Yeah, about that
I have no idea how to make one so I do not have a signature. This is how I sign.

Hey
Cleared your talk page eh? Anyway, just finished Sunshine mission redirects. Now on to SM64. I also expanded on the level information in Pianta Village and Noki Bay.

Oh, Okay
I'll get into the habit of putting my username down. People want to know who I am, right?

Re:Saudy
I wasn't active when he was blocked, but my guess is that it was because of this. -- 21:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know. As I said, I wasn't active during that time. I'm assuming that's the reason because he was banned right after that incident. -- 21:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Around 5000, I believe. -- 22:04, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No. When I became a sysop (3/18/07), the patroller rank hadn't been created yet. -- 23:16, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't know a lot about monobooks. -- 23:26, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I told the administration that I probably wouldn't be active enough, but I've been online much more than I initially thought I would be. I guess I'll consider it. I'd love to be a sysop again, but I want to be sure that I'll be able to maintain my activity. -- 03:00, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * It's OK, I don't mind answering your questions. Anyway, 1. There were a lot of different factors, and when you placed them altogether, the prospect of Wayoshi being Willy was hard to argue against. I'll list my suspicions if you want me to. 2. I generally prefer to reply on my own talk page, but since I know a lot of users who do it the other way, I like to leave a reply on their talk page too. -- 17:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Oh i was Stuiped
Sorry It's because you wrote it in my Section So i thought it was you talking to me Sorry

Hey
Hey, I guess I am!
 * High School's goin alright, a little rocky, but alright. I don't really use either of my youtube or e-mail, so don't bother sending a message. If you'd like to chat, just leave a message on my talk page.
 * Well, i kinda did. i just revamped my account and didn't really do much

FI Gone?
It's okay. I'm not worried anymore. I'm just trying to make more MAINSPACE edits. I don't want to be proven as... the alternative.

I promise never to be a troll. Can you forgive me for all the commotion I've caused? 17:01, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

Voices
Shut up, I got confused.

Your monobook works fine for me. Did you remember to clear your cache after saving it? 00:44, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

CSS: I didn't copy if off of someone. I just though a "neon" color-like theme would be pretty. The problem I have are those darn tables and those warning templates. -_- 07:46, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Admin
Is there a way I can be an admin on this wiki? I really want to be one.

One question: So if I make 5000 edits on the wiki, I can become an admin?

You see, i only have 3 warnings. Thats not so bad. And besides, that was back when i first started editing alot and when i didn't know the rules that well. I also realized some of these rules are different from Wikipedia's. Anyway, back on topic. I might ask an admin for some advice.

OK, thanks. Fine, I won't get angry if people call me nick, i will just hold back the anger. And please stop bringing that up.

I used paint. 21:20, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

 * You must have a mac then nananana boo boo 22:19, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Yea, if someone calls me nick, i will just tell them nicely to call me Nicolas. Being nice never hurts, right? :)

Nope, only child. Being an only child is awesome.

How old are you btw? I already told ya i'm 13. Oh and your dad is nuts if he thinks that. JK. lolz.

Actually, I'm 12. I was just kidding. I am so surprised that another 12 year old edits the wikis! I thought i was the only one. I've been editing since i was 9. Also, do you know PikminKong's age?

Wow. Wow. Wow. I am surprised.

Probably. I ain't a doctor, bro. Anyway, I need to do some SM64 redirects, so we'll talk later.

Re:Image
I just used Paint and Windows Movie Maker and edited the image. --


 * It was either that or Media Player, can't remember. I used it to change the color of his clothes. --


 * You could, but it looks much better with Media Player. If you need help, ask me. --


 * I'm not that good at making PIs to be honest. :( Yeah, but Paint is free if you have a Microsoft computer. I'm not sure if it is if you have a Mac though. --


 * It should already be installed in your com then. Go to the bottom left corner, click the Start (or Microsoft symbol) button and click "All Programs". It should be under Accessories IIRC. --


 * Just save the picture or copy and paste it onto paint. I don't understand the last question though... --

Mesa back
Hey, its me. I finished all of the SM64 mission redirects, as well as putting (DS) by every DS mission. Me and PikminKong are settling a deal on SMG2 now.

Try copying it out of my monobook and edit the colors, etc. whatever way you want. P.S. You're going to be gone for a while? That stinks. Oh and also, try experimenting. I'm not an expert at programming; I have NO experience before I made my monobook.I still have little experience now :P 18:36, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Lost Password!
I forgot my password! I created a new user because I can't remember it, so don't report me! I was but now I'm Blue Toad ( Talk )

Please don't report me for sockpuppeting!

