User talk:GBAToad

Hi, you've reached my talk page. If I don’t respond to a message immediately, it probably means I’m busy editing the awesome wiki you are currently looking at (LONG LIVE MARIOWIKI AND ITS USERS). I don’t have a proper e-mail account yet, so you can’t really reach me on the forums if your message is really important (sorry D:).

If you don't mind, I'd prefer that you did not use vulgar language, but feel free to sign with your own signature (I love how creative some of them are.) :D

Welcome!
Thanks to YoshiKong for coding the collapsible box!

Re: Thanks!
You're welcome! Would you mind to caption the character arts as well after I put them on the article?


 * You are, well done.


 * There are also some more art and screenshots to upload, but I need to go now so I'll get them later. Nice to meet you.

Mario Kills Tanooki
How about a page for all Mario-controversies? Or for controversies of PETA where Mario appeard in? 'Cause Mario appeared in PETA's campaign against KFC en McDonald's too. Yes man (talk) 11:26, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

RE: Luigi's Mansion
I'm not really familiar with the game, so I wouldn't really know what to look for. I suggest that you ask Yami. She's got a device which can capture quality screenshots straight from her 3DS.

Re: You. Are. Awesome.
Awww, thanks so much for your kind words. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the articles - especially the second one, since I was a bit worried that readers' eyes would glaze over once the science lecture kicked in. It's very awesome that you want to learn more about genetics, and this is a great time to be interested in the field: what I talked about was barely scratching the surface of the amazing things that happen in our genomes, and our knowledge of genetics is moving forward in leaps and bounds thanks to modern technology. It's fascinating stuff, and I hope you'll have as much geeky fun learning about it as I have over the years. Thanks again, talk to you later! - 21:20, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Yeah, when I heard about Pokémon X and Y, I immediately thought about chromosomes too: I also hope that that particular allusion plays into the games somehow. My favourite part of genetics was learning how to solve complex puzzles using APOG (the Awesome Power Of Genetics), sorta like what I did for the Koopalings, but way trickier (it was second year university, after all), with multiple genes and with the end goal being to actually map out where those genes are found on the chromosomes. Experiment-wise, the most interesting thing I got to do was make bacteria glow in my Grade 12 biology and biotechnology classes; if you're interested, I actually wrote a Mario fanfiction that is basically a walkthrough of exactly how to do the lab (my biology teacher asked us to do creative lab reports, and that is what I came up with). - 00:53, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Controversies
When are you going to make that page about Mario controversies? Yes man (talk) 04:44, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Re:Proposal
Hi, very sorry for the late reply. We don't have a page for that, so by all means, go ahead and create a Proposal about it. As for where to put it, here would be good.

Re: Coding help
Sure man. How does this look:

You can customize the colors if you want, and if you need any further help with anything let me know.

Thanks!

Re: Conjectural Name
Bomb Sled, eh? If the name is brief and descriptive, then it's a suitable conjectural name.

01:36, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

Re: Wario
It would be appropriate, yes. -- 21:05, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

Yes
I'll help once I get these names changed appropriately. -- 09:24, 7 May 2013 (EDT)
 * Right, there's some on the starting sprites for the characters in Mario Party 7, you do some. -- 09:35, 7 May 2013 (EDT)

Redirect deletions
Hey there, great job with moving the filenames, but may I just point out one very minor issue. When tagging redirects for deletion, be sure to tag it above, not below the redirect coding. This way, the redirect would be broken so the page is easier to reach. Thanks for reading, and keep contributing.

09:45, 8 May 2013 (EDT)

File renames
Hello, thanks for the help for getting rid of repulsive filenames I regrettably made. However, I should have handled renaming some of the MKAGP2 names, since some of them are disorganized if you play the game (for example, the Baby Mario and Baby Luigi arts you did; they're out of order in actuality so I had to take the task of renaming some of them into the order encountered in the course). 20:09, 9 May 2013 (EDT)
 * I don't mind at all if you do any at all! Bu if there's any art you're unsure what it's supposed to be, and I uploaded it, it's best to inform me about it. I don't like renaming files myself; it's too much of a big hassle to change all the links around. 18:36, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

Re: Proposal
It should be archived as soon as it meets the deadline, so users won't vote cast invalid votes after the deadline has passed.


 * Well I got the gist of it, and it was still funny ;P

05:20, 10 May 2013 (EDT)

Re: Err on the side of caution
Great! I'll just give it a read. The idea was discussed amongst admins in late April, so I'll just bring it up again and I'll let you know :)


 * Yep you can create it.

10:33, 12 May 2013 (EDT)

Re: DKCR3D
Feel free to split. There shouldn't be many more official release images left, though I kinda was disappointed of the lack of unique artwork. Most of it has been reused from the Wii version.


 * If I was to split it, It would have to be tomorrow. Though if you feel like it, then go ahead and do so sooner :)

08:06, 16 May 2013 (EDT)

Galleries
Most of the galleries are done, I believe, but you can search this template to find any galleries that are not organized yet. 19:08, 16 May 2013 (EDT)


 * The layout is pretty simple, but of course you can look at better-looking galleries to see how the coding works and all. 14:37, 19 May 2013 (EDT)

Re: NSLU pics
I was just about to do that, but if you wanted to, then I guess that's fine.

