== Rabatment ==

I put your new article [[rabatment of the rectangle]] into the hopper at "[[T:TDYK|Did you know?]]", FYI. In a few weeks or so, a brief hook about the article will appear on the [[Main page]]. Cheers! [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 20:03, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

: Cool, thanks! I somehow got obsessed about all of this, so it's nice to see it providing a wider benefit to other people. [[User:Mattdm|Matthew Miller]] ([[User talk:Mattdm#top|talk]]) 21:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

::Yeah, "somehow got obsessed"... the mark of a true Wikipedian! :D

== Andromeda Strain ==

I concur with your post in Andromeda Strain Talk that mutations do not work that way, and tried to insert a section in the article for Plot Criticisms.  Someone undid my edit.  Do you think it was a reasonable edit?

:Well, I think it's an important point, but to meet wikipedia guidelines we should find a notable critic who makes it. [[User:Mattdm|Matthew Miller]] ([[User talk:Mattdm#top|talk]]) 18:04, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

== Off-wiki canvassing ==

{{ping|Mattdm}} since your Wikipedia user page links to [http://mattdm.org/ your personal website,] which identifies you as Fedora Project Leader and in turn links to [https://twitter.com/mattdm your Twitter account,] I presume that my responding here to a tweet today from said account does not violate [[WP:OUTING]]. 
{{tweet|block=yes|right|text=Call for friendly but safely neutral and un-affiliated help: the wikipedia page The Fedora Project could really use some updating. We have new vision and mission statements, and the 'history' section is missing A LOT of history. |date=May 6, 2020 |name=mattdm |username=mattdm |id=1258076372314046465 |access-date=May 6, 2020 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.fo/1R6sk |archive-date=May 6, 2020}}

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AThe_Fedora_Project&type=revision&diff=750756402&oldid=687521162 As you acknowledged in November 2016,] {{tq|"as current Fedora Project Leader, I have a significant conflict of interest."}} I commend you for disclosing your COI, for refraining from editing the article space, and for constructive use of the talk page back then [[Talk:The_Fedora_Project#Significant_update_requested|to request updates]].

However, your tweet today verges on [[WP:STEALTH|stealth canvassing]]—using off-wiki communication to recruit editors in a way that is discouraged by our [[Wikipedia:Canvassing|applicable guideline]].

In my opinion, it would be better for you to repeat the process you followed in 2016. List the desired changes and references to support them at [[Talk:The Fedora Project]], and wait for interested editors to respond without off-wiki prompting. [[User:NedFausa|NedFausa]] ([[User talk:NedFausa|talk]]) 18:07, 6 May 2020 (UTC)
{{Reflist-talk}}

: Thanks for letting me know that this might be seen as problematic. I'm certainly not trying to do anything "stealth". I admit I'm not up on all of the jargon and culture of core wikipedia editors, but that page says "Canvassing is notification done with the intention of influencing the outcome of a discussion in a particular way". I am not aware of any ongoing discussion that I have any particular stake in the outcome of; I just wanted people to notice that the page is out of date and incomplete. I expect that anyone who might visit the talk page could ''already'' see that, which is why the 2016 notice there didn't really go anywhere. I'd love to hear better suggestions of something I can do to help with this. [[User:Mattdm|Matthew Miller]] ([[User talk:Mattdm#top|talk]]) 16:50, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits.
