User talk:Hurston

Grr...
How the >>>> do I check my edit count? I've been trying for ages but I can't find it -.- Thanks,

thanks
thanks for unblocking me. i go to the same school as jam08jam, but he left a few months ago and i am not a vandal. i hate them and will do anything to stop them. Thanks agian. Live2kill26

Im bored and I saw your userpage
Can I have some cheesecake too, I'm bored of training Attack. Nice stats by the way. . P.S: Sorry its late but gratz on User of the Month.

IP block
Unfair block on IP address 82.71.216.91. We are not all vandals here, especially not myself and LIve2kill26. We are a school and it is obvious that we will have vandals. Please unblock the IP so that non-vandals such as myself and Live2kill26 can continue to edit the wiki in a safe way.

Thats great, thanks for unblocking him. Sorry to persist but could you maybe unblock Liive2kill26 (they are twins with separate accounts, note the 2 "i"s please). I know of the user Jam08jam, but he left the school a few months ago. No more vandalism from him from this IP.

Regards and thank you,

Sorry about the Liive2kill26 thing. Must have been a computer glitch which stopped him from editing. Once again I can assure you that there will be no more vandalism from the likes of Jam08jam and Poo Man.

See you,

I recently read my talkpage and saw that you thought it was unwise to unblock the IP.As we are a school and bound to have vandals, I agree with that decision. Just don't allow any more users except the ones already unblocked, or there will probably be more vandalism. Keep it to me and the Li(i)ve2kill26 twins.

P.S: Is there any way you can stick it up to 2 years without blocking the users you unblocked, as that is the year that all the persistent vandals will be leaving.

Redirect Code
What is the code for redirecting? I looked at ranging pot and there was no redirect to ranging potion. So I was hoping you would help because I have few names in my mind.;) 11:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It's #REDIRECTarticle 12:17, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Hurston, I Went To Post And It Says I Have An Ip Block From "Unknown Warrior" Ok I Dont Know Who He Is, And I Never Made A Account On Here, Just Been Looking At The Great Things You've Done, Thanx. Unsigned IP
 * Is it ok now? 22:26, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Cheesecake
This may seem like a bit of a random question but I was looking at your user page and couldn't help but notice that you said you like cheesecake. What is your favorite kind of cheesecake? ^_^ 21:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably cherry cheesecake, mmmmm cheesecake :) 21:50, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Just thinking about that is making me hungry. :P 22:27, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Re: re: template_talk pages
I think this should be sent up as a problem report to wikia (staff et al). I was convinced you were just seeing them as left over from unpurged data, but it totally irritates me to no end to click a discussion link to find no-discussion at all, there *has* to be a way to correct this issue and it has to be inside the wikia software. 22:53, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've started a problem report at Special:ProblemReports/17455 and pushed it up to need wikia staff assistance level. Please feel free to clarify or add to anything i've put into the report, especially on its associated talk page. thanks 00:11, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Exchange: Saradomin Godsword
As per my apology, User talk:24.237.84.79, I misread the amount of zero's removed from the exchange price. Thanks for addressing my mistake. 10:31, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment - I do however after reviewing the article's history believe that is was still vandalism. If you read price per alchemy prior to his change you will notice that over te past several weeks, it has been consistent with my revert. Please look into it. 10:34, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - Nevermind. It appears the amount per alchemy has been wrong for some time and he was in fact correcting it. The bases behind my revert was that for this long period of time it was assumed correct so I assumed it was a vandal to remove the zeros as per stereotypical vandals. However I know now it is in fact what he editted it to be cause more prior the same value is shown. Confusing yes, wrong of me to assume no good faith(as per the account being an I.P. address and only removing zeros), therefore I remain in apology. Sorry. 10:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

ip block
Somehow, the very instant I archive my talk page after a year's absence, someone starts vandalizing using my same IP. I am so confused. Hyenaste 11:59, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As am I, do let me know if you find out what is going on... 12:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I assume it's just that my ISP has alotted us both that one address. Suspiciously coincidental that we share an IP and are visiting the same site at the same time. Hyenaste 12:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That is too much of a coincidence. It must be someone physically at your location. 12:05, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, this was a glitch with Wikia's servers, assigning an internal IP to many users. Sorry for the confusion! -- sannse (talk) 12:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I was just beginning to think this place had become haunted. Hyenaste 12:12, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Phew, I was getting really worried there too, glad that is sorted out. 12:21, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Ip Block?
Hi. I was about to edit a page when some message came up and said that my IP address is blocked. It said that some guy named "Unknown Warrior" used my IP address to vandalize the Wiki, and it said that I should talk to you. I find this rather...strange, because the only other person who uses this laptop is my sister, and she doesn't play RuneScape.

