The Bestiary Proposal

You voted for this proposal back in January, and I'm working on a new proposal to expand on it. If you'd be so kind as to give me some feedback on my proposal before I post it?-- 00:11, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Baby Luigi in Sports Mix

Ah, I sent you a reply on the marioboards but just to be sure you will see it I will copy and paste here :v

unbanned? OMG Thank you *cheers* Oh, that's bad...Oh, if you want I can give you help to make this :O I just made a "Mind Map" inside my mind to record how to make this correctly XD Do you by chance know/can add me on anychat or something like that that we can talk together

Cheers! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

No, I don't hve a Steam account, sorry, DO you have a account for Skype, Discord or something like that? If not, no problem, I guess I could send you messages rought the mario boards but it'd be slower...User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Yay! I have to add you (your sister) later :D I cant talk to you atm because I have some work (build a wall) to do...Maybe later on the afternoon I can call you ^^' I'd love to lead a hand ^^' User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Oh, I cant find your sister on Skype...Would you mind asking her if she could give me her discord ID (it is a 4 number code like #xxxx)....Thanks! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

By that I mean

By that I mean that the original form of the blurb was put there by an admin and was reinstated each time someone took it off by an admin. The blurb is worded differently now but it's the same meaning.

Just because an admin did it doesn't mean there can be room for improvement. All this sentence does is state the obvious; we already have the "articleabout" template on the very top of the page that highlights their distinction, and stating this is just repeating what has already been stated.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:20, 27 November 2016 (EST)

Alright. Thank you for your time. I just was putting it back because some people still get confused because of Paper Jam's existence.

Finally

Those idiots finally found a transparent version of this filthy artwork.

I hope you are happy, you smelly Baby Luigi fan.

Re:LTIan

This is about the user page, no? Ultimate Mr. L (talk) calling his user page disturbing is kind of an extreme way to look at it. If LTIan (talk) were doing these actions outside the user page, yes, get on the ban hammer because any wiki thrives on cooperativeness as he doesn't possess it in any capacity. I already see he has had several warnings and bans about being combative with other users, trying to override other people and asserting that he is always right by committing his edits. I see his user page once had something about hating YoshiKong (talk). He didn't explain why but whatever and was since removed. If he provided critique or evaluation rather than blanket statements declaring something is better or bad, yeah, maybe it would have a reason to stay. I can see that he is trying to defame others, just in more discrete ways. It's borderline going against policy, at least the current state of his user page or any statement he says claiming he hate this place. Not quite in violation but enough to set off some flags. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:16, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Hey There

Hey how has everything been. Do you remember me? DKPetey99^TCE

Good, and yourself?

At the time of this post, this is the latest picture with Wario in it uploaded.

Hi!

I think you remember me from RVLution, right? ~ SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Yeah, but by any chance, I have no 100% who did it. But I'm quite sure is, I can't say his/her name on here for sure. I mean, I was wrong for calling people names and I get banned for that. Was it my fault that the RVLution was down because they tried to get rid of me including you guys? Look at me, I looked down through with my eyes at the floor and seen that got taken down. First of all, I want to say that you were a good staff after all to be honest! By the way, I wanna ask, how's RoadrunnerWMC doing today? :) ~SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Images from a while ago

I noticed you uploaded the following images from around three years ago:

In a message to M&SG (talk), you said you had cheat codes on or something when you took these images. The last one isn't really being used anywhere other than Gallery:Baby Mario and the first one is fine, so it's more the second one I'm worried about, as that image is being used on the Heart (item), Heart Coach, and Mushroom City pages. Should it be reuploaded as it's showing a normally impossible circumstance? I know it's possible to get anyone's special item in Battle Mode, but this is during a standard race. Perhaps reupload the image on a battle course or with Peach or Daisy in the kart instead? 17:51, 8 December 2016 (EST)

Actually, on second thought, it is possible to get the Heart item as Mario or Luigi on two-player mode. The back player just has to attack someone holding the item to steal it. Guess the image is totally fine. :P

15:06, 10 December 2016 (EST)

Well, like I said, all of them are actually possible to do (just took me a while to find that out). Though I understand if you'd want to avoid future confusion.

UV map crap

You might want to check out why that was changed to "unsure". It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 20:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)

I don't think {{pd-self}} is right for File:MKDDglitch -BabyLuigiUVMap.png and File:MKDDglitch -BabyMarioUVMap.png because the tool you used is viewing copyrighted assets. That's why I tagged as {{don't know}} instead. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:43, 11 December 2016 (EST)

OK, never mind. You changed the license. It's better, but not 100% sure that's where it goes. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:47, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Well, the license talked about homemade sprites and that's the closest thing I find that can be used to describe this, as it's not 100% the official texture, it's a transformation version of it, with the stretching, palette, and the UV coordinates on top of it.

