User talk:Mario jc/Archive 10

Advice
One word of advice. I'm a big Mario and Zelda fan myself (I've been playing Nintendo since the NES days) and certainly not here to vandalise your site. In fact it's a great site. I'm just suggesting you take a different approach to disputes. Trust me -- it will save us a lot of grief in the future.
 * 1) It would be more prudent to discuss any disputes you may have with people rather then block every new person that makes an edit to your pages.
 * 2) Page 104 of the Super Mario All-star SNES guide - if you have it - uses the correctly spelled term "Albatross". Look it up if you don't believe me.

Blinking Odyssey
I feel uncertain about your undo of the trivia part on the Odyssey. The Odyssey might not "blink" with eyelids but the lamp turns off two times in a row and the cycle repeats itself on a long timespan. When you center your camera towards the lamp there's NO chance you cannot notice that. I want to prove my point with a video: This 10s long vid might be worth your time. Other than that, what could the lamp switching off be otherwise? I'd love to hear more from you. Goodbye --YeeMeYee (talk) 07:22, 27 November 2017 (EST)

Coney Island
Hi, could you please move Coney Island (disambiguation) to Coney Island without leaving a redirect? Thanks! 20:41, 28 November 2017 (EST)

Trio Move
Hi, now that all of the relevant articles were created, could you give me suggestions on how to repurpose Trio Move? 06:08, 30 November 2017 (EST)

Archive
Hi, I just want to know why you restored User talk:Astro-Lanceur/archive and User talk:Astro-Lanceur/Archive 2, because it seems that the user was merging the archives. Not only that, but didn't you do the same thing less than a week before? 20:58, 2 December 2017 (EST)
 * Thanks, that helps! 21:58, 2 December 2017 (EST)

Proposal Archives
With this conversation with Steve in mind, this proposal has been overruled, and therefore hasn't passed. Would it be possible to make note of that in the archive (beyond the comprehensive list, which I've changed to purple)? 21:50, 2 December 2017 (EST)

Mega Maw-Ray
Why did you rename it? Unagi's name changed to Maw-Ray.  Music Video 123  (talk) 08:06, 7 December 2017 (EST)
 * @Music Video 123: Read his summary. It's not confirmed to be a name change. 08:11, 7 December 2017 (EST)

Desert Oasis
Hi, so I don't think the Desert Oasis location from Super Mario Odyssey needs a game identifier to disambiguate it from the level from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat. But what identifier should I use? Any advice? 23:18, 9 December 2017 (EST)

Bumper
I tried finding instances where the now redirects Bumper (object) and Bumper (item) were used so I could change them, but the "what links here" page still shows a ton of pages linking to these redirects. I'm guessing these pages are mostly from Template:SMM and the SSB series templates, which you changed. It seems a little weird to me how the redirects still have pages linking to them if the templates were changed. 08:31, 10 December 2017 (EST)

port vs. remake
There needs to be a discussion on whether a title qualifies as a port or remake because not every re-release with changes made is a remake and sources would be needed to verify its developmental history.

Protection
Hi, could you please fully protect Template:Recently? Thanks! 10:08, 16 December 2017 (EST)

Mario with Troopa shell thing
I thought he said he scanned it in from a magazine? If so, it could have been scanned as a .PNG. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 20:50, 20 December 2017 (EST)

Protection
Hi, could you please indefinitely semiprotect List of Super Mario Odyssey glitches? Thanks! 04:45, 22 December 2017 (EST)
 * Also, could you please remove the instance of on this user page? I'm not sure how it went unnoticed, but the template's still not allowed on user pages. Thanks!  04:55, 22 December 2017 (EST)

Oh, thanks!
I was going to get to the Category:Villains proposal outcome tomorrow, as I did the one today, but I see you went ahead with it. Makes sense though, I can't delete the category itself :P Thanks! 22:39, 25 December 2017 (EST)

Message
I left a message for both you and Legomariofanatic on his talk page. You might want to reply to it when you get the chance.

P.S.: Would you mind moving Bub (character) to Bub without leaving a redirect? Thanks! 08:52, 27 December 2017 (EST)

I want to see what you think about the discussion at Talk:Bub. 06:32, 5 January 2018 (EST)
 * I think the Piano disambiguation page is the exact same scenario here. 16:59, 25 January 2018 (EST)

Breakout role confusion
When I said breakout role, it means that it's the game that introduced him to the main audience for everyone to see. As the first real "Mario" game, that's what Mario Bros. did for Luigi. It's like saying that Charles Martinet's voice as Mario became the new standard in Super Mario 64, and it means the same thing here. 20:00, 1 January 2018 (EST)

Delete
Hi, would you mind deleting this page? It's an unnecessary redirect. Thanks! 10:43, 3 January 2018 (EST)

Another revision deletion
Hi, would you mind deleting this revision, since the user's username was all but removed everywhere else? Thanks! 06:30, 5 January 2018 (EST)

Comment removal
Hey, what was that for? I wasn't commenting for the sake of commenting! 22:40, 8 January 2018 (EST)

Re:Power Moon Removal
The lack of completion is mainly due to the fact that I didn't have a lot of time. I was planning to come back to it later, but I understand the purpose of the deletion.Argonstorm32 (talk) 01:42, 9 January 2018 (EST)

Skyscraper
Just letting you know that I'm not finding anything about the Skyscraper's location in the manual, either. Appears to be false info.

