User talk:Ghost Jam/Archive 1

Featured article
Hey, you wanna help set up the FA here? So I can get Wario featured in the near future, like he did on Wikipedia. - A Link to the Past 02:39, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)


 * Note, the above message went unanswered due to personal issues. -- Ghost Jam 20:09, 17 January 2007 (EST)

Rampage
Holy crap, you were on a rampage today, I wish I can try to go as long as you but my caffine fuel always runs out before I get on a rampage like right now...--Caff ya later, Elite Yoshi 18:03, 22 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I've been meaning to kick the crap out of the items page for a few weeks now. Hell, if I had night classes this year, I would be editing things for a few hours a night (it's not like I take the class to learn anything...). -- Ghost Jam 22:22, 22 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Hey Ghost Jam, while you're editing all those items pages, could you make sure to add italics around game titles? They're titles, just as you italic titles for books or movies, and thus needs to be done. Plus, you know, it looks more 'official.'


 * K. I'll run back through when I have more time and fix'em. -- Ghost Jam 13:37, 23 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Also, you know, nice job with the items page. --DarkInsanity (talk)


 * ^_^ -- Ghost Jam 13:37, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

User Template
How did you make that thing on the right that has your age and everything else?--PeteyPiranhaLover 00:49, 9 August 2006 (EDT)


 * It's a user template I pulled together from Wikipedia. Feel free to copy it. -- Ghost Jam 21:12, 13 August 2006 (EDT)

What's up
Hey! Glad you're back occasionally. However, some big things happened when you were gone. Should I share them with you?HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  11:27, 14 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Um...sure? -- Ghost Jam 19:02, 14 August 2006 (EDT)


 * We started a comunity portal, and I became a sysop, along with Wayoshi. Lots of little things I'm forgetting.HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  19:05, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and a rebellion was put down.HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  19:05, 14 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Knew about the portal and the new sysop but.....rebbellion? -- Ghost Jam 01:07, 15 August 2006 (EDT)
 * Just my name for an overbearing mudman. Just ignore it. Sorry.HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  01:08, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

Hello
Hello Ghost jam I haven't seen you online for a while.--Fg 16:05, 9 February 2007 (EST)


 * Sometimes life gets in the way. I try to come on once a day to, at least, clear out things that need to be deleted. -- Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:13, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Re: Trouble
Do you want me to design your user page?

Admittingly, I'm not the best at designs of user pages. If it's some simple color things, though, I'd be happy to help...just not right now. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. You caught me at the end of my tenure here today. 03:28, 12 February 2007 (EST)


 * Nonononon. You missunderstand. I'm looking for a little feedback on the who false reward idea. I thought it might be fun and modded your format as a neat way to show it. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:30, 12 February 2007 (EST)
 * You mean, putting in fake completed missions for yourself from others? 03:34, 12 February 2007 (EST)
 * Close. Say you list a trouble. I complete the trouble. You then issue me a reward. Be it 10 Coins or 5 Jelly Shrooms. Maybe expand the trouble list so we can put down a fictional reward. It's just for fun. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:42, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Your trouble
I have finished it.Isyou 18:34, 17 February 2007 (EST)


 * Um...no you didn't? I don't see a pic on S'crow Funk. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:45, 18 February 2007 (EST)

OMG im so sorry, i thought you said to put a picture of the scrow thingy... Sorry.Isyou 14:43, 18 February 2007 (EST)


 * S'cool. The old scarecrow pic was broken anyway, now it works. That's a good thing. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Ghost Jam[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:02, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Sanction
Really sorry to bother you, but I need a sysops O.K. on something. Since we have a Bestiary for Paper Mario, I thought that I should make one for all games. However, I do'nt want to do work and have it get deleted. Is this I good idea? - Ultimatetoad
 * I don't see a problem with it. Sounds like a good idea. However, if you'd like to be sure, bring it up on the Talk:Main Page. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 19:37, 25 February 2007 (EST)

