RabbitEars article

Hi, I saw that you edited User:TripEricson/READS Ranks a couple of days ago, and so I thought that you might be interested in the fact that "we're" (meaning me, for the moment) developing it into an actual article about RabbitEars. Anything that you can do to help out would be appreciated. Thanks!
— V = I * R (talk to Ω) 22:25, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd be happy to copyedit and wikify the article, but the actual article writing itself? Sorry, I can't help you on that. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 00:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Userpage background

		The Excellent User Page Award
		Nice userpage you made! Could you help me make one? Thanks! RuneScape Adventure (talk) 02:06, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the award! What color would you like the background and the border color to be? —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 02:11, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Can I have the background red and the border black please? RuneScape Adventure (talk) 01:12, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Sure. Oh, and when you reply, add one more ":" to indent. So you should have added "::" to the beginning. I have done that for you. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 00:46, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

 Done —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 01:09, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

First Crusade work

		Thank you. When I get some time off (from Sixth Form) I shall help you raise the article to GA (if you're still interested by then!). Until then, here's the other half. MasterOfHisOwnDomain (talk) 12:09, 17 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. I am still interested in promoting First Crusade, FYI. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 03:52, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thank you for fixing the numbering on my userpage! I would have done it, but it was very low on my list of things to do... Again thanks!

Help me

{{helpme}} I received your message...I would like some help on The Epstein School wiki page. I have an image/picture of the school exterior with logo (250 pixels wide but I do graphic design work so I can make it whatever is needed) that I would like to upload and place in the infobox. It will notgive me permission to upload.

I would like to edit my info box to correct city to Sandy Springs...tried to do this in the html code but it did not work.

I have worked hard to make improvments, as I want this to be a high quality page that represents the educational community well. Any suggestions you have for enahncement would be great.

Thanks, clou2epstein

When you post, remember to sign with ~~~~. Also, add {{helpme}} to your own talk page, not mine. Ask your question there. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 17:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for helping me with the Epstein page MC10. I appreciate it! Clou2epstein (talk) 22:03, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome. You might want to see WP:WEL (welcome). For article creation, WP:YFA might be useful.

Some common policies: WP:NPOV, WP:NPA, WP:RS, WP:3RR, WP:BLP, WP:V, WP:OR, WP:BP, WP:VAND, and WP:NOT. The italicized links are important for article building. (If you don't read every word of every one of these pages, it's okay.) —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 23:21, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for your cooperation! I appreciate it! RuneScape Adventure (talk) 00:35, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello I saw your name as a contributor to WP:MOTD. The project is currently slowing down, and it would be greatly appreciated if you would add or review a nomination. (Even one would be of great help) Thanks.--LAAFan^sign _review 01:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Help

How can you make your username so that when you touch the username and then press it, it goes on your user page and same thing as the talk page. RuneScape Adventure talk 17:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you tell me the directions on my talk page? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by RuneScape Adventure (talk • contribs) 17:55, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

What you do is pipe the links. See WP:PIPE. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 18:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

It's not working. Tell me the steps exactly on your or my talk page. RuneScape Adventure talk 18:12, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I put this on the new signature place and it say this when I saved it. Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags. This is what I wrote: RuneScape Adventure _Contribs

First of all, why do you have a <sup><span style="color:Goldenrod"> in the end? That's completely useless. I've removed it.

Secondly, your <span style="color:Electric Green(X11 green)"> should be <span style="color:Electric Green">.

Try fixing these. If you have more problems, ask me again. Please reply with one extra : before each line each time. So if you were to reply, you would add :::::. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 18:31, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

How do you get the talk thing? RuneScape Adventure talk 18:44, 27 September 2009 (UTC) I got this RuneScape Adventure. What else do i do? RuneScape Adventure talk 19:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

It still says the same thing: Invalid raw signature. Check HTML tags.

What are you talking about? And your signature is still wrong; your links should be User:RuneScape Adventure and User talk:RuneScape Adventure, not what you're doing right now. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 19:43, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

Can you edit it on my sandbox? RuneScape Adventure talk 22:00, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

I think you've fixed it yourself. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 01:42, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hi MC10! How can you do the thing that when you highlight it, it shows the article and what is changed. thanks. Madden NFL 21 (talk) 01:30, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about? Popups only show the article itself, not what is changed. For change, see the history. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 02:27, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi!

