Lead too long?
MatthewHoobin, if your only concern about List of giant-monster films is that the lead is too long, there is a specific template for that: Template:Lead too long. But I'm not sure why you think it is too long. It has the standard four paragraphs; and although the list is rather short, that is the result of a fight over sources in which editors kept removing and restoring the entire list. As a compromise, I started with a greatly reduced list and made sure the sources were strong. However, if you look at one of the old versions, you'll see that the list is potentially much longer. In the meantime, I think it would be more productive to add to the list than to shorten the lead. RockMagnetist(talk) 17:09, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- I was writing a lengthy reply to this in my defense, but upon further review I agree that I made an incorrect choice. I felt that that the lead section shouldn't detail the history of the list's content, but then I took a look at articles like List of James Bond films and List of Doctor Who serials (because these are two examples that appear when typing "List of" in the search box) and I realised that you're right. I'm sorry. -- Matthew - (talk · userpage · contributions) 18:27, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
- Quite alright! Can you remove it, then? RockMagnetist(talk) 23:11, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
Rocky genre
I have reverted the article to the WP:STATUSQUO and started a discussion at a Talk:Rocky#Genre. You are encourage to follow WP:BRD and participate in the discussion and to obtain a consensus for your alterations before restoring them again. If you continue edit-warring I may have to seek disciplinary action against you,but I would rather settle this amicably. Betty Logan (talk) 19:00, 4 July 2016 (UTC)
James Nguyen has been nominated for Did You Know
Talk:The Revenant (2015 film)/GA2
I noticed you pinged me in your comments about how this isn't GA-worthy right now, but couldn't exactly tell if you were keeping the review on hold or just simply failing it. See WP:Good article nominations/Instructions#Reviewing if you aren't sure what to do. In either case, it helps article participants to leave a notice as to whether you plan on placing an article on hold following a review or plan to fail it. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:42, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- I wasn't aware that an article could be placed on hold. In that case, I'll make changes accordingly and add an "on hold" tag when I can. –Matthew - (talk) 08:00, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
- Drop in comment from Talk page reader. I'm not sure that putting the article on a long term hold was what Snuggums was trying to point out here. If the article is ready for update assessment in a week or two then the assessment can go forward. However, in this case, the postponement appears to be for months and months (and indefinite) for The Revenant since it is the reigning Oscar winner. It could be in theaters until the end of the year in December when the new 2017 Oscar contenders take over at the theaters. If the current postponement is indefinite and long term then the nom should be removed at this time as suggested by Snuggums, and possibly renominated early next year as needed. Snuggums might clarify if this was what was meant or otherwise. Cheers. Fountains-of-Paris (talk) 14:49, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- I do not see how there could be any justification for delaying the review any further, much less into next year. The comments by Snuggums were made on an earlier GA review back in April when the movie hadn't been in full world-wide release. This no longer applies—in the unlikely event that it does, Snuggums is welcome to make a case for why on the review page. MatthewHoobin, it's time to resume the review. If you're no longer interested—and I hope you are—please let me know and I'll put it back in the nominations pool for a new reviewer. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 18:31, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

Rollback granted
Hi MatthewHoobin. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! NeilN talk to me 13:41, 21 July 2016 (UTC)
Cut and paste move
Hi Matthew,
I see that after I reverted your cut-and-paste move at MovieStop, you did it again, and added an infobox.
After the article gets properly moved, you'll need the following text back:
{{Infobox company | name = GameStop | logo = MovieStop logo.png | type = [[Public company|Public]] | foundation = 2004 | locations = 44 <small>(2014)</small><ref name=draw /> | industry = [[Retail]] | parent = [[GameStop]] }}

An administrator removed the citations because they were unneeded
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_natural_horror_films&diff=prev&oldid=722075371 --67.81.107.101 (talk) 00:59, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- Unless someone's able to find a policy that excludes lists from having citations, then that list should have citations. Other lists on Wikipedia have citations, and thus, consistency should win over someone simply saying "not needed". –Matthew - (talk) 01:02, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- The administrators agreed to remove it, though. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=722077551#Is_IMDB_a_reliable_source.3F --67.81.107.101 (talk) 01:03, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
- That's just because the citations were from IMDb, which is generally never considered a reliable source (there's even an essay about it). The page still needs references, just not from IMDb, because IMDB isn't a reliable source. I'm going to transfer this conversation to the article's talk page. –Matthew - (talk) 01:06, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Michael Philip Reed Redirect
Hello, I saw that you created a Michael Phillip Reed page which redirects to the Steam Powered Giraffe page, but he actually spells his middle name with only one "L" so I created a Michael Philip Reed page which also redirects to the SPG page. I didn't want to delete your page without asking, but I do believe that it should be removed because it gives an incorrect spelling of his name. Let me know what you think. Thanks for your cooperation, Warkgnall (talk) 07:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ah, nice eye. I've tagged the redirect I created for speedy deletion. –Matthew - (talk) 15:14, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Ian Carter
Do you intend to create a disambiguation page and fix all the broken links? GiantSnowman 16:53, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- While I did move the page for the pre-existing Ian Carter article to Ian Carter (footballer), it seems you've already made a disambiguation page just as well as I could have. But yes, I will fix links as best I can. –Matthew - (talk) 16:58, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
Matthew Santoro
Why did you revert my change on Matthew Santoro without explanation?
Wikipeida policy on biographies of living persons is quite clear about this.
"Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that .. is unsourced or poorly sourced".
The section I removed is sourced to Reddit (an online forum), YouTube (user generated content by an anonymous person) and some guy's personal website. These are not reliable sources suitable for the source of these allegations.
Do not restore this content without much better sourcing. Thanks.
--Escape Orbit (Talk) 17:06, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- Despite my personal convictions, you make an understandable point. –Matthew - (talk) 16:22, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
The description is perfect
That addition was unnecesarry. We already know that the killer animals are the main antagonists or at least play a major role. You were also taking it too literally in saying movies like Jaws don't count. "Normally harmless animals turned into killers" was just an example. --67.81.107.101 (talk) 00:57, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Jaws is certainly a natural horror film, but the description in the lead does not coincide with Jaws, and that's one of a few problems. Please see the incident's listing on the administrator's noticeboard. –Matthew - (talk) 01:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of George Miller (entertainer) [result: page placed on AfD]