Dupilcate article problem...
Ryan repiles: When I'm starting to license this pic, "Earth quake.PNG" (without the "), I notice two articles down there that were linked to this pic. I discovered that they are dupilcates, could you merge them into one?? --
 * Taken care of – Earth Quake is the correct name, so I deleted Earthquake. Both had about the same content. 15:29, 5 March 2007 (EST)
 * Thanks. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:36, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Fire Bros.
Sorry that I won't upload another fire bros. image again.
 * Thank you. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:39, 5 March 2007 (EST)

User:Salty
Ghost Jam have you seen Salty online lately?
 * Not in recent memory, no. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him in a while. His last edit was 16:26, 21 December 2006. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:48, 6 March 2007 (EST)

Deleting
Ghost Jam do you really enjoy deleting stuff in this wiki don't you?
 * Yes, I do. It's a task that on one wants to do, but needs to be done to relieve pressure on the server (and just weed out the crap). With FireFox's ability to remember forum information, the job is made easier. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 19:11, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Thanks
Hey, I want to say thanks for deleting all those images. It takes a lot of work for someone to delete over 300 images and you've broken that record. Good luck in the future. 22:48, 8 March 2007 (EST)
 * No problem. FireFox's forum memory helps speed up the process a bit. I don't have to keep retyping the deletion reason, it's already there. And I couldn't have done all this without help from RAP, whos busted his butt just as much as I have. I've kept a half-arsed list on files sizes. Would you believe that, by my math (which...is lacking), I've deleted at least 1.5mbs of image data already? Crazy. Still a ways to go. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:54, 9 March 2007 (EST)

What the ****?
If you're still wondering what the *** :tumble: is, look here. Max wants a Tumble smiley for the forum.
 * Gotcha. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:49, 9 March 2007 (EST)

:Tumble:

 * tumble: is a smiley code. Maxlover wants the character Tumble to have a smiley on the forum. 23:00, 8 March 2007 (EST)
 * Ah, ok. That would be cute. Not...very useful, but cute. Thanks for the heads up. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:43, 9 March 2007 (EST)

no offence, but not useful? we have birdo, and theres like 3 girls on the Wiki! (peachycakes sockpuppets excluded)
 * Maybe I'm still not getting this. :tumble: would make a smiley of Tumble show in your post, yes? Are you saying we already have a few other smileys? -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 15:37, 9 March 2007 (EST)
 * Yes we do, actually. For about three weeks we've had. See here. 15:39, 9 March 2007 (EST)
 * OH! It's a forum thing. Well, then, I'm all for it. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:06, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Hey Ghost Jam, do you know anything about uploading .GIFs? I you do, please help make an animated smiley for Tumble? 21:47, 10 March 2007 (EST)
 * Making? No. Uploading? Seeing as this is forum stuff, not really. Wayoshi would prob know more than me. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 21:52, 10 March 2007 (EST)

Thanks
Thanks for creating that article on Dizzy Dinghies. A grateful fan of Yoshi
 * No problem. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:04, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

What's Up
What's Up Ghost Jam?
 * Not a whole lot. You? -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:49, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
 * the same as you.
 * I'm taking a mini-break from the wiki. I'm still doing deletions and random template fixes, but nothing intensive. Also, poop is brown. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:10, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Parabeetle Pic
Ghost Jam Calm down and are you mad because you don't want the single parabeetle pic for the parabeetle article?
 * Nonono, I was trying to avoid a revert war. What got me was the sudden "lol, problem solved, YEAH" from Aipom that....really doesn't help. Especially when a vote is underway. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:38, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

SegaWiki
have you seen it? we have 5 articles, 7 users. (just me and him, according to HK-47) Help us, please.

