Your user page
[edit]Hi Matt, and thanks for your edits to Task-based language learning! It's made the article look a whole lot better. I noticed that you had some trouble posting a link to your personal website. I'm not exactly sure what happened - I can't find any record of you tripping any edit filters, or being reverted by our bot that patrols external links - but if you want to link to your site and the software still won't let you, just let me know and I'll make the edit for you. I'm an administrator here at the English Wikipedia, and I should be able to blast through the technical defences with my l33t p3rmissions and the secret handshake. To test it, here's a test: this is a link to matbury.com. (I'm assuming that this is you.) Let me know if you have any questions about anything to do with Wikipedia, and I'll be happy to help.

Task-based language learning
[edit]Hi again Matt. I've noticed you're interested in the Task-based language learning article, and I like your updates to it. I'm really glad that there's someone else out there that's interested in updating it. Please don't be too put off by the tags I put on it - they are not meant as a criticism, but rather they are suggestions on things to improve. I am well aware that this site has a steep learning curve, so don't sweat it. :) No-one is expecting perfection from anyone here. Also, I have a suggestion - would you like to work together to improve the article and maybe get it to Good Article status? I've been meaning to work on it for a while, and this is as good an excuse as any to get started on it. Let me know what you think. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 03:20, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Waldorf education
[edit]Normally, cited material is not removed from an article without some discussion on the talk page. I'm not sure why you took this out; probably there was a good reason. Please explain and discuss this at Talk:Waldorf education.
It looked like straightforward promotion or vandalism to me: a dubious claim linked to an editorial opinion. I've noticed that this has been happening in a few places on Wikipedia with regards to pseudo-scientific claims, such as in this case, Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences hypothesis: It's not a theory because it hasn't been tested because it's a poor hypothesis, i.e. impossible to negate/falsify.Matbury (talk) 01:33, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Dark Mail Alliance, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.darkmail.info/.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) MadmanBot (talk) 02:29, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Dark Mail Alliance
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Dark Mail Alliance requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.darkmail.info. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Carnivorous Bunny (talk) 02:31, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
