Your talk is..empty?
"Wanna be friends?"

- User:DaisyLuigi


 * Yes, my talk was empty. As for making friends, I didn't know that people could make friends on MarioWiki user pages before. I don't mind making friends, though, but I usually spend most of the free time on other things, not MarioWiki, so I may not want to have long chats on Mario-related topics. Any way, making friends is OK. Thank you for visiting. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 20:50, 18 November 2014 (EST)
 * You work on Wikipedia related topics? That is so cool! Well, sorry for interrupting your work!
 * Ah no, I'm not a Wikipedia editor, I was just giving a link. Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 21:00, 18 November 2014 (EST)

Reference shortcut
Thanks so much for going back and adding all the TMK citations! For cases where a page was cited multiple times, you can actually use a single citation, like this. It's easier to manage once you know how to do it, and it looks better too. Thanks again! - 10:28, 24 February 2015 (EST)

RE: Japanese Help
Hello,

concerning the japanese tattle of Goompa, I translated it, but this unfortunately has not given me his name. The tattle refers to him as "jiichan", which means "Grandpa" in English. Is there any other text in the game likely to mention his Japanese name?

 * I played the game from start. This is said by Goompa when fixing the veranda. The right column is those from Paper Mario.

 * The intersection part is "クリじい". The Mushroom Kingdom say it's just Goompa's name. Looks like it is... is it? Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 10:30, 27 February 2015 (EST)

TTYD Completion Guide
In case you haven't seen this already, I stumbled upon this guide that lists all the items for each location in the Thousand-Year Door. You've done a great job listing all the items for Paper Mario, so this might just be up your alley. --Zootalo (talk) 01:44, 28 April 2015 (EDT)
 * That would be a great project to participate in. By the way, that guide has missed some special items such as Battle Trunks, and items got from characters such as Couple's Cake, so this wiki can be more comprehensive if we include them as well.

Friends?
Can we be friends? Here's my userbox:

Paper Mario Item Drops
The item drops from the Stat/Attack Guide on GameFAQs should be as accurate as they come for WHAT is dropped, but there hasn't been anything for how often they do (I'm still waiting for a hacking tool that shows drop rates). Binary was working on that a bit a few weeks back but apparently wanted me to do it instead. =P Having said that, mentioning what items are dropped from enemies is fine; having another table (on top of "Items Found" and "hidden block locations") would otherwise make the pages look rather unkempt. That's my opinion anyway. --Zootalo (talk) 01:19, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
 * Thanks for your explanation, but I'd rather like to know if the list is comprehensive. For example, does "N/A" mean "there may be items dropped but hasn't been caught sight of", or "it's confirmed that there are no item drops"? And does "Mushroom" mean that items other than Mushrooms can't be dropped? Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 09:20, 11 May 2015 (EDT)
 * I updated the bestiary so that it provides more information: enemies with "N/A" in their Items field means they don't drop coins or items because they're part of special (read:boss) battles, or are not present in the field (Swoopers, Medi Guys, White/Red/Green/Yellow/Gray Magikoopas, etc.), so they couldn't drop items anyway because only enemies on the field do. "None" means that while these enemies on the field can drop coins after a battle, they never drop items. And you're correct on the item types; any items listed in the field are all they drop (unless the guide is missing some information). --Zootalo (talk) 11:21, 11 May 2015 (EDT)

The guide says that most of the enemy information is correct, and this includes items. However, I was worried when I found this in the history section: Version 2.0 - December 2006. - Added some item drops for Duplighost and Lakitu.

Version 1.1 - August 2006. - Some additions to the item information for Bzzap!, Groove Guy, and Shy Guy. do you think it's 100% trustworthy now? Another gossip-loving Toad (talk) 02:13, 12 May 2015 (EDT)
 * To slightly interject here, if anyone wants, I could work on it, I only stopped briefly because my main focus was finding out what was dropped, now that I've done that, I could get actual statistics. Binarystep (talk) 02:24, 12 May 2015 (EDT)
