User talk:Time Q/Archive 1

Welcoming
Hiya Time Q. 14:36, 31 July 2007 (EDT)

CONGLATULATION!
You edited a great wiki! And prooved the justice of our culture! Now go rest in peace our hero!

Seriously, U AR TEH BEST EDITOR EVAR! Well, after a lot of guy. Gofer


 * Great. What an honour. What am I winning? / Time Q 12:47, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Is this a cleverly disguised sarcarsm?

Gofer


 * Not sure if it's cleverly disguised but ... yeah. / Time Q 12:51, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Great, my attempt at comforting an user backfired. I officially fail. That's the second time this day.

Gofer


 * Oh I'm sorry. Maybe you need a new technique ... something like "You have been selected from 1,000,000 MarioWiki users to win a washing machine" ... like that. But thanks for filling my talk page :) / Time Q 13:01, 9 August 2007 (EDT)
 * Well, I suppose I scared more user than I helped. But meh. its my style.

Gofer


 * Hehe, it's ok I guess. So we both seem to be a bit (too?) sarcastic. / Time Q 13:17, 9 August 2007 (EDT)


 * Let's say that you are sarcatic and that I am an error of nature.

Gofer


 * Haha. Sounds okay to me. / Time Q 13:33, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

Capitalizing
Even if the original title in German had some words uncapitalized, please try to capitalize all words for our English conventions when naming German comic articles, thanks. , keep up the great work on objects in SMW & out-of-US comic strips, 18:23, 9 August 2007 (EDT)


 * Sure, I'll do this in future. Thanks for the compliment ;) / Time Q 18:25, 9 August 2007 (EDT)

Reverting Vandalism
Thanks for reverting the vandal's edits, i aplogize ofr not being up to help revert. But once again, Thank you. Xzelion


 * np, just had nothing better to do. ;) / Time Q 11:42, 21 August 2007 (EDT)

Sprites
Where do you find sprites from?Like the giant gate sprite?
 * I took a screenshot from a rom... not official enough? / Time Q 10:16, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

Re: Street Fighter Characters
Lol, No Problem! Would you happen to have their images thought?

Cool thanks! Oh and I love your work on the Club Nintendo comics!

Club Nintendo comics
Hello, Time Q. First, I have to say you that your work on the Club Nintendo comics is excellent, keep it up! :-) But I also have to ask something: I clearly remember that you uploaded images for some comics, like "Mario will hoch hinaus" and "Wart steht unter Strom", in the last days. You also added external links to the PDF versions of the comics. But I can't see all this anymore, what happened? --Grandy02 06:43, 23 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Thanks :) But you were the one who created the Club Nintendo article; without this article I wouldn't even have got the idea of making articles about these comics ;) Yeah, obviously these edits all got lost - there was an error with the software or something, I just read it on the forums... That's annoying, maybe I'll add it later again. Cheers / Time Q 09:04, 23 September 2007 (EDT)
 * Thanks, too! :-) Did you also know that there is another German Mario comic printed in a children's book? The book is called "Super Mario Bros.: Spiele und Geschichten" ("games and stories") and the comic in it is named "Die Mario Bros. im Zirkus" ("in circus"), also three text stories with pictures are included. The content is mostly based on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!. However, there is almost no information about it on the Internet, but here is the cover at least. --Grandy02 12:28, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Cool, thanks for the info. Haven't known about it yet. I guess you don't have this comic? / Time Q 12:55, 24 September 2007 (EDT)
 * I have the book, without it I wouldn't know what's in. --Grandy02 12:58, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Haha, that's right. Is it possible for you to scan it? Or could you make an article about it maybe? / Time Q 13:00, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * I already planned to make an article someday if no one else does it. But currently I don't have the time to scan it. Do you mean a scan for the public or a scan only for you? But I'm afraid of copyright infringement. I think you know that not less German companies are good at sending reminders. --Grandy02 13:04, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Yeah, if you plan to make this article, that's alright (it seems to be a rare book, so I don't think anyone else will do it ;)), otherwise you could have uploaded it somewhere and sent the link to people who want it... I think that'd be safe, more or less. / Time Q 13:09, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Well, it isn't that rare, I see it sometimes on eBay Germany. By the way, it's from 1991. Even Amazon has an entry for it (but no picture). --Grandy02 13:13, 24 September 2007 (EDT)


 * Ah, okay. Well then, have fun making the article ;), I think I will go on working on the Club Nintendo stories tomorrow ... btw, feel free to improve them and re-add external links and such ;) / Time Q 13:17, 24 September 2007 (EDT)

Theused
Thank god...i was using a translator and it took forever to type everything into the translator lol...but i hope that site i put up helped =]
 * Sorry, but personaly I think its article (it needs work) matierial because it is considered a Mario comic.
 * Ok, I have started to discuss on some pages but I will talk more tommorrow. It's late I got to go.

