Right from the start it extols the virtues of the [[Tom and Jerry (drink)|hot Tom and Jerry]]

<blockquote>This hot Tom and Jerry is an old-time drink that is once used by one and all in this country to celebrate Christmas with, and in fact it is once so popular that many people think Christmas is invented only to furnish an excuse for hot Tom and Jerry, although of course this is by no means true.</blockquote>

No matter what concoction is your favorite to imbibe during this festive season I would like to toast you with it and to thank you for all your work here at the 'pedia this past year.

== Maybe "No thank you" instead of deleting solicited and referenced advice? ==

I used to think you were a polite fellow Canadian, or at least somewhat tolerant of other people's opinions. But after what you did at the Humanities desk, I'm not so sure. Deleting stuff from your own user page is one thing, but deleting another user's contributions from a forum where you openly asked anyone for help is messed up. I won't point you to the rule about it or ask you to restore my friendly thoughtful tips, you're no noob, you get it. But if someone else (not me) wastes time answering a vague question of yours later, ''consider'' declining or asking for clarification instead of burning it all like a scared, confused and/or ingrateful New Yorker, eh? [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 22:19, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
:There was nothing about your replies that was helpful in the slightest. I have all the patience in the world for folks who earnestly try to help, even if they end up missing the mark. But what purpose did your comments serve? Nothing. They weren't even jokes. Just random thoughts you decided to clutter my question with. And now you come here to call me "scared, confused, and/or ingrateful (sic)", none of which makes any sense whatsoever. I'm in no way afraid of your nonsense or confused by it and suggesting I should be grateful for it is absurd. [[User:Matt Deres|Matt Deres]] ([[User talk:Matt Deres#top|talk]]) 16:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
::OK, I shouldn't have offered "scared" as a possibility, and should have spelled "ingrateful" with a U. Sorry. I stand by "confused", though, since you admit missing ''all'' the points of my earnest tries to help. Anyway, from the sounds of it, there really is no point getting into the details, some ideas and some people just don't click, regardless of patience or effort. The important thing is we're still both Canadians. Cheers to tomorrow night, however you'd spend it! [[User:InedibleHulk|InedibleHulk]] ([[User talk:InedibleHulk|talk]]) 03:18, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
:::Thank you, and the same (belatedly). Sorry, I've been offline for some time. I suppose it surprises no one that two Canucks can talk amicably even in times of stress. In that same spirit of amicability, I'd like to see if we can figure out where we went amiss. My [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Humanities&diff=prev&oldid=963482280 question] was about finding a resource that acted as an overview of popular illustration (artists, schools of thought, etc.). Sluzzelin's response was exactly the kind of thing I wanted (albeit pricey), so I think I must have been fairly clear about what I intended. Your first suggestion was ''[[Paradise Lost]]'', which is an epic poem. It's certainly ''been'' illustrated, most notably by William Blake, but it's still just a single book. As were the other suggestions you made and therein lies the problem. It would be like me asking for information about the layout of the periodic table of the elements and you suggesting I read up on iron. Yes, I could read up on iron and then try to formulate something myself, but it would be completely the long way around. I needed an overview. Probably a textbook. I'm stuck on why you thought adding more examples of specifics were going to be helpful. While the examples I gave are famous enough in their own right, surely someone who knows of Aubrey Beardley already has the capability of looking up further artists or books one by one?

:Your [[User:Agihard|Agihard]] account didn't edit that article; the IP [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Helsinki_Cathedral&type=revision&diff=984049704&oldid=969948285 172.58.139.51] did.

Hello Matt Deres, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I deleted [[:User:Semendemon 1/sandbox]], a page you tagged for speedy deletion, under a different criterion from the one you provided. The speedy deletion criteria are extremely narrow and specific, and the process is more effective if the correct criterion is used. You may wish to review the [[WP:CSD{{!}}Criteria for Speedy Deletion]] before tagging further pages. Thank you.

:[[User:Ivanvector|Ivanvector]] - thanks for the heads up. I had considered that, but the content itself didn't seem problematic, so flagging it as vandalism didn't seem appropriate. [[User:Matt Deres|Matt Deres]] ([[User talk:Matt Deres#top|talk]]) 21:59, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
::No worries. You tagged the page for deletion under speedy criterion [[WP:U2|U2]], which is for subpages of users that don't exist, but this user does exist, so this didn't quite fit that criterion.

