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. :) --] 20:59, 25 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)

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:

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)