Chucky
Lol ok, thought someone messed up the link.

Question
I wanted to make a proposal that people start looking at the wanted links page and start fixing them or making articles but i wanted to know if that would even be a good idea...

Theused again...
aye buddeh lol i have a question... will you please read Sag niemals Holerö - Teil 1 & 2 for me and give me a breif summary, its not that hard or that much to ask...:/ http://www.e-lation.net/site/comics.html (find comics there)
 * I'll do it when I find some time. BTW, please don't remove your old messages from my talk page. 06:20, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

Hyperlinks
In my Mario Party DS articles the resaon I didn't add hyperlinks were because I was on holia in SWpai, and I was on a Spanish computer. They have the buttons that make the hyperlinks, but I don't know how to put them on, so the only way to do it was copy and paste, and I really didn't have time because it is 1 euro for 10 minutes! I wasgoing to put the hyperlinks in today. User:Torngentleman2 12:40, 1st January 008 (EDT)

Spiny Page
Hi there. IS here. About the Spiny page... The "Tattle" part of the SPM box is not letting me enter any words. So I decided to put it outside the box... Not the greatest idea, but still... Could you check it out? InfectedShroom. |Talk|Reviews|
 * Well, there seems to be a problem with the template... None of the pages that use this template have any info in the Tattle part. That's strange, but I know nothing about coding, so I can't repair it... I'll remove my oppose vote nevertheless. 13:03, 6 January 2008 (EST)

Thanks
Yea, thanks for helping me out with the signature thing. Toadette 4evur 16:39, 22 January 2008 (EST)

MUSE?!?!?
You like the band Muse? Cuz I saw your link to Musewiki. I think Muse is awesome. Sooo... Am I mistaken?


 * You're not mistaken, Muse is great :) "Origin of Symmetry" is my all-time favourite album. Mario and Muse, quite a strange combination, but why not ;) (Oh well, I should update my user page though... I believe I've never updated it since I registered here, which was about half a year ago...) 01:29, 29 January 2008 (EST)
 * That's awesome. I have no favorite album, but some songs are AWESOME. Knights of Cydonia, Newborn, Sing for Absolution... All incredible. along with lots of others, I just listed off the first one that came to my head. :P


 * New Born is simply heaven on earth :) You seem to like Radiohead too. Unfortunately, I don't know many songs by the band yet, but I really want to get into them. Which album would you recommend to me? (My brother has the Kid A album, but I guess that goes a bit too far for a beginner like me :P) 04:09, 30 January 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah, Kid A is one of their more... extreme albums. Probably their weirdest as well. I'd reccommend their new one: In Rainbows. The Bends is also very good, although you won't get the full expirience if you just get that one, as it's one of their oldest. So In Rainbows would be the best for now. If you like it, then listen to Kid A or Amnesiac. :P


 * Darn, I've already started to listen to Kid A ;) Actually I like "Idioteque" quite a lot... the rest is really a bit too progressive for me right now. Thanks for your recommendations. 09:05, 1 February 2008 (EST)
 * No Problem. Idioteque is a really awesome song. :P I actually just got Hullabaloo Soundtrack last night. It's awesome. :P


 * Yeah, Hullabaloo Soundtrack is easily one of Muse's best albums... even if it's just a b-side compilation. Yay for Shrinking Universe, Recess, and The Gallery! Oh, and the live disc is awesome as well. 06:54, 2 February 2008 (EST)


 * I actually didn't get the live parts... I didn't have enough money on Itunes. :( But My favorite is Nature_1. Too old to feel an earthquake? AWESOME. :P They're all great songs. :D


 * Oh, you got it online. I prefer physical releases, but that's just a matter of taste I guess :) You may want to buy the Hullabaloo DVD sometime, it has all the live tracks from the CD release and many more... great DVD!! 13:03, 2 February 2008 (EST)


 * I see... Oh, BTW, I don't know why people compare Radiohead to Muse. They are completly different.


