Edits
Your edits look great...keep up the good work Atlandy 17:23, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When using infoboxes for items...If the item is non tradable, you can eliminate the store price, and street price lines in the info box. This will show N/A in those boxes.  Just a little tip.[[Image:Wintumber_tree.PNG]] Atlandy 15:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Nice work on your item edits. Minor comment - can you keep an eye on the examine text and make sure you end it with a full-stop if there's one in-game. Other than that, nice going! Pointy 21:40, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Reverting Vandalism
Thanks for spotting and clearing up the recent vandal attack. Keep up the good work.

Raw beef
I'm trying to figure out your edit to the Raw beef article, where you emphatically state that raw beef isn't what is dropped from cows.

Having just killed a cow and taken what was left over, I'm pretty certain it is called "raw beef" instead of "raw meat". Jagex sometimes does screw up and use the same name for multiple items, so it may still be technically two different items that can be traded, but I'm just not seeing it.

So what is "raw meat" and how is it obtained? I'm just confused, and I don't want to get into an edit war with you if you happen to have some greater insight into this concept that somehow I'm missing. --Robert Horning 19:37, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting edit in my main page. maybe it wasnt vandalism, maybe just mis-reverting my previous page edit?:)--RFZ 22:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism we need help
Hey, I see your on and I can go in IRC to get help, if you can please go on and get someone to stop HURR. He is doing redicets to spam pages.--Degenret01 07:53, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind, Amaurice was on--Degenret01 07:56, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Extra edits
Do you want some extra edits? I need some help with another project of me, can't do this in my own or with Chicken7, that's why i ask you.

I made an edit in Template:Infobox Item. If an item is equipable or not, you can edit an item article, then add |equipable = Yes or No in the template (infobox item).

Example: Bronze dagger, equipable = Yes.

Do you have any more questions, please go to my talk page.

THANX!

Nomination for Sysop
Hi Hurston! I've just nominated you for adminship. I know you haven't been too engaged in a lot of community discussions, but I'd really like to see you have sysop privileges due to the amount of work you put into reverting vandalism. If you accept this nomination, please sign your consent at your RFA. Good luck! 03:07, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Sysopped
Congratulations on being sysopped! Now you can block and unblock users and IPs (as well as IP ranges), edit MediaWiki pages, and protect, delete, and undelete pages. If you have questions, you're welcome to ask me or anyone else. 02:18, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Indeed he was.. *sigh* I think I need to take the day off... -.-

CVU
Hey, sorry I don't always get time to report vandals on the CVU. As I am editing at work, I often have just enough time to click rollback before something comes up, and by the time I'm finished it seems you've taken care of it. I appreciate your assistance though. =D

Blocking Sonicblade001
Hi Hurston, I suggest you extend Sonicblade001's block and delete his talk page because Sonicblade001 added a personal attack against you on it. Thanks, 09:07, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sure a month with be enough for him, I'm not worried about personal attacks. Thanks for letting me know Hurston 09:10, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Plant cure
Hi,

I don't understand what you're saying. Are you saying that the sentence "In the quest Garden of Tranquillity you use it with some Rune dust to make one stronger plant cure for the Burthope Vines (to make some Rune Dust, only use one Rune or Pure essence with a Hammer or Chisel, after it use this with a Pestle and Mortar" uses good grammar? Or are you saying that I should have marked the article differently?  11:40, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

You don't like Hunter?!
You should try it...at 63 it becomes a good money-maker and it's one of the faster skills to train. It also doesn't get boring as quickly as most other skills. 14:25, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Reverting
You're most welcome! I enjoy it, and I love to keep the wiki clean and clear of vandalism. I love the concept of a free-edit encyclopedia, and while I don't really actively play RuneScape much anymore, this community is the best I've seen on any wiki. I'm glad to be a part of it and do what I can to keep it knowledgeable and enjoyable for everyone. Thanks for taking time to let me know! =D 07:59, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Templates
Hello there hurston Just wondering but it would be a good idea If we have the words your supposed to put on your page To help new members Colo Talk

Re:Admins
Hi Hurston, well I am a very inquisitive person, so I was curious since I have never read anything about resigning administrative rights. 10:49, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh ok, thanks. =) 11:43, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Problem report GEMW/Ranged
Referring to this: Special:ProblemReports/13626. I think I caused the problem.

