Hi there
Hi welcome to Wikipedia, I can see you have an interest in Pennsylvania highways and you're a member of WP:PASH. I could use some help with Pennsylvania Route 145 and its a Feature Article candidate and I'm not a good writer and I need someone to check the history, or it might fail the FAC. Respond at my talk page if you're interested, thank you. --  JA 10  T · C 23:33, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

User:Mr. Matte
Placing a redirect works, but there could be quite some confusion if someone else registered with that name. To avoid problems, I recommend you register that account too, so no one else can register it. It wouldn't be a massive problem, but it'd certainly cause some annoying confusion if it happened. - Mgm|(talk) 09:27, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

NJ County routes
I've uploaded all the shields for Hunterdon and Mercer Counties. If you get a chance and could add them to the lists you created, that'd be great. If not, I'll get around to it this weekend probably. Thanks for all your hard work!! -- NORTH talk 06:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

USRD Inactivity check and news report
Hello, Mr. Matté. We had a few urgent matters to communicate to you:
 * 1) Please update your information at WikiProject U.S. Roads/Participants, our new centralized participant list. Those who have not done so by October 20th will be removed.
 * 2) There are important discussions taking place at WT:USRD relating to whether WP:USRD, WP:HWY, or the state projects should hold the "power" in the roads projects.

Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 20:37, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Web browser
Hi. I noticed at Village pump (technical)/Archive 136 that you had some problems with viewing PNG and SVG images. While disabling some of the JavaScript will work, you will get better results by upgrading your browser. I recommend Firefox, which is a relatively small free download. Firefox will load web pages faster than Internet Explorer and does not have the problems with images that you ran into earlier. It will take about half an hour to download if you are using dial-up. Firefox will import all of your Favorites from Internet Explorer, allowing you to make the switch easily.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. —Remember the dot (talk) 20:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * All this time, I thought downloading that would take me days; but it only took me a half hour like you said. Thanks for letting me know and I'm already enjoying the features of it!

Mr. Matté 21:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)


 * You're welcome! I'm glad to help, and I'll be here to answer any questions you may have about Firefox. —Remember the dot (talk) 22:10, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Turnpike Exit Userbox
Hey I stumbled upon your page and noticed the Turnkpike Exit Userbox. I was wondering if you can point me in the direction of where you found that? I thought that was really cool.

(I'm exit 15W by the way)

 * I created it myself, using WP:UBX as a guide. For the record, you don't necessarily have to have the Turnpike; for example, you can put in the second slot I-280 and "I-280" will show up.

 * It's not a mirror as such; it's a dodgy internet drug retailer embedding WP content for SEO reasons. I de-tagged and de-listed. CIreland 22:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)


 * All right, then; thanks for that!
