NDSU article
Thanks for your interest in working on the North Dakota State University article. However, much of what you added was taken directly from external websites and pasted into the Wikipedia article. This is a practice that should be avoided. In general, all text you add to Wikipedia articles should be in your own words. Much of what you added to the article was good and valid, but it needed to be reworded so it was not a word-for-word copy of what you found on the external NDSU pages. I just finished working on the article and reworded/edited everything to the point where it should all be ok now. Just remember to avoid copying material in the future. Again, welcome to Wikipedia. --Matth e w UND (talk) 04:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, don't worry about it. Lots of what you added to the article was good stuff. It just had to be reworded/trimmed a bit. Hope to see you around Wikipedia! --Matth e w UND (talk) 00:40, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:NDSU Logo.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:NDSU Logo.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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. fuzzy510 01:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

NDSU template
Of course! Go right ahead...I'll be interested to see it when it's completed. --Matthew UND (talk) 05:14, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * BTW, if you need any help with the template's syntax, I'll be happy to help out. Heck, if you want me to I would even go ahead and make the template for you. Talk about good relations, huh? Somebody called MatthewUND making an NDSU template? --Matthew UND (talk) 07:08, 2 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I actually went ahead and made the template for you: North Dakota State University. I'm just finishing adding it to NDSU articles. Feel free to change it in any way you wish. I'm also not too sure about the exact color shades we should be using. --Matthew UND (talk) 04:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Hope I didn't take your fun away from you! ;) --Matthew UND (talk) 04:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

proposed deletion
The Yellow and The Green needs references to show notability. see that page for instructions on how to improve the article. DGG (talk) 04:59, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
No, I certainly didn't take offense — I understand why you asked that question. I also appreciate the fact that you gave me the chance to talk about my desire to remain neutral when editing articles. --Matthew UND (talk) 07:49, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I would be inclined to keep the article. I suggest you bring this up at WP:AFD. --Matthew UND (talk) 23:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

I like your new signature! --Matthew UND (talk) 05:43, 4 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, I just noticed that your new signature doesn't link to your user page or your user talk page. --Matthew UND (talk) 09:28, 8 October 2007 (UTC)


 * It looks like your signature should work so I'm not sure what's wrong. Be sure to select the "Raw signature" box on the preferences page. If it helps at all, the code for my signature is Matthew UND (talk) --Matthew UND (talk) 07:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I think SineBot automatically signs your comments if the date of your comment is missing. --Matthew UND (talk) 03:10, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

North Dakota vandalism
It looks like there have been several IP addresses vandalizing the North Dakota article lately. It does seem that vandalism to that article has picked up. If that continues, we could possibly look into semi-protecting the page which would mean that editors with IP addresses (no user account) would not be able to make edits. I'll keep a watch. --Matthew UND (talk) 06:12, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
