Welcome!
Hello, MitchellMatchbox, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions, especially your edits to University of Canterbury. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to complete the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit the Teahouse to ask questions or seek help. Need some ideas about what kind of things need doing? Try the Task Center. Please note that Wikipedia uses sentence case for headings as per MOS:HEAD.

Minor edits
The vast majority of your edits that are marked as “minor” are not minor edits. Please read Help:Minor edits and until you do, do not mark anything as minor.  Schwede 66  19:12, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Sockpuppet investigation
Stuartyeates (talk) 23:40, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

Hi Stuartyeates, I'm quite frankly shocked to see you open a sockpuppet investigation on me. I have no affiliation whatsoever to any of those accounts as I have stated before. I feel as though this a just an attack on my account for having a different opinion when editing the University of Canterbury page. MitchellMatchbox (talk) 00:28, 25 July 2021 (UTC)


 * User:MitchellMatchbox If the sockpuppet investigation finds there are no issues, then I'll have egg on my face, won't I? I'm happy to unfollow the article for 24 months if no sockpuppets are found, but there's a history of misbehaviour on the article. Stuartyeates (talk) 01:30, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

Edit Summary
Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.

I noticed your recent edit to Michael Cullen (politician) does not have an edit summary.&#32;Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.

Edit summary content is visible in:


 * User contributions
 * Recent changes
 * Watchlists
 * Revision diffs
 * IRC channels
 * Related changes
 * New pages list
 * Article editing history

Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. With a Wikipedia account you can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting. Thanks! Nauseous Man (talk) 03:26, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks will do. Just didn't know what to write as it was a small edit. MitchellMatchbox (talk) 03:34, 20 August 2021 (UTC)


 * No worries! Just makes it easier to spot vandalism, because often when people make edits in bad faith they don't put an edit summary. Nauseous Man (talk) 21:40, 20 August 2021 (UTC)

Sentence case
Kia ora MitchellMatchbox, Wikipedia uses sentence case for headings as per WP:SECTIONHEAD. Could you please go back to University of Waikato and drop caps in those headings as needed?  Schwede 66  06:38, 29 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Can do! MitchellMatchbox (talk) 07:01, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Cullen328 (talk) 00:15, 24 April 2022 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

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).
