Status: School has started, and combined with volunteering and work, my free time for editing is going to drop pretty drastically. I'll still try to get some stuff done, however, and as always, if you have any questions or concerns or need help with something, fire away and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

RE:Last Warning
Hello, Annieflower678 is my sister and she hates me. She did the FA nomination thing for fun, we have to share the same computer at home, and most importantly, I`m not sockpuppeting. It maybe was a mistake,but is everything cool?

Trivia Guidelines Passed
I saw that the proposal has passed and the draft is now complete with your ideas added. I guess I'll make the page right now, and maybe you or another user can help me with the grammar, you know.


 * Oh, well, I admit I'm not the best speaking English (oviously is not my original language), but OK, make the changes if necessary. As for the title, I was thinkin about it right now, but I guess saying just "Trivia" is more accessible.

My Warning
Hi Walkazo,

recently GreenDisaster gave me a warning, which so far as memory could serve, was not done by me. I was accused of removing his comment, him proving this by sharing with me the recent changes. However, when I checked the recent changes from a separate link, it was not the case, with someone else removing the comment. I don't want to involve you but GD hasn't replied yet and since I'm down on my last or so warning I want to remove it straight away. Here's a link to all this: Check my talk page (only 1 page long) to see his warning. Hope you can help and thanks, 14:58, 3 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Thank you for your quick answer, much appreciated. I might as well appeal it, I've got nothing to lose. Yes you are right, nothing was intentional but I don't think GD will accept that somehow. First thing tomorrow I will try. Again thanks, 16:40, 3 September 2012 (EDT)

Opera Finn
I don't really get why they renamed the page. They could clearly see the title on the box, right? --SmartieMaxx (talk) 21:15, 7 September 2012 (EDT)


 * I can answer this one - or maybe the person already knows, but yet is just ignorant that we are to be consistent with the final titles that Nintendo puts on the game boxes like with New Super Mario Bros. 2. Regardless, Opera Finn is blocked for three months now and has already been notified by Walkazo to cease and decist this nonsense; otherwise, their editing abilities will be revoked permanently. --M.

 * Maybe they were misinformed, maybe they simply thought their name was better, or maybe they were just trollin'... Who knows? Who cares? I don't: they were warned, and now they're blocked, so that's the end of that as far as I'm concerned. - Walkazo 21:23, 7 September 2012 (EDT)

Help
I'm trying to upload this image with transparency (I did it in GIMP) but even though I upload the right file I still have the blue background from the sprite sheet. And if I try to revert or try again the pics on the revision history are transparent. What should I do?
 * It only looks like the blue is still there: your computer's remembering the older version of the image. Just wait a bit and you'll see that the current version is transparent like the thumbnails in the revision history says it should be. It's already transparent for me (and other viewers), so no worries. - Walkazo 22:39, 8 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Thanks :)

RE: Minor edits policy
Your welcome, and it was a pleasure to be of some assistance. I thought that we needed a complete guideline in our policies, because I have witnessed a few cases where a user was confused about what counts as "Minor". And about the Notice Template policy, I apologise for not getting back to you. It's not that I forgot, but I thought that you would just got ahead with it. But yes, please do. Just let me know when a decision has been made.

Help
I keep being banned by Raven Effect for no reason! Please let me create an account! I promise I won't be bad. And I'm NOT sockpuppeting!
 * Creating more than one account is sockpuppeting and that's what you're doing: the administration has tools to prove that you're Snifit 1 and various other accounts, so don't try to deny it. As Snifit 1 you vandalized pages repeatedly, including posting links to a website that gives viruses. That's unacceptable and because of that, you will never be allowed to create an account and edit here again. Your promises man nothing. Give up and go somewhere else. - Walkazo 23:17, 15 September 2012 (EDT)

I am not saying I'm not S1. And you deleted my comment earlier! Thats against the rules! Some admin your are! Check your grammar too. Derpa

Yoshi's Safari Koopalings
Hi.