I do occasionally edit the Wiki with another laptop, if that information helps. Luckily the block is only for one more day. If you could help sort this out, it'd be great. :)

22:42, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Wait a second, this is messed up. The message seems to come randomly. Seeing as I edited your talk page when I'm apparently blocked, I clicked the Edit button on a random article and that message didn't come up. Then when I came back here, it said I was blocked. I went back to the article... blocked. Came back here... not blocked. o.O

22:50, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think you can edit talk pages when you are blocked, I'm trying to find out how to unblock you, but I can't work out how... 22:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It's weird, the message comes up randomly. Sometimes it blocks me from editing, sometimes it doesn't. Ah well, it's not too big of a problem I think... I'm not planning on editing today, I just wanted to talk to Dtm142 about something. And the blcok apparently expires tomorrow, so I can wait. Anyway, thanks for your offering to help me. :)  22:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I think I've got it now, try again. 23:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Looking forward to working with you
Hey, I don't think I got a chance to actually introduce myself besides asking you about cheesecake. :P Anyways, I just wanted say hi and that I look forward to working with you as a fellow admin. 22:44, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Soldier, good to have you here, you've been a big help with the vandals so far, so we hope to see a lot more of you. 22:47, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As long as there is cheesecake I will be here. ;) 22:49, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Telos
Telos was blocked because a vandal used the same IP Adress Telos has. I'm not sure, but is there any way to fix this? See W:C:ArtemisFowl:User talk:C Teng. 23:00, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Kudos seems to have been blocked from that IP glitch as well as Tien. 23:01, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There is a problem with Wikia and IP's, see Sanse's comment above. 23:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for unblocking me. It's annoying being punished for something you didn't do. :) Telos 23:09, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I've got rid of another autoblock, and I can't see any more (on this wiki at least). If there are any more problems, check out the Special:IPBlockList on the wiki involved. 23:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yea,I had this happen to me because my brother put vandalism on the mainpage and not only him that got blocked, I did too and i did nothing wrong and the worst thing was that i was autoblocked because of this. It also said that he uses the same ip adress as me but we edit from different computers so it couldnt be. 13:36, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Vandal
Excellent! I thought it was kinda odd how so many people kept editing the same page. Thanks. :) WWTDD? 14:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Deletion
Was just wondering why you deleted my page that I worked so hard to photograph and write because one instant i was going to get some coke and next minute my user page is deleted. Philipscrewdriver 09:01, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Clarifying some things
Hey Hurston, just wanted to clarify some doubts about the AGF policy. I'm sorta confused about when I should report and when I should not. I understand that obvious vandalism with offensive language, inappropriate content should be reported immediately. But what about the exchange prices? If the price of something is say, 5000 and an IP address (which is usually the case) comes along and adds a 0 to make it 50000, is that vandalism? I used to think so but then an admin did not block the IP address after I reported a similar case, so now I simply warn the IP address.

Just now on the Exchange:Bronze dagger page, an IP address changed the value to some astronomical figure. I simply warned him/her but you blocked the IP address so I figured you would know. SO I'm assuming I should have simply reported the vandal, right? (Correct me if I am wrong) Thanks. 13:07, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It can be complex. Some like the bronze dagger are obvious vandalism. There are cases where it is not :
 * 1) They have changed the price, to the correct price but missed out or added a 0. Looking at the runescape site can help you work out if they are vandlising by seeing if the root of the new price is correct. Equally they may be fixing previous vandalism, so adding or removing a 0 may be correct.
 * 2) They may change it to the max or the min price. Whilst not correct, they probably have good intentions, so don't block.
 * 3) They may be changing it to the more accurate price given when you actually look at the grand exchange, rather than the price on the runescape web page (or vice-versa), which is fine.
 * 4) Any change within the max-min range can be corrected, but is probably not vandalism.
 * I hope that helps. 13:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, yeah that cleared some questions in my mind. Btw, I thought that you would be replying on my talkpage, I did not know you replied until I saw the recent changes. 13:26, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Hey, the wiki fest is falling apart, but I'm glad your here to keep it while it's going on. Good Job. 00:05, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

removing bad trivia?
Dude, your my hero of the day. I absolutely loathe bad, stupid, incorrect, or worthless trivia. Seeing someone else remove a bunch of bad stuff just warms my heart lol.--Degenret01 16:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks dude :) Knowing some latin comes in handy sometimes! 16:46, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Can you please fix this as I moves are currently maxed out, RuneScape:Counter Vandalism Unit, thanks. 19:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Your username
Do you ever take part in RuneScape Wiki community events, like Wikifests? If so, you might want to tell me your RuneScape username so I can rank you as a captain on R S Wikia. 01:53, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Thieving
Just curious since I made profit from 15-25 Thieving in the H.A.M. cave, would it warrant mentioning? --Eternalseed 18:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Great! Could you look over the Slayer Training and let me know what also needs some...help on it?