Hi! Go to http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/User:MC10 . Then, how can I get the picture with the icon below the "Today's Motto of the Day" thing? I just need the userpage, talk page, sandbox, awards, guestbooks, welcome, and contributions? You can tell me where to get the icon from somewhere else ,but I need the words that go to the place I want it to go? Do you use the WP:PIPE ? Also give me a note so I know you responded. Thanks! RuneScape Adventure 01:33, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

What? Could you please clarify? I see a lot of pictures underneath the MOTD. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 01:41, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

No I mean below your userpage's MOTD. All of them the ones I listed is the ones I want on my userpage and I might use your pictures too. Can you give me the link that shows all the pictures? Thanks! Also you can't move h3 cause your in CHECK! RuneScape Adventure 02:24, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't give them to you, as you would impersonate my userpage, and I wouldn't want that. In addition, I'd like to keep my userpage different from others. So no. (By the way, I changed my move in the chess game. Just so you know...) —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 17:56, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. I thought this might be an encyclopedia, but some pages are clearly just a ridiculous list, and a very long list, of fan sites and the rest. 91.106.122.220 (talk) 23:34, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I agree. I hadn't looked at the diff carefully before reverting. I've undid my reversion. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 00:54, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

What the hell?

You were a good user. Why sock and ruin everything?— Dædαlus ^Contribs 10:34, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't. Because I have two brothers that also use Wikipedia, they sock and ruin everything for me, as we use the same IP address. See this version of my userpage for some of the accounts that I found they used. They are the second to last and last bullet lists. As you can see, one of them actually has a long list of socks. I'm appealing the block in a new section. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 14:48, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Unblock request

(Removed original unblock request)

I actually know MC10 in real life, and I can confirm that he has two smaller brothers, Alasto Light/RuneScape Adventure and Madden NFL 21 who like to cause trouble. Apparently, MC10's parents wanted him to stop spending so much time on Wikipedia, and Alasto Light knew about IP blocks so started vandalizing. MC10 is not the sockpuppeteer of these accounts. -download ׀ sign! 15:46, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I have asked User:Brandon to comment here since he was the checkuser and blocking admin on this. This unblock request is placed on hold until he can comment. either way (talk) 15:51, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I really don't think you should be the reviewing administrator on this incident as you have a long history of following MC10's edits and may not have a neutral point of view. -download ׀ sign! 15:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm not the reviewing admin. I'm putting it on hold to give Brandon the opportunity to comment. Since this is a checkuser case, the checkuser should be the one to review/comment on this. either way (talk) 16:02, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Just so you know: See User talk:RuneScape Adventure#Unblock Request for his view on events. (I personally think he said something on edit summaries and warnings because I did, but whatever.) He's wrong about one big point—the sockpuppets are his. All of "User:Wikisodia, User:Samen1234567890, User:HaloGod144424, and ... User:Alasto Light" are his, not Madden NFL 21's. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 18:35, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Because it seems like Brandon isn't going to be online anytime soon, I'm reposting the unblock request. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 01:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

