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The ad is out of date.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 It has been replaced by Huggle.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)

{{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. Math Cool 10 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)

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, - down load | 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. Math Cool 10 Sign here! 21:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
And also, they said to avoid, not to completely not do. Math Cool 10 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. - down load | 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)? Math Cool 10 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. - down load | 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. Math Cool 10 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. Math Cool 10 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)

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. M C 10 |  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. M C 10 |  Sign here! 04:33, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

NPWatcher

Hi, MC10. I have granted you NPWatcher per your request here. After looking over a few of your contributions, your talk page, and your block log, I feel you can be trusted with the tool. If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. – Juliancolton |  Talk 13:36, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
