don't worry about it. About your article - I tagged it with a speedy deletion tag, but I didn't delete it (I don't have the admin permissions to do so). The admin User:RHaworth deleted it under G11 which basically means it looked like the point of the article was solely to promote a website/group. Even with a rewrite to make it not solely an advertisement it still could be deleted because the website isn't important enough to be in an encyclopedia. I left a couple of links on your talk page about businesses/companies/groups on Wikipedia and spamming. To contest the deletion or get a copy of the page back you can contact that admin at his talk page. It's not wise to add your email address to articles on Wikipedia - I've removed it from this page. Spam bots look around the web for email addresses to add to their mailing lists. Also, please sign your name on talk pages using ~ . Thanks and good luck with your article,   Matt  (  Talk  )   07:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Matt and thank you for the time to explain to me what happened. There are external links that I was in the process of adding when you flagged the article but I guess it's irrelevent now. While waiting for a reply, I took the time to read up on the wikipedia rules and I believe I understand better now where I went wrong that you had to flag what I was writing and can fix it to comply with wikipedia's rules. Thanks again Forum SA (talk) 07:52, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. You might also want to read this section of speedy deletion - your article must give a reasonable indication of why the website might be notable. Again, good luck with your article!  Matt  (  Talk  )   08:09, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

ACC
Hi Matt, When I checked request 12818, it didn't prompt me about username conflict until I try to create the account and when I tried to defer back to admin, you were one step ahead of me ;-) --Cahk (talk) 19:42, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

no context
As a reviewing admin, please be careful about using "nocontext" as a reason for speedy delete. If you can tell what the article is about, then the tag is not appropriate. In the most typical case, try using and , or use prod., or , if  the article has just been created, waiting till it has a chance to be worked on. DGG (talk) 13:07, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

BOONYARATVEJ
Dear Matt, you disputed my wiki page Boonyaratvej stating that it was copied from a dictionary, I deny this. The word Boonyaratvej is a Thai surname, and unlike western surnames they are unique and can not be used by a SMITH, BROWN, BUSH, etc. the surname was bestowed upon us by the King of Siam, i am about to write an autobiography on the origins of the surname and the ancestors - past to present.

Your request for speedy deletion
What do you guys do? Take lightening pills? Can't someone just do what I requested? Or at least show me how I can do it myself? Faithfullyclever (talk) 06:51, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You can always contest the deletion by adding directly below the template and then explain your reasoning on the articles talk page. I think you were meaning redirect? You can find more info on them here :) Regards,   Matt  (  Talk  )   06:53, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Ha Ha! There are rules for everything... I appreciate it. Who has the time though? I think you are right about the redirect thing. Now I broke another rule or was warned about being in an "editing war"... Perhaps this is how you learn... But is it worth it? Just trying to make a small correction and it is like a million bees swarming at you. Frankly, I am not to sure I like that, but then again, I suppose that is the way it must be with a "anyone can contribute" encyclopedia. Faithfullyclever (talk) 07:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Hey and welcome to Wikipedia! I think you're talking about your user page? That page hasn't been deleted (but it could be shortly), it's just been tagged for speedy deletion under WP:CSD because it seems its only purpose is to promote a website. You can object to its deletion by putting directly underneath the speedy deletion tag (but please don't replace it) and then explaining your reasoning on the article's talk page. Here's a couple of links on advertising: Spam and FAQ/Business. Also, please sign your username on talk pages such as this one with four tildes ( ~ ). Good luck with your article,   Matt  (  Talk  )   04:06, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

 * At the moment your article's in the user space as your userpage, not in the article space. You can move it into the article space with the 'move' button at the top of your screen. As well as the article not being there solely to advertise, it must also assert the notability of its subject. This page might also help you: Article_development. :)  Matt  (  Talk  )   04:24, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Hey and welcome to Wikipedia! The article didn't indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies.

Creating an article
Hello Matt,

This is in-regards to creating an article for Ish Sagar who is a known Fashion Clairvoyant based in India. I would like to add information about him and since I have few web links of Ish Sagar (which are the only references) what do you think I should do next?

Since I have designed blogs & websites for him, i would like to create a page for him too on wikipedia.

For your reference please see below (links on/about Ish Sagar)

http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&q=%22Ish+Sagar%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta=

Please revert as soon as possible!

Thanks Ojas Waman Ojas Waman (talk) 21:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Have you read this section? It explains the stages of article development. Because the article's just being developed, you could create a subpage in your userspace (something like User:Ojaswamanindia/Ish Sagar) and then when it's ready move it into the mainspace.

