Thanks, I guess (Lol), after looking through other places I see that this isn't the type of page that should be added here. iMatti (talk) 08:34, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

March 2013
Hello, I'm Tolly4bolly. I wanted to let you know that I undid one of your recent contributions, such as the one you made with this edit to List of Shameless (U.S. TV series) episodes, because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, T4B (talk) 15:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)


 * T4B, thanks for letting me know but I think it was necessary. Do you realize your reverted all my edits, the one's on every single episode? If you have something specific, by all means, edit it or have a discussion on the Talk page. To revert 2,799 characters is way too much. I'm positive at least one of those edits would be needed. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 17:16, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

WikiProject C-SPAN?
Greetings fellow Wikipedia editor -

I am leaving you this note because I have reason to believe that you are interested in C-SPAN. (I may have made this assumption based on your C-SPAN user box, or perhaps for some other reason.) If this is not an interest of yours, please feel free to read no further and delete this message.

If you are in fact someone who is interested in C-SPAN, then let me put forward an idea that I have been kicking around for a while. What if we started a C-SPAN WikiProject?

The parameters of this (potential) project are up for discussion, but it could include some or all of the following (as well as things that may occur to you that have not occurred to me):


 * Creation, maintenance, and improvement of articles and lists directly related to C-SPAN and its programming.
 * Use of C-SPAN programming in citations for various topics
 * Inclusion of unique and targeted C-SPAN video links for various articles. (Doing this with respect for established guidelines at External links.) (Example: If you are interested in the submarine USS Wyoming (SSBN-742), then having easy access to the eight hours of programming taped while a C-SPAN crew were guests on that submarine could also be of interest to you.)
 * Inclusion of (and possible further creation of) templated links such as, that will easily take article readers to a link of all C-SPAN Video Library links for the person about whom the article is about.
 * What else?

I don't know exactly how far we may want to go, nor in what directions, but I do believe (as I have long noted on my user page) that C-SPAN and Wikipedia are both...

"...fantastic vehicles for the free exchange of ideas and information in a non-sound-bite manner, and they both invite the participation of any parties (expert or amateur) who are interested in taking the time to absorb and/or contribute to the ideas and information offered. C-SPAN and Wikipedia go together like peanut butter and jelly, and I want to help give other Wiki users easy access to the great work that C-SPAN has done on a variety of topics."

Now, I should mention that I have never started a WikiProject before, and I do not know the best way to go about it. (Perhaps one of you do?) Let me offer one of my sandbox pages, User:KConWiki/sandbox/Wikiproject C-SPAN?, as a gathering area for comments until such time as we gather enough steam to start our own WikiProject page.

Thanks for reading this far, and I hope that you will give some consideration as to whether this is something we ought to attempt. Please feel free to pass this message on to others you know whom might be interested, and please let me know your thoughts and comments.

The Four Tildes
Okheric, I have a small question I'm just wondering: Why do you put " ~ " in the Edit summary of of the edits you make? Thanks. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 22:21, 15 April 2013 (UTC) -- ''(I pasted my original post that was on you Talk page here so the conversation wouldn't be split in two different areas.)


 * You posted a question on my page about using four tildas in the Edit summary box. Typically your summarize your changes and then use the four tildas to sign your post Okheric (talk) 22:29, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I wondered if that's what you were doing so I looked over the guidelines. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, as I'm presuming you are too. You only sign your Talk Page comments with four tildes. You don't do that on an Article Page or an Edit Summary description on anything. See here for information on when to use it. It specifically says not to use the four tildes in the Edit Summary field. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 22:47, 15 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification. I will rectify my behavior. Okheric (talk) 20:28, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

RuPaul's Drag Race S5
Hey there,

I notice that you are one of the user on wiki that participate in the improvement of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5 page, and because of that, I think your opinion is important! There is a discussion right here with regards to a possible change in the color scheme and abbreviations of the participant table. It is not proposed by me, but before doing any changes, I think that having the opinion of many people is important! So take a look and speak your mind! ; ) ─  F a b z z z  talk  21:36, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

Alaska
This picture says Obama won no Counties/Boroughs in Alaska, but another user also says he did. Do you have any sources? -- occono (talk) 19:52, 8 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking an interest in this. I originally posted about this at United States presidential election in Alaska, 2008. I just responded with two sources at United States presidential election, 2008. ─ Matthewi (Talk) • 23:52, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