{{unblock|1=I'd like to say a few words about this block. <br> First, most of the accounts listed under [[:Category:Wikipedia sockpuppets of MC10]] are not mine. [[User:MC10 Chess|MC10 Chess]], [[User:MathCoolBot|MathCoolBot]], [[User:RaNdOm aCcOuNtS|RaNdOm aCcOuNtS]] are mine; the others are not. None of these have I used for disruptive purposes. (About the bot account, I've discontinued using it for now until I can use it for a reasonable semi-automated process.) <br> Secondly, please see [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=User:MC10&oldid=318988849#People_I_Know this version of my userpage]. Under the "People I Know" section, none of the accounts, besides MC10, are mine. In fact, you can see my brothers' accounts that I had found as the last two bullet lists—I will discuss this in more detail in the paragraph below. My accounts are listed under the "Doppelganger" and "Alternate" accounts. I have not disrupted Wikipedia using any of these accounts. <br> If you still have any thoughts about whether I'm just trying to get unblocked or not (which I would, in your case), consider this: See the editing histories of the master accounts of my brothers—[[User:RuneScape Adventure|RuneScape Adventure]] (formerly [[User:Alasto Light|Alasto Light]], who admits to being my brother on J.delanoy's talk—see Alasto's contribs) and [[User:Madden NFL 21|Madden NFL 21]]. We don't have similar editing patterns, besides that we all revert. I've (somewhat) taught [[User:RuneScape Adventure|RuneScape Adventure]] how to revert, and he had rollback. [[User:Madden NFL 21|Madden NFL 21]], on the other hand, seeing that [[User:RuneScape Adventure|RuneScape Adventure]] and I both can use Huggle, tries to revert, but fails to do so well, and gets warned. He refuses to listen to warnings and continues to revert. However, both [[User:RuneScape Adventure|RuneScape Adventure]] and I do listen to warnings. But [[User:RuneScape Adventure|RuneScape Adventure]] does not edit the same topics as I do, though I look over his edits. None of my two brothers consistantly use edit summaries, while I do. <br> I cannot disprove the [[Wikipedia:CheckUser|CheckUser]] data because my brothers and I share an IP address, but I hope you consider this unblock request and my past editing history, and make your decision then. If you still have any questions, please feel free to ask me. Please also see the comments above this unblock notice. <br> Thank you. <span class="plainlinks">—'''[[User:MC10|<span style="color:#9370DB;">MC10</span>]] <small><span style="color:#4169E1">([[User talk:MC10#top|T]]•[[Special:Contributions/MC10|C]]•[[User:MC10/Guestbook|GB]]•[http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=MC10 L]•[[Special:EmailUser/MC10|EM]])</span></small>'''</span> 01:52, 13 October 2009 (UTC)}}

I've asked another checkuser to have a look. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 13:39, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

There's not really a lot I can say here in this case. MC10 claims that the other accounts are his brothers. CheckUser cannot see who is at a computer using it, and if what MC10 is saying is true, there is no way I can verify that. From a technical standpoint, I would say that these accounts are unquestionably  Confirmed to be the same person. I guess I should clarify that to say that they are confirmed to be editing from the same computer or computers. For what it is worth, MC10 complained about his brother(s) in the past, so he didn't just make this up. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 16:02, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

How about this? Keep the IP block active but give this account an unblock and an IP block exception. If he's telling the truth that should resolve the problem. Durova³²⁵ 16:03, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

MC10, is it correct that one of your brothers edits productively? If so, let's straighten out which account is used by the productive brother and give both of you and IP block exception. Strongly recommend you both be very careful about password security. Durova³²⁵ 16:09, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Endorse Durova's suggestion. –xeno^talk 16:11, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Concur - That seems quite reasonable. UltraExactZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 17:16, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I wasn't here during the conversation. Which would be the constructive one: the one who socks, but did well with a clean account, or the one who just randomly reverts? —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 23:20, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Also, could you unblock MC10 Chess (talk · contribs) and MathCoolBot (talk · contribs)? It would be appreciated. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 23:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I have unblocked these accounts as well as RuneScape Adventure (talk · contribs), and granted them all exemptions so that they can actually edit. Please be sure to keep the accounts away from your youngest brother. — Jake Wartenberg 23:50, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Best wishes

Just keep the brother who hasn't listened to feedback off Wikipedia, and the other two of you should be fine. Best wishes. Durova³²⁵ 23:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 01:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Adoption

Can you adopt me because I am still learning how to edit wikipedia and still needs lot of help! Thanks! RuneScape Adventure ^Sign! 02:10, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I'm quite busy. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 02:39, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hi MC10...just a reminder on minor edits. Please A. mark them as minor and B. try to make them in one edit rather than spread across 10+ edits. At First Crusade, for example, you made almost 40 edits where you changed p. to pp. and removed spaces, and did each one in an individual edit. You could have accomplished these all in just a few edits. Using "show preview" would help this as well.

Additionally, your conversions from p. to pp. are wrong as far as I can see. p. is for a single page in a reference. pp. is when you're citing several pages. So p. would be "p. 7" and pp. would be "pp. 7-10." Let me know if you have any questions, either way (talk) 20:33, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the mistake. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 23:41, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