So you're back
Well... welcome back, Booderdash! How was your cruise? Was it fun? Was is Wario-infested? Well, I hope you had a great time! It's pretty nice to lay off the internet for a week, you know. 21:24, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Nintendo Land? At first, that sounded like an amusement park dedicated to Nintendo. Oh well. That still sounds like super-fun. I bet I can defeat all of those Mario Kart Wii players. You shouldn't be saddened to see Wii Remote controllers. I tried them out. Might take a bit of time getting used to them. Most of my gamecube controllers are crap from the years (i.e. messed-up control stick, worn-out spring on the L-button, etc.) and I can't BUY A NEW ONE! Grrr...

That Mario section at Toys R US sounds so awesome! I wish that I could go there too! Too bad that I live on like, the other side of the country. New York City seems to have everything, from Pokémon events to awesome-sounding Mario stuff.

Brawl isn't that old. In fact, it is about as old as Mario Kart Wii. Their release dates are pretty much the same. However, I like Melee more than Brawl, because usually, I play with CPUs and those creeps keep act like it's "elimate the human player!" I usually end up winning, though. I want a FREE FOR ALL, not a 3-vs-1 match! At least the CPUs in Melee don't do this; they go after the highest scoring person, but they still fight each other. Besides, Mario doesn't suck as much.

I want to get WarioWare D.I.Y. so I can make a microgame where it says, "Kill Wario!" and you slice his head off or something.

You can probably meet those people on FaceBook... if they have an account and they tell you who they are. Otherwise, I dunno. Besides, I don't use FaceBook so don't even try bothering to search for me in that... wretched site. 18:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

Re: A small favor (although you didn't make this header >_>)
Honestly, I have no idea. I just extracted the images from the ISO. I never saw them in-game. 16:35, 13 August 2010 (UTC)


 * An ISO is an archive of a data disc. In this case it was an archive of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 game disc. ISOs tend to be more tractable for editing than working directly with the disc. ISOs are also an important part of game piracy, so they tend to be stigmatized in spite of their legitimate uses. 03:39, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Its trivia. now stop it. the info is staying until an admin removes it, or a consensus is made. 16:01, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Saying, What's your problem huh? is rude also. a message can reolve this, not a warnings, Warnings are to be used in serious cases, not things that can be resolved via a simple note. I think you're the one with the overreactinattitude. 16:11, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Look. Maybe YOU don't think it's very accomplished, but for your information, I'm not a level 100 trainer. I'd rather not have level 100s, although the ones I do have make beating the Elite 4 very helpful. SO DON'T KNOCK ME! I get defensive EASILY.

Yeah. There's some pretty funny stuff in his videos, like how he beats level 100s with level 1 Pokemon.

 * Sure. I can always use help.

I won't start a revert war but...
yes! Why not? Everything should be mentioned if it is the truth? So do not revert what is true! The attack is optional right? What about optional bosses huh?
 * Hmm...I don't know, but maybe you're right. But we can't say the only non-optional attack. Something like the only attack that has to be obtained to process.

Hey bro
Dude! What happened to PikminKong? How come he got banned? He was one of my best friends on here!

Oh my god man thats terrible! I thought PikminKong was alright and knew what he was doing. Now I have a completely different thought about him. Also, I saw the warning you put on his talk page. Could you tell me some other things he was doing?

Did he undo any of my edits recently? Before he was blocked?

I cant find any edits of mine he reverted. Did u revert them back? Also, do you know some of the edits of mine he reverted?

Yeah i understand all the quote stuff. Thats fine. Anyway, i just got four games the past few days: Super Paper Mario, Wii Fit, We Ski, and Guitar Hero 1. I love super paper mario though, it is so fun! I already completed the first three chapters. Also trying to get all catch cards and recipes. I also have paper mario 2, but i dont have any recipes in that one and right now i'm stuck on Magnus Von Grapple 2.0 and cant beat him.

Well, actually, i have a few guitar heros: Guitar hero 1, Guitar Hero Aerosmith, Guitar Hero 3, Band Hero, and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s. I rented Guitar Hero 5 and world tour, they were awesome! But my parents probably wont buy those for me in a while.

Also, the only reason i dont have any recipes in paper mario 2 is because i never really focused on the recipe sidequest back when i started playing it years ago. But i am trying hard in spm to get all catch cards and recipes. Also, any tips on magnus von grapple 2.0? I always lose when he shoots the audience at me.

You there?

