Regarding this, there's no connection, and I don't know why you assumed there was. 21:55, 14 February 2019 (EST) Oh, sorry. Their usernames both sound similar and end in a year, so, sorry. Also, the accounts were both created within a short time of each other, so I assumed the accounts were related. TheDarkStar(talk) 22:04, 14 February 2019 (EST)
 * They were created almost a whole day apart, but admins check the IPs of new users that register. It's how the connection to their original account was made in the first place. You're not in trouble, but for future reference, if you think something's up with a user, contact an admin rather than directly confronting them. 22:15, 14 February 2019 (EST)

Oh, okay. I'll try to remember that next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 22:21, 14 February 2019 (EST)

I am not trying to vandalize
Who you please stop calling it vandalism I am not trying to vandalize the article and I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible. I apologize if it comes off this way though my intent is to try improve this wiki not vandalize it.


 * The edits in question were either redundant or speculative(Kate Higgins could just as possibly be actually singing). TheDarkStar (talk) 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * I just said this to Doomhiker this afternoon, don't be so quick to call edits vandalism if they look like they are actually trying to accomplish something. Unless it's blatant vandalism, an edit summary or talk page explanation would be helpful.
 * That said, apologies for the edit war. I just got home and am a little tired, so I thought the full name used on the page was what the actual article was called :P 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 23:22, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * A similar situation happened here. Make sure to consider all possibilities of an edit not being vandalism before calling it vandalism especially in this case as many users do not know that we do not cover fan-made content. 17:09, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I didn't know of the mods. I will try to do a bit more research next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 17:55, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

"enemies that only reappear in one game"
The SMB3 enemies only reappeared in one game when SMB&F was released, keep in mind. And that does matter. Very much. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (EST)
 * OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (EST)

New, more compressed version of https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64.png#file
Hi! I'm new to this wiki so I don't know how this works, but I made a more compressed (lossless) version of it via TinyPNG. It is around 600 kilobytes as opposed to the former 5 megabytes. No idea how this site works, but I uploaded it here. https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64_(1).png It says I can't overwrite it or something on the original page. Could you add it in for me?


 * Sorry, but I'm not the one you should ask about that. TheDarkStar (talk) 11:24, 9 March 2019 (EST)

Image category
really was not acceptable at all. It's obviously not from Donkey Kong, so it shouldn't go in that category. Removing the accidentally-extra colon would have been a much better thing to have done. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:50, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh. I did not know that the image category was existent. TheDarkStar (talk) 18:57, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good idea would have been to check the other image on the Rolling Frog page to see what it had. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:05, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, thanks! TheDarkStar (talk) 20:54, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Reverting edits
Don't simply continuously revert the edits leaving summaries telling the user to stop (this in particular was unnecessary). A lot of users don't check the history page or recent changes and therefore don't see the summaries, and in the case of vandals (if they do see it), would only provoke them further. In the future, leave a post on their talk page telling them what they did wrong, that way they'd be notified. 00:47, March 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. I'll try to do that next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 00:53, March 20, 2019 (EDT)

Sea Cactus and Neuron
See this conversation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:16, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
 * I have reverted it. Thanks for letting me know. TheDarkStar (talk) 15:30, March 29, 2019 (EDT)

Hello.
Do you know how can I create my userpage? It says I can't. --Tent2 (talk) 18:03, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Only autoconfirmed users can create pages. TheDarkStar (talk) 18:33, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

Ice Cherbil
Add that quote to BJAODN/Enemies, that is amazing XD 21:55, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thanks, I will do that straight away! :D TheDarkStar (talk) 21:56, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * Added it. View it here! TheDarkStar (talk) 22:04, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think that might mean they don't take damage from it.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:40, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

"Plagiarism"
Quoting something is not plagiarism, and neither is listing an official description. "Plagiarism" is trying to pass something off as one's own writing when it isn't. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:40, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 22:43, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
 * They don't need to mention the brochure, it's not like they're writing an essay. It really only needs to be said that it's in-game text if it has writing that would otherwise go against our standards. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:53, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, sorry. 21:57, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

Thanks
Thank you for helping me with that mario and luigi glitch &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:43, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're welcome. You might want to update your signature, though. 19:35, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

What is wrong with it. I tried to be original :) &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:04, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
 * I let you know on your talk page. 20:06, April 2, 2019 (EDT)