May you suggest how I can amend it to be posted in Wikipedia? Many thanks.

Wetpaintcreative (talk) 01:16, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Stuart and welcome to Wikipedia! If you have any relation to the company/magazine you want to create an article on it could be considered a conflict of interest. If you do have a relation to the company you're writing the article on please read and follow the instructions here, disclosing your relation to the company on your userpage is a good idea as it lets other editors know you're not trying to covertly edit the article. Here's a couple of links about writing articles on companies: FAQ/Business and Spam. I recommend you create a subpage in your user space (something like User:Wetpaintcreative/Sandbox) and work on your article there. Instructions on how to create subpages can be found here. For some guidance about writing good articles, see Writing better articles, Layout, The perfect article, Manual of Style and Article development. After working on your article in your user space you can request some feedback about it here. Good luck with your article. Also, please check out the Username Policy as your username will probably be blocked because it's related to a company. Username blocks usually say nothing about the person, and you're usually free to create another account that doesn't have a promotional name. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   01:25, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Amy Balliett
I've return the article on Amy Balliett and include some reasons on the talk page. I may well be mistaken on the notability of the article, but I don't see it as a candidate for speedy deletion.

I've undone my actions. Have a nice day. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   05:02, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Hi. Even if the pages are yours they won't be deleted unless the actual user has either requested the deletion while logged into their account or added the speedy tag. Please stop adding them to pages. Thanks,  Matt  (  Talk  )   06:07, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Matt, I'm blocked from editing. I can't add tags to the pages when I'm blocked. 75.3.139.29 (talk) 06:09, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hm. Tough situation. I understand where you are coming from but the pages won't actually be deleted unless there's proof the user account wants them deleted. Hold fire for a bit while I ask an admin.  Matt  (  Talk  )   06:14, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you. 75.3.139.29 (talk) 06:15, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Because there's no way to be sure you're the same person as the username the pages probably won't be deleted. Talk pages and talk archives usually aren't deleted anyway even if the deletion is requested by the creating user. It's possible the sandboxes might be deleted if there's nothing significant in the history. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   06:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Are you sure?
Are you sure that anonymous editors are allowed to erase warnings on their talk page? I thought they had to leave that stuff up... but then again I couldn't find that anywhere... NightFalcon90909 (talk) 14:15, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. Any user/IP can remove sections (but not just parts of a comment) from their own talk page (but archiving is preferred). The user is verifying that they read the warning if they remove it. There are 3 things that are not allowed to be removed, to prevent users from abusing the system: declined unblock requests while the block is still in effect, confirmed sockpuppet notices and shared IP header templates (for IPs). If a user continues to restore removed comments from someones talk page it's possible they'll be blocked for harassement or the 3 revert rule. It's covered here and here. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   03:44, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedy tag on afd nomination
Hi. I noticed you removed the speedy tag I placed from this afd nomination. I marked it for deletion because I withdrew the nomination, so that in case the article survived speedy and was nominated for afd again it wouldn't be marked as a 2nd afd, just to keep things tidy. Doesn't probably matter much, so I'll leave it as it is. Just thought I'd drop by an explain why I tagged it. :) Happy editing! — Twinzor Say hi! 05:07, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. It was just a bit confusing having a speedy deletion tag transcluded onto the log page for today :P. I'm pretty sure AFD noms are kept regardless of their outcome though.  Matt  (  Talk  )   05:15, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I've seen it done a couple of times with withdrawn nominations, but it probably doesn't matter either way. :) — Twinzor Say hi! 05:21, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

KHIS page
Matt:

We were just getting started with the KHIS Radio page...and you marked it for deletion.

We have just added some considerable history on how the station got started...and more info will be added soon.

Can you please explain to me how the informational page we put up for KHIS Radio is really any different from the pages put up for just about any other US radio station? I see little or no difference. In fact, just about all of them I previewed prior to starting to put the KHIS page up looked MUCH more like an advert than what we started there.

