Article Organization Proposal Finally Up!
Sorry for the delay! Please vote! 12:20, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I talked to Cobold about this, but I must have forgotten to mention it to you: I broke down all of those ideas so that users could vote on each concept rather than a bunch of issues that aren't necessarily related. That way, we won't lose users who like one issue but don't like another.  How about you and I talk on the forums (you can bring it up on the new message I posted on the sysop board, how about?) and we can work out a proposal.  When the deadline for my proposal passes, we'll immediately post the one on personality, etc... or I suppose we could post it sooner as well.  Send me the pirate games proposal draft you were working on and I'll see what I can do, ok?  16:28, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

I have the article ready but I don't know where on the forum I'm supposed to post it. It's a bit short...

Guinness World Record: Phattest Archive
Well, I've done it for you. *puts hand out for money* So, go and call it whatever you want. I'm very sure I didn't delete any messages from here that were past 200. So yeah, may I ask: Why don't people do it themselves? I've done yours and Fg's - what's so hard about it?

Oh yeah - my Shroom section - I've been very busy. And last time I had issues trying to create a forum account - apparently the bot-test didn't accept me. I'll try again - but if it doesn't let me - what do I do? Oh yeah, andabout the Mario Games of the Future - so you said it belonged in that other section - does that mean you'll accept that as well as my Dimentio thing?

hello, this is Blue Koop, i would like to be a writer for the 'Shroom, i havn't been on for a while but i am going to start getting on a ton more. I don't know what i want to do. i would either like to do a character or game comparasin but both of those are taken, so i would like something VERY similar. please.-- Blue   Koop C 21:26, 30 October 2008 (EDT)

Oh man, I never do anything right. Did you tell me that before about 4 sections!? Well OK I'l do it, but does that mean you want them to be spread over Archives 9, 10, 11 and 12?

i am up for it-- Blue   Koop C 20:06, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Shroom
Hello, I'm Guy Tim, I'm interested to write at The 'Shroom page. If it could be possible, please contact me.

1 November 2008

Re.
Ya, I was only waiting to talk more after a response. I have some ideas to the Character Battle, and, as you see, I want to be helpful with this page. ^^

From: 1 November 2008

Ze 'Shroom
I have put my name down. I'm not allowed on ze forum though.

Would you like the archive splitting done now?

Well, I hope you're satisfied now. It's always better to start tackling a problem before it gets out of control.

However: The following 2 headers came after number 200, so I dunno what you're gonna do with them:

Oh yeah, I think you forgot about the 2nd rule on my page. If I'd been logged off and then came back on days later like I often do, I'd probably miss that message completely. Thanks. OK, so I still have a chance to do the Shroom for this issue. I'll try the forum account creating before then - if it fails I guess I'll have to do what you said earlier.

RULES:

This rule:


 * Please post new messages at the very bottom of the page, even if you're continuing a recent conversation that only has one small message after it. Otherwise I sometimes miss messages.

Hey..Sorry...My computer sucks and I can send the images :P

Re: "Moleman, please remain civil"
That was directed to. The only reason I didn't put the comment above yours is because the last time I did that, I got scolded via an edit summary. Sorry for the confusion. :P 14:33, 3 November 2008 (EST)

THIS MEME IS WHAT ALL TRUE WARRIORS STRIVE FORE! bhDd3tBBlUk

MY SHROOM SECTION, DAMMIT!
I suddenly decided to go on the forums and I'd forgotten I DID have an account there! So, I assume you are Blitzwing-2, so I'll PM you the section. If it doesn't work somehow, tell me.

I've sent it now, please tell me if you get it.


 * I did. --Blitzwing 06:10, 6 November 2008 (EST)

I assume you will include my section, right?

07:00, 8 November 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah. --Blitzwing 07:02, 8 November 2008 (EST)

Quiz

My reason for being late
For some reason, the past few days I've been trying to access Mario Wiki from my home, a screen popped up stating that there was a database error. I'm sorry. I can access it nao, but I just thought I might let you know. □R.O.B. 128□ 11:54, 10 November 2008 (EST)
 * I did it. Don't worry, my friend. □R.O.B. 128□ 06:01, 17 November 2008 (EST)

You Gained +50 Appreciation Points
Thank you very much for including my crap section - now I'm famous! ...

Was there anything that needed improvement?

