Hello, Matthead. Since I added your encounters with Sennen goroshi and his suspected sock IPs to automobile related articles and others as evidences for Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Sennen goroshi, so your input would be highly appreciated. Thanks.--Caspian blue 15:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Matthead! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 10 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 940 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Wolfgang von Trips
Hello, I thought I should let you know that I've requested a page move from Wolfgang Graf Berghe von Trips to Wolfgang von Trips, as you made the original move a few years ago.--Midgrid(talk) 21:10, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
I'd appreciate your comment on this. Sandstein 09:08, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
March 2010
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below; but you should read our guide to appealing arbitration enforcement blocks first. Sandstein 22:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC) Notice to administrators: In a 2010 decision, the Committee held that "Administrators are prohibited from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page. Any administrator that overturns an enforcement action outside of these circumstances shall be subject to appropriate sanctions, up to and including desysopping, at the discretion of the Committee."
This is a block per WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions for your nationalist WP:BATTLEground conduct and harrassment at [1] as discussed at [2]. Please stop this. Sandstein 23:00, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- This is an unacceptable statement by Sandstein. Shame on you. -- Matthead Discuß 00:05, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Matthead (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
What? Loosmark follows me around, provoking me repeatedly, and Sandstein blocks me? What a lop-sided act. No wonder admin Sandstein was recommended on the EEML mailing list, and Loosmark has chosen to complain on his talk, successfully. Somewhere, somebody is laughing his ass off.
Decline reason:
Procedural decline: A reviewing administrator is not allowed to unblock unilaterally someone who an administrator blocked to enforce an ArbCom decision. Please see WP:AEBLOCK for instructions on how to properly appeal this block. NW (Talk) 23:17, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Uh, what? Special rules? A blocking admin just has to claim he enforces an Arbcom decision, and the block must not be questioned by another admin? Beats me. -- Matthead Discuß 23:25, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
- There are indeed special rules, but that doesn't mean the block is unquestionable. Feel free to appeal using the {{sanction appeal}} template. NW (Talk) 23:27, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Medal table
Ich denke am vielversprechendsten wäre es vorerst nur die FRG/GER Fusion zu unterstützenden. Wenn ich mir die zurückliegenden Versuche anschaue hier einen Konsens zu erlangen, denke ich, dass hier die Logik am meisten überzeugt. Wäre schön wenn Du die Variante unterstützen könntest. Es sieht so aus als wenn hier langer Atem und konsequentes Argumentieren notwendig wäre. Cheers KarlMathiessen (talk) 22:43, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
- Langer Atem und konsequentes Argumentieren reicht nicht wenn einige Leute ihre Meinung durchdrücken wollen, oder gar nur provozieren, während die schweigende Mehrheit schweigt und schweigt und schweigt ... Es wird wohl vonnöten sein, das Thema "Westdeutschland gibt es seit 1990 nicht mehr, und Deutschland gab es zwischen 1945 und 1990 nicht" mal grundsätzlich klären zu lassen, in einem RfC oder so. Aber da werden nur wenige konstruktiv mitmachen, dafür aber viele der POV-Ritter auftauchen. -- Matthead Discuß 16:32, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Appeal by Matthead
Moved to AN. NW (Talk) 03:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- So that you know what is going on, the template you filled out is the start of a community discussion, which will take place on the Administrator's noticeboard. This discussion will examine the situation that led to this block, and determine if it should be lifted or (if it takes too long, which in this case is quite possible) noted in your block log as improper. If you have further comments to make in regards to this discussion, post them here, and they will be transferred over to AN by another editor. This procedure is required for Arbitration Enforcement blocks, as these are made under the authority of the Arbitration Committee, and cannot be unilaterally undone by any single administrator, only with the written consent of the Committee or a community consensus. Hersfold (t/a/c) 03:32, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- At Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Appeal_by_Matthead, there is a trial in which I have no chance to defend myself, as I am still blocked, while Sandstein and Loosmark are allowed to participate. Very fair procedure. -- Matthead Discuß 13:44, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
Voluntary agreement
Do you accept the terms outlined with respect to you here? Ncmvocalist (talk) 14:06, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ncmvocalist, I appreciate your effort with this proposal, and your input at the now closed ANI discussion. Actually, me staying away from the article on West Germany (and related ones) might have benefits for me, as the three latest blocks of me were related to it - or rather to others having rather odd ideas about it, and me getting punished for not swallowing them with a smile. As for the question: Ncmvocalist, may I ask you if you would accept to avoid editing your home country article and talk page in exchange for an unrelated foreigner doing the same? -- Matthead Discuß 22:21, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
