Welcome to my talk page, feel free to leave anything here. I may be able to reply if I'm not busy.

Proper nouns

When naming proper nouns (names of characters, enemies etc.), please remember to capitalise them, so "boo" or "bowser" must be written as "Boo" or "Bowser." Thanks and keep contributing. Mario JC 07:41, 13 October 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, avoid writing in second-person (using the word "you") on articles; we write in third-person, so we use "the player" or the character's name instead. Try to also avoid run-on sentences as well (using a comma to separate two independent clauses), so in this case as an example, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms, you can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." should be written as, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms. The player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." Mario JC 19:07, 14 October 2018 (EDT)

Please stop not capitalising proper nouns 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.

Please remember to capitalise names as I've explained above (like "King Boo"); writing all words in lowercase is not proper grammar. Mario JC 19:03, 17 November 2018 (EST)

Understandable, i do my very best to just either make or fix things, i'm not much into these edits and i don't do very well like you guys, i know i made too many edits the past few weeks since im not very good, but anyways i'll keep on trying to remember these things that is important with grammar and capitalising, good day. -MarioGamerFan24

Italics

One other thing: please keep in mind that game titles must be formatted in italics. So for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, it's written as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The formatting is simple: two apostrophes before and after the name: ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' Mario JC 06:53, 30 November 2018 (EST)

Please keep the above in mind. 17:56, 27 December 2018 (EST)

Run-on sentences

Once again, please avoid run-on sentences as I explained above like you did in this bullet point. This was all one sentence, with only commas used to separate different pieces of information, which is improper grammar. In cases like these, you need to start new sentences and use periods / full stops to separate independent clauses. I recommend reading through the Wikipedia page I linked to you above. Mario JC 20:15, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Just so you get the hang of this:

Gooigi can also vibrate when Luigi is near a door and enters a room where a Boo is hidden. The closer Luigi is to the Boo, the more Gooigi vibrates.
Players have ten minutes to take down Boolossus. To defeat him when he throws bombs out, players must launch them at his mouth to explode him into Boos.

These should be two different sentences. A tip would be whenever you decide to use a comma, just use a period whenever possible, unless it absolutely doesn't make sense as separate sentences. Mario JC 10:00, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

Very well lad, I am improving editing a bit more slightly, but there may have been some slips that can be easy for me to miss at times. I'll be much more careful now. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 18:38, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

Another one is:

Achievements reappear in Luigi's Mansion 3 serving a similar role. They come in four categories: [...]

I know this is bothersome but I'm just trying to help you avoid this. Mario JC 23:33, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

All good lad, the more I know and avoid this, the better. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:12, November 3, 2019 (EST)

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not capitalising proper nouns) 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.

As you're familiar with the Mario series, you should know that names for most characters, games, consoles etc. need to be capitalised, especially after you were reminded twice. There's some improvement in your sentence structure, but please remember this rule as well; it's not difficult, and while I shouldn't need to mention bad grammar again, forgoing this for links can lead to broken links. If you don't know, you can always check the rest of the article, other articles, or through the search function. Mario JC 21:59, 20 December 2018 (EST)

Basically if it's a name for something, its first letter is a capital letter, like "Mario", "Nintendo" or an enemy like "Ukiki". So a common light "switch" isn't capitalised, but the console "Switch" is. Don't take it as a discouragement; I'm just trying to help you improve. Mario JC 23:36, 20 December 2018 (EST)

Images

Hello, MarioGamerFan24. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded coding is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, MarioGamerFan24. 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 Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media 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, thanks for your uploads, however, you need to categorize your uploads, for example an Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island image would need the code: [[Category:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Images]]. Also, you need to use the {{aboutfile}} to describe the subject of the image, your source of the image, etc when uploading, and finally, you need to remember to apply a licence to the uploaded image when uploading. Thanks! Doomhiker (talk) 14:30, 27 December 2018 (EST)

Please remember to add the appropriate licence and category to your uploads, otherwise you may receive another warning. If you're uploading directly from the editor (the image icon at the top of the text box), you would add the following along with the summary:

==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}

[[Category:Super Mario Maker 2 Images]]

Though I recommend using Special:Upload as it's easier. Mario JC 20:49, May 15, 2019 (EDT)

Ah I see, only assumed editing options would work best but, that'll do, for next time MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 21:06, May 16, 2019 (EDT)

This again. Images need a license and image category as I've done here (for the license, you just select from the "Licensing" drop-down menu). Please try to remember these things, you shouldn't need to be reminded every time (for instance, you forgot a navigation template and category again on Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3).) Mario JC 22:43, November 9, 2019 (EST)

I'd assume I would have got everything but there is some difference between using mobile to desktop, the next time I do this I should switch to desktop while using mobile purposes. And I will also have to check on how to do the category labels as well, if I ever made another mistake or forget to do this again, I'll accept any punishment you can give, I can understand you are getting tired and probably mad of reminding me every time I messed up and I should have been able to be much more better than before when I first joined. Maybe one day there might be some few improvements for mobile users although I might be wrong about it. I'll probably forget about editing if its the last straw I messed up on something. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 06:25, November 10, 2019 (EST)

Also on that note, i can be unteachable and unworthy just to help out wikis, maybe i'll stop editing for a while if you just had enough reminding me every time. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 11:37, November 11, 2019 (EST)

