Overturning a Proposal

The original proposal said you could not completely overturn a proposal for sixty days, which means passed proposals can be partially changed immediately as needed. For example, if the current FI/Calendar proposal passes, FIs will replace the Calendar on the main page. That means there could not immediately be a proposal about replacing FIs with the Calendar. However, there could immediately be a proposal about re-adding a Calendar section to the Main Page, as it builds off the original proposal but does not completely overturn the decision. Basically, within 60 days, you can't have a proposal that would return things to the way they were before the original proposal. Does that help? -- Son of Suns (talk)

Stub Proposal

I had to remove your Stub Proposal, sorry. It wasn't specific enough - merging stubs has to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. For example, you could try making a Proposal just about the DiC trilogy you used as your example, and then once that passes (and is enacted) or fails, then you can move on to another group of stubs. Again, I'm sorry about all this. - Walk azo 23:34, 6 April 2009 (EDT)

Another Proposal Header

Wow, three Proposal-themed headers in a row - you're on a roll! (When I first joined all I did was proposal stuff too!) Anyway, sorry for being so brutal about the Majority Proposal, but in academics you gotta defend your ideas with tooth and nail, and I never make exceptions. Still, you fixed it up well, and I am glad you made me one of the Proposers. I'm also happy you finalized the numbers, since I was still up in the air about the amount of votes needed for a clear lead, and about how long the proposal should be extended for. I'm really busy these days too (actually, my parent's anniversary is coming up as well), so I couldn't find the time to sit down and finalize anything. Still, you might try making drafts of your proposals and whatnot before posting (and always remember to preview at least once to catch anything you've missed), to avoid these sort of mishaps in the future. (I preview things multiple times, but I'm obsessive.) - Walk azo 23:30, 7 April 2009 (EDT)

One more thing: if/when the proposal passes, let me add the new rule. I already wrote it up and have it saved on my computer. I also penned - well, typed, but that's not how the expression goes - a comment to put on the Proposal Talk Page to elaborate on the rule and give examples for future reference. Seeing as the policy is a little elaborate, I wanted to make sure the rule will be 100% clear on what it means. - Walk azo 21:09, 10 April 2009 (EDT)

Just a question

But is Zeldagirl (talk) related to you? Super-Yoshi ^{Talk? C???}

Good Point

Part 1

Yeah, my proposal was off; 60 days is too long. But, it got things going in the right direction. Just one question: Some months are longer than others. How are you defining "a month"? I think it should be just 30 days to avoid confusion.

Ral ph fan>>Talk to me HERE!

Part 2

28; it's four weeks.

Ral ph fan>>Go to The 'Shroom's Fake News for this month to see what I just did!

OK

I see you're pretty new to the wiki and you're already getting up there. Nice job! Talk to me anytime.

My WikiBirthday

Mid-November; there's stuff on my page in the "Stuff I do on the Wiki" and "Countdowns to..." sections.

Ral ph fan>>Yeah.

My Page

You can copy anything from my page; hit view source to see how it's coded and then copy, paste, and edit it.

P.S.: What state are you in? I'm in California, near San Francisco. We have nice weather today.

Ral ph fan>>Show your sister this stuff.

Hi, I'm Ninja Yoshi.I've been asking users this question as part of a poll/graph.Do you classify yourself as not being active enough or a big junk food eater?Ninja Yoshi

THanks! :) ™ :)

Character Battle

Ok, you can add it to the Fun Stuff Section, youll get a reminder with teh date of the next issue :) ™ Welcome to teh 'Shroom :)

I know youll do great, and the proposal doesnt matter

™ Im running out of comments

Proposal

Haha, I was well aware it was a joke proposal. I was only opposing it because the last joke proposal that went in place, I supported. (I was trying to show that I'm all for jokes, in other words. :P) But, I wasn't the one that removed your proposal. That was Blitzwing (talk). And he only did that because joke proposals are kinda outlawed. — Stoo ben Roo ben 22:49, 28 April 2009 (EDT)

I had joined right after the time of the Pie Proposal, I believe, so I'm not real clear on the details. But, yes, I do believe a few users left because of it, somehow. And Rudnicki is a very horrid troll on the MarioWiki forums. He was banned for flaming, being sexist, racist, and a pervert. However, he has some groupies (for lack of a better term), that have a vendetta against me. So, ALL of my accounts on the internet were hacked on the 26th and 27th. S/he used my account on the forums to ban and delete over 600 accounts, and nearly nuke the forums all together. Porplemontage returned late last night and reset the server though, fixing the whole thing. — Stoo ben Roo ben 23:06, 28 April 2009 (EDT)

