Hi Walkazo. Sorry to bother you on an occasion like this, but I have an issue with {{User|TomBoy}}.

I would like some assistance. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 22:41, 15 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Yeah, we've had our eye on them for a few days: the Reminder didn't take, but maybe the Warning will. Just try not to get riled up about it, and let another admin know if it keeps up. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 15:55, 16 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
==Issue with a user== | |||
If I'm getting a warring for edit warring, shouldn't the other user as well? It takes to to have a war. Seems unfair. [[User:TomBoy|TomBoy]] ([[User talk:TomBoy|talk]]) 16:13, 16 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
:The user came to you and admitted she was edit warring with me, and tired to paint it as if I made no attempt at communicating the issue out with them. In the case of edit warring, both people are in the wrong if the person who tries to undo the other person's edit in the first place, doesn't try to talk it out as far as it should be talked out. I know unfair treatment when I'm on the unfair end of it. The last thing I had said before getting this warning was to her that I was done and I basically said I was done with trying to get it to the version I still feel was right. Further, on a slightly related subject to this whole matter, look at Waluigi's page, then at Daisy's. His is a featured article why? The Daisy page is far better. The way I'm being treated on this wiki reflects on the treatment the character's page is getting, as it all connects to me trying to better her page. Call me paranoid, but I'd say it's pretty obvious people with "power" on here are misusing it to treat things with their personal opinions first and wiki quality and decency second.

::There is quite a difference between ''reverting'' and ''remaking'' the edits. What BLOF did by contacting an admin to deal with the situation was the right thing to do. Your [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Baby_Luigi&diff=prev&oldid=1551317 post-warning comments comments] haven't helped your case either; further perpetuating the argument after an admin has told you to stop is not only ignoring the warning, but is also undermining the authority of said administrator, especially when you start accusing her of bias and power abuse. Stop it now or I will gladly give you another warning. --{{User:Tucayo/sig}} 16:28, 17 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
== Question == | |||
Can you appeal another user's warning? Because I feel [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Unshy_Guy&diff=1553428&oldid=1553379 this] may have been unfairly given, because if the information the user had put in could be backed (I'm not saying it's speculation, just there could be the possibility of untruthfulness) then the edit is entirely valid. [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Iced_Land&curid=6897&diff=1553410&oldid=1538289 this] is the information in question. {{User|Yoshi876}} | |||
:Hmm, good question. I think it'd be best if users only appeal their own warnings, rather than someone swooping in and speaking on their behalf or whatever. You could talk to the user and encourage them to appeal, since the warning seems a ''little'' harsh (although not completely unreasonable, so it's a grey area that could go either way). - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 19:48, 21 September 2013 (EDT) | |||
== Proposal == | |||
After reading your point, and other user's points I think the proposal should be archived. Although I originally thought that it'd be an easy change, some think it may not and on further reflection it may potentially worry new users who can't adapt to the writing style and they may decide to stop editing. May I withdraw it? {{User|Yoshi876}} | |||
:Never mind, I misread the withdrawing within 3 days of creation. {{User|Yoshi876}} | |||
==Scripts== | |||
Why exactly are all the scripts being deleted? And shouldn't they have the pending deletion notice on them? {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 18:17, 5 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Like it says on the SiteNotice, [[mb:posts/1255992|see here for more info]]. Basically, we're an encyclopedia: we summarize the games, not reproduce all their content. If you wanna make full scripts, go to GameFAQs or something - it's not our place to do it here. The pages don't have pending deletion tags yet because they're going to be deleted after a few days, rather than ASAP. Once the admins agree on a date to delete them, I was planning to put specific notices to that effect on the pages. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] | |||
:::The funny thing is that (specifically the Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Script) it wasn't anywhere near to being "complete". Anything else that's being deleted (other than scripts)? {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 14:52, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
