==Stumpers's Wiki News==
http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p38/StumpersII/ChristmasBear.jpg
Stumpers's Wiki News is a service provided for users who are interesting in what I'm up to. Yes, yes!  You're welcome!  I'll post any major changes I make and keep you posted on developements regarding my status on the Wiki. Old news posts can be found [[User:Stumpers/Archive_1|here]].


====18 December 2007====
==What Can I Do For You?==
I'm officially on hiatus again.  I mean itIndefinately. EDIT: I can stay one more day. Come Friday, who knows what will happen?
As a bureaucrat, it is my duty to help users such as yourself with any problems you might have.  This means questions on policy, editing, inter-user issues, and so on.  If I do not have an answer, I can direct you to someone who doesSo, fire away by posting on my [[User talk:Stumpers|talk page]], provided your question is not, "How do I post a message on a talk page."


Oh, by the way, I figured out how to download those tunes from the official DDR: Mario Mix website without having to pay for QuickTime's stupid updateRight click, save as!<br>
==Subpages==
[http://www.ddrmariomix.com/_lib/_downloads/audiojams/herewego.mp3 Here We Go!]<br>
In addition to my [[User talk:Stumpers|talk page]] and its archives, there are two more pages in my userspace.

*[[User:Stumpers/Stumpers's Wiki News|Stumpers's Wiki News]]: The final resting place of my discontinued feature, "Stumpers's Wiki News." With SWN, I would make a post to inform other users of notable edits I had made that day. When I grew tired of it, I asked if anyone would mind if I discontinued it. No one did, so SWN came to an end.

*[[User:Stumpers/Test|Test]]: My test page. I use it in conjunction with the [[MarioWiki:Proposals|proposals]] page when I need to illustrate what I'm thinking.


====10 December 2007====
==Stumpers' Featured Articles==
Today, I partially Stumpified the [[Land of Ice]] article.
 
====9 December 2007====
"Yo, Super Cool Awesome Editor guy! (or, Stumpers, as most of the Wiki prefers to call you. :P) Would you like to be in [[User:Pokemon DP/Comic|My Comic]]? Just wondering, in case you were interested. =) There's only one way to find that out, so, here I am. :P {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}"
 
I'll let DP speak for himself!  Yahoo!  Oh, and you guys will notice that ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' is not the featured article.  While I'm a little weirded out by its exclusion, I am glad we'll have more time to fix it up.  Of course, I might actually have to take my hiatus seriously coming soon...
====7 December 2007====
Yeah, the edits to ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' will definately not be done by December 9th, so you'll have a featured article that really isn't complete in my opinion.  Maybe I should take out my story edits that only get into area 1 for now just so it looks complete?
 
====3 December 2007====
'''I will now be attempting to have a limited hiatus, editing ''Luigi's Mansion'' and nothing else save to add location templates.  Sorry, ''Smash'' fans!'''
 
Redonculous edits to the story section of ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' and more to come.  I'm going to finish that up and make it a REAL featured article, gosh dang it!
 
====2 December 2007====
It's a small edit today: just updated the trival section on ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' as part of my plans to update it before its December 9th release.  [[User:Wayoshi|Wayoshi]] also offered to make me a location template, so I'll be peppering that around the major areas in the next few days.  '''However, aside from that I will be on hiatus until further notice.  Please expect my return around Christmas or after New Years.'''  There is still a possibility that I'll get to work on the tracks section of ''SSBB''.  Any work I do on the site will be reserved for writing rather than proposals, talk, etc.  I'll still be active on talk pages if you are holding a conversation with me or want to start one.  Of course, you're always welcome to do that. ;)
 
====1 December 2007====
Check out the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Music|music section]] of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' page.  You like the new chart?
 
====27 November 2007====
I'm really proud of today's Stumpification: [[Mario and Luigi's Parents]].  I combined information from the games and the TV show in order to show their whole story as far as we know it.  Hmm... you think maybe I could get it featured?  That would be catty of me, yes, but still.  Oh... this last bit is old news, but I made [[superstar]] into an article rather than a redirect page.
 
====21 November 2007====
Oh... I'm back, by the way.  Check out the Stumpified [[Super Star]] article.
 
====4 November 2007====
Hey, y'all.  I'm going to try this out: I'll only come to the Wiki on weekends, okay?  That will leave more time for my life... see you around!
 
UPDATE: I've decided to leave until my Thanksgiving Break starts.  Everything begins to wrap up around now, which means a lot of work for me.  I hope to see you all the weekend after next.  Have a great time, you guys!
 
====1 November 2007====
Updated the [[Main Page]].  You'd think people forgot about it or something. ;(
 
====30 October 2007====
Well, the Peach Trio is officially complete.  Check out the [[Peachy Peach]] article.  I think I need to reorganize the recipe section with a chart.
 