Slayer helmet (e)
Copyed to: Update:Magic Interface Features post

""Finally, it is now easier to ask gardeners to chop down trees for you, the LootShare radius is larger (and more symmetrical) than before, and Pikkupstix can now enchant the Slayer helmet for use as a Summoning headdress.""

A quick question
Hey Hurston, I need to clarify some stuff again. Should images that are used on talkpages only, be deleted? Because I happen to know a few that are only used on talkpages (not yet deleted) and a few that were on talkpages but later deleted. Also, thanks for supporting on my RfA =D! 13:30, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, how about these two cases: Image:RevenantDragons.jpg.jpg and Image:Pumpkin_spy.png (Both can't be used due to jpg format or standard detail image). I won't link in fear of creating Wanted images, =P. 13:50, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Re:Vandal
If they create accounts, the only way to find out their IP is through a checkuser, which only staff can do. It doesn't seem like any staff are around today though. =\ 17:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

RuneScape:Yew_Grove
Just thought you might want to take a look at that. 02:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Hurston, we have an #ifexist problem
At this point I'm still trying to do follow-up on this issue yet I keep running into cache issues (such as this one). Right now I'm re-awaiting the cache to be rebuilt for Category:Templates without talk pages as it inadvertently has picked up false hits due to sub-nested templates. I believe with enough proper data and given a bit of time code gazing (which can be similar to crystal ball gazing) that a solution can be found for this, but for us to just sweep it under the rug I don't feel is appropriate just yet. As such please bear with me and this bug as I try to get enough good data together (while combing over code) to see if this issue can be addressed. (there is a possibility that the /. effect could be of help in the fixing of this issue, but first and foremost is full documentation of the issue in as much detail as possible.) 02:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes in a former life (lived inside a cubical farm where they grew mushrooms and software engineers) i was also not a mushroom (but you know how corporations are, they're full of that recyclable bio-matter that mushrooms thrive in). The language is php but the syntax should be totally comfortable to you.  The link regarding the bug documentation is at http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Uberfuzzy#Transcluded_templates which spells out how the problem comes about, meanwhile the links to the extension's code is at Template_talk:Tnavbar thanks to Couchpotato  To see the full picture the base code needs reviewed as well.  19:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

I thought You are not suppose to edit someone elses User Page
I just noticed back from december you edited my page. I thought it clearly stated when you start your Rs Wiki account it told you DO NOT edit others pages. Kingkill410 12:30, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Slayer
mmkay....does the Slayer Training need to be broken down into two separate pages, in your opinion? Or does it needed to be broken down / made easier to understand? 19:25, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

OMG PWNIES!!!
Think Geek? Never heard of them... 17:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Wiki problems
Hey Hurston, do you know what's going on with the wiki lately? The pages listing double redirects, wanted pages and others aren't being updated like they should be. Also, is it just me, or is the recent changes showing very few of the...recent changes? Thanks. 12:14, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, then what about the Recent Changes? 12:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

user:Axazar
for some reason twice now user:Axazar deleted triva and glitches from the Christmas 2008 event page. could you tell him to stop that?-- 12:32, 13 February 2009 (UTC) Woops, for some reason it posted twice.
 * I'm in two minds about this one as most of what he was deleting is fluff that we don't really need, which I suppose is why he was deleting it. 12:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Uotm
Hi Hurston, I just nominated you to be April's User of the Month. 11:55, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