You're very welcome! — Stoo ben Roo ben 23:16, 28 April 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure. I'll go add that rule. — Stoo ben Roo ben 23:25, 28 April 2009 (EDT)

I'm fairly certain that this is a rule somewhere, because I was told a similar thing once; but proposals about making a certain rank of users' vote more valuable is not allowed. All users have equal opinions, and the whole point of having proposals is for it to be a community decision; not for it to be voted upon, passed, then eventually vetoed by a Bureaucrat who disagrees with the idea. — Stoo ben Roo ben 18:56, 30 April 2009 (EDT)

Re: Stooby

Yeah, that guy is a total moron. Even if I lost my password, or got hacked, I wouldn't create a sock on the wiki. — Stoo ben Roo ben 17:18, 2 May 2009 (EDT)

Re:Patrollerhood

Thank you for the complement. Nerdy Gu y (:))

Personal Image Limit

You have exceeded the limit of personal images you are allowed to have. You are only allowed to have four personal images. Please be mindful in the future to only upload four. For more information see MarioWiki:Personal files. Yoshario

Adding to what Yoshario said, please tag the Personal Images you no longer want with {{delete}}. If you want to keep your personal images, you can externally link them from a site such as PhotoBucket, Imageshack, or Picoodle. If you don't reply within 3 days, I will have to take matters into my own hands and delete some of your PIs until you have only four. Thanks and keep contributing. — Stoo ben Roo ben 17:57, 11 May 2009 (EDT)

If your images are for the shroom, then you should put it in the Fun Stuff section of the shroom, as tucayo said. Right now, they don't appear to be linked to any page except your userspace. Yoshario

Okay. It seems that the Fun Stuff section didn't even come out yet, so I think you should contact Tucayo about this. Yoshario

No problem :) Yoshario

I heard you need help, what can i do for you? ™ ???

Nice job on the FN!! Good i won :) (otherway you would have been fired :P) J/K. Blue SHells are my nemesis... though i still love them

™ Have a nice day

Can't Think of a Title

Great job on the comic! Hopefully, you're planning to continue those, it was awesome!

On another note, I'm sorry to say I (and probably many others) say most of your proposals are sort of useless (no offense). Please think about if the proposal might actually go through before you post it.

Ral ph fan>>No offense.

Sig Proposal

I took a look at it, and overall, I like it. However, I would like to make one suggestion (which I mentioned on the Proposal in a comment): limiting sigs to Userspace only is rather extreme, so perhaps they should merely be banned from MarioWiki and Help pages, but not article talk pages. For one thing, we don't want to quash individuality outright; and, most of the time, sigs are fine, so why ruin it for them just because of a few irritants? Most article talk pages don't get long enough for the sigs to cause problems, and those that do generally are ridiculously long articles that old computers can't deal with anyway. Also, it'll be impossible to go around and replace all the personalized sigs currently on talk pages with {{User|name}}, and the uninformed will get confused by that and keep signing with their sigs (or the handy-dandy ~~~~ code, which I'll admit, I'll miss using on talk pages myself), and it'll just be a big mess. So, seeing as my name's on the proposal (I thank you for crediting me, by the way), I'd appreciate it if you'd make this change. - Walk azo 23:45, 20 May 2009 (EDT)

Thanks

Thanks for that, dude :) ¢oincoll€ctor

I'll do my best with my new duty.

I would also like to thank you. I'll do my best. :) --KPH2293 22:29, 31 May 2009 (EDT)

I know both of you have earned the right to Bureaucrat status. You both have (and will continue to) serve the Super Mario Wiki well, especially with your new responsibilities. · S M B (Talk) ·

SHroom

You would have to ask ralphfan, hes the FN director ™ Sorry i cant help

HAHAHA FIRST HEADER

Sure, the CBs can be bi-monthly...however, if you have time, maybe you can get them to me in advance. Do the best you can and we'll be fine. Thanks for telling me!

Ral ph fan>>I do, however, need to fire some of the others.

Haha, second

looks good, but theres no need to make a proposal, you can just ask a sysop :) ™ now ill disappear until the 14th

Thanks!

™ GOOD NIGHT!

Noobness Rating

I can't really judge whether you're a true noob or not, since I hadn't ever seen you on the Wiki before my retirement.

