Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below; but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Please do not protect the page. Matthew Cenance 16:02, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Current Status
There is no need to unblock this user. 74.240.186.220 (talk) 19:31, 30 October 2015 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 04:50, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Unblocking this user
Your best option is to edit an existing article. The goal is to see you are able to make well-researched, substantial improvements. However, you are free to attempt this with a new article. Note that you'll want to familiarise yourself with WP:NOTE, WP:COPYVIO and WP:COI before doing so. I'd hate for you to do this work, only for an admin to say you haven't demonstrated sufficient notability, or you've copied content from another source, or some such. --Yamla (talk) 18:25, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Okay. I will try to edit the Great Big War Game page.

You don't seem to have followed the instructions, which means it's really hard to review your additions (and also, means you committed a copyright violation). That aside, it appears your addition to the article is the entirely uncited Gameplay section, along with a cited addition about the 2013 award. On the other hand, this does clearly demonstrate your general good-faith and honestly, is one of the better 2nd-chances I've reviewed. Find me a couple of citations that show your gameplay description is generally accurate and I'd be inclined to lift the block. I suggest one showing that the Fog of War is a new feature, and one that generally mentions some of the other elements of the game. It's reasonable to use a single citation, so long as that's not to the publisher's website. Note that I'm signing off soon, so someone else may review your unblock request. To them, I say that I believe this user has adhered to the spirit of the 2nd-chance, and you should look upon their request favourably if they do the one extra task I've set. --Yamla (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

Welcome back
As I said in the unblock request, welcome back! You are welcome to remove any or all content, including the warnings, from this page if you wish. You are no longer blocked which means you aren't obligated to keep the information about that block on this page any more. --Yamla (talk) 12:15, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Neopets: Codestone Quest moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Neopets: Codestone Quest, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Disambiguation link notification for June 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Game Boy Color, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cannon Fodder ([//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Game_Boy_Color check to confirm] | [//dispenser.info.tm/~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Game_Boy_Color?client=notify fix with Dab solver]). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:10, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Neopets: Codestone Quest


Hello, MatthewCenance. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Neopets: Codestone Quest".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the, , or  code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! CptViraj (📧) 17:17, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Image tagging for File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 01:31, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. M asem (t) 20:28, 9 April 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DualSense for Wikipedia.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:38, 11 April 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Genshin Impact. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. Panda619 (talk) 12:10, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Please explain how adding "Gacha game" to game genres is considered vandalism when the game page describes it as having Gacha game mechanics. Matthew Cenance (talk) 22:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi. I partially reverted your additions to Clash of Clans because you used DualShockers, a source considered unreliable. See WP:RSP and WP:VG/RS for lists of sources considered reliable and unreliable. SK2242 (talk) 16:13, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
 * I believe I found reliable sources for the new additions. I have restored my changes but replaced the sources with ones that can be found on the lists presented above, and added additional sources for the four spin-off games, including one from the Clash Royale page. Are the sources I used okay for the page? Matthew Cenance (talk) 18:37, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
