1/2 Prince

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me make a complete article for the series 1/2 Prince. I started working on the one already made and was using articles of other mangas as an idea of what it should look like. Obviously it has not be completed and is a work in progress. So, if you could help or help me find someone who is willing to help, that would be great. Thanks. The Sapphire Dragon (talk) 02:46, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have no idea what 1/2 Prince is about. I'll find someone else who may be interested. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 02:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Chess Fit in Page

MC10, I have a question. When I put the chessboard on my talkpage, it doesn't go on the pink, I want the board on the pink just like you put yours on your blue color. How do you do that? RSA 23 ^Sign! 01:05, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Could you give an example? And please don't link to my name—I know who I am. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 16:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Look at my sandbox, the chessboard doesn't fit on the pink color unlike on your talk page the chessboard fits inside all the blue color. Tell me what is wrong with my chessboard. Thanks! RSA 23 ^Sign! 22:24, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Try closing the <div> tag of one of the ones used from the copied/stolen chessboard; then, <br clear="all">. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L•EM) 23:03, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

First Crusade reference

Hi, MC10. There is a problem with your addition of a ref at First Crusade. (see here and here). The name Michael Gervers is not associated with that book, and the cited section is written by Susan B. Edgington. Could you please recheck your source on this? Thanks. — CactusWriter | ^needles 09:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Without a response from you on this, I went ahead and reverted the incorrect sourcing to a {{fact}} tag. — CactusWriter | ^needles 10:10, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, didn't see your message. I'll fix the reference. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 17:26, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Done —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 17:38, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Courtesy notice

Hi, you might not be paying attention to user talk:MC10 Chess, and it wouldn't give you an orange bar. There's an MFD nomination notice posted there. Also, your alternate account is the subject of an ANI thread here. --Floquenbeam (talk) 20:30, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

RFA

Hi - Just a friendly note - you may want to make it clear what you changed with your answer to Q10 during this edit. I think normal etiquette would have been to strike your original comments if you wanted to update your answer. As it stands now you have a lot of people pointing out a problem with your answer to that question, which has since improved... Just a thought. Good luck. 7 00:25, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me. I've struck out my original answer. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 00:28, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Try using an informative edit summary (located underneath the edit window). —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 00:36, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Your RFA

As a previous editor who burnt out on wikipedia, I admire your dedication and your luster. It's editors like you who keep the project going. It's editors like me who pushed and pushed and pushed and burnt out that endanger the project. Check out my userspace, you might find some interesting things. Help for AFD's with Keeper mainly. I wont vote in your Rfa because I have been gone so long, but I do wish you luck. Dusti^SPEAK!! 00:40, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Dusti. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 00:41, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi MC10 - I just closed your RfA per the withdrawal you posted. Sorry it turned into an oppose pile-on, but I hope you'll be able to take some good feedback from it. RfA can be a stressing process, but don't let it get you down. You seem to be a good editor, so hang in there - happy editing. :-) JamieS93 01:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll take all of the advice into account and maybe I'll try again in about 3 months. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 01:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll be honest with you - more likely than not, 3 months is going to be too quick to come back and run again. Occasionally some candidates are able to gain sufficient experience and/or consistently demonstrate sound judgement within that time. But honestly, for most people it works best if you give it more time, perhaps 5 months, before trying again. It might feel a little discouraging that you'll have to wait for half a year, but I've seen RfA over time, and it would be for the best if you made sure to not rush into anything. Try digging into a mix of maintenance work and article improvement, and I think you'll find yourself less focused on "the wait", but instead, take the time to get a feel for this place, how things are done, etc. After all: I know everybody says it, but adminship isn't the goal or prize. As a candidate, it's about gaining a feel for how things are done, generally speaking, instead of textbook answers to the typical policy questions - I believe that was a point that the opposers were bringing up.

Why Hello MC10. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LennyAthena (talk • contribs) 02:06, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello

Hi. We haven't met, but I note that you in the past have protected the Esam Omeish page from an editor, claiming to be Omeish, who is intent on deleting any material that he does not view as positive (even though supported by RSs). If you don't have it on your watch list anymore, and have the time/interest, you might add it to your watch list -- as he is back quite actively of late. I've raised to him why it is incorrect for him to delete the material, but he just keeps at it. He was blocked recently, but that has not deterred him. Many thanks.--Epeefleche (talk) 15:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm assuming you mean the IP 70.179.93.254 (talk • contribs • info • WHOIS)? I actually haven't watched the page; I was huggling at the time and happened to find his edits disruptive. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 00:25, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Got it. Well, those edits continue, unabated, despite my best efforts to explain why they are not appropriate. Best.--Epeefleche (talk) 03:44, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

If he continues to vandalise, report him to WP:AIV. Typically you need to already give him 4 warnings before you report. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 04:03, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Tx. He has already been blocked once, so I think we're past the point of has he been warned sufficiently.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:08, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

No, actually the count resets. If it's really urgent and requires admin attention, post it at WP:ANI. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 05:49, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

tx. --Epeefleche (talk) 05:53, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome. —MC10 (T•C•GB•L) 05:54, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