::::Completing it was the goal. We just stopped it before more effort could be put towards a project idea that was never even formally proposed or approved in the first place. The Media files on [[The Year of Luigi Sound Selection]] are also going to be deleted: uploading the contents of an entire CD was another questionable endeavour that was never approved. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 16:25, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::::What's with all the cutting-back? Is there a worry about copyrights? Because really the Wiki as a whole is full of copyrighted material (ex. images, information, etc.) {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 16:39, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::::I'm asking so many questions because my work is mainly being deleted. 1. I uploaded the Media files to [[The Year of Luigi Sound Selection]] (no one said I couldn't and I was hoping to upload music to other pages as well). 2. I started the [[Script_of_Mario_%26_Luigi:_Dream_Team|Script of ''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team'']] (wasn't able to get very far in completing it, then someone was adding to it). {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 19:44, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::::::There's a difference between summarizing and documenting stuff as an encyclopedia, and providing a complete alternative to a game. People shouldn't come here to read the entire script of an RPG, and they shouldn't come here to listen to a whole CD - that's when the lines get blurry. So better safe than sorry. The forum thread linked to in the SiteNotices and in my first reply should have everything explained. Bad luck that you happen to be involved in the projects that were testing the limits of our coverage, but when you add to a wiki, it ''will'' get edited by others, and sometimes it'll get removed as well - that's just how it goes. In the future, instead of "no one said I couldn't do it", make sure people say you ''can'' do something ''before'' you undertake something that's never been done on the wiki before: that's what [[MarioWiki:Proposals|Proposals]] are for, after all. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 21:57, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
::::::::I asked how to format the script and how to add the music and people told me. I didn't mean it like "no one told me anything and so that means it's fine". It is more like "no one said it was a bad idea". I asked questions how do I do this or that and people explained how to do different things. Since you want to delete Scirpts what about this [[Yoshi%27s_Safari#Script|one]]? {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 22:14, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||

When I first saw this Wiki I knew this was the place for me, a HUGE Mario fan. I wanted to have my own website but it's too expensive. That's why I came here. I won't try being a "big help" for now because it seems that really the things you are deleting are things I added to the Wiki, well most of the things at least. Are the actual files going to be deleted? I think if you are removing them from their respective pages that it would be a good idea to completely remove the actual files from the Wiki. {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 22:25, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Look, you're not doing yourself any favours by complaining to me about your stuff getting deleted. I'm sorry about your wasted time, I really am, but that's how it goes sometimes: images get replaced, pages get rewritten, content gets deleted. I've had stuff scrapped on me too - that's the risk of being part of a community of editors. Wanting to contribute is good, but you need to go through proper channels: if you had made a formal proposal, at least some people would have told you it was a bad idea. As for the YS Script, I've been wondering about that too - it's more of a grey area, but it's not up for me alone to say anyway: the admins will come to a decision on that matter. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 22:33, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
::Sorry, I'm not trying to complain. I'll stop bugging you (I'm not trying to). Thanks for explaining to me why. I'm still learning. I didn't know anything about the proposals. I guess I'm still very new to the wiki. Sorry if I made you irritated, I didn't mean to. {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 23:07, 7 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::S'okay. Voting in proposals are a handy way to get to know more about the wiki and the community: I definitely recommend checking them out. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 23:17, 8 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
::::If I wanted to make a Proposal how would I do so? Is it just: Edit the Talk Page of MarioWiki:Proposals? {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 01:00, 9 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:::::Proposals go on the actual Proposal page, not on the talk page. Just read the "How to" section on [[MarioWiki:Proposals]] and copy the example and/or what the currently running proposals are doing. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 16:23, 9 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
::::::Okay, thanks for telling me. {{User:Agentdave7/Sig}} 16:27, 9 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
==Userpage== | |||
Are you allowed to put Mario Kart 7 community codes on your Userpage?? Thanks. - [[SuperBlueYoshi64]] | |||
:I think that sorta thing is fine. Just don't post phone numbers and addresses and things like that. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 23:17, 8 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
== Hello Walkazo just a fast question.. == | |||
Does every policy page need a shortcut? or it is made only for important ones.. or just 'create if you like'?--{{User:Megadardery/sig}} 16:48, 14 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Sometimes if a shortcut is logical and it seems like a page could use one, maybe an admin will create one; sometimes we'll make shortcuts when we make policy pages, sometimes we don't. It's all very whatever. There's certainly not a ''need'' for more shortcuts across the board. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 17:03, 14 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
==Personal Images I want deleted== | |||