Not just us. THere's Illegal Op, DarkCat.... H  K  4 7


 * Lets take a look....There are 1,383 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about RetroSEGA, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 5 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. XDDDD, that's an awsome figure. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 01:19, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Mariowiki Forum
Hey Ghost Jam do you have a forum account on the mariowiki forum?If so, do you wanna chat?
 * Yeah, I'm on the forum, but I don't use it that much. I don't care much for chat programs, they mess with my computer. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:18, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

 * XD Thanks, man!. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 01:19, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Cheese
I'm sure you've noticed the Cheese Craze of '07. Inquiring minds wish to know: Do you like Cheese? Mada Mada Dane
 * Just left a note there. I like the idea of user categories. But the process needs to be changed. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 01:26, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Shhh... cheese lovers live on!

Images
Hey ghost Jam can you delete the crappy images that are not useful?
 * Yes. You don't really have to ask, I check the To Be Deleted list every time I log in. 8 times out of 10, I'll set to work right then and there. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:12, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

Re: More Active Users
From what you said at Talk:Main Page: Are you saying that I think wiki edits aren't as important as being part of the community? I never said that, they're about equal. But, the reason anyone joins should be wiki then community. 19:16, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Sup
Sup Ghost Jam?
 * Monkey Butt. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:51, 27 March 2007 (EDT)

SUPPORT KIRBYWIKI!!! Max2 SEE here FOR MORE INFO!!!! IF YOU'RE READING THIS, SPEAD THE WORD!!!!
 * Done. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:43, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Ghost Jam, could you help me get started with the wiki??? if you would, the link is here Max2
 * I'd rather not get caught up with another wiki. I already edit on five (sysops on two) the way it is. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:18, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Busy
Are you busy Mr.Jam?
 * BUGS ARE NICE. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:18, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

First Sysop
Wow! I just noticed that you are the first ever sysop! Besides AgentSeeThroo who was demoted.

and Steve. Max2
 * Yeah, Steve was the first because he created the wiki. I was the next one, then AgentSeeThroo (who I haven't seen in some time). -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:20, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Deletion
Mr. Ghost Jam? Could you delete This Trouble? If you would, thanks!
 * Seems to have already been deleted. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 15:23, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Deletion of Image:Mushroombg.png
That image was used in the monobook styling sheet to apply a background all 'Shroom pages. 20:51, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Why wasn't it linked? It was on the unused images list. If an image is going to be used like that but won't be linked, a note needs to be left in the images description. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 00:37, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
 * *checks image* K. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 00:41, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

 * No. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:15, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
 * Fine. That was so blunt, it's funny.

Sup
Hey its been a while that we havent seen each other.
 * Took a break. I'll be back to deleting things in a day or two. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 17:11, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Comic
Hi Ghost Jam, I ust wanted to let you know that I'm making a sprite comic, I was wondering if you wanted to be in it as boo guy, also if you wanted to be Good or Evil. Thanks!


 * Uh...leave me out of this. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:03, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Editthis
hello mr.

im Paper Luigi DS formerly SPL and i wanted to invite you to the Users Wiki!

...Wow.
I'm sorry, but never assume an image is unused even if it says "No page links to this file". As you saw, this was a personal image for me. It's bound to be used somewhere in my User page or a sub-page. As it turns out, I was externally linking past and current revisions at User:Wayoshi/Comic. Thanks for messing that page up, I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it now. 22:31, 12 June 2007 (EDT)
 * By 'externally linking' you mean URL linked? The image didn't have a note/template telling me that it was being used so. If a file doesn't have the proper info, what am I to assume?


 * Fixing this shouldn't be a problem. If you still have the file, reupload it and change the URL link. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 22:41, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Images
That's good, I had it another link anyway, and forgot to mark that image for deletion.

Seriously. Thanks. I had forgoten that file anyway and had made it for Mr. M who know knows how to make comics (thanks to me) and didn't need that file anymore. I really had forgotten it existed... Click here to see the universe. SuperLuigi821 Oh you let the hat out of the bag, Big Top!

OMG I am so sorry! I did stuff to my page, and forgot to put the delete on them. Sorry!

