User talk:Matticusmadness

Welcome. This page is for complaints of vandalism from IP Address 82.33.215.26 and anyone who catches it doing so is asked to report it to me so I can pass on the information to our technicians who will trace the computer that did it and from there the student and leave them to face the full force of our no-nonsense punishment system.I will also be making contributions to Wikipedia where I think I can be of help. From IP Address 82.33.215.26 I have made several contributions that have been helpful and plan to continue it in a way that I can be recognised as an individual, gotta have some recognition haven't I? XD Happy Wiki editing :) CHCSPrefect (talk) 11:35, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

As well as from 82.33.215.26 and CHCSPrefect I may run my edits from here as I'm going to start jumping around Wikipedia if i'm at home and on the laptop. 90.197.33.101 (talk) 18:48, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

82.33.215.26 and 90.197.33.101 confirmed as IPs for CHCSPrefect editing 82.33.215.26 is my school's IP Address while 90.197.33.101 is just me. Vandalism is unlikely to appear from 90.197.33.101 but 82.33.215.26 is still liable to it happening because it's a school full of students. CHCSPrefect (talk) 18:53, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Double vote?

It appears that you may have placed two votes on the Megan Stammers AfD page, please could you clarify and correct if this is the case - many thanks Markdarrly (talk) 14:32, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

You can delete it by going into "Edit" and then add your comments to the original vote that you castMarkdarrly (talk) 10:33, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

hayley the fox said hello

It was me guv!!

You did "bump" into me at the Stammers page, what can I do to be of assistance??Markdarrly (talk) 11:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm looking for someone to make the Megan Stammers page On Wikinews. Do you think it would be too late for that? I'd do it myself if I had the right idea of how to construct a professional news article like Wikinews is full of, but to be honest I think i'm still a few pages short of the right idea. And as for it already being there I checked that.

I could also do with knowing of a page for making a good citation if you know one. One that explains making a citation with details next to it rather than the link alone, can you help with that please? CHCSPrefect (talk) 08:17, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

I think the best timeto be writing a news artcle about this incident is after Forrest has been dragged back to the UK and made a plea in the court. After that time, more info will become known, as of now, all we really know is that he legged it with a love sick kid! After he has is back in blighty and more is known, il write it with you if want.

As for the Good cite bit, if you click on the HELP incon on the bar onthe left of the screen, it will bring up HELP CONTENTS, and inside you will find a direct link to CITING SOURCES. When you first open the help page, you may have to click on the SHOW tab at the right hand side. Hope that helps. Markdarrly (talk) 08:43, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

No problem, you know where I am if you need any further info, just tap the keys!!! Markdarrly (talk) 08:50, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Rasta mousseee!

References on a user page

{{helpme}} I'm looking to get <[ref]> to work on the User Page.

Hello, The tags to use are <ref></ref> and {{reflist}}. Is that what you wanted to know? Patchy1 11:23, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Partially, but i've tried putting { {Reflist} } next to the <[ref> and at the top of the page but the message was still showing. The bit about the template makes me wonder if i'm putting it on the completely wrong page. Any ideas? CHCSPrefect (talk) 11:32, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Note: I have moved your reply back to your talk page so the discussion is easier to follow. Use colons to indent here and {{Talkback|CHCSPrefect}} on my page to notify me.

A typical reference will look like this:

Text to be referenced<ref>Reference text</ref>

==References==
{{reflist}}

If you like I can edit your userpage to include the above example. -- Patchy1 11:49, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Close enough, I've figured it out now so thanks. CHCSPrefect (talk) 11:41, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

I was part way through typing the above entry when you posted. If you need anymore help, contact me anytime. -- Patchy1 11:49, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Admin page

To be honest, I can't quite remember when I registered my account. And the User Creation log seems to have forgotten who I am... or at least when I showed up here. caknuck _° needs to be running more often 03:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CHCSPrefect", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies shared use as outlined in WP:ISU. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Elizium23 (talk) 07:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Greetings again Elizium, I see you beat me to fixing the vandalism on the school's Talk Page XD Guess you've decided to keep an eye on that page too huh? While i'm very thankful for you doing so you can generally trust me to handle that.

As for my username could you please give me your logic as to how it is misleading? Is it because of the 'prefect' bit? How does CHCSElitePrefect sound to you and the guidelines? I have a good example to set and if rules are in jeopardy and it's my fault then what kind of lead does that make huh? :/ CHCSPrefect (talk) 08:21, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear CHCSPrefect. I don't usually chip into things going on between two people but I think that your username is ok. I believe that Elizium should tell you why he/she thinks your name violates the policy, it's not for you to say why you think it's ok, let them tell you why it's not ok Markdarrly (talk) 11:34, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

As greatful for your intervention and input as I am Mark when I look at WP:ISU it seems to make sense. CHCS is short for my School's full name (The IP Address for which this account was made to keep an eye on) and most schools have more than one Prefect. Granted most wouldn't think that far but folks like Elizium try to think like the minority, this username wasn't made for promotion though, This is my Twitter username too My resolution is simple, if Elizium's logic isn't anywhere near this and doesn't fully add up to my knowledge or to WP:ISU's then I will take it up with an Administrator. I think it seems fair. CHCSPrefect (talk) 12:45, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

From the info that you included in your message, you defo need to change your user name now or you may be the subject of unwanted attention. It is very easy to track a person down from the info that they put into Wikipedia, all that is needed is a quick look at what you have been editing and more often than not, people will have edited the page about the town that they live in. From just a few snippets of info, a very clear picture can be built up of a person and the location - this could leave you with a problem if you offend another Wikipedia user and they are on the lookout for revenge, I know it sounds extreme, but people have been traced and phonecalls to their school/workplace have been made. You should change your user name so that you cannot be identified by a 3rd party. Markdarrly (talk) 13:25, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

I've put in a request. I'll contact you after the name's been changed. CHCSPrefect (talk) 13:34, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for being engaged and watchful of the students in your care. Many organizations are pretty silent when it comes to abuse reports and problems they would be better equipped to handle rather than doing it here. You are being proactive so that is great. I don't know if your username change will be approved. The new one has the same problem as the old one: it indicates a role that could be shared or filled by others rather than a single person. Is there a way you could incorporate your first name, or a nickname or some identifier that would be unique to you? That is the best way. Good luck. Elizium23 (talk) 06:53, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I made this account to cut down the Vandalism and while doing damage control around Wikipedia i've realised that we have a lot more than other IPs. You'll have noticed I placed the SoftBlock on it, look at the log, the edits for Tramp (minus edits on IP talk pages and the edit at Talk:Tramp ) and onwards are all Vandalism edits, for that matter could you look at Wrekenton's history and see if it was Vandalism that I reverted or not? I'm on the fence about it.

As for the username I have an idea but i'll need my current request cancelled, how will I go about that? CHCSPrefect (talk) 08:21, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

The Userboxes are driving me crazy. Could someone please sort them so there's 4 to each line? I'm no good with coding so edit their sizes if needed.  Done, give me a shout if it needs tweaking. Yunshui 雲‍水 10:13, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