 * True. Of course there are some similarities, but so are there between thousands of bands. Some people even compare Coldplay to Radiohead and Muse... that's ridiculous! 14:58, 2 February 2008 (EST)


 * Well, some of Radiohead's first albums were somewhat like Coldplay. But no longer. And Muse is totally seperate from both of them. But... I never heard Showbiz. Was that anything like anyone else?


 * Actually, "Showbiz" is considered to be the most Radiohead-ish Muse album. I can't evaluate this of course ;) So, if you think Muse don't sound like Radiohead at all, give "Showbiz" a listen. Maybe it proves you wrong :P 14:29, 3 February 2008 (EST)


 * Hmmm... I just might have to do that... Oh, By the way, I'm making a comic based off of Muse's Exo-Politics song. It's on Userpedia. It's gonna be pretty cool. InfectedShroom.[[Image:infectoicon.png]]


 * Cool. I don't really get the lyrics of this song though ;), seems like it's about conspiracy theories and the whole thing... In fact I think Matt even said this once. 16:24, 3 February 2008 (EST)


 * Yeah, from what I hear, It's about a conspiracy that the government will stage and alien attack. Kinda wierd, but hey, sounds pretty cool. :P InfectedShroom.[[Image:infectoicon.png]]


 * Yeah ;) After all, I love Muse not really for their lyrics, but for their music. (Though there are some songs with great lyrics of course, like "Take a Bow" or "Thoughts of a Dying Atheist" or "Fury".) 16:46, 3 February 2008 (EST)


 * Take a Bow is awesome. Every word is... moving. :P

????
I WAS watching that movie I talked about in that comment you deleted!
 * But nobody actually cares which movie you were watching. Please stay to the topic on FA nomination pages. 18:10, 29 January 2008 (EST)


 * Yeah, I just did that there in case Cobold came by because we were arguing and I wasn't in the mood to be disturbed. Toadette 4evur 19:38, 29 January 2008 (EST)

Sorry...
I'm sorry for being rude toward you on the proposal page. I explain everything in my most recent comment there, so please check it out. Toadette 4evur 19:02, 5 February 2008 (EST) *I was a jerk...=(*
 * I'll accept your apology, but I don't think we need such short-tempered users here, so I once again ask you to think about any changes you make before hitting the "Save Page" button. 19:06, 5 February 2008 (EST)
 * I'm not usually THAT short tempered, but when I get really stressed, I set like a match thrown in gas. Toadette 4evur *(takes deep breaths)*

Thanks
For reverting my talk page. :)

I see...
I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. I should've been nicer about it. I've been kinda angry at this place for a little now, so I just jumped to conclusions. I'm sorry. I've felt like an idiot for a couple days now... I'll feel normal again once this stupid proposal is done. >_>

I'm sorry for accusing you of hating me, too. Toadette 4evur 19:23, 7 February 2008 (EST) *=)*


 * Don't worry, I understand that it may seem like I hate you, as I don't agree with you on this topic at all. But people are different, that's how it is. Would be silly to hate someone just because of some discrepancies. 19:35, 7 February 2008 (EST)
 * Alright, cool. I'm glad that whole mess is over. :)

Hyper Chondriac Music
Alright, so the first time I listened to Hyper Chondriac Music (by Muse on Hullabaloo Soundtrack), I recognized the lyrics. But I can't find them in any other song! So I decided to ask MarioWiki's resident Muse expert. :P But really, do some of the lyrics from that song appear in another song by them? Particularly the "you wanted more... Than I could give..." part...
 * Yeah, the lyrics are almost the same as in "Hyper Music" from the album "Origin of Symmetry." It's basically a slowed-down version of the song. 09:15, 21 February 2008 (EST)
 * Hyper Music! Duh! *Hits head* Thanks. I'm gonna listen to them both now. :P
 * Hehe. Obvious, wasn't it? Enjoy them, I'm going to bed now (it's late here in Europe). 19:03, 21 February 2008 (EST)