====29 October 2007====
WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!  I partially Stumpified the [[Final Smash]] article... I'm such a loser!
 
====28 October 2007====
Oh, no!  [[Super Dragon]] has been Stumpified!  That's two Stumpifications in the last week!  Stumpers is going to ruin his life!  ...I better take a breather.  Oh, in related news, check out my new userbox... at the top.
 
====THE PIT====
As new news posts come, each news article is bumped down one slot.  There are ten slots... and then THE PIT!  The tidbit in slot ten above is spazzing out about it right now, actually.  Poor thing.  That's why we have [[User:Stumpers/Archive_1|this page]].  It's the retirement village for my news posts, like those crazy places out in the western USA where little kids aren't allowed to live.
 
==Stumpers' Services==
'''GRAND REOPENING'''... if you didn't figure it out from the [[Final Smash]] edits...
 
===Stumpification===
This is one of my favorite things to do.  I take an article, gut out its information and completely rewrite if from ground up… in one-to-three edits.  If you feel there is an article in dire need of this, such as one that has the “rewrite and expand” banner at the top, please let me know on my talk page and we can see if I like it.
 
===Peer Edit===
Much different from the Peer Reviews that used to be on the Super Mario Wiki, my peer edit system is my assessment of an article and rewriting where needed.  It’s pretty in-depth.  The difference between Stumpification is that I keep the overall structure of the article unless I feel it really needs to be changed.  I will send you back any recommendations I have for added information.  If there is a peer review page, I will also do one of those if all of the problems I have with the article aren’t already solved.
 
===Random Services===
Feel free to make any strange Wiki-related request you have on my talk page.  I may be able to help.  Also, if you have a need of a writer or a peer editor off-site for one specific task, let me know.  No guarantees, though.
 
==Stumpers’ Featured Articles==

What Can I Do For You?

As a bureaucrat, it is my duty to help users such as yourself with any problems you might have. This means questions on policy, editing, inter-user issues, and so on. If I do not have an answer, I can direct you to someone who does. So, fire away by posting on my talk page, provided your question is not, "How do I post a message on a talk page."

Subpages

In addition to my talk page and its archives, there are two more pages in my userspace.

  • Stumpers's Wiki News: The final resting place of my discontinued feature, "Stumpers's Wiki News." With SWN, I would make a post to inform other users of notable edits I had made that day. When I grew tired of it, I asked if anyone would mind if I discontinued it. No one did, so SWN came to an end.
  • Test: My test page. I use it in conjunction with the proposals page when I need to illustrate what I'm thinking.

Stumpers' Featured Articles

North American box art for Tetris DS
If it weren't for Stumpers, this game's article would be merged with Game Sightings, also known as the Void.

This is a list of my ten favorite articles that I've played a major role in.

  1. Mama Mario
  2. Tetris DS
  3. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
  4. Mario Strikers Charged
  5. Mushroom Kingdom
  6. Super Mario Bros. Stamps
  7. MC Ballyhoo
  8. Ninja (Final Fantasy)
  9. Vim Factory
  10. Peach Blossom

Do You Know Me on the Internet?

Here are a few of my current aliases. If you see me, drop me a line!

Brief History of Naming

  • "Stumper" era: I named myself after a character I invented for a point-and-click adventure game made with PowerPoint. The reason I chose this was because I couldn't think of a better name.
  • "Stumpers" era: The addition of the "s" to my name was a mistake on my part. The reason behind it is that "Stumpers" refers to the game that the character "Stumper" stars in. Actually, the reason the game wasn't called "Stumper" was a mistake on my part... so it's a mistake based on a mistake.
  • "spazafrazz" era: This was first used for my AIM screenname. I actually thought of a better name this time, because it was after I had been nicknamed "Spaz"... by two separate people independently.
  • "Matt" era: Only used for Animal Crossing: Wild World, I called myself this because the in this game your in-game name doubles as your screenname. So, I could either have the villagers calling me "spazafrazz" or have everyone online know my real first name. I chose the latter because, seriously, there are about eight million "Matt"s in this world, so why does it matter? Yes, you can call me Matt now if you want because you were nice enough to read my page this far down.
  • "Whettam" era: Whettam, pronounced "wet ham" is my full first name, Matthew, spelled backwards. I didn't want to let my Nintendo identity be affected by a name that had, over time, come to bother me. Whettam is also a ficticious character as part of a massive in-joke with my family.

What? You want a reward for reading all of that slop? Whiner. Okay... you can see my favorite Mario Wiki Forum avatar... which Wayoshi banned for being "too creepy".