Brawl Attacks

Could you provide a reference for the new name for Bowser's Special Attacks if it's true? So far the remake has only been released in Japan. Mario JC 06:46, 3 January 2019 (EST)

Unrelated, but for the Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story / Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey headers you're doing, please use a forward slash / instead of a vertical bar |. Mario JC 06:51, 3 January 2019 (EST)

I have made a video about it, showcasing the name change: https://youtu.be/Yj5ivwl6AO8 MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:53, 5 January 2019 (EST)

On that note: this was from the manual like I mentioned the other day, but haven't been more specific with evidence. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:57, 5 January 2019 (EST)

You're still using the vertical bar to separate the original and remake's titles for section headers. We use the forward slash, not a vertical bar. Mario JC 21:23, 16 January 2019 (EST)

It was somewhat hard to figure out which one to use, but very well. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 22:05, 16 January 2019 (EST)

Removing comments

Regarding your recent edit you removed your talk page comment. Please remember that you cannot remove your comments which is why I undone your edit. Thanks. Doomhiker (talk) 18:29, 14 February 2019 (EST)

My apologies, i was just seeing if it be easier to see things but, very well. Will keep that in mind next time, good day. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 01:10, 15 February 2019 (EST)

Summaries

No need to constantly make edits with summaries saying "Revert if needed"; just use your best judgement. If there's definitely something worth informing in what you're adding, we welcome it! Also, we cover pre-release and unused content for a lot of games, so filling in that gap for a game that doesn't already have a section/page for it is encouraged. The talk page is always there if you're having strong doubts about anything. Mario JC 08:59, 9 March 2019 (EST)

Very well, I will keep that in mind if something bothers me, just wanting to be on the safe side if I made some minor mistakes or grammar errors. For now have a good day. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 09:03, 9 March 2019 (EST)

"Its" versus "It's"

Hi, just letting you know that, in case you get confused again, "its" is a gender-free singular possessive pronoun, while "it's" is short for "it is". Please keep this in mind, otherwise you may start seeing warnings pertaining to the matter. Thanks! ^(T|C) 02:16, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

Max Cheese

Cheese wasn't in the original game at all. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:47, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

New stubs

One or more pages that you have recently created have been deleted or marked as a stub article (Stone (object)). 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.

Letting you know of this now as this is the third time you created a stub article. Please consider the above when starting a new page. Mario JC 03:03, June 30, 2019 (EDT)

Your articles also lack a navigation template and categories. When you get the chance, you should go over the Manual of Style when making another article; there's also no harm in looking at other level articles to get an idea of how one should be written or using it as a template (as a suggestion, you can add a layout summary and enemy list). Mario JC 00:38, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

Please stop not following the Manual of Style (categories; navigation template; italics) 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.

Your previous two articles lacked categories / navigation templates before they were added later by other users as well as italics for game titles for the latter, after you were reminded twice already about reading over the Manual of Style. A number of users came in to fix it up but it's important to know these yourself. Please follow the Manual of Style carefully when starting up your article. Mario JC 21:43, July 24, 2019 (EDT)

I guess I didn't even think clearly when trying to make a article, I should have done that before making them. I must remind myself if I ever make another in the future. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 13:38, July 25, 2019 (EDT)

Please remember navigation templates and categories for new articles. I really don't think a warning over this is necessary now but you might not be let off if this happens again considering you've been told three times already. Mario JC 06:08, November 4, 2019 (EST)

I didn't think three times as much, my memory can fade at times forgetting what is needed each time if I ever created another page, I was worried if I put another stub or something in the page. I'm probably overthinking too much, My apologies lad. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 17:47, November 4, 2019 (EST)

That's why your talk page is here. Just remember to check it (or ask) if you ever forget something.

Also, if this is the only glitch that's going to be on the page, I should let you know it should just be kept as a section on the main game page rather than on a separate page. A glitch page should only be necessary if such a section becomes excessively long. Mario JC 19:13, November 4, 2019 (EST)

I understand, I will hope to keep that in memory to remind myself the next time another game is released and/or if more glitches are discovered, but only time will tell for now. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 20:17, November 4, 2019 (EST)

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior 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.

Please remember to add as much information as possible. Just the release dates is not enough. 19:40, March 13, 2020 (EDT)

Very well, and I'll have to study quite a bit more about new stubs, I know many newcomers don't follow rules well and I try to avoid breaking them, but one little mistake I do and then..well you know the routine. I could have asked before making pages...I'm doing the best I can. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 22:16, March 13, 2020 (EDT)

RE: More info about Run-On sentences?

There's the Wikipedia page I linked to above, and also: Comma splice, which is the more specific error actually. You can also find some material through Google like on Grammarly. Mario JC 20:54, November 5, 2019 (EST)

RE: Original image uploads from the user should rename the file?

You should be able to rename it. You need to click the "move" tab at the top of the page. Mario JC 06:03, December 17, 2019 (EST)

Ah i see, well thanks for the info lad, just wanting to be sure if it was possible. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 15:10, December 17, 2019 (EST)

After moving a file, remember to mark the old name for deletion with {{delete}}. Mario JC 19:47, March 22, 2020 (EDT)

Alrighty, thanks again. MarioGamerFan24 (talk) 03:41, March 23, 2020 (EDT)