Hey...
Nice job archiving the proposal page :P. I used to archive it, but man, I am getting too soft for this. --Blitzwing 17:49, 21 February 2008 (EST)
 * Hahaha, yeah, archiving is a pain great fun. "Too soft", what do you mean by that? 17:58, 21 February 2008 (EST)
 * Nothing in particular. I would have said "too old", but considering I only joigned this wiki since one year, it isn't really appopriate, ehehehe. --Blitzwing 18:03, 21 February 2008 (EST)
 * Ah, ok. I guess I'm "too young" to understand ^^ Maybe in two or three months. 18:06, 21 February 2008 (EST)

Re: Replying to comments
Right. By the way, are you against hiding the Bob Hoskins quote and putting a note of the swearing, or it that fine with you?

sorry to bother you
but you should really check out my latest question on this page

Re: Peach FA nomination
OK.

Sure.

Go ahead.

Interestinglys
Hey, thanks for helping me. The list of articles is endless (225 articles left), and then there's Oddly, Strangely and all that. Any help is appreciated. ;) - 09:20, 30 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks for that link; if I'm bored I know what to do ;) This was just an "exceptional case" though (I made that article I removed the "interestingly" from, so I knew there was something wrong with it). 09:35, 30 March 2008 (EDT)

Proposal Vote
I dunno... I'm sorta random, so I just said that for the sake of... Saying something. :P I know you won't forget, besides, you are right, it will be removed soon. Two Sysops are supporting its removal, so... Yeah. (would've been Three Sysops, but everyone keeps ignoring you. :\)

Ehhhhhhhhh... You are still good for the job. If I were to elect two Users to replace two Sysops, I'd pick you and Coincollector to replace Phoenix Rider and Ghost Jam. ;)
 * Hmmm. Replace Ghost Jam with YellowYoshi398 and you got exactly my thoughts here. --Blitzwing 11:42, 31 March 2008 (EDT)

Yeeeeeeeeah... If you saw what Ghost Jam said to me, you'd understand why I want him out. :')

Promotion to Sysop
Congratulation! What else can I say? -
 * Thanks :) 06:21, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

Hooray! Congrats for the promotion of reaching to a sysop! Due to the hard work on targeting on Club Nintendo comics to be written, wiki maintainence, and expanding articles; you are qualifed to replace Phoenix Rider! :P I see a girl roaring for this! And it's Hooktail alright... *shifty* BTW, I'm the once who promoted you. ;P
 * Cool, thanks. I'm pretty surprised. Let's hope I will use my new powers reasonably :P 06:28, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

Pokemon DP would also congratulate you, but he's blocked. So, he told me to congratulate you (again) for him. Pokemon DP says "congrats!". --Blitzwing 06:24, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Okay, tell him that I appreciate his congratulations too, but wait, he can still read this, right? ;) 06:28, 12 April 2008 (EDT)
 * As a regular, unregistered user, yes. Don't know what he's thinking, blocking himself. Anyway, congratulations! - 07:15, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

Congratulations TimeQ!!!! Princess Grapes Butterfly 07:57, 12 April 2008 (EDT)

Hey, yeah, congrats. Great job! Pheonix was pretty inactive... Anyway, have fun. :D
 * Congrats! You've done a lot of good work, and you deserve this position.
 * Say, since you're a Sysop, would you care to move to "Category:Articles Referring Directly to the Reader"?

Thanks people! Stooben: Okay, I moved it, hope it works. 05:09, 13 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I tested the "Rewrite-you" template on my userpage and it worked; the category is there too. Good job.

So, now that I'm unblocked, I decided to give you a proper congratulations. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PROMOTION!!

Lol, thanks. :P BTW, do you know what "Sprites" are? Cos' the Wiki Users on Userpedia would like to know what you want your sprites to be, since we make sprite comics and such. Kiddy, I know, but still. :P

Heh-heh, that's fine. I already started a debate on what your sprites should be, so we can make some ourselves. :P Again, CONGRATS! I know you'll do a fine job! You've already done a good job as it is. Oooooo, small text!

No problemo! And, "laud"? Hold up there, sonny, you lost me with your hip young lingo! :P

Lol. Never heard the word before. But, I'm Australian, maybe we don't use that kind of language... I make it sound bad, don't I? :P Wait, this just got amazingly off-topic, didn't it? Isn't this the "Promotion" section? ...What in the world am I talking about? XP ALL HAIL TIME Q! ALL HAIL TIME Q!