- I'd give such an area a break even if the other side continues to edit the article; an agreement of this sort is more of a rare luxury than something that commonly happens on-wiki. Staying away from the area you are most passionate about can be really useful, and I also think it would be beneficial for each individual. You may of course disagree, and you're not being forced to sign the agreement, but it's there...for now anyway. Do have a think about it. Regards, Ncmvocalist (talk) 09:49, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
- It's not beneficial for Wikipedia if well-informed editors stay away from an article, and outsiders can establish their POV as they please. One of the biggest problems of Wikipedia is that the "civility" of the talk among editors is held in much higher esteem than the reliability of the actual content they add or remove. Editors who can not win a content dispute can still succeed by provoking opponents, and by finding a sympathetic admin who edit restricts or blocks opponents. Seen it many times, almost exclusively on the receiving end. Reasonable mainly non-passionate editors are driven away, and highly motivated POV warriors (like that one) remain (successful). So I simply could give up on Wikipedia, too. Or maybe I should only edit articles others are most passionate about, applying some needles and pins there with cold blood, until the blood of an editor who actually cares about the topic starts boiling? -- Matthead Discuß 17:06, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas
Thank you for creating an article about this important encyclopedia.
Apparently you did not like my changes.
1. What did you mean by "You can not make a copy&paste move"? I did it, so you must mean that my procedure violated some guideline. What is the preferred way of accomplishing the switch between 2 pages? This is a question about procedure, not about whether or not a switch between 2 pages is the right thing to do.
2. The article Universal Cyclopædia & Atlas includes material about Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. The two works are unrelated. Do you object to removing the irrelevant material about the latter work?
3. Why do you not want Universal Cyclopædia & Atlas redirected to Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas? The latter is the title printed on the actual work, and I don't see why saving 2 characters by replacing "and" with "&" would be your preference.
4. Is there an online edition of the "1902 edition" that "is now in the public domain"? I would be grateful if you could provide a link.
I found some websites where "Universal Cyclopaedia and Atlas" was confused with Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography. I suspect the date 1902 comes from the work on American biography, since "Universal Cyclopædia and Atlas" editions are 1900, 1901, 1903, and 1905.
I found "JOHNSON'S UNIVERSAL CYCLOPEDIA" (1898) at: http://www.archive.org/stream/johnsonsunivers01pubgoog/johnsonsunivers01pubgoog_djvu.txt
I am not seeking a battle, I just want to understand your reasons for undoing my changes.
I'll watch this page for your response.
- Well, please see Help:Moving a page for the guideline. It is explained there why copying/pasting is not the proper thing to do. As for the content, I can't remember details, so please fix it. -- Matthead Discuß 01:31, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Matthead. Because you participated in Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2010 January 18#Richard Tylman, you may be interested in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard Tylman (4th nomination). Cunard (talk) 02:07, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm sticking to the proposal to let uninvolved editors decide, as they now have a chance to succeed. Unlike in prior cases, some supporters of the subject are currently banned from editing. -- Matthead Discuß 22:51, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- Richard Tylman was deleted. -- Matthead Discuß 19:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
Arbitration enforcement topic ban (WP:DIGWUREN)
- Matthead (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Considering that your contributions and your block log show that you are habitually engaging in battleground-like conduct related to nationalist issues involving Poland and Germany, that you have been repeatedly sanctioned for related disruption under WP:DIGWUREN, and that you now show up on my talk page making demands for action against others even while being yourself, again, involved in nationalist edit wars at Wilhelm Gnapheus, Rübezahl, Henricus Petrus and Mauritius Ferber, I consider your mode of editing in this topic area to be persistently disruptive. For this reason, per WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions, you are hereby indefinitely banned from the topic of Poland and Poles, broadly construed. For the avoidance of doubt, the topic includes subjects which are or were only partially Polish, or whose Polishness is disputed (by you or others), and the ban includes all articles, other pages, parts of pages and discussions related to the topic, and does not contain exceptions for reverting vandalism or WP:BLP violations (but these may be reported to the appropriate noticeboard instead). Be advised that any violations of this ban may result in immediate long blocks. This sanction may be appealed as described at WP:DIGWUREN#Discretionary sanctions. Sandstein 20:59, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- I'm waiting some time to see whether you retract that. -- Matthead Discuß 22:34, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
- In vain, hardly surprising. Only four days ago, I had asked asked you, Sandstein, about a certain user who has been warned. Since, said user has returned, and has just been asked to redact a personal attack. Wonder what will happen next. -- Matthead Discuß 18:50, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