Speedy deletion nomination of Magic Cat Academy [result: page kept]
Hello MatthewHoobin,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Magic Cat Academy for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can , but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. en:User:Rtrust (talk) 03:36, 31 October 2016 (UTC)
- Despite the defeat faced at the hands of the now-deleted articles "Ian Carter (entertainer)" and "George Miller (entertainer)", salvaging "Magic Cat Academy" from the abyss of terminated pages is a victory on my part. The contested deletion prevails! Cheers. –Matthew - (talk) 16:39, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

Mimikyu
Matthew, I obviously saw the sources as I merged them appropriately into the list article. I'd rather not drag this through an AfD. WP has a very long history of creating unwarranted articles for individual Pokémon, inevitably merged back to their parent lists. All Pokémon have some sort of routine coverage—the Internet thinks they're cute/fat/scary/whatever—and those passing mentions do not count towards the general notability guideline. Please revert your edit as an AfD would be a waste of time in this case. czar 22:06, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- I did take the numerous unwarranted articles into consideration when creating articles for Rowlet, Litten, Popplio, and yes, indeed Mimikyu. Hence, I only created those, as those appear to have the highest amount of coverage on the Internet. Going by the notability guideline, the article for Mimikyu has received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Granted, this of course only makes it presumed worthy of its own page. However, I find that Mimikyu is one of the four Pokémon (along with Rowlet, Litten, and Popplio) noteworthy enough to have its own article, judging by online coverage. I understand your perspective, but I nonetheless disagree that Mimikyu's article should become a redirect. –Matthew - (talk) 22:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
- This is a waste of time, but as you please. Noting your prior article deletions noted on this talk page, I would think that it would be worth revisiting your understanding of "significant coverage" before creating any more articles. In particular, as I already said, mind that listicles riffing on how individual Pokemon are scary/stupid/etc. is not even coverage at all—the question is whether there is depth sufficient to warrant a summary style split from the existing main article, which is the list. All four articles, based on their current sourcing, are bound to become redirects.

Before you bait me into calling you a name of some sort, please could you seek a consensus on the above' talk page per the ArbCom decision to do so. In addition to that, you may find it beneficial to get to grips with WP:BRD. When you've digested and understood that you'll see that the adding editor was bold by adding it, I reverted, and they now need to discuss. It really isn't that difficult. CassiantoTalk 11:46, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
- According to the page history, it seems you were the bold user by removing the infobox. –Matthew - (talk) 13:30, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
- This isn't the Chicken or the egg scenario, so please try to grow up. The boldness came with the first edit as it included an infobox; the revert was just that, the revert, and you and the other "editor" are the ones who have been disruptive and who have chosen to edit war and POV push. FYI, an article doesn't necessarily start life with an infobox, therefore the boldness comes with the addition of one, whether it be a new article or not. Listen, the article's shit and I'm certainly not going to waste my time defending it, so I'm not, but please, in future, try to engage your brain before hitting save; you have had a tendency of late to make yourself look really rather silly.

The film received mostly negative reviews.--Paleface Jack (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
- @Paleface Jack: The film received generally negative reviews from Rotten Tomatoes, Oh, the Horror!, and Bloodbath & Beyond, while Mondo Digital, HorrorNews.net, and HorrorTalk gave it generally positive reviews. To analyse that simply, that's half and half, so it'd make sense to say that the film received mixed reviews. If anything, we could always get rid of the generalised mention of overall reception entirely. –Matthew - (talk) 01:17, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
There should also have more reviews if possible since there is only 3 of 4 mentioned.--Paleface Jack (talk) 15:55, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
Stuart (song)
Hallo, When you create an article like this which needs a "disambiguation" in the title, don't forget to make a link so that readers can find it when they look for Stuart. In this case it needed to be added to the disambiguation page at that basic title (I've done it): sometimes it'll be a matter of adding a hatnote to an article, or expanding a hatnote. But whichever way it needs to be done, it'll help the readers who want to find out about your topic. Thanks. PamD 07:52, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