Lol, OK. I'll just stop this with: CONGRATULATIONS FOR THE 64TH TIME! :P

Hey Congrats! Even though i don't apparently know you, i've seen your work with the club nintendo! Very Nice :D

OOps
Aw, crap, are you serious? It said it was 15:00 on the recent changes. My mistake! ;)
 * Got it. I think I changed it in my preferences, so I should have the right time now. :D Thanks. ;)

Friend
I think we can be friends. Do you want to?
 * Uh, I don't know what you mean by "friends"... if "accepting each other" is what you mean, then I can agree :P 05:30, 25 April 2008 (EDT) (No offense, but my definition of "friends" is different. Just like my definition of "hate" is a bit different than yours.)

Sysop
Heh, since you're the only Sysop around can you block he spammed a couple of pages & created two spam articles  and.
 * Done, thanks for letting me know and sorry for not noticing it earlier :P 14:36, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

?
Yay! I'm not the only one online!
 * I redid my vote on the Toad proposal if you want to see it.
 * Ok, I visit Recent Changes regularly, so I already noticed that ;) Not sure though if your vote is valid, because what you as an opposer should do imo is to prove Ultimatetoad's assumption that Nintendo makes no distinction between the character and the species Toad wrong. 15:24, 27 April 2008 (EDT)

Hey, have you seen this?
 * Not before you pointed me to it, thanks. I left a comment on the talk page, in case you care ;) 13:32, 28 April 2008 (EDT)

Proposial
Yes. I am very sorry. I wasn't sure what had happened when it did. Should I just press the history and fix it ? Again, I am very sorry.

User:MC Hammer Bro.

Thank you Time Q.

Hiya!

Finally...
I kept my promise. To show you your sprites when they are done:

http://www.userpedia.scribblewiki.com/images/userpedia/e/e3/TimeQ.png

We actually didn't make a final decision yet, but Plumber just made these out of the blue, and basically said "THESE ARE THE SPRITES WE'RE USING!" without talking to anyone else... Can't say I'm happy about that, but at least you got sprites now. :P Of course, your opinion is needed. Don't like 'em, then we can go back and make something better. ;)


 * LOL. Well, it's not what I expected. (Can't say what I expected though :P) Not bad, not bad. Yeah, that's my opinion basically. Not exactly a great help for you, right? ;) Oh, I don't know if the "caption" above the sprites is important in any way, but if it is, you should remove "uestions", 'cause that's just part of the signature, not of the actual name. So, well, I'm fine with the sprites, but if you're not happy with them you can also make new ones, do as you please :P 06:43, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Lots of people are saying to use them, so... My one opinion won't really matter. Always remember to pay attention to others opinions. Everyone thought you'd work well as a Magikoopa because... I don't know why, really. The wisdom, maybe? :P Better than the original idea... Blitzwing wanted you to be T.T. :| Freaky. The Time Questions thing has become recurring now. Maybe it could be used in Wiki fanon? :P


 * Heh heh, the wisdom, yeah. Or the evilness, lol. Ok, if people agree that the sprites are good, then it's fine. I like the T.T. idea actually ;D It's a bit obvious ("Time"...), but still. 10:44, 30 April 2008 (EDT)


 * Hey, what do you think of this userart I did of you?

http://userpedia.scribblewiki.com/images/userpedia/c/cd/TimeQ_Userart.png
 * Uh yeah, looks nice. You know, I don't really care about sprites and userart and such, but yeah, it looks fine. 10:54, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I know. Cobold dosen't either, bu it matters on Userpedia. =)
 * Haha, okay. It must be hard to think of sprites for a user who isn't really involved in the community. ;) 11:09, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Flaming?
Ok, Fixit is on my nerves again. I replied to one of his comments on the relationship proposal, could you check it and tell me if I'm flaming him, 'cause if I am I can change it so it's nicer. Thanks.
 * Sorry for late reply. I don't think you've been flaming him, sounds reasonable what you said. 18:32, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Ok. Thanks. I'm suprised I didn't flame him. I've been in a not-the-best mood today then that happened. Anyway, gotta talk to DP! Thanks again!
 * I'm gonna need some help merging all of those recipes onto 1 page. Can you lend me a hand?
 * Uh, I don't think I'm the best one to choose for helping you... actually I don't know anything about the recipes (which is why I haven't voted on the proposal, by the way), so I probably wouldn't do a good job, sorry. Plus, I'm offline now. ;) 18:48, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I've been talking with Cobold but he logged off before I could get a reply from him. Fixit left me a comment on the Proposal that I think could be questionable for flaming. The very first sentance in the comment is "You are hopeless".
 * Blitzwing already warned him for exactly this sentence, I think. 17:11, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Blitz just got flamed
What the header said. *Hi*
 * You mean, on his talk page? Nah, I don't think that counts as flaming. 05:46, 4 May 2008 (EDT)