== You clearly made a mistake ==

You have clearly made a mistake deleting my edit. Circular economy completely plagiarised the work by Prof Robert Ayres - look up his book https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/Industrial-Ecology-by-Robert-U-Ayres-Leslie-Ayres-Paolo-Frankl/9781858983974 and Thomas Graedel https://www.amazon.co.uk/Industrial-Ecology-Prentice-International-Systems/dp/0130467138 . It’s is astonishing how unqualified opportunists are stealing and commercialising the ideas of scientists who are never acknowledged. I will give you another name: Prof Ernst Von Weizsacker. The article about circular economy is written like a commercial, pushing this idea for commercial gain. It is utterly ridiculous.

thanks for asking me a good question on this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Entertainment#a_question_to_some_people [[Special:Contributions/2A02:8084:EA4:2B80:C503:E154:6B31:A8EC|2A02:8084:EA4:2B80:C503:E154:6B31:A8EC]] ([[User talk:2A02:8084:EA4:2B80:C503:E154:6B31:A8EC|talk]]) 21:23, 27 April 2024 (UTC)
==[[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Speedy deletion]] nomination of [[:They slash them]]==
[[File:Ambox warning pn.svg|48px|left|alt=|link=]]

A tag has been placed on [[:They slash them]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#R3|section R3 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because it is a recently created redirect from an implausible typo or misnomer, or other unlikely search term. 

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may '''contest the nomination''' by [[:They slash them|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:List of policies|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]. <!-- Template:Db-redirtypo-notice --><!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]]</span><sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 20:31, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

Assault Description- media speculation being used to form inaccurate version of events [[Special:Contributions/51.191.19.74|51.191.19.74]] ([[User talk:51.191.19.74|talk]]) 20:14, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

:please remove media speculation from the subject. The facts are clear: 
:A charge of common assault in 2006. 
:11 day custodial sentence in a YOI served  
:McMurdock pled guilty and admitted the incident on first ask  
:Ben obese jecty based his remarks on media speculation 
:sky interview was a gotcha and led with assumptive questioning which Mcmurdock denied. 
:The full version of events here is grossly irresponsible and frankly false [[Special:Contributions/51.191.19.74|51.191.19.74]] ([[User talk:51.191.19.74|talk]]) 20:18, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

{{Edit COI|A}}
I'm not sure how this works, but I just wanted to thank Matt Deres for showing my class how quickly "revisions" to a Wiki page can be corrected. I was teaching a lesson on academic credibility, added "This is an example sentence of academic credibility, check your sources." to a page as a demonstration, and Deres remedied the edit within minutes. This made for an excellent teachable moment, I apologise for any inconvenience that may have caused. [[Special:Contributions/2607:FEA8:3F89:3E00:1039:D817:3D29:1FB3|2607:FEA8:3F89:3E00:1039:D817:3D29:1FB3]] ([[User talk:2607:FEA8:3F89:3E00:1039:D817:3D29:1FB3|talk]]) 02:28, 9 March 2025 (UTC)
:To implement this COI request, I would also like to thank Matt Deres for the work he does and his dedication to antivandalism. It's much appreciated! [[User:GreenLipstickLesbian|GreenLipstickLesbian]] ([[User talk:GreenLipstickLesbian|talk]]) 23:18, 12 March 2025 (UTC)
::Thank you kindly, but I'm not sure why this got flagged as a COI request. My user page is semi-protected due to persistent vandalism, but my talk page is open. Weird. Anyway - happy to help! [[User:Matt Deres|Matt Deres]] ([[User talk:Matt Deres#top|talk]]) 00:18, 13 March 2025 (UTC)

Hi Matt, Sorry to bother you. [[User talk:12.70.235.226|12.70.235.226]] has decided to vandalize [[Yael Arad]] again. You issued the IP User a final warning. What should be done next? [[Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism|WP:AIV]] Best, [[User:CF-501 Falcon|'''''CF-501''''' Falcon]] ([[User talk:CF-501 Falcon|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/CF-501_Falcon|contribs]]) 20:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

:IMO, yes, but the old warnings would be considered "stale" now. So, I gave them another "final" warning. If they vandalize an article again in the next day or two, go ahead and report them. [[User:Matt Deres|Matt Deres]] ([[User talk:Matt Deres#top|talk]]) 20:18, 26 March 2025 (UTC)