I know man! This wiki helps alot if you're stuck on a mario game! So, Power Lift uses up a lot of Star Power, but i think i might do it anyway. I've been stuck on Magnus Von Grapple for a few months, since i fought him a long time ago and just gave up. Haven't fought Bonetail or Shadow Queen yet, but i know for sure thats gonna be a pain in the you-know-what. Also, i press A when he shoots the audience at me, but i still take damage, just less damage. Is that supposed to happen?

I am freakin AWESOME at guitar hero, but i mainly play Rock Band. Speaking of rock band, i have Rock Band, Rock Band 2, Lego Rock Band, Beatles Rock Band, and the Rock Band Track Pack: Classic Rock. I am also getting Rock Band 3 when it comes out because it has a keyboard instrument with 25 keys.

Well, i'm being honest here, i've never used power lift in battle, so thanks for the tip. Imma try it out after i post this. So, you didnt answer my question, "Also, I press A when he shoots the audience at me, but I still take damage, just less damage. Is that supposed to happen?"

Hey, just tried Magnus 2.0 again. I used Power Lift twice, but i still died on the audience part. However, i managed to survive the first shooting of the audience, but he aimed for me the second time, not my partner. Also, who's your favorite partner in Paper Mario 2 and Super Paper Mario? For Paper Mario 2 I'd have to say Yoshi, and for Super Paper Mario I would say either Bowser or Mario (since i havent got Luigi yet.)

Also, what did you mean by "Theres gonna be more Chapter 2-3s" when you deleted my redirect?

Oh, well 'scuse me. Then my favorite Pixl is either Boomer or Carrie. So far I have Tippi, Thoreau, Thudley, Carrie, Barry, Boomer, and Slim.

And you still didnt answer my question from the last post.

Oh never mind. But how do you know theres gonna be more chapter 2-3s?

Oh ok. Cant wait for that game to come out by the way. Also cant wait for the Kid Icarus: Uprising for the 3DS. I sure hope i get that system when it comes out.

Also, how do you do archives with old talk page messages like you did in the corner of your talk page.

Oh?
I'm going to go anyway because my sister (BabyLuigiOnFire) is on a psychiatrist appointment. I hope i can talk to you later. My mom is getting really sick of our using the computer.

Right now, I'm just making grammar changes. Passive voice is littered everywhere on these articles. Maybe you can help me revert them to the active voice. And maybe you can help me add Mario Party minigame templates to all the minigames.

Nobody seems to appreciate my work D: I wrote all of this featured article (and missed ONE bonus) and NOBODY congratulated me for my work. I mean, check out the history. It's probably the only article that got featured RIGHT after it's created. While BabyLuigiOnFireis getting all the bells and whistles when she is just uploading sprites. Writing all the bonuses was a PAIN! you know.

Better stop complaining. I feel like Luigi while my sister is like Mario. Blah....

I got to go. My mom is getting restless...

17:27, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Never mind. She's talking to her mother via Skype. Can barely understand anything because she's French.

I don't have Facebook and nor will I ever have.

P.S. Anyways is not a word. Same goes for alright. P.P.S I REALLY gotta go

17:31, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

My sister had to go to the psychiatrist appointment because I have ADHD (Attention-Deficit-Hyperactivity-Disorder) and that my sister is my twin. I just want to see what the psychiatrist has to say about her. Well, it turns out that my sister has ADHD AND post-traumatic-stress disorder.

People with ADHD have trouble organizing, focusing, staying on task, sitting still, etc. They also talk too much, get distracted easily, get frustrated very easily, have a lot of thoughts going on, jitter, get bored a lot, etc.

Post-traumatic-stress disorder is when people experience a bad event and have anxiety, bad dreams about it, think about, etc. I seem to have this too, but my psychiatrist didn't talk to me today.

Compare these two sentences:

Mario destroys Wario. Wario is destroyed by Mario.

The first sentence is the active voice. In writing, I usually avoid passive voice unless I don't know who did what. Passive voice doesn't sound very exciting compared to active, and writing passive voices uses more words.

An easy way to identify passive voice is to see the word, "by". Also, you can see the verb that is something like "was eaten" "are killed" "were jumped on", etc.

I remember your thanking me for that Chain Chomp article :) I don't know how to fix those templates. I think we need to find a way to make them shorter because the Paper Mario sections aren't long most of the time, while the templates are, creating unnecessary space.

Is this sentence wrong?

If everyone must kill Wario, Mario will award them.

It's wrong. The "them" pronoun does not agree with the subject, "everyone". "Everyone" is a singular pronoun while "them" is a plural. You don't say "Everyone are here". You say, "Everyone is here". If that's the case, I don't see why "their" is correct.