After re-reading it I realized that. But I think it's pathetic how everything is MY fault around him.
 * To judge that, I would have to trace back the whole discussion. I don't really know what it's all about, is it only the quotes thing? Or am I missing something? 00:31, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Showbiz
Hey, Time. I just got Showbiz by Muse, and I can in fact concur that it does sound a bit like Radiohead. :P
 * Haha, indeed. Congratulations for buying a great album, by the way :P Even though it's their weakest in my opinion. I just don't like "Falling Down" and "Overdue". But most of the other songs are awesome. 00:31, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, it was really cheap off of some Russian site, so I thought, "What the heck," and bought it. :P "Falling Down" is rather odd. :O
 * Have you got all albums by Muse now? Recently a live CD/DVD was released ("HAARP"), this one is also great. 04:05, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Birthday
Thank you! :) 14:15, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Stooby
Please tell Stooby that I say happy B-day to him because I can't access to his talk page for some reasons.
 * Alright, I told him so. 17:57, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks for passing on the message. ;) 18:00, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Shoo Da Woop
'ello thar, fellow System Operator. I'm considering deleting User:X06 since the user has been blocked indefinitely, and that page is so full of venom that it could choke Chuck Norris. However, it would create an Armada of red links, and well, I'm not too sure. What's your stance on this? Blitzwing
 * You're right, that page is full of nonsense and flaming. Considering this, I think we can delete it. And red links aren't really a problem, in my opinion. Better ask yet another sysop about this though, as I'm not too sure as well. 09:42, 8 May 2008 (EDT) And LOL about the Chuck Norris thing :P

We didn't remove Max2... Just pointing that out; I'm neutral on this topic.
 * True... Generally I support freedom of speech, but if we fight flames on this wiki, why should we tolerate such user pages? 10:05, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

RE: Proposal
OOps, lemme change that. Thanks for telling me, BTW. ;)
 * Yeah, to justify myself, I usually don't just put that, unless everyone has said what I was gonna say. :P In this case, well, my vote was removed twice. XD But yeah, thanks again for telling me.

Fake games
I saw a few articles about fake games such as, ,and

They just got deleted. sorry

RE: AR-CHI-VING
Ehehe, lol. For some reasons, I somehow miss archiving the proposals. And LOL at that old message. I was pretty stupid back then... :P --Blitzwing 16:45, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

Spammer
Please block. I've repeatedly reverted his spamming, and now he keeps removing warnings from his talk page. I also have reason to believe that he's a sockpuppet of, due to some recent uploads of his. Blitzwing has yet to respond, and you're the only Sysop around apparently. 17:29, 18 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Never mind. Blitz responded. 21:25, 18 May 2008 (EDT)

thank you!
thank you for seting up my userbox!

i really apreciate it!

kingbowser99

Worm Hole
Did you even take time to read my argument...
 * I know that :| (not to get lippy with you lol) but the wikipedia version is too confusing (not for me i did a project on physics..)for a regular person...anyways this was FOR videogames and not a real worm hole. I might make it again but we need alot more people to discuss it.
 * I'm usng a translator...

Edits
Ok sorry, I'll try its a bad habbit.

That Sal-out article
Even if that article was not that well-written and referred directly to the reader, I don't think it was that bad, Certainly not on the level of say, "In The Cloud". I fail to see why it didn't "even deserve the Rewrite tag". --Blitzwing 14:10, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, it was also full of opinion and written not only in second, but also first person... but now that I read it again, I must admit it had some facts that might be good enough for an article with rewrite tag. So maybe you're right, you can restore it if you want... sorry. 14:17, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
 * 'K. Article has been restored. --Blitzwing 14:32, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

