A tag has been placed on Template:The Most Popular Girls in School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).

Article's author Go ahead and delete this, this was a test because at the time I didn't know how to formulate a page. Sorry. --Matt723star (talk) 21:31, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to

talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button or located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when they said it. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 21:23, 28 January 2013 (UTC)[reply

Any more recreations of anything with a title that resembles "The Most Popular Girl in School" will result in you being blocked from editing. The article was deleted. Constantly recreating it, blanking it, and moving it to inappropriate places will not bring it back.—Kww(talk) 05:28, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not fair at all. Not at all. It has credibility, notability, and everything else in order to have a Wikipedia page. This is bullying, seriously. --Matt723star (talk) 05:48, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's not bullying. I'm sorry you take it that way. You won't be blocked if you create it in your user space, leave it there, and improve it with sources. Once you have a set of reliable sources that talk about it, then we can talk about restoring it. But constantly recreating it, moving it all over, and then requesting deletion just pisses everyone off.—Kww(talk) 06:11, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

How do I do that then? Where is the user space? I always try to put it in my sandbox or whatever but then I can never get the name changed so that's why I move it because it gives me the option to change the name. --Matt723star (talk) 18:16, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It's the renaming without anyone agreeing to the restoration that causes the problem. Create it in your sandbox and leave it there. Fix it there. When you think it's fixed, leave a message at User talk:Kww and, if I agree it's ready, I'll help you with the process of getting people to agree that it should be an article again.

Alright it's back up in my user space. Now I need help. --Matt723star (talk) 02:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, never mind. I've decided to delete this profile and use my other name "barbiesarelegit". --Matt723star (talk) 02:20, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how to delete this page just yet, but I will, so if anyone wants to help me make a legit page for TMPGiS please go to barbiesarelegit and finally it can become a successful legit page! --Matt723star (talk) 02:25, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The syntax glitches are easy to fix, but the sources are still pretty dubious. You need to find a couple of sources that are normally considered important: Entertainment Weekly, a couple of major newspapers, something like that.—Kww(talk) 22:55, 10 February 2013 (UTC) I'll get on that but could you help with the glitches? --Matt723star (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Oh really? What gave you the idea that I was a singular purpose? You mustn't have seen my contributions to other pages that I've included in the past few weeks waiting for my page to be created. You know what though, at this point I don't care, I followed the rules, I created a page and it got accepted, and now it's gone. I gave it references, I had the creators look at it and they even approved of what I did. --Matt723star (talk) 15:19, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your contributions. These are outweighed hundreds to one by your edits to the deleted article. Did you tell the AfC people it was a previously deleted article? I see no evidence of this. Guy (Help!) 15:23, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I emailed someone from the Contact Us, and I said that it got deleted before and that I was afraid it would be again because I wanted to move it because in the title there was a random 2 that didn't belong there, and they said it should be fine. --Matt723star (talk) 15:29, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In other words, you didn't tell the AfC people it had already been deleted. OTRS email volunteers make no judgment on content, we just tell you how to raise it on wiki. An email is never approval. I know this because I am also an email response volunteer. Guy (Help!) 16:13, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I messaged you on your page because I thought you were gone. How can I get it back then? --Matt723star (talk) 16:14, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Step 1: spend a while making significant edits to other subjects, to show that you're not only interested in promoting this. Step 2: Go to

deletion review and explain what has changed to make the subject notable in the period since January. Oh, and bring better sources. Much better. Really much much better. Guy (Help!) 16:18, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply

I would also like to point out that talk page posts (which is where the user seems to be editing almost exclusively) is not really contributing. Nymf talk to me 18:27, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are all Wikipedia heads as rude as you? --Matt723star (talk) 18:41, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Not my intention to be rude. I was just making sure that you understood what significant edits really meant. Nymf _{talk to me} 19:00, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Be honest with me for a moment, Nymf, did you delete my page because it didn't have the rightful resources, or because I had to move it due to there being a two in the title? Because I followed all regulations in creating my first page, yet it was deleted when I moved it, even with all the sourcing I did, and even had the creators of the show backing me up. --Matt723star (talk) 19:29, 22 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mitchell Ryan, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Gothic (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Hello Matt723star, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to The Most Popular Girls in School has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is
  Wikipedia:Copy-paste
  .
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — TAnthony^Talk 00:07, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please also see my response to you at Talk:The Most Popular Girls in School. Wikipedia is a much more controlled environment than other wikis, which may explain why you had trouble previously with the deleted MPGIS article. As you can see, I recently recreated the article within WP's format and content guidelines, and added citations, which are essential. I'd be happy to guide you moving forward with editing this article and others. Thanks.— TAnthony^Talk 00:13, 15 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Matt723star, I'm afraid we have a problem here. It seems clear that you haven't read the

I'm also troubled by the other review you started today,

I'm going to tag your West Coast review for deletion, since it cannot proceed. Besides, your nomination can't find a valid reviewer who can work on your nomination as long as your review page is there; I'll get it back in the nominations pool with its seniority intact. Best of luck going forward. And, if I may make a suggestion, start slow in the GA space until you learn the ropes. It helps avoid the sorts of issues that have hung you up today. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:11, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I'm sorry. It's true I didn't quite study up on the criteria, I assumed it was like a discussion page where you write something and it build's off of there. My apologies, I didn't mean to cause any foul ups, but if it's all the same I do believe West Coast to be a great candidate for being a FA. --Matt723star (talk) 05:39, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, now that you know. Someone will be along in due course to start a review; please be sure you're ready when that happens so that when issues arise during the review—there's always something—you'll be available to do any necessary fixes. Should I also undo your creation of the Kardashian review, since it does need someone to do the complete review? You're always welcome to add a comment once a new reviewer comes along and starts a new review page. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:57, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yes please, the Kardashian review was done in the same vein. Please and thank you for understanding. --Matt723star (talk) 04:42, 10 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what's going to happen, but articles nominated by editors who have little or no editing history in the article are normally rejected. This is what happened when Carol was first nominated for GA. I was going to nominate it for FA but you beat me to the punch by one hour. However, I added the comment I wrote for nomination.

P.S. You forgot to follow all the procedures for nominating an article, therefore I added it to the nominations list and added the FAC template in its talk page. Pyxis Solitary talk 05:30, 24 October 2017 (UTC); edited 12:14, 28 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