It's finally here.
Listen to it. --  Tent2   16:23, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Thank you! Definitely adding it to my userpage :D 16:22, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

OGA Redirect
That redirect you made like minutes ago kinda broke the file, since now its playing the old version that Mikoro uploaded. -- 17:21, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I will check and see what's wrong. Just clicking the "Upload a new version of this file" button would have made this a lot easier. 17:23, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I checked, nothing's wrong. 17:24, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's probably just my browser, but its still playing the 1:19 second file audio for me. --  17:26, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Try Ctrl+F5. And please stop adding in raw code for your signature, look at this. 17:27, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * I know that, but I still kinda need to get permission to create the signature page. -- 17:40, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * What do you mean? You're autoconfirmed. 17:41, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * No, I am not. I still need two days more to be autoconfirmed. -- [[File:Shroob_Walking.gif]] 17:43, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * Ah, I see. Wait two days, then. 17:44, April 3, 2019 (EDT)

I think I finally got it.
I'm not sure, though. -- 20:13, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * Wow, you finally created your signature? I thought you were going to be autoconfirmed in two days, not one. 20:19, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Plagiarism
You say that like that was the user's intention. The user was most likely trying to quote the brochure but just didn't mention it, especially since, as you yourself stated, they mentioned it the first few times. Don't always assume bad faith in other users. 21:57, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. 21:58, April 4, 2019 (EDT)

RE:userbox
Yes you can if I can use yours! &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:57, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * You may. Just copy-paste the code I left on your talk page. :D 18:58, April 5, 2019 (EDT)

A letter from The CoolYoshi
Dear TheDarkStar,

I am witting you a message in your talk page for a second. When I edit the article, DK's Jungle Adventure, you undo my edits and said that your wording is better than mine on this wiki. You know that it is the easiest board in the first Mario Party game for the Nintendo 64. It is rated 1 out of 3 stars. And the winning player gets a golden banana bunch from the chest. When I edited again, you made a second undo! You said that the previous wording is better than mine! I edited the article one more time and you undo it one more time at least. And I am so sorry that you undo my work.

Your Friend, The CoolYoshi


 * The only thing you did at all was change the words unnecessarily to other ones that fit less. Sorry, but i'll have to side with TheDarkStar on this one. -- 15:26, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, by the way, when you want to sign your messages, you should write up four tildes, since that's the default signature option. -- 15:28, April 6, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I've let them know multiple times. Thanks. 15:37, April 6, 2019 (EDT)

And for the record...
He's animated now. -- 21:30, April 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * Wow, thanks! Definitely adding it to my userpage :D 21:33, April 7, 2019 (EDT)

"This went unseen for years"
Um, the "no contractions" rule is only a few months old..... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:46, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh. 14:46, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Undo
Why did you undo my bomb-omb edit? &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 17:27, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * It made things make less sense. The square brackets mean that a sentence is referring to something not named in the actual dialogue. You needlessly removed those, making the text pretty nonsensical. 18:43, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, please try not to give people a hard time for undoing your edits, because that violates the courtesy policy. 18:45, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * The same policy explicitly states: "If they did not explain themselves in any of their edit summaries, you can contact them and ask why they reverted your edits, but don't be defensive or hostile about it." No policy was breached in his comment, as there was no hostility. 18:49, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * User talk:Mario jc. 18:52, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * How is that being hostile?-- 18:55, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh, wrong link. Sorry... 18:55, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick. Hopefully this clears it up... sorry. 18:56, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * I mean, all caps translates into yelling and having a frowning face could be considered as a mean of giving another user a hard time for undoing an edit. 18:57, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, that's what I was going off. 18:59, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sorry I was a little mad sorry... also QUOTE:”It made things make less sense. The square brackets mean that a sentence is referring to something not named in the actual dialogue. You needlessly removed those, making the text pretty nonsensical.” What are you talking about dark star? It is a wiki and I have never seen that anywhere else so I was trying to make it follow the wiki and it looked unprofessional so yeah. &#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 19:03, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry and thanks
Sorry about all the typos I am gojng of of DK Wiki so please forgive me I am not perfect&#91;-&#93;€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:39, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
 * Eh, it's ok. 20:41, April 9, 2019 (EDT)