The article The Jar has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Notability
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wikipedia & Youtube Project
Hi MatthewHoobin,
My name’s Alex. I’m a student at American University, and I’m working on a project on Wikipedia and Youtube. I noticed you made a relatively large amount of edits to the List of Youtubers Wikipedia page and I was wondering if I could get your input on a few questions.
1. After talking to a few Wikipedians and doing some research, it seems as though Youtubers have a harder time obtaining a Wikipedia page and/or higher quality pages than other “traditional” professions. Do you agree with this assessment? If so, why do you think this is?
2. What could Wikipedia change to better accommodate notable figures from newer platforms like Youtube? What could Youtube do to better live up to Wikipedia standards?
3. If you could change the guidelines on Notability in any way, what changes would you make and why? If not, why do you think they’re stable enough that future societal progression could still be covered equally?
I look forward to hearing back from you.

PROD of Monkey Shines (video game)
Hi, you recently proposed Monkey Shines (video game) for deletion, saying the topic was not notable, as well as saying the article was insufficiently sourced and poorly laid out. Could you please explain why you believe the topic to be non-notable, and add your reason to the PROD rationale? Thank you. Linguisttalk|contribs 15:52, 14 May 2017 (UTC)
- @Linguist: According to Wikipedia's general notability guideline (WP:GNG), notability is generally established through significant coverage of the topic by reliable secondary sources. I looked up "monkey shines video game" and "monkey shines 1997". These searches resulted in coverage by TV Tropes (which, as a wiki, is not inherently reliable), forums (which are considered questionable sources under WP:RSSELF), and a source on the Internet Archive which appears to simply be a mirror (this source can be found here). On these grounds, the topic of the article doesn't appear notable. Additionally, the only citations in the article point to GitHub, which is just a file repository, and Rate Your Music, an unreliable collaborative database. In regards to the article being poorly laid out, its structure is very different in comparison to other video game articles:
- The gameplay is explained heavily in the introductory paragraph.
- The article does not contain an infobox, though these are optional.
- The game's soundtrack is listed in a section called "Audio", with a citation in the section heading (which violates MOS:HEAD).
- Two whole sections are allotted for crediting those involved with the game. Neither of the sections contain any reliable sources, and "Credits" sections are vastly uncommon for video game articles.
- The section "External links and references" contains dead links, unnecessary links, and unreliable links, some of which are redundantly added to the "References" section that follows it.

Deletion discussion about Dadcula [result: page deleted]
Hello, MatthewHoobin,

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks,

The Good Article Nominations Page Needs Your Help!
Hi there. You nominated an article for evaluation against the good article criteria some time ago, but I noticed you have yet to review an article yourself. Although it's not mandatory, it would be helpful if every user who creates a nomination also reviewed at least one other article, as this would help clear the massive backlog. Reviewing someone else's article can also help you in the long run: every article reviewed brings yours one position closer to the top of the nominations list! If you worked on the article you nominated, chances are you're already familiar with the six good article criteria. It really isn't hard to review, and may take an experienced editor only a few hours to complete. If you have the time and would like to help, please click here, take a moment to figure out which article you'd like to review, then click on its (start review) button. Thank you for reading, and if you need assistance with your review at any point, please feel free to leave a message on my talk page and I'll respond to you as soon as I can.

Thank you for uploading File:Mothman statue in Point Pleasant, West Virginia.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hello, I'm seeing that you're adding (and revert-warring to re-add) material to list of cryptids. Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience, which means it falls within Wikipedia's many pseudoscience guidelines (WP:PSEUDOSCIENCE). However, much of the material you're adding makes no mention of the pseudoscience whatsoever, which means it falls in violation of WP:SYNTH.

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Milicent Patrick
Hey -- I have a copy of The Lady from the Black Lagoon, the new biography on Milicent Patrick. What do you think you'll need to cite from it in order to fix the article? Let me know, and I'll see how I can help. :-) Stolengood (talk) 05:43, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Stolengood: I appreciate your willingness to help! It's kind of hard to tell what I'd specifically like to cite since I don't actually have the book, but I'm sure that there must be information in the book that can be used to expand the content of the article. I assume that the book includes extensive information on her experiences with Creature from the Black Lagoon and on how she was denied credit for her design work, so that could be added, and if the book includes information about her early life and childhood, personal and romantic relationships, and post-Creature career, that would be worth adding too. –Matthew - (talk) 16:55, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
- @MatthewHoobin: -- I'll have to dive deep to be sure of page numbers for cites, but Milicent Patrick grew up in, of all places, Hearst Castle. Her father, Camille Rossi, was the structural engineer in building large parts of the estate, so his whole family lived on the property for as long as he was employed. After he was fired, they moved to Glendale, and from there Milicent Patrick started her professional career. :-) Stolengood (talk) 00:26, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
