Talk:Matt Thiessen

message: This is a good article, however I would prefer someone add more information. --Scotteh 11:06, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The other band member articles need more information too. Some moderators don't let you add certain information though. They ask you to fill it out, and then they go and delete what you add. Still, this one does need more info. RoryS89 22:39, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Good Article

message: I just call him "Matt-T" (Matty)
Is information about nicknames some fans have for Matt really worthy of mention on Wikipedia?  I mean, I could call him "Love Muffin" or "SpongeBob" if I wanted to, but that obviously isn't something that should be mentioned on here.  I know those examples were a bit extreme, but I was simply trying to make a point.  What does everyone else think?  --Mears man 04:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Matty T" 

message: There's a sentence in the article regarding Thiessen's extended family, which reads "Matt's extended family consists of his aunt, Nettie Thiessen, and her daughters, Bev, Bonnie, and Lynn."  It seems have almost been randomly thrown into the article.  Should this be removed, or possibly just moved to a different part of the article?  There seem to be several other things that were just haphazardly thrown into the article, and they probably need to be addressed as well, but this one stuck out to me for some reason.  --Mears man 02:39, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Extended Family?

message: Does anyone know anything about Matt Thiessen's current relationship status, whether he be single, in a relationship, engaged, or married?  This is something I've been trying to find some reliable information on for some time now, but I've yet to find a consistent answer to this question. —Mears man 17:44, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Relationship Status

message: Is the following passage really necessary?   
   
:Thiessen said of the song "Wake Up Call," "At one point in my life, I was about 15 years old, God started, really tugging on my heartstrings... I was in a band at the time. It was actually a Nirvana, Filter, Marilyn Manson cover band. It was pretty funny. We called ourselves 'Social Distortion'... Jesus just gave me that wake up call, and said, 'Start writing music for me.' And so, I did... If you're on your butt, get off it. Start living for Jesus."   
   
I mean, yes, it is a good quote, but it really doesn't present any information that isn't provided in the sentence before it, and it's a bit wordy. Seeing as the article needs clean-up as it is, I think it might be best to remove the quote itself and simply add any pertinent information to the sentence before it. Any other thoughts? —Mears man 00:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and the article already discusses that, but this quote was put at the end of the sentences discussing that, and I felt that it was just taking up space without providing any new information, and the article has been tagged as needing clean-up, so that's why I went ahead and removed it. —Mears man 20:46, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Social Distortion

message: If Matt can play the drums how come they had a seperate drummer and how come he never plays it I'd like to see some proof.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.29.160.8 (talk) 19:13, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  There are a lot of instruments listed, yet the entire thing is completely unsourced.  I say that if we can't find a source stating that the can play these instruments, then we should probably remove everything that he isn't credited as playing on the albums themselves. —Mears man (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not sure why vocals is listed as an instrument, that should probably be removed.  As for those instruments, did you get that from any particular source (a website you could link to, perhaps?), or are those just the ones you know he can play?  From seeing him in concert I too know that he can play those instruments (well, to be completely honest I'm not sure if he played the bells or vibraphone when I saw him, it may have been another one of the band members) but if you got that from any particular source we could cite that would really help. —Mears man (talk) 23:20, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Drums

message: In the acts section why doesn't it say anything about that project that did the song "silly shoes"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.119.78.70 (talk) 22:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose I could be wrong, but I was always under the impression that it was Relient K that performed that song. —Mears man (talk) 03:40, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  that picture of matt thiessen and his guitar 

message: Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes doesn't really deserve it's own article.  There is really nothing notable about the project that justifies an additional page.  I'm going to work on cleaning up this page, and start incorporating the information from the Earthquakes article into this one, and then we can take it down (unless we seem to have a consensus against it). —Akrabbimtalk 12:53, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. —Akrabbimtalk 14:49, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge [[Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes]] 

message: I removed the lists for all of Thiessen's collaborations and his solo project songs and copied them to my sandbox for safekeeping.  I don't think they belong in the article in the condition they are in.  At some point a discography section or something will be necessary, and they can be included in some form there. —Akrabbimtalk 14:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that came together quicker than I thought.  I got it back in there in the form of a table. —Akrabbimtalk 23:40, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lists of songs and collaborations 

message: While I've been working on this article, I've been removing stuff that is unsourced, and that I haven't been able to find where they came from.  Most of the Google searches I have used just come up with other websites that have copied this WP article.  However, some of this stuff may be useful to add to the article, so if anyone can find sources for them, that would be great. Also, if anyone can find the article that he had in Breakaway a few years ago, there's probably some good stuff in there also. —Akrabbimtalk 03:47, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for those sources.  I had done a quick search, but I didn't come up with anything so I removed it per WP:LIVE. —Akrabbimtalk 18:11, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

text: Do you have sources for all this? —Akrabbimtalk 04:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

text: I will be restoring it in its entirety. They draw no conclusions. "Murphy has talked openly on the air about how she broke off her engagement after finding out her ex-fiance cheated on her." No conclusions drawn. Plain statement. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 18:34, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  And....it's gone again. There are no definite conclusions as to why they broke up, so there's no reason to slander his name. Bam.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.157.26.162 (talk) 22:16, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  And it's back again. There are conclusions in the reference. Feel free to check the reference. There's no slander at all. The exact phrase is "Murphy has talked openly on the air about how she broke off her engagement after finding out her ex-fiance cheated on her," and can be found in the second reference. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 22:29, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unsourced statements 

message: Quote: "He (Matt Thiessen) also co-wrote "Good Time" with Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen."
Would just like to point out that Miss Jepsen had NO hand in actually writing the hit song, "Good Time."  You can look in the lyric sheet of any copy of Owl City's "Midsummer Station" and see it was written by Adam Young, Matt Thiessen, and Brian Lee.  To say Carly Rae had anything to do with the writing is false.  She just sang in it.  Adam has even stated this in an interview or two.  Even if this wasn't the intent when writing that part of this article, I would recommend re-wording that one part so it doesn't deceive people. -RhettGedies  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RhettGedies (talk • contribs) 21:07, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
