My User Page needs serious work sometime, to get it out of the 2012 - 2015 run. If anything’s now ‘not compliant’ with Wiki standards, keep this in mind before you go asking me to change it.

If you’re following one of my NewUsers log entries, as added to a talk page, I run on UK Standard time. I’d advise checking the contribs, to see when I added it, to match it to your time.

I just float around NewUsers, and look into anything that’s got a blue link for Contributions.

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

Matticusmadness approves your good faith edits.

This page in a nutshell: ”Swing!” Okay, granted it’s not a proper use of Nutshell, but I need something in here, to remind me that Nutshell exists.

User:Matticusmadness/Userbox Control is a work in progress for a solid organisational structure of all of my userboxes. as of 25th January there has been two different rooms with more on the way when possible.

Introduction

Greetings from the helpdesk of your friendly Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages 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?

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 Misplaced Pages I have had 2 trips to CHU in the past.

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

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

So what do I do way out here in the sticks of Misplaced Pages?

When i'm on Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages following link after link leaving edits as I go, generally ending up on a noticeboard.

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

Things of interest

The ability to play chess on Misplaced Pages

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

If you think that Misplaced Pages 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 Misplaced Pages account.
