User talk:RAP/Archive 7

Hello shortlives, I'm RAP. You may also call my first name, Ryan. I'm with a dragon I'd been with for over quite some time now, her name's Hooktail. Yeah yeah, you know that first boss from PM2? Yes, she's with me in this wiki! Anyway, drop by and talk to me once in a while! Later shortlives.

Adding collaborative videos to your Wiki
Hello,

My name is Avigail Perl and I work with all our Wiki partners here at Kaltura. As you may have heard, through a partnership with the Wikimedia Foundation, Kaltura has developed a collaborative video extension to the MediaWiki software. (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Collaborative_Video)

What this means is that ANY site using MediaWiki software can add the Kaltura collaborative video extension to its wiki easily and quickly today, by adding the software extension that is available for download. Looking at your Wiki I thought you might be interested in adding our new collaborative video extension. With this capability, any of your users can add images, videos and sounds to the collaborative videos created, or edit them using the full-featured online video editor (with full history and versioning similar to the text-wiki).

In order to add this collaborative video extension to you site, all you need to do is:

1.      Apply for a Partner ID here:  http://www.kaltura.com/index.php/cms/signup 2.     Download the Kaltura MediaWiki extension here: sourceforge.net/projects/kaltura/ 3.     Add the extension to your site

I’d love to discuss this in more detail, answer any questions and help move this forward. Thank you, Avigail

Patroller
Hey there! We're currently looking for a new patroller as Plumber retired. I'm quite unable to monitor editing because I've got a lot to do and am not online during the American day. Could you look for a new one? - 16:26, 10 February 2008 (EST)

Ban me ban me ban me
I said to ban me :( No 22:59, 11 February 2008 (EST)

Hi!
Hi RAP, welcome back!!

Renames
Uhm...I don't know if you saw it, but I didn't rename dummmmy and Dry Bones because they currently are violating the rules on User sub-pages, they don't have them linked from their user pages. And there you come and steal me my reason to bug them about this. >.> What should I do, issue warnings? - 16:23, 13 February 2008 (EST)

Image quality thing
i think doesnt need more quality, because i use them with thumb

Egg roll
I know it's not official I just thought it would be cool to have it on there sorry Koopa-Troopa

Hey Shortlife! Howya doing this late?

Sleep?
Do you ever sleep? Cuz since you live in california it's like 2 in the morning and Im here in florida at 5:50 am...

RAP!
RAP! Guess what? Xzelion-Wears-Freaky-Hats-Only-On-Mondays-And-Tuesdays-But-Sometimes-Makes-Exeptions-When-All-Of-His-Other-Hats-Are-Missing is spamming and has an unacceptable username!

Hello
Can I have my name changed to " Garlic Man " ? This is the first time ever that I have changed my name, so I'm going by the rules.
 * Hey RAP, just saying hi for no reason :P

Patroller #3
I don't think it would hurt, considering that we had a lot of spam lately, but also other work like deleting images (everyone is uploading Brawl trophy images currently, and we end up with the same images several times because of it). - 17:15, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * Uh, Patroller's can't delete images. --Blitzwing 17:20, 2 March 2008 (EST)
 * Also a point. Oh my, I don't even know the competences any more. x| See, that's why I'm letting RAP decide on this, I have to get more active on this wiki again. - 17:22, 2 March 2008 (EST)


 * I know I don't know you, but I think you and Cobold made two excellent choices for the new Patrollers. ;)
 * I'd have to agree and say that three Patrollers (four tops) would be enough for this site. *pets Hooktail* Hey, she didn't bite! That's one cool dragon you've got there! ;)

Delete some of my personal images
Hey, RAP. Can you delete these images for me? 

I've looked all over for a trusty sysop and I chose you.

Thanks a million!

P.S. If your brothers are users, may I see their userpages?

''' I'm in a dilema! EVERYTHING for Super Mario Wiki Adventures and MarioWiki Story is lost. My USB pen died. So I could either make a comeback (It'll take a LOONG time) or quit cause If I do make a comeback, My PC will be filled with Images and My PC is slow so what should I do? Continue or Quit? '''

Re: Languages
Well, you shouldn't take it all serious. ;) German yes, English duh, Swedish I'm learning in my first year, I'm coming along quite slow. Latin - we only ever learned to translate it to German, never to write our own Latin sentences. Pretty useless. L33t - n0t 4ll t00 m|_|c|-|. However, I'm currently also learning Irish Gaelic. Níl mórán Gaeilge agam. ;) - 11:42, 11 March 2008 (EDT)

Thankyy
Thanks for fixing the mistakes i made on my page:-) Blue  Koop C

Yes, i've heard of hhoktail, a battled her but i'll watch out if she is out to eat me  Blue  Koop C

Question
Could you turn your table for trophies into a template? maybe results less hard to edit the table on the artciles.

Patrollers
Okay, I have closed the patroller debate and promoted our patrollers to sysop. To keep a reasonable number of sysops, we should watch out on sysops like, and , who have been quite inactive within the last month(s), and see if a demotion would be justified. If they come back, they can of course always be considered for re-promotion. - 15:09, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * You guys can take my admin powers if you wish, since I haven't been active since August. I would, however, like it if I could have them back if I ever decide to return fully. -- 15:32, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually, I think KPH has been reasonably active. You should add Son Of Suns to that list, he hasn't edited since October. --Blitzwing 15:38, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, actually no need to add him to the list, he's too inactive. KPH2293: That's what I meant with my last sentence. Sysops are chosen for activeness, trust and wiki knowledge. When they are inactive and but then return, they don't lose their trust. We'd always be glad to welcome you back in the league. ;) - 15:44, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
 * Thank you. :) Anyway, I'll pop in occasionally, and I'll drop a line on your talk page if I ever decide to return fully. -- 15:57, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

Image Chaos
USer:Nega-Mario is uploading a rediculous amount of personal images (about 15), without even putting the PI template. Something should be done quickly. Just letting you know.