In Template:ExchangeItem, I added the last column showing the number of days since the price was edited. That caused the "pre-expand include size too large" bug. I'll rectify it. 12:34, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

AJAX
Hey, did the AJAX auto-refresh box disappear for you, by chance? I don't see it anymore. I know other users had this problem in the past.. 13:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have it either, I assume because of the recent mediawiki update. It's not something I use so I didn't notice. Hurston 13:43, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Think I fixed it, it was due to Special:Recentchanges being renamed Special:RecentChanges with the update. Computers are picky like that. Skill 13:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Working for me now, thanks! 13:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: PointyBot (Karlis' talkpage)
I have looked through the PointyBot code. Running PointyBot requires a passcode that I assume only Pointy has. I remember that Pointy had said that he would be busy, and may not be able to update regularly. Someone must be willing to stand in for him when he's away. However, to run the bot, one requires the PointyBot passcode that is used to login to this wiki. 15:55, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Aside from that, things have really stepped up at work, and I have got really busy (hence why I've not been on much.) If Az wishes to take it over, by all means, do what you need to. 21:44, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Ref:Image:Magic emote.gif
It is used in a persons signature which is why it's on all those talk pages and one or two peoples user pages. It is not used in any articles and thus its a personal image and a duplicate. Both those reasons warrant deletion. -- 12:08, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Usage of animations/images on non-article pages (user/talk etc) should not be grounds for keeping an image. -- 12:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You are probably right, but I am still not sure on the matter. If you put them back on Speedy D, someone else can decide Hurston 12:20, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I will not put any more to speedy until a decision has been made. -- 12:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

re: dark beast
can u re-write my info about the dark bow please b'cos im only tryin to help innit. =) btw its on the dark beast page

fadalisdestroyer 09:31, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

oopsey...my mistake
i put semi rare at the side of dark bow but others probably thought it always drops it so i'll re-write it and put all the other drops onto 1 part of the page and note if there semi rare or all that

fadalisdestroyer 09:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!
I wasn't sure what to do with the vandals I caught, so I just gave them a warning. If you want to block them (like you already did to one) here are the I.P.s: 84.198.24.226 You already got this one... 91.152.162.2 119.11.9.104

T&E area editing pass
next time, you can edit my T&E area freely. this is a pass to say that you have been allowed to edit it freely.  Btzkillerv has entered the building!   17:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

about the block...
is there only 1 way to block user:kingduffy 90 and not user:fadalisdestroyer666 cos its unfair to block me.fadalisdestroyer 09:57, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

in not the 1 doing anything wrong

Your english is rather poor, so I'm not entirely sure what you are going on about. Fadalisdestroyer666 has not been blocked, and I'm unsure why you would be concerned about another account, unless it is a sockpuppet. Hurston 10:38, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Hallowe'en template
Hi! Do you know who made the Hallowe'en countdown on 2008 Hallowe'en event?--. 15:21, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That would be Japol1 according to the history. Hurston 15:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * He again? How could he know? I'll ask him.--. 15:24, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Somehow I think he is only guessing Hurston 15:25, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Why?
Why has one off my userboxes been removed? It was a userbox that I saw on numerous userpages like all other userboxes. Why was it different from the rest? 15:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The userbox had been deleted for some reason, and was causing a wanted pages item. There was only one page other than yours which used it, so I cleared the red links from both. If you do indeed want it back, let me know and I'll re-instate the deleted template. Hurston 15:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Could I please have it back and in future cases of this could you do the same. Thank you. 15:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

That was fast!
It really was! I had just put up the Speedy Del sign on that whole Evil James nonsense, I look back two seconds later and find both pages deleted! Well done to you, sir!

I have a complaint
Ok, hi Hurston, i have one thing that i'm unhappy with:

YOU DELETED MY PAGES WITHOUT PERMISION!

Usually i will delete pages that need to be so from now on, you leave that section alone and all my areas alone. only if i say you can edit, you can you edit. I will know if you edit something without my permission.

From JJ9630.

P.S. if you wish to be friends, you will leave me alone.

sorry
Sorry about that.

I didn't know about that. So how do i do this for the pages:

User:JJ9630 = Evil James's G.E.

Is that what i do?

Thank you
Thanks for your help, hopefully my page wont be deleted!

"Red link" Talk pages
Rather than commenting out the link to the talk pages, a better solution would be to check if the talk page exists before putting the link in this template. If the talk page does not exist, the link will not appear.

Why did you delete my pic? I had it on my profile for showing what my character looked like... Other people have it... so its not like only im doing it. -- 00:23, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

TREEBARK
I fixed up the TREEBARK userbox to prevent wanted pages clutter, and redirected TREEBARK to Tree. If there are any more problems, just leave a message on my userpage. Thanks! Chukonu xbow talk Contribs TREEBARK 22:53, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

User Page
How did you get the goals and %(percent) achived box, its really cool and i would like one on my user page

Thanks,

Whew
Glad to see you here, that new article is draining me reverting vandalism and blocking! Hope you're here to stay, because I'm about to partially protect While Guthix Sleeps for a few hours to let the vandals cool down. 19:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Delete something for me?
Hey,Is it possible to delete Blast hammer for me?.I created the page a little to early and so it has a wrong name.Or if possible, change the name to Blast fusion hammer.Powers38 11:59, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

How about you nominate yourself? I'd support. 15:47, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As would I.-- 15:49, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not too sure about that, but I'll go for it if there are no other good candidates stepping forward. 17:17, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Question
Why did you delete my phoenix gang box? 208.71.101.247 23:50, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Er, never mind. I realized my spelling mistake far too late. Bf2142pwner 23:57, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

Navbox template talk pages
Does all the Navbox templates' talk pages appear in the Wanted list? I thought I fixed the code to only provide a link only if the talk page exist.