Also, do we need to say "It is unknown what building the skyscraper is."? It's very clearly a skyscraper :P 19:39, 15 January 2018 (EST)

Hello
I saw you were dealing with this guy, but then he reverted your edit (being very rude in the process) and I noticed you were no longer online, so I went and reverted the edit and reported him, rather than wait for you. Hope that's okay. 14:10, 17 January 2018 (EST)

Concept Art Category
I only tagged Category:Concept art with because five images were there at the time and you said it best that the category is too broad. It seemed as though concept art is pre-release. However, I am not opposed to the idea of splitting Category:Pre-release and unused content images. I might suggest splitting into Category:Pre-release images and Category:Unused content images, because there is just way too many images in that category, but I do realize that is a lot of work and it can be hard to tell what belongs in what category. For example, File:PM Prerelease Battle 2.jpg would be pre-release and File:TotalEconomizingEffect.png would be unused content. There could be pre-release content in the published game through hacking, so the line is blurred in that instance. It is a lot better than having a sub-category just for concept art, don't you think? The categorization becomes more structured instead of just thrown into one messy category with a sub-category addressing one issue. -- 23:27, 17 January 2018 (EST)
 * I get the idea, but I think we can do better, which is the idea I currently pitched to you. I would like to know if the idea is good as-is or if there are some issues with the idea. I like the two-category idea, but if you feel that concept art, pre-release, and unused content are distinct enough categories, I guess we can move Category:Concept art to Category:Concept art images to match the motif. -- 10:23, 18 January 2018 (EST)
 * Now that you mention it, it sounds more like a copyright category than anything. It's not quite or, which are usually reserved for final products. Maybe  would be a good idea. Then we can talk to  to update MediaWiki:Licenses, if he is on-board with the idea. -- 11:04, 19 January 2018 (EST)

Order of navigation templates
I elaborated on my oppose vote on this proposal, which, even though you already opposed as a second choice, I still think you might want to comment on, especially regarding the last point. 16:13, 18 January 2018 (EST)
 * Now the proposer wants to cancel the proposal to consider this suggestion made by Porplemontage that I personally don't mind having as a second choice. 17:32, 18 January 2018 (EST)

Luigi edit
Oh, come on. Is there any better way to word the phrase? Also, were you talking about the original phrase, or the one that I put in when you said it was flowery? 21:54, 20 January 2018 (EST)
 * You mean the phrase "when push comes to shove"? Okay, that sounds fine with me. 22:14, 20 January 2018 (EST)

Wario Land level articles
Do you happen to own that game? A lot of the later world articles don't have diddly squat for level information, and I happen to have the game on VC, so I could perhaps help if I find time. Of course, it'd be best if I started a new game with it.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:40, 21 January 2018 (EST)

Site notice
Hi, would you mind updating the site notice so that it announces the release of The 'Shroom Issue 130? Thanks! 12:09, 21 January 2018 (EST)


 * Ah, I was gonna change it last night and I completely forgot. >.< 18:57, 21 January 2018 (EST)

RE: Duplicates
Upon further thinking, I realize now that the duplicates could be deleted as long as the URLs redirect back to at least one version of them.-- 10:32, 22 January 2018 (EST)

RE:Mario jc
Thanks for the temporary identifiers on Mansion Door! 01:51, 23 January 2018 (EST)

Restoration
In addition to deleting Piano, would you mind restoring Category:Talk to be deleted and adding to the top? Thanks! 17:42, 25 January 2018 (EST)

Heavily-Recurring Music
I'm honestly considering drafting articles for particularly-recurring music tracks (such as the SMB overworld, cave, and invincibility themes, and Jungle Hijinks) and then making a proposal to let them exist, just so we don't have these long trivia points in such arbitrary places. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:15, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * Well I do have the 25th-anniversary book where he makes some general statements about the various games' compositions.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:39, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * Additionally, I wasn't thinking just "list of games," I was thinking of talking about how the composition evolves between them, sometimes divergently (for instance, SMG has a "tense" and a "spooky" version of the underground theme, and I'd go into detail about the various differences). Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:41, 26 January 2018 (EST)
 * About the interview or the structure and flow? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:10, 26 January 2018 (EST)

FYI! FYI! FYI! FYI! FYI!
This thing doesn't get used a lot, so I wanted to use it :P 21:31, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Congrats, man! You deserved every single bit of that. Keep working hard and keep contributing to the wiki. 22:56, 27 January 2018 (EST)

Congrats!! :D 01:13, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Hey hey hey, good job, friendo. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:48, 28 January 2018 (EST)

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Per everyone who beat me to it! Well done! 19:41, 28 January 2018 (EST)

I seriously can't congratulate you enough! (PS: Might want to update your userpage, too.) 00:24, 29 January 2018 (EST)