New 3DS Exploit

soundhax - So far, only works on N3DS latest firmware. It looks like O3DS is in the works. Looks like a primary entry point. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:56, 28 December 2016 (EST)

It looks like its available for O3DS now too. If you have the cartridge version of Paper Jam, I'd love to know if it works with HANS.--

17:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I was going to say. Anyways, this one is a bit more elaborate to setup but should still be doable. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Never mind. The supplied M4A on GitHub works fine. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:37, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Re:Create a template for proposal outcomes

I've started another proposal that expands upon your proposal from about eight months ago. You may vote on it if you want, but the one thing I want you to take away from it is that nothing from the aforementioned proposal will be changed at all. ^(T|C) 18:16, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Voted in it already, but thanks for addressing a hole from my previous proposal.

RE: FA Archives

Done. L 151

Why would you delete my picture?

Why did you delete the picture of Donkey Kong in his P-Wing I uploaded? You just did that because you don't like him, didn't you? --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2017 (EST)

no, I deleted it because it adds nothing to the article. We already have two gameplay screenshots of the P-Wing, a front view and a back view, and I uploaded those images before you did. We don't need redundant images in this wiki.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 21:31, 7 January 2017 (EST)

Additionally, the image in question no longer exists and was replaced with this image of DK on the Pipe Frame.

22:08, 7 January 2017 (EST)

Mario Strikers Artwork

Would you or someone else be willing to upload a version of Peach and Waluigi's artworks from Super Mario Strikers with a transparent background so as to replace the older JPEG versions? We need consistency amongst the character artworks. I'd upload one myself, but it has very bad/pixelated transparency. --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2017 (EST)

It would be better to wait until official versions with transparency are released somewhere.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 01:48, 20 January 2017 (EST)

LAN image

I couldn't find a good template to try to get someone to replace the image so it's entirely in English, so the image-quality one was the best choice from the ones I could find from the templates category page. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 23:25, 5 February 2017 (EST)

The best option is to just leave it as it is. I couldn't even find a video about LAN play otherwise, they're hard to come across.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 00:13, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Featured articles

I left a message on your project talk page showing support for your proposed FA archiving system. Are you planning on creating a proposal on the matter sometime soon? ^(T|C) 19:40, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Heh, that's alright. I have plans to make each column sortable as well, so I'll just continue to read the archive categories. Nonetheless, thanks for the help.

^(T|C) 09:37, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I already have them arranged initially by the time nominated (although this might cause inconsistencies with time zones, but we can deal with that later on), but the reason I'm not making subheaders for the years is because some users may try to organize the headers alphabetically to find a particular article nomination.

^(T|C) 13:01, 9 February 2017 (EST)

If that's the case, then I say we reorganize the categories so that their alphabetical arrangement is consistent. The current setup makes it harder to navigate; you can look at Category:Feature failure archives as an example of my point. The first six archives listed there are already problematic. The Blooper nomination is listed before the Bike nomination, and the second and third nominations of Baby Mario are listed around the third nomination for Boo, and the Paper Mario bestiary nomination is listed between the second Baby Mario nomination and the Bike nomination! Reorganizing these archives may require admin intervention (since they're, well, archives) but that might be a good start for fixing up the actually totally-out-of-shape Featured Articles archives.

^(T|C) 13:45, 9 February 2017 (EST)

That sounds like a good idea. Though I can tell you at least two things that I feel need to be addressed:

The nomination number. What I mean by that is, was the nomination first/second/third/whatever for that particular article? If you take a look at my table, you might understand what I mean.
An extensive color code, which, again, I have included in my table. I feel that it might be important so that users don't just assume right off the bat that an article is featured/unfeatured when it in fact had its FA status changed. I also decided on the color scheme I implemented to remain consistent with the Proposals archive.

Yes, I will definitely edit your table to the best of my ability. Perhaps we might be closer than we think to proposing this...

^(T|C) 14:43, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Something's wrong

In both of the pictures in What Goes Up..., Wario is not seen in last place. Take a better picture lol

Jk, of course

Noticeboard reports

Haha, I swear I checked Recent Changes just in time to see those vandal edits. Thanks for reporting anyway. Mario JC 03:01, 9 March 2017 (EST)

Image Fixing

I guess you can use Homebrew on your 3DS? If so, remember, you uploaded these:

--Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:59, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Definitely.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 19:00, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Good work. More clean-up related to golf scoring (Bogey, Birdie, Par, etc.):

Now for a separate upload: File:MSS Tennis CSS.jpeg (not needed because File:MSSBaseballCSS.png?) --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:43, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

Sure I can do Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach's stuff. However, the tennis CSS has PGP and Metal Mario unlocked. I have yet to unlcok Metal Mario in baseball, so I guess the tennis one will do.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 17:58, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

You're doing other images too that are not from the recent 3DS release? I wanted those to be overwritten too when I was doing Bogey for Mario Golf (Nintendo 64) with high quality replacements but had no idea who to turn to. Now I know and I appreciate your effort to get those images replaced. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 04:45, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Why thanks a lot for the remark! Fortunately, since HANs works in my 3DS, I can now retake Mario Party: Star Rush screenshots. This might take a while to get to @.@

Mario Sports Superstars

Do you know the people that edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page? Do you know who enables people to edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page. If so, could I have access to edit that page? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarioSportsSuperstars (talk).