Walkazo says that "they" is correct, but my grammar books and teacher says otherwise. My grammar book even says that many people have fallen in this trap. I guess Walkazo, Marcelagus, and Time Q have fallen that trap so far. Just because you're a SYSOP doesn't mean that you are always right, sheesh.

The phrase "Can't help, but..." is a double negative. Avoid using this.

Any "different than"s should be "different from".

Your brain must be bursting from all this grammar hullabaloo. :P

20:46, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Grammar
I talk like a grammar book, don't I?

Lol, thanks for the compliment you gave me. I think now, after reading those grammar books, the lack in grammar in everyday speech is starting to drive me crazy. It shouldn't though, because I make grammar mistakes too.

You know how people in instant messaging talk in abbreviations? Well, I don't talk like that. I talk like this. Even my brother thought there was something weird about me when I talked to him in AIM.

I'm not planning to be an English teacher. I prefer ornithology (study of birds), cartooning, graphic designing, computer programming,

VERY BORING GRAMMAR ALERT!!

Have you seen my double talk list in my talk page? When you are writing, these can clutter writing. Mario Wiki occasionally has these terms.

Double talk is what it says. It's redundant, that's why you need to cut words. "Don't repeat the same thing over again" is a prime example of double talk. "Over" and "again" are the same meaning, so we can remove "over" and "again" and the sentence will still make sense. We get, "Don't repeat the same thing." But, if you are not repeating the same thing, you are not repeating, so we can eliminate "the same thing". The resulting sentence is "Don't repeat". It's simpler to read.

This is a list of double talk. All phrases have unnecessary words. Unnecessary words aren't a good thing since they create stringy sentences. This isn't all, though, which means you may have to search for them.

You can cut unnecessary prepositions. See, the phrase, "cut out" has an unnecessary word, "out". Removing "out" will still make sense. "Down" in "sitting down" is unnecessary because where else will you sit? Up?

Also, in formal writing, you should try to remove contractions (can't, isn't, doesn't). Although it is correct, it just looks more informal. Words such as "can't" are just a result of the word "cannot" shortened in spoken language. Spoken language changes more than written language. In a few years, words like "noob", "own", and "pwn" will not make sense to the contemporary generation of people, similar to how the word "lick" lost its meaning as "to beat up".

Phrases like "they have" "it is" "they are" "she has" make for boring sentences. It shouldn't matter to this wiki much, but I think you should avoid these terms for better ones when you are writing essays that your teacher will read. Of course, exceptions exist.

Mario likes to kill Wario so much, I think I'm sick (are you?)!

This sentence is actually correct grammar wise. Those question marks and exclamation marks look strange, but it is correct.

Just because a sentence is long doesn't mean it's good. Check this out:

"In this point and time, Mario feels strongly that Wario should possibly get killed"

compared to this one:

"Now, Mario thinks that Wario should get killed."

The second one is easier to read. Keep that in mind when proofreading this wiki or writing essays.

I shouldn't go into parallel construction, should I?

The heat in California is killing me! 34º Celsius! OMG! That's equal to 93.2ºF! I like the metric system more than that blasted Imperial system of bushels, fathoms, furlongs, chains, leagues, cables, perches, roods, acres, gills, fluid scruples, drachms, Wariobutts, etc.) What the hell are most of those units? Thank you France for developing this awesome system!)

Note: Try not to start sentences with number. If you use digits (which is easier to read), use digits for the rest of the article/essay/whatever. If you use the long and clunky numbers (six thousand six hundred sixty-six, or 6,666), use them for the rest of the writing. It's consistency's sake.

Pardon my use of "hell". However, I do not think "hell" is a bad word. It is just a place you go when you vandalize the wiki intentionally. It's just those religious people overreacting, since most people here are Christians (which I'm not). Same thing goes for "damn", really.

Do you want the live bland grammar book to talk endlessly about boringness and all?

22:59, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Also, my sister didn't go into war or stuff like that. :P Wonder why those war games are created anyway. It's like they are mocking those weathered war verterans

Btw, what happened to her that gave her stress? It's a family thing...

...

Nah, it's not abuse, serious. Nice try, though. :) I have it too. If I got abused, why am I here, acting cheerful, talking to you, and having a great time playing video games? Oh, it's not death either. 23:05, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Late response: Yes, I want a 3DS. It sounds so neat, with the "3d" and the control stick.

If you want any more grammar stuff, ask me. I probably have the answer for you :)

Well then, see you, for now. 23:47, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
