wikipedia ad on your user page

The ad is out of date. Vandal Proof no longer exists. It has been replaced by Huggle. Griffinofwales (talk) 19:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, I'm too lazy to change the ad, as it wasn't made by me. MathCool10 Sign here! 00:19, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

{{archive box}}

{{Adminhelp}}

The {{archive box}} is creating a lot of space on my talk page. Can an admin fix this since {{archive box}} is protected? (It uses {{archives}}.) Note that I use {{archivebox}} on my Archive. MathCool10 Sign here! 00:30, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

You could try asking at the template talk page. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshellsOtter chirpsHELP) 01:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi MathCool: I can't quite figure out how you would like this template changed to fix your problem. Can you describe on the template's talk page what you would like done? That would help me see what I can do for you. Thanks, -CapitalR (talk) 07:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
It's not a problem with {{archives}}; I've confirmed this by substituting your archive box directly onto this page, which makes the gap disappear. It's a problem with all the <noinclude>d tables on the sub-page. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:57, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
OK, I'll try to fix this. MathCool10 :  Chat  23:13, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
There, fixed. MathCool10 :  Chat  23:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Improper Use of AWB

Hi there, looking at your contributions, almost all of your recent AWB edits are against the rules of use. These edits are useless, and take up server space. If you continue making edits like these, you could have your access revoked. You could consider doing typo fixing work as an alternative. Best, -download | sign! 04:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

I do do typo work, along with normal fixes. And I'll try to fix my edits so they don't make invalid edits. MathCool10 Sign here! 21:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
And also, they said to avoid, not to completely not do. MathCool10 Sign here! 00:03, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
While I respect your efforts at improving Wikipedia, you may not make minor general fixes as a single edit. Feel free to do general fixes, however. -download | sign! 00:45, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Bot status

{{helpme}}

To gain bot status, can I do so per this account MathCool10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log), or do I have to do so per a bot account with Bot ending it (such as MathCoolBot)? MathCool10 Sign here! 00:02, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

You can put any username for a bot, as long as it ends with a "bot". -Porchcrop (talk|contributions) 00:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
To use a bot, you must go through a process to get approval. This is because bots can make lots of edits very quickly, and can cause a lot of problems if they go wrong. It is all explained in WP:BOT. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  00:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Please also keep in mind that the bot must also make constructive edits. This does not include the moving of categories, the removal of whitespace, etc. -download | sign! 00:48, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
How do I apply for one? I have MathCoolBot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) ready to become a bot. MathCool10 Sign here! 04:56, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
What kind of tasks do you plan on performing with this bot? --Closedmouth (talk) 05:06, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
AutoWikiBrowser general fixes, but with the "bot" permission so 1) doesn't clog up this account's contributions and 2) speeds up the process of AWB. MathCool10 Sign here! 05:12, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
No, please don't do that. Read the AWB Rules of use. Making only general fix edits using AWB can get your access revoked. Unless you plan on doing something useful with the bot, please don't make edits with it. --Closedmouth (talk) 05:17, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

{{TOCleft}}

What's the problem with {{TOCleft}} in the article on Igor Panarin? It looks nice here :) Лъчезар (talk) 18:54, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

I feel like the text squished between the {{TOCleft}} and the image looks awkward. MathCool10 Sign here! 20:58, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
Yes, that's a questions of taste. Some readers may agree with you. I dislike any "holes" in text but won't impose my taste :) Лъчезар (talk) 05:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Why does the "You have new messages" bar's links not work/break on the Main Page? MathCool10 Sign here! 03:47, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I asked another editor, and they said they think it is because of the forced placement of the "Welcome to Wikipedia" thingy at the top of the page. Killiondude (talk) 05:48, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Why is there no log entries for the semi-protection of the template Template:GeoTemplate? (See the edit screen for more info) MathCool10 Sign here! 23:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm really busy right now with my current coachees and I actually have a short waiting list for coachees. I would suggest that you read over WP:ARL in the full, and start making a footprint in areas you would like to work as an administrator. I truly am too busy to coach you now, but if a spot opens up in the future I'll be sure to contact you. Malinaccier (talk) 14:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Re [2]. The reason I reverted your edits is because the color is to remain white, not green, as he is redesigning his userpage with a white background. I tried to tell you this in my edit summary. Also, just because I edited your userpage does not mean you can use that as an argument. My edits were uncontroversial while color changes are.

I only saw 4 vandalism edits (first 3 plus another one later). He was trying to improve his behavior. MC10 | Sign here! 04:22, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
You cannot be serious, the whole paragraph he originally added to Spotify was obvious vandalism, which he then tweaked, I reverted it, he added it back and tweaked the nonsense some more, and reverted it again. Please read the diffs, no indication of an intention to contribute constructively. – ukexpat (talk) 04:25, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
This diff and this diff show that he tries to edit constructively. MC10 | Sign here! 04:27, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
They were on top of and part of his original vandalism, how is that constructive? Now, if he had deleted his original nonsense, that would have been constructive. – ukexpat (talk) 04:29, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
So reverting your own vandalism is constructive, but reverting someone else's isn't? The edits weren't part of his original vandalism, even though it was on the same page. He probably got bored of adding the material over and over and stopped doing so. 4 vandalism edits shouldn't equal indef. block. MC10 | Sign here! 04:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
I give up, at least Jayron saw this guy for the vandal that he is. If he thinks it's unfair he can ask to be unblocked. – ukexpat (talk) 04:37, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

As I said, I'm redesigning it. In the history there are some things that I don't want to be seen, and deletion is faster than oversight. (Such as past history) MC10 | Sign here! 03:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
