Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]

Hi, please remember to check if the photo is already uploaded before uploading a new photo. The file you uploaded already existed. Also, please remember to add a summary and categorize the files you upload. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 11:09, September 3, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop making unconstructive edits on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

The artwork of Blue Yoshi you uploaded is already on the wiki. Please double check to make sure the image you're trying to upload isn't already here. Additionally, the colored Yoshis don't get individual pages, that is currently covered on the Yoshi (species) page. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad!

I know you don't mean anything bad, but please remember to add a summary and categorize the files you upload. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 21:50, September 3, 2021 (EDT)

Please stop adding duplicate photos. I've already told you several times. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 19:50, September 6, 2021 (EDT

We have these photos already. Please stop uploading duplicate photos. Wario (Cowboy) from Mario Kart TourWildWario (talk) 10:17, September 7, 2021 (EDT)

Since they all seem to be from Yoshi's Crafted World, you should take a look at the game's gallery page and the game's image category first before you upload. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 13:31, September 7, 2021 (EDT)

Enemy names[edit]

Please stop changing the Yoshi's Crafted World enemy names unless you have a source for them. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad! Waluigi Time! 11:57, September 6, 2021 (EDT)

Warning.svg
This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (adding unsourced names) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site.
If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

To put it simply, if the subject doesn't have a definite name in English but does in Japanese, then we have to go with the latter, as indicated by a template on top of the page. The name can only be changed to English if it ever shows up in any official material. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 19:24, September 6, 2021 (EDT)

Bumping this, do not change Japanese names to English names for subjects that don't have official English names or your next block will be indefinite. Bowser Nightwicked Bowser Bowser emblem from Mario Kart 8 07:12, February 25, 2024 (EST)

Last Warning[edit]

Lastwarn.svg
This is your last warning. The next time you break the rules in any way, you will be blocked from editing the Super Mario Wiki.
If you feel this last warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Aside from continuing to push through the edits which you have already been warned for, removing comments from other users, especially reminders and warnings, is not allowed. As Swallow explained, the language for a subject cannot be changed if it has not been named officially. --Waluigi's head icon in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Too Bad!

Uploads[edit]

Hello, Jack Waitzkin. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:

Images Audio/video files

When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use:

[[Category:Super Mario World images]]
or
[[Category:Super Mario World media files]]

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, Jack Waitzkin. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common:

  • {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects.
  • {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character.
  • {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic.
  • {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books.
  • {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows.
  • {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies.
  • {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube.

When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}.

Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please remember to add the necessary categories and licenses, not just a description. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:40, September 6, 2021 (EDT)

Also, remember to sign comments on talk pages with four tildes at the end: ~~~~ Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:42, September 6, 2021 (EDT)

Please review these reminders. Your files also need to have a descriptive name; don't use the default file name or your file directory name. If you need to rename, don't upload it again; use the "move" tab at the top. I've already renamed the file and cleaned up the summary: File:MVDK NS flying key.jpg.

Thanks
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jack Waitzkin (talk).

And please make sure you use proper grammar and spelling on articles. We don't use the word "you" to refer to the player (instead, use "the player" or the character's name); proper nouns like "Mini-Mario" should be capitalised; and sentences should end with periods. We also don't use "thumb" in tables, just the image width (e.g. "|90px"). Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 22:57, February 24, 2024 (EST)

Ok, but please help edit my pages. I am just a beginner at wiki editing. Also, please clear my talk page. It is stuffed. User:Jack Waitzkin/sig

You're free to move them to an archive: User talk:Jack Waitzkin/Archive 1. But it has to be linked to at the top of your current talk page. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 23:19, February 24, 2024 (EST)

Block[edit]

@Mario jc please unblock me. I made those bad edits a couple years ago. I am sorry. However, I have already been blocked once, and i have stopped making unconstructive edits. Please unblock me. Jack Waitzkin (talk)

Do not remove talk page comments. Those edits from 2021 were before your first block, but you still did the same thing (and continued to upload duplicate files) just a few months ago and even made another similar edit before that, so you've been blocked a second time for continuing to ignore the above warnings. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 01:24, May 23, 2023 (EDT)

Do not continue to remove talk comments, otherwise another block will be issued. Lucina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 23:04, February 24, 2024 (EST)

Flying key[edit]

One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article. Please consider the following ideas and suggestions when expanding/creating an article:
  • Before saving a new page, be sure that you have put as much effort and information in the article as you can.
  • Make sure that the page follows all of the rules that are outlined in the Manual of Style.
  • Perhaps upload a few images that can be used on the article.
Please don't take this notice as a dejection; this is just an informative notice and we encourage you to keep contributing.

Read through and follow the Manual of Style step by step before creating an article. Don't start a bare-bones article that simply reuses the description on the main game page (and avoid leaving messages in text form on the article).