Smoke is Back
Okay, once again, you are the ONLY Sysop online according to the "whosonline" thing. Please block. He vandalized, I reverted, now he needs to be blocked like his last 3,000 sockpuppets. 15:54, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Done. Thanks for pointing out. 15:57, 24 May 2008 (EDT)
 * No problem. I'm just glad you were around to block him before he vandalized again. :) 15:58, 24 May 2008 (EDT)

Daisy
Can you protect the Daisy article? There is an edit war starting. Stooby put on the Citation template but I doubt that will do much.
 * Let's see. Maybe the tag will help. I'm still all for leaving that piece of info out, as long as we have no source to point to. The citation template seems to be a good compromise though. 15:00, 25 May 2008 (EDT)
 * OK. Thanks.
 * Smoke has another sockpuppet that he made. It's something dealing with Xze.
 * Thanks! Blocked. 13:19, 26 May 2008 (EDT)
 * No prob.

Image
There is an image that is marked as unused, but it is being used in a signature. Do you know of a way that could make it so it doesn't accidentally get deleted? It is called Image:Birdoshi.JPG
 * I have no idea, sorry. I thought the message "This image is a personal image in the signature of Birdoshi" would be good enough to mark it as being used. 13:54, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Uh, what just came to my mind: When Birdoshi uses her signature on a talk page, this page will be listed on the image page, just like it's the case with Theused's sig image, for example. 13:59, 27 May 2008 (EDT)
 * OK. I thought it might have been a glitch or something.

How are you?
Hello Time Q!!, how are you?
 * I'm fine, thanks. 17:06, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome!!, and, can you help me with my personal image(Birdo personality.JPG), please?
 * What exactly are you planning to do with this image? You put the "delete" template on it; why? 17:20, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

Well, with this image, I have 5 personal images
 * Okay, so I'm going to remove the image, if you agree. Do you need some other help with your images? 17:25, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

Uuumm, not, this is all, thanks!!! Time Q!!

Hey! look my image: Birdo and Yoshi!, I made this image!
 * It's a neat signature. Fits your name very well. ;) 17:38, 27 May 2008 (EDT)

Hey!! ^.^ thanks!!!!!

Talk to you soon!, Time Q!, bye bye!!

Proposal
Hey, Time. I plan on making a proposal to change (or hopefully repeal) the Featured Article Voting Proposal by Stumpers. I know that you dislike the system, as there are many faults, and was wondering if I could use your help in my proposal. Just wondering if I could add your name to the proposal. And your arguments are fantastic. :D
 * Thanks! I also thought about making such a proposal, and I think we could win. Many people who supported Stumpers' proposal probably thought "Hey, remove useless votes, that sounds good, so let's support". I don't think that these users would oppose our proposal. Not to mention those users who just read the proposal description and don't care about what is brought up in the comments (I don't blame them). There's also Cobold, who hasn't voted on Stumpers' proposal, but seems to be against the new system. So, uhm, let's do that. Just to make sure I got you right: You want to make the proposal, and you want me to look over it, right? And, basically, you want to repeal the proposal, so that everything will be as it was before? Sounds good. I actually like Stumpers' idea of discussing oppose votes though. Do you think we should keep this part? 04:53, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Hmm... Yeah, the ability to remove impossible opposes would be rather helpful, like in the Smithy nomination. Maybe we could make a separate proposal afterwards? I'm not sure. And yes, I want everything as it was before (:P), and I would like you to look the proposal over and assist the arguments during the day when I'm at school. :P By the way, I'll probably make the proposal tonight or tomorrow. ;)
 * Okay. Maybe you could show it to me, before posting it on the proposals page, just to make sure that we include as many arguments as possible right from the start. (If we add that later to the comments section, some users probably won't read it.) However, I don't think that making two separate proposals (first repealing, then restoring the possibility to discuss oppose votes) is such a good idea. We should combine both points to one proposal IMHO. 11:45, 28 May 2008 (EDT)
 * OK. I'll write out my plan for you later tonight. ;)

OK, here's my plan for the proposal. There may be some major fallacies involved, but they can convince people. :S

Repeal "Featured Article Voting Modification"
I'll just cut to the chase here: I propose we repeal this proposal.