Dom »» McTalk Even if you are, you're a nice noob, not an annoying one.

Re: Referata...

You're only noticing this now? Maria hacked Stooby's account over there months ago and demoted all the other admins; since then, we've pretty much given up on U-Referata. I wasn't aware that it had information Adriels didn't, except perhaps the few edits I made; I advise you simply copy that info and bring it to Adriels (that's what I did with my page and the Patroller templates - so don't bother with those), and leave the trolls to their fun. It's better that they're off destroying U-Referata instead of bothering the active Userpedia anyway. - Walk azo 00:22, 21 June 2009 (EDT)

Fine, and you? :) I finish school tomorrow :) ™ And i graduate this saturday :)!

Thanks :)

Need Help

Dear SMB, could you please move the page Table Tennis to Singles (over the redirect), move the page Fencing to Individual Epée and move the page Rowing to Single Sculls? These are the real names used by the games and if you move them, a redirect will be made (unless you choose to skip it, please don't). I can't move them because my E-mail has not been confirmed and I'm not getting the confirmation E-mail, I just checked and the E-mail isn't there. If only I could switch the E-mail address to my other one, please tell me if that is possible. Once again, please move those pages. Thanks in advance--Marioguy1 My talk page _{(haha, no link for you )} 01:05, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Section #7

So, I don't get it, for the Super Smash Bros. Sections of articles (Mario, Luigi) are we putting the up, down, left, right etc. moves under the Super Smash Bros. Infobox or are we putting it at the bottom under powers and abilities?--Marioguy1 My talk page _{(haha, no link for you )} 10:31, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

On the Mario page, we have his moves right under his Super Smash Bros Brawl infobox. On the Yoshi page, we have his information at the bottom of the page, which is right?--Marioguy1 My talk page _{(haha, no link for you )} 10:39, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

!!jamesbond

Well, I'm a bit unsure whether I should have banned him infintely instead, considering he has done nothing but spam. But I guess it doesn't always need to be permanently. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:19, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Why

Why did you censor it then? I'm not mad at you I would just like to ask.--Clear Discoherency 17:45, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

It's fine, I won't be mad as long as you don't do it again, k?--Clear Discoherency 17:53, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Re: Thank you

That's fine, man. Mistakes happen. Anyway, you're welcome; I'm glad to be of assistance. :) --KPH2293 17:56, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for the welcome. ;) Erwin Springer [talk] 19:15, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

Featured Article

I'd say the only problem is the headers, they can be a little bit subtle but I don't really think A ruined vacation makes me even relate to Super Mario Sunshine, if that header could be changed to something more like Vacation to Isle Delfino and the other headers like that, I'll try to help. It has good quality under the headers but bad headers--Marioguy1 My talk page _{(haha, no link for you )} 00:14, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

At the moment, I'm in the midst of voting on featured articles and I'm trying to get through to someone with my new ideas for the Welcome and User templates. Marioguy1 (talk)

If only they didn't protect those templates...Marioguy1 (talk)

I'll try to fix it up I guess Marioguy1 (talk)

I know you can do that, but it could be so much easier if they just switched it around, I think I'll contact Walkazo tommorow Marioguy1 (talk)

Remind me again how to nominate an article to be featured. Marioguy1 (talk)

OK, I'll nominate it, you just have to do anything I missed (I'll put Fastat on peach's page) Marioguy1 (talk)

FAQ

Literally, FAQ (Featured Article Question). Anyhow, in the Removal of Opposes sections, how do the opposes actually get removed? Or does the notice stay there like forever? Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

polls

well, first hi. then, we cant edit that page you told me, its in your userspace. and most important, i am discussing that with the admins, i hope we get to a decision soon ™ DANCE!

Doesn't work?

Zafum (talk) - O well. Mayby there is another way for us to agree on something?