Hi, Walkazo. I'm Armin00 (MarioMan51, but I changed it now like you see) and I would like to ask if you want to delete 2 personal images. File:LinkSSBU.png and File:WarioDance.gif are the 2 images. Thank you, {{ User:MarioMan51/sig}} 14:34, 25 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Done, but next time you can just mark them with {{tem|personal-file-abandoned}} and/or {{tem|delete}} and someone will get to them eventually, or at the very least provide ''links'' to the images instead of just their names when you request deletions. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 17:01, 25 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
Since you're online, can you please delete [[:File:Mario-and-Luigi-Dream-Team-gameplay.jpg|this]]? (I marked it yesterday but no one seems to have noticed) --{{User:Driftmaster130/sig}} 17:32, 25 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:I deleted it, but for the record, one day is ''not'' an unreasonable wait time. Heck, one ''week'' is not unreasonable, or even more: there's no pressing need or hard deadline for deleting stuff - it'll get deleted when it gets deleted. Once you mark it, your job's done; we'll get to it whenever. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 19:11, 25 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
Thank you Walkazo! The reason that I always asked you was becuase I didin't understand how these templates work. Could be because my english was weaker a few years ago. But now I do understand. I won't be bothering you again with deleting pictures. Have a nice day, {{ User:MarioMan51/sig}} 20:11, 30 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
:Okay, no worries: when in doubt, it's always best to ask someone, after all. I'm glad you know how to use the templates now =) - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 11:58, 31 October 2013 (EDT) | |||
Thank you very much Walkazo! {{ User:MarioMan51/sig}} 15:49, 1 November 2013 (EDT) | |||
== Hullo Thar! == | |||
Walkazo! Long time no see :O how's life? {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}} | |||
:I know, it's insane how much time flies. :S I've been pretty well! I'm in my first year of college this year, which is pretty awesome. :P I actually already changed my major. I was originally studying Education, but now I'm a Music major :O {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}} | |||
::That sounds kind awful :S But I'm assuming it's much better now? :D There's only been a couple things that have bugged me this year. The people who live across the hall from me in the dorms have a tendency to piss me off simply because they exist, and I dropped my Geology class because the instructor was terrible and I failed the first two tests. Dx But my other classes are going MUCH better! :D {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}} | |||
:::I ''would'' live at home...but I'm currently 5 hours away from my parents. :P But yeah, I was so happy when I dropped that class. Luckily, since I changed my major, the class is no longer required, and I'm still taking enough credits to be considered full-time! :D But I've been looking back at my talk page archives, and it's so...strange. I don't know how 7th Grade me managed to make friends here back in the day. xD {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}} | |||
::::My RA is taking O-Chem right now. I feel so bad for him, it sounds terrible :P Also, I've *gasp* been editing the Wiki the past couple of days O.O; I even surprise myself. Normally I've disappeared for a few months again by now xD (also, yay name changes! :D) {{User:ToadetteAnime4evur/sig}} | |||
== Special 5-5 == | |||
Hi. I recently created [[Special 5-5]] and have each room of it as a separate paragraph, however, none of them are longer than two lines so I'm not sure whether they should all be merged into one paragraph or have all the ones before the checkpoint flag as one paragraph and the ones after it as another paragraph. {{User|Yoshi876}} | |||
:I'd combine them into two paragraphs, yeah. Also, try to avoid saying "The next room contains..." so much: repetition looks bad. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 13:11, 2 November 2013 (EDT) | |||
==Delete== | |||
Please block that IP address who vandalized Paper Mario and delete the edit, it contains random garbage about God and Jesus and uses vulgar language. [[User:Ztar Power|Ztar Power]] ([[User talk:Ztar Power|talk]]) 10:17, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
:Please don't tell me how to do my job. Thanks. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 10:23, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
Oh I'm sorry. But it doesn't look like a good edit to me. [[User:Ztar Power|Ztar Power]] ([[User talk:Ztar Power|talk]]) 10:24, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
I apologize if I undermined your authority. But vandalism is not part of the wiki, and I've seen IP addresses get blocked for a month for vandalizing.[[User:Ztar Power|Ztar Power]] ([[User talk:Ztar Power|talk]]) 10:26, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
:I was going to get around to it; I was checking the IP and other more pressing stuff first. I was also waiting to see if the IP would edit again, or if it was a one-time thing, as I like to avoid blocking IPs if I can. I have to go offline soon and will be unable to keep an eye on things, however, so I'll probably block it for a bit either way. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 10:29, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
==Question== | |||
I've noticed that in some of the deletion summaries, the reason given for removing an edit was "Shroom Content" Why did those edits get deleted? [[User:Ztar Power|Ztar Power]] ([[User talk:Ztar Power|talk]]) 20:00, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
:No idea. I'm not on the 'Shroom staff, and generally just leave them to their own business. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 20:54, 3 November 2013 (EST) | |||
==Disambiguation question== | |||
Can a disambiguation page have a red link in it? {{User|Yoshi876}} | |||
:Maybe, if the goal is to make an article for the link sooner than later. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 18:15, 11 November 2013 (EST) | |||