Request
Can you archive the Main page talk? 11:48, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
 * Done, but not completely. The site keeps having errors, so I'll finish the job when things settle down. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:20, 16 July 2007 (EDT)
 * Someone else finished it. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:23, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Categorys
Why can I put fake ones?- Toadbert101.
 * Creates unused/invalid categories to appear on the lists. Furthermore, the current norm doesn't include user categories and any such attempts are killed on sight. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 03:45, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
 * oh.( Toadbert101 | Give a yell ) 12:07, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Strange
The nonexistent template   was deleted at 7:23 EDT this evening by Sir Grodus (category made it obsolete), and had    on it, and somehow the articles it was included in retained the effects of the delete template. Sounds like a glitch to me; anyways, fixed. 21:49, 7 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Good deal. Why was   deleted, anyway? -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 01:00, 8 September 2007 (EDT)
 * The respective category apparently took care of the content of the template. 02:03, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

Greetings
Hi there! Iv'e heard alot about you. It's nice to meet you.
 * Yes, hi! -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 16:00, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Proposal Archives
Thank you so much for your help! I wish my internet wasn't so inept. -- Son of Suns
 * No problem, just doing my job. I messed something up, though..... -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:03, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Holy hell, those two little brackets where messing with the whole thing? >_< -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:05, 15 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Yeah. Hahaha.  While I'm on your talk page, I just want to say I appreciate your hard work here, and for staying at the wiki for so long.  -- Son of Suns
 * Thank you, the appreciation is very much reciprocated. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:09, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

...
Hi I haven't seen you for awhile...
 * I've been off and on. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:53, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Proposal Joke
Our proposals page is basically the center of our community, and I guess you were bored, but let's keep it serious, thank you. 20:22, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
 * Can do. I'm surprised it ran as long as it did. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:35, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

IRC Instructions
So this is the review of what I said in chat. Make sure to have Steve add you onto the #mariowiki access list. Then every time you come in:
 * 1) Identify your name with /NickServ identify password
 * 2) After NickServ confirms you've identified, type /ChanServ op #mariowiki Ghost_Jam, and ChanServ will op you.

If your IRC client can run a set of commands at start-up like ChatZilla does, this can be all be encoded so it is done for you before even pressing a key. Look into that. 21:14, 25 November 2007 (EST)


 * Thanks. And as a note to myself, the server is irc.darkmyst.org. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 15:45, 26 November 2007 (EST)

Wayoshi
Hey why do you urge me to calm down on Washi's talk page?
 * You were getting a little out of hand there. Don't want to see you suspended for messing with a sysops. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:46, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Okay okay I'll stop bugging wayoshi and if you want I'll shape up :)

Merry Christmas
And a happy new year! :)

Blocked
Hello Ghost Jam.

I'm logged into my 9 year old son's account (he supplied credentials). He's an avid Nintendo fan, and precocious computer user.

He's been reading the Super Mario Wiki for a long time. I encouraged him to get involved, couching it as the modern version of civic responsibility. After some nudging, he finally did.

He started out honestly trying to help, but then apparently slipped into vandalism. I know he did not intended it as such: he explained that he thought it was fun to add the pages, and that since they weren't linked, nobody would notice.

As for his other edits to pages, they were well intentioned but apparently not particularly helpful. I've told him that he should limit himself, for a while, to fixing typos and such, and he's OK with that and understands why it's important to keep the quality up.

When he told me he was blocked, I probed, and he told me he had added some pages that were bogus, and I explained to him why that is really bad behavior and that he should never do such things again. I've discussed his behavior with him, and he's promised reform.

Can you unblock him and give him another chance? He and I would both appreciate a second chance.

Thanks!


 * I believe you were the one we spoke with in chat a few days ago, yes?
 * Regardless, Pseudo-dino's suspension ended a little over two days ago (it was just a three day suspension). Cheers. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 14:52, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Question