When you said that the Koopalings were referred to as Bowser's kids in Yoshi's Safari, was this in the Japanese version as well? If it's English or International exclusive, we probably need to reword it again. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 22:18, 21 September 2012 (EDT)


 * I've only found the English box so far, but the whole "mistranslation" argument is flimsy at best, so it shouldn't matter: a fact's a fact. I'd be worth mentioning in the overall Koopaling page, but if you're talking about the seven specific articles, no, we don't have to reword 'em again, because the whole Japanese-vs-English thing is too nitty-gritty for those intros. All that really needs to be said in the specific character pages is that a couple official things called them Bowser's kids, but that the idea wasn't exactly given the spotlight, and now it's apparently been dropped altogether. The details can be saved for Koopalings. - Walkazo 22:31, 21 September 2012 (EDT)


 * Fine, although we'll still need LinkTheLefty to settle this issue. He's pretty well versed in Japanese, so he might be able to settle the issue. They may have been stated as such in the YS Japanese Manual, they may have not, but we really shouldn't presume anything until it is confirmed one way or another, that's why we need the Japanese line. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 22:38, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Yes, but we're not presuming anything. The back of the box of the English version of Yoshi's Safari said they're "Bowser's offspring", which means we can't say "all post-SMB3 games ignore the relationship", just that "most" of them do so, and that's all that's being said on those pages. The language stuff stays on the Koopalings page where it can be properly discussed, and currently, nothing at all has been added about the Yoshi's Safari box anyway: I haven't had time yet, but when I do, I'll say "the English box". I'll still try to find the Japanese box, however: the more info, the better (and I've been studying Japanese in university, so I can actually translate stuff too, and do Google searches in Japanese, and whatnot - LTL's not our only resource for this matter). - Walkazo 22:56, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Maybe, and the Super Mario World promotional materials also hinted in the English version that they were Bowser's Kids, even when the Japanese version does not mention it at all. Anyone can cite the English version as proof. Don't forget, in the English versions of the Sonic franchise, most of the games took place on a planet named Mobius until the release of Sonic Adventure revealed that it was actually a parallel Earth. Unless we have absolute proof about the Koopalings being referred to as Bowser's kids in the Japanese version, we really should not presume that the English versions did a direct translation of the Japanese materials for Yoshi's Safari. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 23:12, 21 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Again, I did not make any such presumption: I was just talking about the English box, I didn't say anything about it being a translation, nor did bring up the Japanese at all; I also wasn't using it as proof to try and argue they're siblings, just that something other than SMB3 and the cartoons/comics said they were at some point (back in the day). And don't you forget that all official info is equal, regardless of language, media type, or whatever. If there's a discrepancy between the English and the Japanese, that just means that there's a difference between the versions, not that one is wrong and one is right: making calls like that would be presumptuous of us. All we can do is present all the facts, conflicting though they may be; fortunately, the Koopalings page is doing a good job of it so far, and the individual articles have good broad-strokes summaries of their history. - Walkazo 23:32, 21 September 2012 (EDT)

Question
hey walkazo i have a question,it said in the Super Mario Bros. 2 manual states that Birdo is a male who thinks he's a female,is that true? please respond <:D --Zack213 (talk) 20:27, 27 September 2012 (EDT)
 * Yep, it's true. - Walkazo 22:03, 27 September 2012 (EDT)

ok but still birdo thinks hes a girl in 2012 or not? cause in her page its says that SHE is also playable in the Japanese game Itadaki Street DS, SHE is one of the opponents to defeat in the Japanese game Yakuman DS. i am so confused
 * I don't know about how those games portray her, but the Japan-only Captain Rainbow seemed to stick to the idea that Birdo was not born as a female, yet identifies that as her gender, and to my knowledge, all post-SMB2 English translations simply say she's female without getting into details. The exception to this is SMBB, which calls her "gender indeterminate" and uses the pronoun "it", but that's a rather uncouth take on the matter: the pronoun corresponding to the gender that someones identifies as is what should be used. So either way (whether natural-born or trans), Birdo is a "she", and around the wiki, we simply say she's female (going alone with the current English story), leaving this section to discus the full scope of the matter. - Walkazo 07:19, 1 October 2012 (EDT)
