Hi, Matty. If you see my user page, I kind of, like, copied you. I know, I just want to ask, can I have the permission to copy you? It's not exactly, I do not have a Joke Machine (which I'm going to make one, but it is a pun machine instead) and I do not have an adoption homepage. So? I will create a credits subpage, so don't worry. If you answered me, please {{t1|ping}} me or leave me a {{t1|talkback}} template. Cheers!

His Last Vow
Why do you almost instantly revert my fact that Sherlock never shoots anyone in the head point blank in the novels? Why can't someone add something that says that goes against canon? I don't know what "not a reliable source" means, the source is CONAN DOYLE's BOOKS, I was just giving an article as reference. You also could just delete the web reference instead of undoing all my changes, there are critic reviews in the writing section where they don't belong. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 15:46, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- The reviews in the writing section are more relevant there. Saying that 'in the books Holmes never killed anyone-except in his most famous moment with Moriarty and a guy who didn't count in self defence' sounds like fan trivia, given that he did kill people in the original, and one on purpose then that point seems fairly null. A reliable source is one which comes from an established source, not the first Google result which comes from a bloke on Tumblr. Lastly, we revert then discuss before simply edit warring, which isn't a good policy. I think the fact that in the books Magnussen survived can be added. Moving the chunk from the writing section isn't helpful, it talks about Moffat's writing style, making it more relevant in that section (and you simply moved it to an unrelated part of reviews). Thanks, Matty.007 15:57, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Oh, and just to warn you of the three revert rule, three reversions on the same page in 24 hours will likely result in a block, just a heads up in case you weren't aware. Thanks, Matty.007 15:58, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Not trying to edit war, I'm sure you can spin edits around me, I just think it's a pretty big difference from the source material but you aren't allowing anything mentioning it. Who specifically (which story) did he kill in the original that you're thinking of? Because if Sherlock was shooting at someone trying to kill him, that's different than executing an unarmed man. And I still say the reviews from specific people belong in the review section, many reviews talk about the writers. Also "Milverton" didn't survive, he was murdered. Thanks. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:05, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure what you mean by spin edits, I have no problem with leaving the article how it is until we resolve discussion. Ugh, sorry about saying he survived, I meant was killed by someone else. I'm not "not allowing anything menttioning it", but Sherlock kills people in both the original and this, he executed Moriarty not long before this episode. In the books, Sign of Four had him killing someone, he killed passively and actively, when Watson got shot I seem to remember he shot someone... Moriarty in the TV series was unarmed, he was shot-executed. I know you say the comments go in the review section, but why? Thanks, Matty.007 16:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
I meant to say you can edit circles around me, I'm slow and don't know all the edit language. It's been a long time since I read Sign of Four, but it seems like he just shot at Tonga because he was an assassin. Anyway, I removed that part of my edits since I don't know how to not make it sound like an opinion. It just seems to cross the line of what Sherlock was, a detective, not a murderer -- like if Batman just walked up and shot Joker in the head. Moriarty shot himself in the head in the show, and started the fight to the death in the book. The other point isn't hugely important, I've just never seen review excerpts in any part of an article but the Critical Reaction, whether they talk about the writer and director or not. Thanks for discussing, I'll stop editing now. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:37, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry if I've put you off, I hope you stick around editing. Do you mind if I tailor your edits a little please? Thanks, Matty.007 16:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
No problem. 71.226.135.22 (talk) 16:51, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks, always best to work these things out with talking. Please correct any errors I induce, I will leave the reviews in the section you put them in and let someone external move it if they want to. Best, Matty.007 16:53, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Civility is always appreciated. By the way, the NorwoodBuilder site I quoted seemed to be an expert on all things Sherlock Holmes, not just a random tumblr post, but I'll check my resource procedures. Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.135.22 (talk) 17:00, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- He may be an expert, but he is anonymous (named, it would seem, after The Adventure of the Norwood Builder) and we cannot take him as a reliable source unless he has been used as such I don't think. That's my understanding of policy, but I may be wrong. Thanks again, Matty.007 17:36, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
FWIW
Hi Matty, Congrats on the Millie Knight GA! FWIW, I think that when we make edits like this following a GA-pass, it confuses the bot that goes in and adds the icon to the article and such, I think it might also upgrade the wikiproject tagging. I might be wrong about this, but this time I manually added the icon to the article, but normally I haven't needed to. Not sure what's up with that, but just a FWIW for future note. Montanabw(talk) 17:24, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Odd that, here I had to add them as opposed to the bot doing them, but it did do the icon. Strange forces... Thanks again for the review, Matty.007 17:32, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Silly bots! Can't live with 'em, can't live without 'em. LOL! Montanabw(talk) 18:28, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Any particular reason you chose to pick on my article?
Is there any particular reason why you suddenly decide to tag bomb my article and slap a BS WP:OR allegation on it, you've never even bothered to discuss any concerns with me or identify what is WP:OR you just slapped a load of tags on it just after it had been promoted for DYK. There was a lot of work went into writing that from scratch and I see you actions as absuing process for no good reason. WCMemail 16:39, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- The fact that there was no clear source for the sections I tagged? Thanks, Matty.007 16:41, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- Nonsense, every paragraph has a source identified, its a DYK criteria. WCMemail 16:43, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
- I know it is DYK criteria, which is why I brought it up. For example, the last paragraph:

Complaint
Another nazi editor that wont allow freedom of speech.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs)
- As I said on your talk page, this is massively insulting, especially today on the 70 anniversary of Operation Overlord. I suggest you take a more civil approach next time. The reason I reverted was that there was no reference given, and it did not seem notable: websites are created all the time. Thanks, Matty.007 17:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Civil? If you had been civil, you would not have had any negative feedback. I may not be the best at "editing" this site, but I was entirely within the rights of the site to disclose the fund raising website, and opposing opinion, but you simply deleted it without being one bit civil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs) 20:48, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- Giving negative feedback is uncivil? I would consider it a learning experience. Anyhow, you should have seen that I re-added it, though still unconvinced of its notability. There was nothing uncivil in my reply, but calling someone a "nazi" is frankly unnacceptable and disgraceful. Matty.007 10:51, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Actually, I emailed the family, and they added it, although in another way then I originally posted it. She also told me that she had problems with people like you. And I can not see how it could even be argued that when a guy is wrongly accused and in prison for it, that his fund raising website for his defense is irrelevant at all. comment added by Mrdeleted (talk • contribs) — Preceding undated comment added 16:58, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
- Not sure what that has to do with it. If you read my comment you saw that I re-added the website. I'm not sure what you mean by "people like you", and "wrongfully accused" sounds like you're taking sides in the trial rather than a neutral point of view. Anyhow, nothing excuses calling someone a Nazi. (If you want SineBot to leave you alone, sign with four tildes, ~~~~.) Thanks, Matty.007 17:02, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

Adoption Program
Hey Matty.007, I was wondering whether I could go into your adoption program? Are there any requirements for me to be able to enter into it? Thanks,Schoolskater (talk) 16:22, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- Hi Schoolskater, there aren't any requirements, I can't see any problem with you entering it. Is there any problem for you with an assignment/lesson ~1 a week or a little longer? Thanks, Matty.007 16:26, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
Oh there's no problem, I haven't even look at any of the lessons yet. I was just wondering how I could get into to it. But that's all clear now. Thanks! Schoolskater (talk) 16:28, 7 June 2014 (UTC) Well now I've got a question. Where are the lessons and what are the assignments? Schoolskater (talk) 16:30, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- So you definitely want to do it? I'll set it up now. Thanks, Matty.007 16:31, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- Schoolskater: take a look at User:Matty.007/Adoption-Schoolskater. Thanks, Matty.007 16:41, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
So what do I do now, I answered the questions. Thanks, Schoolskater (talk) 16:48, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
- I left you a note there. I have watchlisted the page, have you? Thanks, Matty.007 16:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
Sure I'd like to learn how to make my userpage more advanced. I left a reply to your question. Thanks, Schoolskater (talk) 18:59, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

DYK suggestions
Hi Matty, I've no real interest in DYK any longer, but I've created a few articles you may wish to use, if you find them suitable:
- The Boat Race 1978 – "... that Cambridge sank in the 1978 University Boat Race?"
- The Boat Race 1980 – "... that Oxford won the 1980 University Boat Race despite one of their rowers collapsing before the finish?"
- The Boat Race 1983 – "... that Cambridge threatened to boycott the 1983 University Boat Race after Boris Rankov was included in the Oxford crew for the sixth time?"
- The Boat Race 1984 – "... that the 1984 University Boat Race was postponed by a day after Cambridge hit a barge and sank during the warm-up?"
- The Boat Race 1985 – "... that Cambridge had a female cox for the first time in their history in the 1985 University Boat Race?"
The suggested blurbs are just that, suggested. Feel free to do your own thing! The Rambling Man (talk) 16:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- They all look great, all at GAN I take it? Nominating now, will link them when done. Thanks, Matty.007 16:45, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- OK, so here are the links:
- Template:Did you know nominations/The Boat Race 1978
- The Boat Race 1980 seems ineligible I'm afraid
- Template:Did you know nominations/The Boat Race 1983
- Template:Did you know nominations/The Boat Race 1984
- Template:Did you know nominations/The Boat Race 1985: honestly, two of the most interesting things in the same year!
Thanks for the links, and hope you return to DYK soon. All the best, Matty.007 17:04, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, all will go through GAN eventually so hopefully that 1980 item will be eligible again soon. I have nine (I think) at GAN so we'll see how it goes, and I'll let you know as and when they're good for DYK. Cheers. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Good luck with those. Any short ones that you want me to review (bearing in mind I have only done 2 GA reviews before)? And can't you be persuaded back to DYK (though it's a brave man who ventures onto the talk page at the minute)? Thanks again, Matty.007 18:01, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. Well all of my noms are at GAN, and you're more than welcome to review any of them. No favours required, just be as harsh as I would be. As for DYK, I'll leave it for a bit until I'm sure that the quality issues have been resolved. I don't have a massive problem submitting my new articles or new GAs to the process, I'm just not interested in the politics and the QPQ and the scary lack of quality reviews that seems to be prevalent there.