--Daveobieone (talk) 05:30, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, David Obergoenner —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveobieone (talk • contribs)
 * Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! I tagged the article you created for deletion because it seems to be advertising the radio station it's about. Because it looks like you're related to the radio station you probably have a conflict of interest with the subject of the article. Could you link me to another radio stations article and I'll (attempt to) explain why it doesn't read like an advert? Thanks for your message. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   05:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Matt: I've added some links to other radio stations in the body of the page. They have logos for the stations and other promotional info like that. Those are commercial, for-profit stations. I should also mention that KHIS is non-commercial, and non-profit. I stand by my contention that the KHIS page is informational...not promotional. I'm ready to add a page I've been working on that explains on the history of Cape Girardeau area radio. I've been working on this with professor's from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau. That section contains info about many radio stations in the area. KHIS is a part of that as well. There will be links in that section to many stations as well. --Daveobieone (talk) 06:28, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi David. I can't check the links because the article has been since been deleted. Including a radio station's logo in itself doesn't make the article promotional. If you have any more questions about the deletion feel free to ask the deleting admin (PMDrive1061) or myself. Good luck with your article. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   07:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

New Article (Royal Cliff Beach Resort)
Dear Matt,

Last time I tried to write the new article about Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Pattaya in Thailand and It was deleted from Wikipedia which was explained that the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company.

Now I have rewrited this article to become more encycopedia and I think this article will be useful for any viewer who want to know about PATTAYA, THAILAND. This hotel is the one of most popular in Thailand and is the one of the very first hotel in PATTAYA. They have recieved multi-award from all over the world in the past 35 years.

Could you please kindly review my article and advise me how to improve this article.

Royal Cliff Beach Resort

Royal Cliff Beach Resort is a luxury five star hotel situated between Jomtien and South Pattaya. The Resort occupies a 64–acre parkland overlooking the Gulf of Siam, along the East Coast of Thailand. The building of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort was inspired by the natural beauty of the bay itself. The resort is well known for its frequent renovations, high level of attention to detail and outstanding service. The hotel has won numerous awards and has recently been elevated to the TTG Travel Hall of fame.

History

From modest beginnings with the 106 room at the Royal Cliff Terrace in 1973, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has demonstrated tremendous growth in the years since. A year after opening of the first hotel, the Royal Cliff Beach Hotel came into existence. For the next twelve years, the 2 hotels established a worldwide reputation as the place to stay in Asia and so the Royal Cliff legend was born. 1986 saw the opening of the Royal Wing & Spa by His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, the resort’s premium product, where guests are treated with highly-personalised service and hospitality. In 1992 the resort completed its final hotel, The Royal Cliff Grand & Spa; this architectural masterpiece has always attracted the most sophisticated of travelers, with its large suites and breathtaking views. Trip Advisor once ranked the Royal Cliff Grand & Spa as the number one place to stay in Pattaya.

Late in 1999, a major addition was made to the resort’s already extensive range of meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition facilities. This was the multipurpose stand–alone meeting venue, The Pattaya Exhibition and Convention Hall (PEACH), with rooms to cater for over 8,000 delegates. As one of Thailand’s newest and most state–of–the–art venues, PEACH is ideal for numerous types of events; from conventions to exhibitions or product launches to gala banquets.

Not content with providing happy holiday memories for thousands of guests, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort has also been the setting for some of the most important meetings in the region, and various ASEAN conferences have been held successfully over the years. In 1991, the resort played host to the Cambodian Peace talks and in 1997, the hotel was the venue for the drafting of the new Thai constitution. The Royal Cliff Beach Resort’s reputation as a world-class venue for meetings and conventions was acknowledged once again this year, when it hosted the APEC tourism, attended by senior tourism officials from 21 member countries.

The Phra Aphai Mani Logo

The concept of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort is to provide guests with the most soothing and relaxing stay. That tradition is strictly adhered to today and it is precisely for this reason that Phra Aphai Mani was chosen as the symbol of the Royal Cliff Beach Resort. Created by the legendary poet Sunthorn Phu, Phra Aphai Mani and his magic flute is much read by students of Thai literature. As the story goes, Phra Aphai Mani plays the most extraordinarily soothing music on his flute that charms and puts to blissful sleep anyone who listens to it. It is this magic flute and its music which has served Phra Aphai Mani and his friends during dangerous encounters with monsters of the deep. Such is the strength of Phra Aphai Mani that a bronze statue of the fabled hero stands guard at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort to protect visitors. The statue is the resort’s promise of a soothing and truly unforgettable stay.

Facilities & Services

Altogether, the Royal Cliff Beach Resort now comprises four 5-star hotels with 1,090 rooms and suites, 10 restaurants, 5 bars, 5 swimming pools, 2 health spas, a Thai cooking school, a state-of-the art fitness complex, 7 floodlit tennis courts, a 4-hole putting green, 2 private beaches, a world-class convention and exhibition centre, 3 ball rooms, 54 meeting rooms and a private catamaran for charter that takes guests on bathing excursions to the nearby tropical islands.