Man, ever since resigned, I've been speculating over who would replace him. Congrats for being the chosen one! - 04:36, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Fix the zeldawiki links
The "zeldawiki" links are not working because, on the interwiki log, you have it labeled as "zeldawiki.org", when it is supposed to be "zeldawiki.gamepedia.com". Can you fix it? Torey (talk) 07:34, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Derived species
Does it make sense to say that Baby Yoshis are "Derived Species" of Yoshis? They're the same species at different ages. 23:13, 28 January 2018 (EST)

Plants vs. Zombies reference?
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/plantsvszombies/images/f/fb/Homing_Thistle2.png

Hi. Though I'm certain it's the latter, do you think that Homing Thistles from the Plants vs. Zombies franchise resembling Pokeys (as pictured above) is an adequate reference for List of Mario references in third party video games, or is it considered a coincidence? I'm just asking because the user that added the "reference" messaged me on my talk page after I reverted his edit. Thanks! 01:01, 30 January 2018 (EST)

Roof
Hi, would you mind moving Roof (disambiguation) to Roof without leaving a redirect? Thanks! 18:19, 30 January 2018 (EST)

Make an Edit
For File:PMCS Ludwig Animated.png, I moved it to an extension that distinguishes between static PNGs and animated PNGs, File:PMCS Ludwig Animated.apng. I need you to edit Proposals/Archive 46 for maintenance reasons. Please? -- 13:17, 31 January 2018 (EST)

Vandal
If they've been blocked, why can I still see their name in the "who's online" section? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:39, 1 February 2018 (EST)

Under attack
You do know this wiki is currently under attack, right? 08:32, 3 February 2018 (EST)
 * Thanks for doing that! Now you just have to delete their revisions... 08:37, 3 February 2018 (EST)
 * Think you can rename that user to "Noname005" once you're done hiding those revisions? 09:11, 3 February 2018 (EST)
 * Sorry about that. I did send an email to the MarioWiki admin account, but no one responded immediately. I feel a sense of urgency each time I see a vandal attack like that, so that might be the cause for my comments. Thanks for messaging me; I'll try to keep it under control in the future. 09:43, 3 February 2018 (EST)

Transparency
Unsure if he himself scanned them in, but he could have scanned them in as .PNGs. Those PEotGMCE pictures I uploaded seem to be from a .PNG, as that's what my computer automatically saves them as. They just have a lot of colors by default since they're essentially photographs. I applied transparency to those ones I uploaded, but made careful sure to get all stray pixels via the magic wand tool on multiple tolerances. He seems to have done the same thing, but forgot to have altered the tolerances enough. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:59, 4 February 2018 (EST)
 * Just saying, there may not have been any conversion, as scans by default have a lot of pixel variance due to things like lighting and ink and such regardless of initial file extention, so it's not like a originally-on-a-computer .jpg/.png where the surrounding color quality is dependent of the type, in this case it'll be a tad blurry either way. Though like I said, the .png blurriness can be rectified through careful usage of Paint.net or Photoshop.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:17, 4 February 2018 (EST)

Re: Italics
Oh, have I really been forgetting to use italics? And I've been on MarioWiki for over 8 years now and have been forgetting for all those years...wow, just wow. Silly me, but thanks for the heads up, as it's something I don't think I take into consideration on my edits. But rest assured, I'll try my best to remember your words of wisdom for my future edits, mate. Have a good one. --Jjrapper100 (talk) 22:58, 5 February 2018 (EST)

Elephant
Thank you for taking care of the remaining links to Elephant! 21:49, 6 February 2018 (EST)

Possible Cuphead reference
Hi, just thought I would want to contact you about whether this tidbit of information from Cuphead merits being a reference. During the second phase of Grim Matchstick's boss fight, he summons flame enemies that act very similar to Hot Feet. The image is below (sorry I can't resize it):

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/9370513/Xbox_Clip_3_Screenshot_2017_10_02_03_14_47.png

Let me know what you think. Thanks! 16:29, 15 February 2018 (EST)


 * If I may interject, I'd say it's very unlikely, as cartoon fire or, well, anything, is often given bare-bones anthropomorphism like that (for example, in the Spongebob episode "Procrastination," as well as Faiachu and Flame) Also, Hot Foot lacked arm or faces, and hasn't been seen outside of remakes since 1988-1991. On top of that, it only appeared in a few levels in the game it was in, making it a ludicrously obscure enemy. As such, a generic anthropomorphized ball of flame is inordinately unlikely to be a reference to it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:31, 15 February 2018 (EST)


 * What Doc said. 21:17, 15 February 2018 (EST)
 * Thanks, that helps! 00:21, 16 February 2018 (EST)

RE:World 6-Bowser's Castle (New Super Mario Bros. 2)
I know that--I actually used it to remove the link on the New Super Mario Bros. 2 page and its level template--but I was in a hurry. Anyway, I'm just curious, do levels from Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS really need an identifier, like World 16-4 (Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS)? 8-4 Remix (Castle Labyrinth) is indeed technically World 16-4 of Super Mario Maker for Wii U, but it's never referred to as such in-game. Shouldn't the identifiers be removed in similar cases? -- 09:07, 16 February 2018 (EST)