Re:Mario-related controversies
Hi! Nice to meet you :p

It's true that I tried to improve this article, because I find it interesting. You did a great job creating this article! By the way, I just created a new redirect: Controversies.

I looked up your sandbox, here are my answers:


 * Birdo's Gender. — Maybe you could find some informations here. Pretty complete and accurate.


 * Ashley — I thought about the last point: I think a sped-up version of the first solo only should be uploaded. Also, sped-up by the game, not by some software (if there's any difference)


 * Universal accuracy — I don't really know :/ Did you reword everything or is it some copy/paste? :)


 * PETA images — Some images would be fine :)


 * Mario Party 8 — ?


 * Other lawsuits — There is this one, but it's Nintendo who sues somebody this time. This one is only about the 3DS. However, this one seems good. The same one, and the same one, again.


 * Other notes — What warning?

On a side note, I think the whole article should be organized differently. For example, the subsection title should be the name of the game, rather than the theme; or the opposite; anyway, I think it's currently not very consistent. What do you think? 14:11, 18 May 2013 (EDT)


 * The last line from the Wikipedia subsection is another controvery from Mario Party: Another was Wario and Luigi saying "Oh, my God!" in the Japanese version of the game. Wario's line was replaced by "D'oh, I missed!" in the North American version and Mario Party 2.

Do you think we should also include every controversy censorship? 14:14, 18 May 2013 (EDT)


 * You're welcome! And yes, the organization is fine after all.


 * Birdo's Gender. — Yeah, it's not really a controversy and it has not been acknowledged by Nintendo. This should just go to the Birdo article.


 * Ashley — I think both the full track and the sped-up part should be here


 * Universal accuracy — Again, you did a great work! I don't have a lot of time right now, so I can't "check" if it's accurate


 * PETA images — I don't find the game too gore, but if it is we could just upload a screenshot of the title screen.


 * Mario Party 8 — Oh yeah, I'm dumb haha. I think we can upload the image (maybe we should ask some admins?)


 * Other lawsuits — Thank you! But you know, I just googled "mario lawsuit nintendo" and found some interesting results! There must be plenty of other lawsuits.


 * Other notes — Oh yeah :p I think we should just try to avoid personal views and be as objectif as possible, and then remove the warning.


 * Oh and, I made a stupid mistake: I wrote "Do you think we should also include every controversy?" instead of "Do you think we should also include every censorship?". What do you think about it?


 * Here is my user box :


 * I found a list of changes from Japan to America in the Mario games. Here it is. Some might be censorships, so we should check it out :) Here is an example. This one is more subtile, but I think the edit has been done to avoid any sexual allusion.


 * As for the Birdo-controversy, I think it's a kind of censorship because the original manual of SMB2 states "Birdo thinks he is a girl and likes to be called Birdetta. He likes to wear a bow on his head and shoot eggs from his mouth", while the American version doesn't talk about transgender.


 * 12:50, 20 May 2013 (EDT)


 * I agree with that procedure, except for a little thing: I think we should not create a Censorship subsection. The examples of censorhips would go directly on the right subsection :) By the way, it looked like Bowser was doing a [wikipedia:Bras d'honneur|bras d'honneur], so they edit its posture to avoid any offense. Maybe it's not as vulgar in Japan? As for Vivian's gender change, how is that a controversial edit? I just want to know :) 12:53, 21 May 2013 (EDT)
 * A quick way to find controversies if to search for "controversy" in the wiki. Results page. An example. 13:13, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

Once again, great job!

I will try to write as much as I can when I have free time, because until now I haven't done much on the article :/ By the way, do you think the NSMBW lawsuit belongs in this article? I think it should be merged into the New Super Mario Bros. article somewhere, because, IMHO, it's not Nintendo that is disputed, nobody got offended by Nintendo (except Burt I guess). 13:38, 23 May 2013 (EDT)

Hello
Hello GBAToad.. please read this :Courtesy.

You completed my project in "List of microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y." without asking or checking me at all. This is some kind of rude, so please don't do it again. I know it was a month before last edit, but I was in school and I wrote on my userpage that this is my project.

Just to tell you: some users may be very angry if you do that with them, so be careful. -- 03:08, 19 May 2013 (EDT)


 * Don't worry I'm not annoyed, but listen: If a page is incomplete(example: "List of microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y." has got only two tables and the rest are not tables) check the user and contact him.. If it didn't got any tables at all then you can add it as you like.!

You understand I mean I had the second project for example creating worlds for NSMB. but If I didn't start it, then anyone -even if I'd got that project on my userpage- could start it.-- 03:56, 19 May 2013 (EDT)
 * Wanna be friends? here is my userbox:

Userbox help
check this and tell me if you like it:

-- 05:10, 19 May 2013 (EDT) You are welcome.. anytime you need a thing just tell me.. If you want to improve your talkpage I've got some codes to help!

RE:Uploads
Yes to Ashley's song and the Tanooki logo, but the MP8 and SMB2 image needs better quailty.