Famous hotel guests

From H.M the king of Sweden to former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and actors Roger Moore and Britt Ekland, numerous VIP’s, entertainers and heads of state have visited the Royal Cliff Beach Resort over the last 30 years, attracted, no doubt, by the charming atmosphere and meticulous attention to detail. The resort is a particular favourite of the Thai Royal Family, who has graciously attended many of the resort’s functions and special occasions.

Other notable royal family include: HRH King Albert of Belgium, HM the king of Swaziland, HM King Norodom Sihanouk & Queen Monique of Cambodia, HRH Prince & Princess Akishino of Japan, Kannaphon (talk) 03:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Kannaphon

Shavlik logo you uploaded for me yesterday
Hi Mark-

You uploaded a graphic file for me yesterday, which was a logo for Shavlik Technologies.

Today someone has deleted the file. I guess I needed to put some kind of copyright info on its description page? I was going to go do that, but it appears the file has been totally removed. Do I need to put it on the requested upload page again?!

Thanks, Pamela

 * Hi. Even though the Flickr page says that the image is licensed under a Creative Commons license it was deleted because logos are normally copyrighted. You didn't have to edit copyright information in, it was my fault that I didn't ask for further information on the copyright status of the image. If you'd like I can upload it as fair use here on Wikipedia, or if you can get someone to email me a permission form (let me know and I'll give you it to fill out) from a company email address stating that the image is licensed under CC-BY I can upload it again on Commons. Let me know what you want to do. Sorry for what has happened. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   07:56, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Matt, couple of questions.
Hello,

I do not know how to comment directly to your comments, so I apologize for this indirect communication. This is in reference to the pictures I am trying to upload, JetBlue 292 Nose Wheel Pictures. My coworker took these, we work in a parts searching and supplying company to many of the worlds large airlines. These were pics obtained during the incident by my coworker who was on the scene almost immediately. They are not copyrighted in any way. Please let me know how to proceed. If they can not be uploaded, it is not the end of the world, I was just trying to provide some pics for more details.

Also, I saw that you had a concern regarding my username. That is the username I use for everything, and it is the name of my website, so I can see your view of the conflict of interest. I am happy to change it, there is no hidden agenda, but I did not want to do it right now or else or communications might get lost between the two names.

Have a great day,

 * Hi. To reply to a section click the [edit] link by the title and drop your reply in below everything else. Robert Skyhawk has replied to your WP:IFU request. With your username, when you're renamed, pages in your user and user talk namespaces (so your user and user talk pages) are moved to your new name and the old name redirected there, so you shouldn't have any communication problems. Is there another username you'd like to use on Wikipedia? You can submit a request for rename here. Company usernames are usually blocked on sight by an admin (but yours probably won't be because you've replied to my message), but it's probably better to make the change ASAP. If you need any help with your request/username/anything else feel free to drop me a note here. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   08:16, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I have attached the scanned copy of the trademark registration which has been filed and accepted with the government. However, as per Indian law, the registration copy takes one year to arrive.

 * Hi and sorry for not getting back to you sooner. The easiest way would probably be getting the copyright holder to upload the image to Flickr, license it under either CC-BY, CC-BY-SA or Public Domain on Flickr, then pass the link onto me. If you need any help, feel free to drop me a note here. Regards,  Matt  (  Talk  )   08:48, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Royal Cliff Beach Resort
Dear Matt,

Last time I tried to write the new article about Royal Cliff Beach Resort, Pattaya in Thailand and It was deleted from Wikipedia which was explained that the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company.

Now I have rewritten this article to become more like encyclopedia and I think this article will be useful for any viewers who want to know about PATTAYA, THAILAND. This hotel is the one of most popular in Thailand and is the one of the very first hotel in PATTAYA. They have received multi-award from all over the world in the past 35 years.

Could you please kindly review my article and advise me how to improve this article.

Triumph Tiger Trail TR7T TR65T
Hello Thanks for your kind advice. I've placed links to FLICKR for the pictures of the TR7T and TR65T Triumph Tiger Trails. The photographs are not copyright and one is an old Triumph publicity photo deliberately free from copyright so all and sundry could reproduce it ad nauseum to generate more publicity Hope this helps- anything more I can do to have these pictures illustrate the entry, please say. Have a great weekend —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.123.135.235 (talk) 09:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