 * I did a recall to him. I looked that he was removing some images by that.

Friends?
Excuse me, RAP, but would it be all right if you and Hooktail became my friends here on the wiki? I didn't know that the proposal was added so I just deleted the section on my infobox that has my friends listed. It wasn't a cool user list, if that is what you were thinking. To see what I mean click here and tell me if that is OK. I only made one edit on the user page since your last response, so I could always undo it.

Hi
I haven't seen you for a while but how have things been going?

Pirahnas and Koopas
Hey Rappa, it's me, Jaffffey! I wanted to ask you 2 things. Number 1. Can I consider you a friend? We'll have great times together! you (as larry koopa), will ride on my (as Petey Pirahnas) back. I'll spit goop (which is really plaque from Easter(CHOCOLATE BUNNIES)) on citizens of the mushroom kingdom. Then when mario comes, you hit with the magic wand and turn him into a toothbrush to help get rid of my cavities! It'll be awesome! Number 2. Can you get me some sprites? i'd like them to be of ML:PIT Petey Pirahna with a color swap. Thanx

COMEDY PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey there! Care to sign up for my COMEDY PICS? Go to section 16 on my talk page to sign up. Sign with your sig, and leave your sprites on the page.

WarioWare Artwork
Hello, RAP, can you tell from where you got the high-quality artwork of Young Cricket and Master Mantis from WarioWare: Smooth Moves? --Grandy02 09:40, 6 April 2008 (EDT)
 * I think I already know where you got it, from the downloadable manual of the game at Nintendo.com, right? I also uploaded artwork from there. --Grandy02 06:28, 7 April 2008 (EDT)

Short Song
Hey, RAP. DarkMario here. I made a song for you last night, so here goes:

RAP,officer of the Mariowiki!

With his magic wand, and his pet Hooktail,

He'll catch those bad guys, and take em off to jail!

This lil' Koopa's a bag of trouble, so buckle down, and get ready to rumble!

RAP:I'm the Rapster, just watch me!

THE END

Heh heh...anyway, if you like it, reply at my my talk.

Hey there, RAP!
Give my title a look-see. When you're done with the sprites, can you pass them on to me so I can transform them? Yes, I DO look at your status every day because I come here everyday.

Images
For source I think it's better to put it where you got the image from (Name of website) and good job uploading good quality images!

WTF
What are you even saying? Could you just start over and elaborate more? I replace images with PNG format, because PNG format is BETTER than jpg format. I don't alter photos at all. I find original versions that haven't been saved as jpg. I don't see any logical reason to replace any of my images. Fixitup Oh..my god. How is that possible? Well you see however, some of the images you replaced were indeed of higher quality. The example you gave me, however, was amazing. If you are for sure without a doubt the image you have is better than an existing version, feel free to replace it. Just make sure you're not replacing something with less blotchy spots, please. I adore high quality art, and please, let me help you with uploading these images and what-not. A link would be very appreciated. Fixitup

Ohm-nom-nom-nom~ You can remove the link now, if you want. Thank you for this. Mwaha, the MKWii art? Just the official sites, yeah. I really want to find more art for the secret characters though, and possibly art with a whole white background. Fixitup

Images
Where did you find the smb3 enemies images like the lava lotus, roto-disc., etc.?

And also can you please upload all smb3 enemies for better quality?

Mama Mia!!!
Hello, sysop RAP? We have a certain two images that are exactly the same. I do hope you will use your wand to delete one of the images.

HEY, HEY, HEY, how is 'My Glasses Are To Big For My Face' a unaccpeble name?--Blue Koop 10:21, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

Template:Sub
Oh, okay... sorry then, just tried to help ;) 00:11, 28 April 2008 (EDT) Good work on the template, by the way :P

A vandal
Please, block per vandalizing, blanking sections and adding fanon comments on the articles  21:26, 29 April 2008 (EDT) thanks...

Yeah, I was just going to ask the same thing. He's been adding things like Luigi being a homosexual and removing things like Daisy being in the Mario Movie.
 * Thank you. By the way, you can call me Toadette. =)

why is Mohamed an innapropriate username, it's just a name for middle eastern people

Returning your message
The artwork is mostly from my old website I maintained back in 2001, and those images I got from sm128c.com (Which when they still had images, they claimed they came from Nintendo sites) and their claim I can backup because the other good chunk of those came from Nintendo's Japanese website. (Which seemed to refuse to go to flash websites until the Wii generation). The last few pieces are taken from gamehiker.com, who I know and I would be surprised if they got upset over, though I did not ask for them. If you think I should link, just shoot me an example and I'll be glad to follow it.

And I apologize for duplicates, I looked for what might already be on the site but I know some are stuffed way back into the archives somewhere. If they're any that you find just let me know or someone who can delete them.

Thanks for answering my questions
I apologize, I didn't mean to make it look like I maintained sm128c.com, I simply just got images for my long dead website from there. But in turn those came from Nintendo's offical sites who are also dead so I can't correctly source most of my pictures. However I can source the game hiker ones and I'll get on that today. Thanks again.