Now, this proposal was accepted very well. Many people thought that it would be the best option available for the wiki. It seemed so at the time. However, there are many faults in this system:


 * As per this comment, the votes can be removed as soon as three users call for the deletion of a vote. This can mean a five-minute discussion and then a deletion of any vote.
 * The original proposal said: "ONLY FAN VOTES WITHOUT FURTHER REASONING [...] CAN BE REMOVED!" Now look at one of the support votes for Paper Mario: "Awsome!" It is obvious that it is a vote without further reasoning. It is anything but obvious, however, that it is a fan vote, because it possibly refers to the quality of the article. So, can this vote be removed or not? Pointless discussions could evolve around issues like this.
 * Flame wars could be a big factor in this system. If a (*ahem* volatile) user opposes a vote of another easily distressed user, it could be a long and bad flame war, and would probably draw other users in. This would cause tension and distrust between the users and may lead to other problems.
 * Anyone who opposes a removal does not need to give a reason. Take the comments of this page for example. Time Q is able to just oppose the removal and is not forced to give his thoughts on why it should stay.
 * It's a useless system. One single oppose vote can cancel out an infinite number of support votes. Which gives us the question: Why do we need this system in the first place? Also, only five support votes are necessary to Feature an article with no opposes. So, most of the time, there are already enough legit votes to feature an article even if all the fan votes are removed.

To cut a long story short, the new system tries to regulate things ("useless" support votes) that don't need to be regulated (because support votes don't really matter). There is no need whatsoever to regulate support votes. If the rules were simple and clear, we could accept them (even though they would still be rather useless), but they pose several problems, as pointed out above. There was one good thing about this proposal, however. This was the following portion: "[...]OPPOSE VOTES THAT ARE NOT CLARIFIED CAN BE REMOVED[...]"This was the one good thing because it allowed users to get rid of oppose votes that were impossible to appease or unneeded to the article. I also propose that, after repealing the current system, that we restore this option for users. The restoration would come with some differences from the original proposal, however: Five users, including a sysop, must vote to remove the vote, and each remover must have a valid reason for the removal.

You now have our opinions. Users of the MarioWiki, you must now vote on what you think is best. Take your time, review our points, and make sure that you make the best decision possible.

* Insert Proposer and deadline stuff here*

OK, so that's it. I may have contradicted myself, but I hope not. Also, please embellish it with whatever you think is best. I am not sure that we should add the sysop voting part, but it might be good, and so that everyone knows the decision is final. And did you like my conclusion? :P

You can either add the edited version of the proposal to my talk page or yours. Yours gets less traffic, so it may be best. But yeah, I hope this goes through, ;)


 * All in all, this one looks pretty good, thanks for your work. I think we should leave out the second point though: Stumpers' point was that users cannot team up to remove any vote. He said that only fan votes can be removed. The vote must actually be invalid. However, we can actually turn this into one of our arguments. So I replaced the second point with what I think is more appropriate. Also, I'm not sure about your "empty FA page" point. If all votes were removed, we could easily delete the nomination page. I think we should remove that point (possibly that's one of your "fallacies", but it looks unprofessional if we have points like this). Similar issue with the "rules" thing: It's true that the new rules are not laid down in the wiki yet, but this could easily be done, making our point invalid. I also added some sort of summary to the proposal. "Users and regular members of the wiki" - what do you mean by that? Probably something like "Sysops and regular members", right? And, what's the "Also," for, right before "You now have our opinions"; is there something missing? Aside from that, good proposal. Hopefully it will convince people. 04:21, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
 * Alright, cool. The "also" was a typo. :P And I removed the rule thing, as well. OK, I'll go post it on the proposals page... Go ahead and edit whatever you want when it's up there. ;)

Nintendo Wii and EA
could you block for a while? the user has been spamming the wiki... -- 17:27, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
 * I gave him a last warning, but he seems to have quit anyway. 17:34, 29 May 2008 (EDT)
 * OK -- 17:36, 29 May 2008 (EDT)

Featured Nominations
Under the FANOMSTAT template, the "passed" line says "WHEN IT IS AT LEAST 5/0, PUT TIME OF 5TH SUPPORT OR REMOVAL OF LAST OPPOSE IN SAME FORMAT". So, as soon as there's a 5th support, with no oppose, can I just put it down as passed? I was just a little unsure. You seemed like the guy who would know.
 * Sorry for late reply. Probably you already know the answer, but in case you don't: Yeah, 5 supports and no opposes means that you can put in the time when the fifth support vote was added. 06:20, 1 June 2008 (EDT)
