York Uni History
Oh so I see you have the fever eh? :) Yeah I went through a stage of doing 4-5 hours work researching a day adding stuff into wikipedia. I'd give you a hand, but I have a dissertation due next term. I really can't cock this one up :). If you can wait until week 6 or 7 next term I'll be up for a dig around, but I can't promise much more I'm afraid.

Have fun. Don't get too bogged down though :) -- Tomhab 11:31, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Hello Matthew.
Very kind of you to remember me! Congratulations on your elevation to the inner circle of the SU! Keep up the good work here too.. Vanky 23:45, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No confidence
I've never been actively involved in the YUSU politics but... no confidence against the last 5 presidents? Don't you mean it was threatened against them all, but only put to a vote a couple of times (actually all I can remember is Ffion and maybe Chris Jones - although they do all merge into one I have to admit). -- Tomhab 16:48, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah sure no probs. Btw, if you disagree with any of my changes, just revert the bits you don't like back and request the debate goes to the talk page where it can be talked over. - Just making sure you realise what I do doesn't have to be set in concrete. Same for vice versa obviously. Point is I (and most others too) won't be offended. -- Tomhab 17:05, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Reverting
Thanks for your reply, but the image page was being displayed directly, so there was no redirect link to click on to get back to the master from which the hist link could be accessed. I suppose that you have to construct the URL for the hist page directly. Noisy | Talk 18:13, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

Whodunit
Yes, it's "bye" in German. Not sure why it took so long for him to be blocked, but never mind. Xezbeth 14:38, Apr 23, 2005 (UTC)

Hello Matthew
Hello Matthew Platts. "Tschus" or variant spellings "Tschüs" or "Tschüß" means "bye" in German colloquial speech. You perhaps have a good idea now of where I come from. Regarding my agenda, there is none, except that I like to put in some of my speeches along with a VfD. So far, so good. Steer clear of me, Matthew. Till next time, Whowasthat 16:07, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talking Heads
Matthew, per your request, I've added synopses for the remaining segments of Talking Heads, and added some information about their staging and broadcast over here in the United States. DavidHoag

Troi
Great that you are looking Ian Andrew Troi's name. I did have a quick internet search yesterday, but no where seemed to have anything....it all seemed based solely on cannon. As for the Moroccan Mint...nope, I ain't tried that before...might have to when I go back up to York in Sptember. Evil Eye 07:28, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Lib Dems
The Liberal Democrat frontbench team is not a Shadow Cabinet for that party do not currently form HM Loyal Opposition. That they are called such on Parliament's website does not make it true as that website is not infallible! However it is far too late for such shenanigans. TTFN.

Thank you elucidating
I probably should have noted the 1955 publishing date. lots of issues | leave me a message 12:24, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Ha, while starting my search I discovered an article had already been written A Million Random Digits With 100,000 Normal Deviates. lots of issues | leave me a message 12:36, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

Answer about Av
As I said in my talk, I just originated the article by that name, splitting apart a two-topic article of some sort IIRC and putting it and the disambs where I thought they belonged. You can find the history of the article at "Ab." Here is a link to the history of Ab. Notthe9 15:13, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

Please check your facts BEFORE adding potentially bogus information to articles. Jooler 23:37, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK meeting
Hi Matthew, there will probably be a meeting for the purpose of discussing Wikimedia UK this Sunday, which you might like to attend. You could add your name there if so. Cormaggio @ 23:51, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

Ashley Nicholls (should be Andrew though)
Why was Ashley Nicholls named so if he's a MALE? Isn't the male form for Ashley, Andrew?

Bamboozle
On the Bamboozle page you implied that it doesn't exist any more. It does, it's on page 140! I sorted this though.

One other thing was that you said that Bamboozle was aimed at teenagers. Is it? Where was the source of this information?

Hello
Hi Matthew. Just thought that I'd drop in and say hello - I was the YUSU Environment Officer 1999-2001 and ran against Ffion Evans for President in the 2001 SU elections. I also rescued the infamous "York Folklore" from distruction - see the link on my user page. Parmesan 21:47, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Request for Information.
Hello,

There was a recent "AWB" action taken on the Dissimulation page; I looked at the diff file, but I couldn't tell what difference it made.

Just curious, Folajimi 13:47, 10 May 2006 (UTC)


 * No need to apologize; I was just curious because there was no discernable difference based on the alteration. FWIW, it happens quite a lot; this time prompted me to look into the matter a wee bit more. Cheers. Folajimi 18:34, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: my adminship
Hello. Thank you for the comment you left on my talk page. Much appreciated. If you ever need any help, give me a yell. The JPS  talk to me  22:01, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Mmm, I'm curious. Just thinking where I could have met you... Best not be too specific -- Newcastle? The JPS   talk to me  12:59, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * My goodness. We seem to have replied at the same time. Newcastle, yes. Or at least somewhere nearby. Now I'm confused. Either you don't know who I am or you're playing a subtle and interesting game. I seem to have been led into Dire Straits. Matthew Platts 13:01, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

The ShoW
I have removed the prod tag from The ShoW, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. Please don't put the prod template back, as Proposed deletion is only for uncontroversial deletions. I have nominated the article for deletion instead; the debate may be found at Articles for deletion/The ShoW. Thanks! You can see my reasons there. Mango juice talk 04:00, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Girlfriend
Matthew Platts has provided no evidence that his girlfriend is real.

Well, I'm not in the mood to. But since we require citations, I have removed the user box Matthew Platts 22:08, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
