IP editor User:199.212.252.143's talk page
Hey Matt. I just wanted to let you know that per WP:REMOVED, the IP can remove all those notices if they choose to do so. I personally don't think it's right, but it is what it is. --Hammersoft (talk) 18:38, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Rollback
I have [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=rights&user=&page=User%3AMatt7899 granted] the "rollbacker" permission to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Administrators' guide/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. – Gilliam (talk) 10:09, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

President of India
You are reverting a space after the use dmy. What does that do? I can see no change and I'm curious. [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=President_of_India&diff=prev&oldid=805432196 President of India] TVGarfield (talk) 01:30, 16 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I personally thought that those edits made by an IP user, even though they added a space after the use dmy and they didn't add anything other than what I mentioned earlier, were pointless. That is why I reverted both of them. Matt7899 (talk) 08:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I didn't think it made a difference, I thought it might be some markup thing. TVGarfield (talk) 16:54, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

Xi Jinping
Hi. Why did you revert ? zzz (talk) 11:10, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * zzz, I accidentally mistook your previous edit (before I reverted it) for a vandal edit. Apologies for reverting your edit without being aware that your edit was not vandalism. Matt7899 (talk) 12:59, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
 * No worries. Thanks very much for explaining. Cheers zzz (talk) 13:10, 8 November 2017 (UTC)

Please monitor and protect the Mangalore article from Vandalism
I request you to give protection to the Mangalore article and monitor it, regarding vandalism. No Administrator is protecting this article and it could be delisted (removed) from the list of Featured Articles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_review#Mangalore 223.186.38.187 (talk) 08:53, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

Leekes
Hi Matt, as an employee of Leekes I updated this article ever so slightly to reflect the fact that not every store has the listed departments - in effect the original, now reverted article is not factual. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul.s.goode (talk • contribs) 15:02, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

Using rollback
Hi Matt7899, thanks for your work in reverting vandalism on Wikipedia. I noticed that you are using the Rollback feature for reverting some edits, e.g.,, and , which do not meet the criteria for what warrants using this feature. Please be more careful in checking what the editors have changed before reverting such edits, because the first rolled back a series of productive edits by an IP editor (which should not have been reverted), and the second reverted a good-faith edit (which should have been reverted). In the second case, it would have been more appropriate to use Twinkle, which lets you provide a summary for why you reverted the revision. See Rollback to see a list of situations where it is appropriate to use Rollback. --Joshua Issac (talk) 09:51, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

RIP Matt
I miss you. I know one day, I will see you in heaven. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.240.188.108 (talk) 05:12, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