FYI
I'd report this 3RR violation myself but it's too late in the day for me to figure out the instructions! [4] [5] [6]
He's also been warned again for WP:BATTLE behaviour ("Continued misuse of this forum as a battleground will result in sanctions.")[7] despite already being under a DIGWUREN Discretionary sanctions warning for, among other things, violating WP:BATTLE [8]. Is the guy not subject to normal WP policies? Varsovian (talk) 22:29, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
- Strangely enough, although his initial reaction to my 3RR warning on his talkpage was to deny that he had reverted me "even once" and to accuse me of making "bogus accusation." [9], he then backed off slightly, stating "I don't remember reverting any of your edits. Please show me the diff which of your edits have I reverted and I will gladly undo it." [10]. But after I posted the above message to you, he self-reverted [11]. Of course he couldn't just self-revert, he had to threaten to take action "returned the collapse thing to avoid the usual wiki-drama. i still don't agree with it and will raise the issue at an appropriate board later" [12]. He then went on to prove his commitment to WP:CIVIL with a post which simply stated "Varsovian, you have just re-defined the word epic fail." [13] Varsovian (talk) 13:20, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

hey
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Matthead (sorry this keyboard doesnt have brackets on it). Radek (or tildas) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Radeksz (talk • contribs) 21:52, 27 July 2010
- BTW: any Wikipedia edit window has a "Wiki markup" section that can be used with a mouse or touchpad or whatever moves the pointer/cursor. While this remark by Radek is not as talkative as the last one, it is about as friendly.
- So yet another AE drama? Well, AE requires that a "request may be declined without further action if insufficient or unclear information is provided in the "Request" section below". This AE entry by Radek was judged severely malformed by an admin. Also, the big colorful box at the top of the page states "Please be aware that as a user requesting arbitration enforcement, it is your responsibility to supply all information required for administrators to determine whether enforcement is required, as described in the instructions. Your request may otherwise be declined without further action". Thus, I'm convinced that a neutral admin will decline it without further ado. -- Matthead Discuß 21:02, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

List of Nordschleife lap times (racing)
Hi Matthead. I won't change it back, but I disagree with you about the decimal format in List of Nordschleife lap times (racing). Even though the track is in Germany, this is the English-language Wikipedia, so I believe the times and speeds should be written using English-language punctuation, i.e. using a full stop as a decimal point, not a comma. Note that when I made my changes, I tried to only change the values in the tables and to leave the values in the references as they were, but I might have accidentally changed some of the references as well.

For many years now it's always the same old trouble with the same old small group of Polish non-Cabal, non-EEML etc. editors.

Reminder to administrators: In March 2010, ArbCom adopted a procedure prohibiting administrators "from reversing or overturning (explicitly or in substance) any action taken by another administrator pursuant to the terms of an active arbitration remedy, and explicitly noted as being taken to enforce said remedy, except: (a) with the written authorization of the Committee, or (b) following a clear, substantial, and active consensus of uninvolved editors at a community discussion noticeboard (such as WP:AN or WP:ANI). If consensus in such discussions is hard to judge or unclear, the parties should submit a request for clarification on the proper page." Administrators who reverse an arbitration enforcement block, such as this one, without clear authorisation will be summarily desysopped.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Disambiguation link notification for April 4
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Cartography, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Mine, Church and Burg. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Your administrator and bureaucrat status on la.wikisource
Hello. A policy regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by community consensus in 2013. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.
You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on the wiki listed above. Since that wiki does not have its own rights review process, the global one applies.
If you want to keep your rights, you should inform the community of the wiki about the fact that the stewards have sent you this information about your inactivity. If the community has a discussion about it and then wants you to keep your rights, please contact the stewards at m:Stewards' noticeboard, and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights.
If you wish to resign your rights, you can reply here or request removal of your rights on Meta.
If there is no response at all after approximately one month, stewards will proceed to remove your administrator and/or bureaucrat rights. In ambiguous cases, stewards will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact the stewards.

Ways to improve Konrad von Erlichshausen

Nomination of Center for Peace and Civil Society for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Center for Peace and Civil Society is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Center for Peace and Civil Society until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Störm (talk) 12:17, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Center for Peace and Civil Society
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 Center for Peace and Civil Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from {{{value1}}}. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material 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 use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy 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 "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 deleted 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. Largoplazo (talk) 12:25, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
The article Heimatforscher has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
Delete Dictionary definition is not a sufficiently notable concept to warrant an English WP article.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:56, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
The article Michel Ferté has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources to estalish notability. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Your signature and linter errors
Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to [[User:Matthead|Matthead]] [[User_talk:Matthead|<small style="color:#ffff00;background:#0000cc;"> Discuß </small>]] ASAP. Your signature also uses , and the replacement signature doesn't render those even when nowiki is used. However that is a simplified version of your sig; if you want to use , use the replacement signature [[User:Matthead|Matthead]] [[User_talk:Matthead|<small style="color:#ffff00;background:#0000cc;"> Discuß </small>]] .
The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature. See WP:SIGFONT for more info.
If the software doesn't accept my replacement signature, let me know, and if that's the case, unfortunately you may have to change it to something else. Sheep (talk) 17:41, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

Duchy of Troppau
Hi Matthead, I've posted a "citation needed" warning on a statement you edited many years ago in the article on the Duchy of Troppau, which appears to be the result of personal speculation. The statement reads: 'After the 1620 Battle of White Mountain Prince Karl also acquired the Duchy of Krnov, and ever since the heads of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein bear the title "Duke of Troppau and Jägerndorf".' Stating "ever since" seems to conflict with the attribution, which is generally reported, of the ducal title to Maria Theresia of Liechtenstein who was no head of the family (and to her husband and son). I wonder if you could please indicate the source from which your statement is taken, and perhaps provide some information, if you have any, on the rules followed in the duchy for hereditary succession (was the Salic law in force?). Cheers. Jeanambr (talk) 13:20, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