You have to make five edits and wait four days to be "autoconfirmed." Autoconfirmed users can edit more pages, like Mario Sports Superstars. Sorry for the inconvenience. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2017 (EDT)

To answer that first question, 90% of the work on the Mario Sports Superstars page is my own mostly because typically, these pages don't get that much attention, so I felt like I had to step in (and because I loved the game a lot) to do much of the work. If you want suggestions on how to improve the page while you wait to be autoconfirmed, try speaking to me or posting it on a talk page.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 21:10, 18 March 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, I think I know marios horse racing stat. I will wait to be auto confirmed.

Speed
Recovery
Turning

Feel free to add that to the article once you become autonconfirmed.

Xiahou Ba^{(the Nasty Warrior)} 15:22, 19 March 2017 (EDT)

Can you edit more than 5 pages before being autoconfirmed?— The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarioSportsSuperstars (talk).

Sure you can! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:26, 19 March 2017 (EDT)

Do I wait four days or a week to be autoconfirmed.— The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarioSportsSuperstars (talk).

Duplicate Image Found and Will Be Deleted

File:Papermario.jpg was found to be a duplicate/replacement of File:Paper Mario 64 box.png and has been tagged for deletion. Your userpage is using the older file. Just a heads up. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:15, 3 April 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for the heads up, the link has been corrected.

Super Mario Galaxy

What's wrong with Super Mario Galaxy and it's crappy sequel? Polterpup (talk) 15:34, 5 April 2017 (EDT)

Looks like you have to change the trivia section on your userpage. I also get upset when people confuse astrology and astronomy. Keep up the good work on the wiki. =) Polterpup (talk) 20:56, 18 April 2017 (EDT)

RE: Scarescraper

For some strange reason, I can't get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon to load with HANS. It stays stuck on invalidated icache. I have been able to do it before since September 2016. Just to make sure it wasn't me on 11.3.0-36, I tested Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and that worked perfectly. I tested this on an older version and latest version of HANS. I don't know what is going on with me. I'm going to have to investigate this further over on /r/3dshacks on Reddit. Report back to me if you have issues too (along with what version of the 3DS firmware you are using). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:42, 20 April 2017 (EDT)

I think I have a potential lead how to get around this issue: [1] Even though this is not what we are experiencing, it could be related and this is what we should try. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 14:35, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

RE: Well

Nothing gets past you, I see. I'll try harder next time. Mario4Ever (talk) 21:03, 25 April 2017 (EDT)

Beautiful MSS screenshots. Have you been capturing them yourself?

Shokora (talk · edits) 03:13, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

Nice. What is the latest version that supports the "homebrew" and HANS techniques? My 3DS original is version 11.2.0-35E, is it possible? I'm completely new to this stuff, so please assume that I know nothing :)

By the way, how's Lefty doing?

Shokora (talk · edits) 07:05, 28 April 2017 (EDT)

For Soundhax, which region is safe to select for Australia/New Zealand?

And it's good to hear Lefty is keeping herself busy with other projects.

Shokora (talk · edits) 19:45, 28 April 2017 (EDT)

Damn. I don't want to risk anything going wrong, so I won't try it. Hopefully they fully support it sometime soon.

Re:Featured Articles

I, too, have updated my version of the page with the 2017 nominations you added to your own version. ^(T|C) 18:20, 27 April 2017 (EDT)

Life, the universe, and this one dork on Earth

I have been floating around the Internet on other sites, but for the most part, I was sleeping and generally taking it easy. There was a lot happening at the time I stopped popping up here, but for the most part, I've at least gotten over the biggest hurdle. Still, I miss having fun and having discussions with everyone here, and at the very least, I have a few unfinished projects to go through. I'm not sure I'll fully swing back into action immediately, but I'll get into the swing of things soon enough, I think. I just want to have fun right now and enjoy myself.

Galleries with Media

Gallery:Baby Luigi - During the voting period of the proposal, some galleries were using media files with the OGG extension and pages are hard-linking to the files. It's on the to-do list of pages to modify. It's not many. It's mostly Mario Party (series) and Mario Kart (series) pages that are doing that. Any template that uses a song or music parameter. You can follow the conversation of related dealings here. pwb.py replace -start:! -ns:Gallery ".ogg" ".oga". You can continue doing that to galleries if you want, but keep in mind that if the bot is working in that namespace, your edits could interfere with its operation. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:58, 3 May 2017 (EDT)

Thanks for letting me know that. I just want to make Baby Luigi-related edits, so I don't really want to edit all galleries. It'd be my last.