Please let me know if this is the case... and I will look into the coding. 17:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You sure it's not caused by Navbox templates? It seems like it.  How often does the Wanted pages list get updated?  17:38, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... that's strange. Template:Tnavbar is the template that handles the "v.d.e" links. Check it out. I've already add the "ifexist" thing, so I don't know why the talk pages is added to the Wanted pages. 18:11, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

omg..
Why exactly did you delete my signature page without warning me about it!? -- 00:00, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh ok sorry. Another mod turned it to there. Thought I lost the code. Thanks -- 00:48, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Re:Bureaucrats
First of all I believe you are inquiring to my current state of activity on RuneScape wiki. As of the moment I am slowly returning to some normal activity. It is true that I have been gone for quite some time excluding some relatively minor edits here and there mainly due to school and other commitments. As of now I am currently on the borderline of being active and semi-active again.

Secondly regarding another B'crat. I personally am of the philosophy that the more B'crats/admins the better but not to the point of where B'crats are arguing/debating each other to the point where nothing is advancing policy wise on the wiki. So if your wanting an answer then mine is: If you really think someone is worthy of being nominated and has the bureaucratic skills and teamwork ability than please do (provided you have their consent of course)! I can't guarantee for how long I'll be active or how active I will be at the moment. Hopefully that answers some questions! --Whiplash 01:21, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Help
Can you please visit this link for me:. Tell Karlis what you saw near the bottom of the page which is called: item of the week. Tell him and tell me when you've told him. See you later.

JJ9630 17:44, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Wanted item ID's
Well the page has three purposes, first it is a general record of the item IDs, secondly it provides a rapid way of looking them up when adding new items, and thirdly it provides a list of page names which should exist, even if only as redirects - since the name used it the name used by Jagex in the GEDB. Rich Farmbrough, 12:52 13 December 2008 (GMT).

Banned User Appeal
The user, Pussie has created a new account as per his block appeal with you, however he cannon post as per an IP block that remains. He needs help. His new account is User:Jeffreychard 10:21, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Trying to sort it now, don't forget to sign userpages 10:19, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot :S 10:21, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Everything should be ok, they may still be logged in under the old account. If it is indeed a problem with their IP, get them to log out and leave a message on the talk page for that IP, and I'll have another look. 10:25, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

Admin
Thanks for noticing, but there are so many RFA's out recently that there really isn't any hurry to become an admin. Perhaps later when there are less people trying to become admins, and we need more. Thanks again ‎Atlandy 20:20, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

i must have missed something
I thought Soldier had touched base with Azaz re: RfB, I was in Azaz's talk page when i noticed, ergo why I was first in line to put forth my support (and Azaz had already signed, =p) Regardless I it's the First RfB i strongly support. 15:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Whilst Soldier left a message on Azaz's talk page to say that he had nominated him, as far as I can see, he didn't actually ask whether or not he actually wanted to be put forward, unless I am missing a talk page somewhere. Hence my comment. I completely agree with the fact that Azaz should be 'crated though, he is definitely one of the better admins. 15:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Just Clarifying
''Soldier, you should have at at least asked Azaz before putting him forward for 'cratship, it's only polite. Nevertheless, Azaz has accepted, and certainly ticks all of my boxes, otherwise I would consider that we had enough 'crats at the moment and oppose.''

Just wanted to clarify this. I asked Azaz for permission on his talk page before even starting the RfB. 17:15, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * My mistake, I didn't see his reply on your talk page originally. I apologise. 17:47, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it. It's alright. :) 21:56, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Re: Template talk: pages

 * I thought Az fixed template:navbox so that it wouldn't created "wanted" talk pages when they are empty, it actually even does a test to see if the page exists from what i've seen inside the template. Where are you seeing these as being wanted pages? curiosity always gets the 20:57, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
 * well that's like a batch script that runs on some sort of schedule, right? how is it started? i'm guessing it's all php and thus inaccessible to us (which is too bad as i'm getting better at php), but not so much so with js or css (not yet anyrate), still i haven't yet seen one of these, you catch them before i ever spot them, when is that list updated anyhow?  21:30, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

thank you, i understand it now, it's just that the cache on the default listing is only periodically purged, 21:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