RE:Fruit
I just checked, looks like you're right. I'm going to delete the pages now. 11:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi!
Hi Hurston, I thought, let's give you a present for being nominated for Uotm:. Enjoy!--. 07:33, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! And,, your chance of winning the Uotm is 100% atm, not very exciting ;)--. 15:34, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Checkuser
Hello Hurston, in order to counter the recent vandal bot attacks, Wikia has decided to grant four administrators the checkuser tool. The following users have been given the tool: Karlis, AndorinKato, you, and myself. Please only use this in cases of serious abusive sockpuppetry or in the cases of another vandal bot attack. Wikimedia's tips and hints. Also, keep in mind each use of the tool is logged, feel free though to run a test or two on one of the vandal's accounts to familiarize yourself with the tool, (though of course only a test or two.). If you need any additional assistance feel free to ask (checkuser can be found on the contributions page).-- 04:47, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Darn you Hurston!
You rollback to fast, your taking my rollbacks! Lol don't worry it's all good, just felt like talking. 22:20, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * ^^Bipolar mania ftw?-- 22:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikia
Just a thought, do you have the slightest clue who User:Wikia is? I message User:Sannse just incase. He used your name, Karlis', and Caleb's. The person who created Wikia is User:Edit page script. 13:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha, Wikia still welcomed another user! =P 13:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It does seem kind of silly, but I don't think it has done any harm. It does inform IP's that they can sign up, as I'm sure some don't know about it or how to. I think it would be handy to have around. It also lets them know which admins are currently active should they have any questions. Personally, I see no reason to disable it. 14:04, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I see it as feeding the trolls. If a kiddie is there vandalising and they get a welcome message, they are getting some attention from that and are more likely to stick around for more. 14:09, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, this is true. Is there a way for it to welcome registered users only with a message welcoming them and not asking them to sign up? 14:11, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * There were separate welcome messages for accounts and IPs, but I couldn't see that you could turn them off individually. 14:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Say, do any of you know how it selects the names to use? 14:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the most recently active admin. 14:31, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if we can get it to use our Wiki's welcome notice template. 14:33, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * You can. The full instructions are on User:Wikia. 14:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you re-enable it? 14:42, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Done 14:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, I got it to use our own welcome notice for registered users. It would be nice though if we could disable it for IP's. 15:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Within hours of its introduction, we've already had an anonymous user sign up for an account. =) It might be good after all! 18:44, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

I saw you are on, so I thought I would ask your opinion. Items are described as "member's only", "members only", or "members' only". Obviously one is correct. Which is it? Thanks for your input! 15:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

IP "vandal" 213.10.174.215
Hi Hurston. Just wondering, why did you block IP address 213.10.174.215? His edit specifically targeted the trivia section, which leads me to believe that he isn't a vandal. Typical vandals would just remove all the information from the page. His edit removed some trivia which we was not really needed in the article. I would like to unblock him but I would like to hear from you first. Regards. 13:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * That's true. However, the IP user could have thought that articles weren't suppose to have trivia or anything of the sort. I'm just going to unblock him and give him a chance per RS:AGF. 13:44, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

reason for removing my better explained weapon change glitch?
why did you remove it? please give me a good reason.

alright, how about i prove it to you by showing a video of myself doing the glitch UNEDITED on august 10th (first video about it, i'll show unedited and edited). ... i pretty much know who i told about the glitch as i found it myself. also i can show you the lean is still possible, if you want...as it was also found by me and my friend.

oh and, if i can prove it to you, will you edit it as it was?

Hey!!
Hi Hurston, I was wondering why my signature page Template:Astonisho was deleted by you. I do not see anything wrong in it. -- 17:50, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

He's Back...
That Pagemaker guy you blocked yesterday is back with a new account (Page Maka!!!). As I said on CVU yesterday, I think it's safe to assume that he's here for disruption only (look at the first edit to the first account's userpage, his userpage on this account, and his behavior on the forums). Since you seem to be on right now, would you mind dealing with him? -- 14:02, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Dealt with thanks 14:03, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

He still coming back.
Hi hurston, User:Page maka!!! still coming back so I may suggest to block his IP so he cant make more accounts?-- 14:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Any admin/'crat/idk can block his IP, but it doesn't prevent him from creating a new account at school, work etc. 14:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * He's going wild on the Forums, now. This is getting ridiculous. -- 14:19, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * [1 ] [2 ] [3 ] [4 ] [5 ] I agree with Pika ... This IS ridiculous. 14:27, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey Hurston. As you are well aware, he is contributing vandalism to the forum. I have blocked his recent sockpuppet, User:Coolradog, but I would like to request a checkuser for the IP and a range block issued. Thanks a lot. 15:10, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe Karlis did just that already 15:12, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank goodness. Peace reigns, for now anyway. -- 15:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Re:Admin
Fine with me...

16:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Half of his 900 mainpage edits are new pages that redirect to an article. It looks like he's just trying to do his best to make up other names for the same article to get his editcount up. 13:58, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

 * The previous list was from a noraml daily run which means only about 1/3 of the items are in it. This is from a full run of all items. Rich Farmbrough, 10:00 19  May 2009 (GMT).

You may find this helps.