Super Mario Galaxy

The description. Though could you give me a reminder of where it was? I kinda forgot. I only vaguely remember something... Boo der dash

Thats OK. I had to go somewhere the moment after I posted it so yeah. I'm actually surprised you posted it that fast, as you can see my userbox says I'm usually offline. Anyways, I think its the last one but I'm not sure. Maybe just write something like "Also a smb sprite of mario appeared in blah blah blah

Boo der dash

Holiday

Yoshi! Hey SMB, i was wondering if you could do me a favour, you see, i'm going on holiday this week and i was wondering if you could add my poll to the archives since i wont be there. thanx . YellowYoshi127 (talk)

I'll help! I'm trying to teach myself archiving... Marioguy1 (talk)

The archives are protected, but I'll get a sysop to add your poll. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

Yoshi! Thanx a lot YellowYoshi127 (talk)

Yoshi! Hi, i'm back! What's happened to the poll page while ive been away? Deleted? YellowYoshi127 (talk)

Yoshi! Oh Good. I was getting sick about the poll hustle. YellowYoshi127 (talk)

Questions

I have a question. Is there a way where I can talk to people about anything, without using the Wiki Chatroom? I wanted to avoid it because I am disturbed of what cuss words you are allowed to say. Is there a way I can communicate with other users without using the Wiki Chatroom? One other question, how do I make my name a link? Dark dry bowser

Forum

Yes :) Sorry, but the User of the Month section will be deleted of the Shroom because of the many problems --Tucayo(talk) The 'Shroom 16:24, 15 July 2009 (EDT)

Polls

I'm pretty sure it's permanent. The polls will be picked by Stooben Rooben (talk) from now on. Yoshario

No problem. Yoshario

If you sign up to present an award, I will give you those particular results only. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:34, 15 July 2009 (EDT)

Where will the rewards be presented? Marioguy1 (talk)

"Words"

Yep, that's a good idea, since I strongly agree with your fine Proposal, but didn't want to add my name when the Oppose list hugely outnumbered the Support. But as with another Proposal ages ago, it's turned around in a good way.

Removal of Support/Oppose Votes

On the proposal page, how do you get support and oppose votes removed? In the proposal that you made, Baby Mario Bloops' vote is invalid according to me and I think it should be removed but I don't know how to go about that. Please help, Thanks in advance Marioguy1 (talk)

No Problem-o

I was watching the latest changes in the wiki and I saw that vandal messing up here. Talking about how I am, I feel fine after stopped that bad guy... ¢oincoll€ctor

Vandals...

Like in town, there are people who like to corrupt the order of the things and just mess them up by likeness or deliberately. Their job must be disregarded in this wiki possibly because they hate the Mario universe or they want to threaten other users, like in wikipedia. Anyway, other of their edits must be removed completely from users' eyes like a major vandalism or a hacking, preventing so some future problem. That's the work of a sysop, a patroller, and other specialized user in general. ¢oincoll€ctor

You've got Mail!

Time Q wants me to tell you that you should stop proposing two things at once (see my talk page for more details)
How do you add an additional section to a vote: Do I ask the person who made the vote to add it? Do I just add it? or do I need a separate proposal? Marioguy1 (talk)

OK, I meant: I want to add the section "Create Mariowiki:Ask the Experts" to Ralphfan's admin thing proposal. To do that do I have to: Ask Ralphfan to add it in, Add it in myself, get a sysop to add it in or create a separate proposal for it? Marioguy1 (talk)

"Time Q wants me to tell you that you should stop proposing two things at once" - wtf? I never said that. Time Questions 12:07, 22 July 2009 (EDT)

Oh, okay. Time Questions 12:13, 22 July 2009 (EDT)

Thank goodness you're here! I know that template's image isn't that good but It really bugs me to look at the old one with no box and no image! Do you think it has a chance of replacing the other one? I've made the transition foolproof. All that will happen if the pages change is: Please stop Reason will change to Making unconstructive edits! So, what do you think? Marioguy1 (talk)

_{Happy Subscript Day *Marioguy1 begins to sing Subscript Day theme song but is hit with a broom*! It's a day where I only write in subscript (except on no-sig policy pages).

RE: Tourneys

NO prob. :] ¢oincoll€ctor

Private Communication

I do see a "Super Mario Bros." on the forum, but since such a name is likely common, I'm not sure if it's you. So please verify or give me another way to communicate so I can give you your results. Wa _T^C_@^Y 11:21, 23 July 2009 (EDT)

_{Speaking of Super Mario Bros.s, I just sent you a pm thing because that's the only way I know to send messages to people in the forums! If you receive the message then tell Yoshario what it says and I'll confirm if it is the message I sent (if that problem still exists). Marioguy1 (talk)}

_{So, do you need to pass another proposal to do that, BTW, my brother has just saved up enough money to buy SMG and is planning to buy it on Ebay (he wants it so that he can unlock Rosalina in MKW)! So I'll be able to help you with that soon. Marioguy1 (talk)}
