SEMI-RETIRED

This user is no longer very active on Wikipedia.

This new job role is absolutely everything I wanted, and more, in terms of keeping busy. Moving back to Semi-Retired, as I expect myself to be here even less than now, after 7/25/23 (swap the date and month, if you’re not American).

For any ‘future conduct’ cases (if I ever properly come back again, I will stress that this is NOT related to the question of my ANI Closing abilities, on my Talk Page. That is peacefully resolved, as far as I’m concerned. MM (Give me info.) ^(Victories) 11:56, 12 July 2023 (UTC)

If you want to change one of my Mobile diffs, into a Desktop one, just do it. You don’t need to ask me.

Introduction[edit]

Greetings from the helpdesk of your friendly Wikipedia nutter. 8D As you may have already assessed i've taken a big liking to userboxes and WikiProjects, i'm not one to stick to the templates when it comes to dealing with Vandals but i'll still follow the good faith, bad faith, warning and last warning rules. I'm Planning to get my head around Wikinews and Wikimedia Commons as well as Wikipedia so wish me luck. I donated to the Wikimedia Foundation on 30th November and am proud to have done so. As The Chief once said. My money says they're not headed to the pub.

Have I seen you before?[edit]

Matticusmadness is my full blown username across all 25 of the Wikimedia Projects that i'm on. One of them was usurped by Steward Tegel for the Full SUL confirmation as can be seen at The Bxr Wiki's log.

16:25, 23 таба һара 2013 Tegel (обсуждение | γйлэ) переименовал участника Matticusmadness (0 правок) в Matticusmadness (usurped) (Per request on my talk page on Meta)

16:25, 23 May 2013 Tegel (Talk | Contribs) renamed the party Matticusmadness (0 edits) in Matticusmadness (usurped) (Per request on my talk page on Meta)

For transparency: on En Wikipedia I have had 2 trips to CHU in the past. [1] [2]

If you're on IRC you might find me there as 'Matticusmadness' in the following channels.

#Wikipedia-en ^connect (Normally very silent, mention me for a response)
#Wikipedia-en-help ^connect (Makes efforts to help but my policy knowledge is a bit rusty.)
#Wikimedia-Stewards ^connect (May be found making questions about Steward things.)
#Wikipedia-en-spi ^connect (probably quiet unless talking to User:Dennis Brown or another well-known Admin.)
##Soni ^connect (Invite Only, ask User:TheOriginalSoni for access)

So what do I do way out here in the sticks of Wikipedia?[edit]

When i'm on Wikipedia I like to watch Special:AbuseLog and Special:log/newusers and act on anything that looks dodgy. I'm also a bit heavy handed with deletion so if I make an AfD, PROD or CSD that may seem blatantly obvious as a 'Keep' please bear in mind i'm simply trying to be helpful. There's bits and pieces on my Talk Page. I have a tendency to surf through Wikipedia following link after link leaving edits as I go, generally ending up on a noticeboard.

I also have two pages that I am working on.

User:Matticusmadness/Portitours A Jeep Safari team out in Portimao out in the Algarve.
~~User:Matticusmadness/Palcomix A Pornographic Website.~~
User:Matticusmadness/Cobalt Business Park A Business Park for businesses to set up shop.

Want to know what I consider my best edit yet? see this edit to Go North East.

Things of interest[edit]

The ability to play chess on Wikipedia

This IP literally has all of the Vandalism warnings from 2006 to 2012!

If you think that Wikipedia is a powerhouse nowadays then maybe these guys are to blame. biggest deletion discussion i've ever seen plus it was the third time someone had tried to cut them down.

This is kind of ironic when you really think about it.

This is simply gold if you need a laugh.

The simpleton's guide to brilliant signature editing.

Put {{subst:Wtw}} on a new user's page. You're welcome.

It's amazing how far an article can go in a year. From an AFD to a B Class Article. It's kind of significant to me because this is the second thing I recall doing with a Wikipedia account.
