Caution

Please stop. If you continue to blank out (or delete portions of) page content, templates or other materials from Misplaced Pages, as you did to Matt Sanchez, you will be blocked from editing. Aatombomb 01:47, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Editing an article about yourself

There seems to be some indication that you are in fact Matt Sanchez. If so, please review and follow Misplaced Pages's policies on editing one's own biography and on conflict of interest. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 16:38, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The two problematical items you mentioned on my talk page aren't in the article anymore, so hopefully they are no longer an issue. As you know, it's pretty much impossible to keep inaccuracies out of an article; the best that can be hoped for is that they are promptly removed. (In that regard, I just removed a category, in the article, related to one of the two items you mentioned.)

In general, negative information about a person if it lacks a reliable source can be removed "on sight", per WP:BLP. If you do need to remove such information in the future, and run into any resistance, please feel free to drop me a note; I'll be happy to help on that or anything else I can.

As far as anything else, please note that I'm just another editor here. I do hope you find the policies above to reasonable. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 19:18, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Just want to add to what John Broughton said--I'm really trying to work on getting this article NPOV, and the insertion of unrelated images and unsourced anecdotes are just making it harder (not to mention probably inviting more anonymous attack edits). I happen to think there is no need for this article at all; that it was tossed up as a blogosphere-directed hit, but as long as it's here I want to make it as fair as is possible. FYI, John Broughton is extremely fair and isn't part of the groups inserting weasel words and libelous statements. Seriously, take his advice.  :) --Beth C. 20:59, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Matt, first I think words such as 'escorts' are giving you the benefit of the doubt to begin with: maybe nothing more than a full-body massage happens in exchange for $300/hour. However, I find it strange that in articles you allegedly wrote and said "I'm not denying it" and "it happened over ten years ago" that you would turn around and now deny it completely, conveneniently as a "don't ask, don't tell" military investigation has opened up. For someone who has courted controversy, this about-face when the wind changes direction is quite stunning.→ R Young {ł_talk} 05:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:MattSanchez.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MattSanchez.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 20:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Violations of policy

Please stop adding information to the article Matt Sanchez.

Per Misplaced Pages:Autobiography, It is difficult to write neutrally about yourself. Therefore, it is considered proper on Misplaced Pages to let others do the writing. Instead, contribute material or make suggestions on the article's talk page and let independent editors write it into the article itself.

In particular, unreferenced (and quite possibly unverifiable) statements such as these, which you added, are inappropriate:

• An autodidact, Sanchez has been able to both acquire several languages and pen articles in those languages

• Lovingly referred to as Refer Mechs, Marines claim the jack of all trades combat engineers have the most important job in the Corps: Keeping the beer

• Matt Sanchez was known for being especially muscular. His fellow Marines asked him to move a refrigeration unit without a crane. Rumor has it, that he did just that. There are also reports that his arms (19") did not fit well into his Marine camies and that the sleeves needed to be tailored to accommodate his girth.

Please let other editors evaluate what is appropriate to add to your article: It is impossible for you to have a neutral point of view. And please not the per WP:NOT, Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collector of facts; we don't put everything that is known about a person into that person's biography.

If you continue to add information to your own, article, you may be blocked for violating Misplaced Pages policy. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

March 2007

Please do not delete content from articles on Misplaced Pages, as you did to Matt Sanchez. Your edits appear to be vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Real96 06:46, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Misplaced Pages, as you did to Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject LGBT studies, you will be blocked from editing. WjBscribe 23:24, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Neutrality

There's no neutrality here. The bloggers are breaking their own rules. I added a different interview with Kevin McCullough. You have not been at all neutral. The LGBT community wishes to publicly assassinate me, and you insist that I have no neutrality.

I suggest we post the longer, more thorough Kevin McCullough advertisement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluemarine (talk • contribs) 07:08, March 28, 2007 (UTC)

Name-Calling

Jihadist because people have issued a fatwa because gay men, like yourself, who have a personal bias against me because you feel threatened by someone who doesn't agree with you.

My face is everywhere online. 00:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

Matt,

Why do you insist on calling everyone a name ('jihadists,' 'these fags') that you don't agree with? First, I wouldn't be surprised if you were 'straight' but that would make you 'gay-for-pay' which means you performed gay acts for money...i.e. 'prostitution.' You said yourself that 'pornography is prostitution' which by YOUR definition makes you a (fill in the blank).

Notably, you call people 'faceless cowards' when in fact their faces appear online. Hmmm. You complain of bias but you break every rule to push an agenda which is itself biased, contorted, distorted, and totally unsupportable. I think you must be enjoying the attention. If so, keep it up.→ R Young {ł_talk} 04:29, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

LGBT and some of the other homo bloggers have been extremely biased. I'm sure you've noticed their bias. Bluemarine 23:56, 26 March 2007 (UTC)Matt Sanchez

Matt Sanchez

DYK info like that doesn't go on the article page. Plus, that info needs to be sourced. Further, unless you are an admin, you shouldn't add the protected templates. Please stop adding this to the article. MECU≈talk 14:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Your talk page

Hi. Please do not use your talk page (this page here) as a draft space for your articles. It is needed for others to communicate with you. You have unlimited draft space in your user space; just create pages like User:Bluemarine/My New Article. Sandstein 18:21, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Please read your messages! You are disrupting this talk page by posting the article about you on it. If you want to experiment with it, please to this somewhere else in your user space! Sandstein 18:48, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Please read this warning, or you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages

Most of your image uploads lack any source and/or licencing information. Please clean these images up immediately by adding the correct tags, or have them deleted by adding the {{db-author}} tag. If you fail to do so, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages because of persistent copyright violations. Sandstein 18:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

In reply to your question, please see WP:TAGS. In short, if the image is copyrighted by someone else, you must provide a fair use tag (see how-to). If you created the image, then the tag you apply to the image determines its licence. In either case, you must specify the source of the image (e.g. a weblink, or "own work").

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Misplaced Pages's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated very frequently. You can watchlist it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• Most important discussions take place on the project's main discussion page; it is highly recommended that you watchlist it.
• The project has several departments, which handle article quality assessment, detailed article and content review, offline publication, article improvement contests, and other tasks.
• We have a number of task forces that focus on specific topics, nations, periods, and conflicts.
• We've developed a variety of guidelines for article structure and content, template use, categorization, and other issues that you may find useful.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Carom 18:35, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to ] for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page.

Template:Do not delete

Ridiculous, if anything I have been far too blatant. I've never once denied my identity. Who are you?Matt Sanchez 03:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Cpl Tyler Rock

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Cpl Tyler Rock, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Civility

Perhaps if you didn't spend your time gay-baiting, people would have more sympathy for you. From your posts here, you clearly have a lot to learn about politics. Aatombomb 01:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Attombomb you're such a cowardly effete. Matthew Sanchez 03:23, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Matt, you should read WP:Civil. People can be blocked for comments like the one's you're making on the Talk page of your article.Wjhonson 03:10, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Matt, I second this comment by Wjhonson. Please watch the personal attacks. I understand how this is a complicated issue, to say the least, but personal attacks are not tolerated, from anyone. --JoanneB 03:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Joanne, please check the myriad comments that WhJohnson is making toward me. Matt Sanchez 04:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Matt, even so, please stay civil yourself. Others can be warned and eventually blocked for incivility and personal attacks as well, but you'll need to be more specific than to point to his contributions in general. Kind regards, --JoanneB 04:29, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Matt Sanchez

I see from your recent actions that you are unhappy with coverage about you on Misplaced Pages at Matt Sanchez. We take very seriously any comments from the subjects of articles that their content are untrue or not presented neutrally. Having looked at the article, I can see why you are concerned. I would like to discuss the contents of the article with you and the others involved so that a mutually agreed version can be reached. Int he meantime please do not edit war over the article.

I see you are keeping a draft of the article below, I am going to move it for you to User:Bluemarine/Sandbox, a dedicated page where you can edit it. This will allow this page to be used just for messages to you... WjBscribe 04:04, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I have protected the page to prevent further edit warring and so your concerns can be discussed fully. Note that my protection of the page is not necessarily an endorsement of its content at the time of protection. Please join in the discussions at Talk:Matt Sanchez so we can agree a version that conveys the relevant information neutrally and that you feel is as fair to you as possible. Thank you. WjBscribe 04:22, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It really is in your interest for you to comment on the article's talkpage about your issues with this article so we can work towards a version that is neutral and balanced. WjBscribe 04:18, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