The Princess Peach article
I noticed that you brought back an edit done by Elise in terms of Peach's involvement in the Mario Superstar Baseball intro; the reason I took that off was because the info in relation to it was a bit too "general" to deserve a mention when I noticed it for the first time. I'm wondering why you're saying that it should have stayed (even though the source info about it was valid). --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page
 * "Info in Relation to it?" ... Whaaaa? --Blitzwing 06:51, 14 November 2008 (EST)

RE: IGNORED
Haha. Don't feel that way. And yeah, I really don't care about that page (Wikipedia does a similar thing anyways). I am glad you put the option of removing things if someone is upset their edit was added. As long as people don't get really upset over it, the page should be fine. But if it starts leading to flame wars, it may have to be deleted. But that's just my two cents. =) -- Son of Suns
 * Son of Suns is one of those guys, isn't he? □R.O.B. 128□ 18:24, 22 November 2008 (EST)
 * "Those guys?" Waaa? --Blitzwing 20:54, 22 November 2008 (EST)
 * What I meant was, he's one of those users that only reply to positive comments from admins in attempts to highten there chances of becoming one themselves, not giving a damn what regular users (like meh) say. Anyway, as you've probably noticed, I can't keep up with the shroom due to my computer's limited ability (measly laptop >_>). Is there any other position I could try that doesn't involve image editing or screen-capturing? Was my idea taken out because it wasn't going to work? □R.O.B. 128□ 00:35, 23 November 2008 (EST)
 * I took out Character Battle because, well, it was too late. And frankly, I don't see what's so resource-mongering about it, All you have to do is find two pictures and makes a small writteup. --Blitzwing 07:18, 23 November 2008 (EST)

I like R.O.B. 128's comments, given that I was an admin...twice! Ahaha. And wait, Cardboard Box was created to be a bad page? But it's such a good article! -- Son of Suns


 * Too bad for PJ it was such a good article. Haha.  And yeah, I really don't care either.  I probably don't have the time to actually perform sysop duties, so I am content with how things are right now. --  <-- I just figured out how to do this.
 * I didn't mean to sound like a jerk, so I sincerely apologize. I didn't really mean it. I was being ignored the entire day so I wadn't in a good mood. About the Shroom, what do you mean writeup? □R.O.B. 128□ 11:37, 23 November 2008 (EST)
 * A basic description of the section ad the two characters. --Blitzwing 16:04, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Review Corner!
Hi! I signed up for the Review Corner!

RE: Sockpuppet
Yes, I understand blocking obvious sockpuppets, but Japanese character guy was not so obvious. In fact, thanks to him I got to write a really important article. =P

But yeah, given that his IP was the same as an obvious sockpuppet, I definitely support the later block. I just want to make sure y'all aren't getting too trigger-happy. ;) --

'Shroom
I'm not allowed on the forum.

And what do you mean ur last issue of the 'shroom??? MC Hammer  Bro.  19:40, 29 November 2008 (EST)

Oh ok. are you ellagible to be re ellected? MC Hammer  Bro.

ok. well it was nice serving under you. and I will put a lot of effort into my quiz!

Did you get my review? Because nothing is in my outbox.
 * I got it. I didn't respond because there's nothing wrong with it. --Blitzwing 14:40, 30 November 2008 (EST)

I'm not allowed to e-mail. Can I make a User sub-page and link it to you?

I don't get the sign up page, can someone explain it? (hopefully Blitxwing, the manager, that's why I posted it here)
 * I'm not the manager anymore. anyway, what you do on the signup page is that you put your name next to the section you want to do, or you can create a new section altogether and wait for it to be approved. --Blitzwing 16:30, 1 January 2009 (EST)

CheckUser
I used that on him, and one of his IP's has already been blocked. He had gotten a new IP Range, changing from 189 to 82. Also, I used this to calculate.
 * I remember the case of someone who was blocked after registering on The Mariowiki forum because they shared an IP with Rudnicki (Who changed IP, Too), Check User is not the ultimate proof that someone is a sockpuppet, as a Wikipedia policy page say, Checkuser is not magic pixie dust. --Blitzwing 18:14, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * Oh, I didn't know that. The other reason is, last nite, Sonic Rocks came to Userpedia and vandalized my page, also, he mysteriously knows about Userpedia, he joined it

Shroom background
What's the link to the image in the shroom's background, the one with the mushrooms?
 * ... I don,t get it. Could you be more precise? --Blitzwing 18:05, 1 December 2008 (EST)
 * The blue one with mushrooms
 * Ah ,the default background. Plumber coded it (I believe), and truth to be told, I don,t know hwo to extract it. You could ask him. There,s also the possibilities of cut/pasting the 'Shroom Mainpage code onto your page and screwing with it 'till only the background's left. --Blitzwing 18:40, 1 December 2008 (EST)
 * Ok,thanks i'll try both
 * Ok, done me screwed it till only the back remained

Humans Have 2 ears and 1 Mouth Because...
... we should listen twice as much as we speak. That was pretty random, but based on how you said "listen up!"

Sure, I'll gladly do my Shroom section by that date (the 6st 0_o), as tomorrow is my last day of school until February next year. (ultra long summer holidays, w00t!)

And about the comment you added later, well... my status is referring to... well, it would be safer for me to tell you privately, so I'll tell you in the same PM as the Shroom section when it's done.

i woud love to join the shroom, but i cannot! i would love to give reviews about certain video games and even characters if that is ok. i just need some more help joining the team!

Darkdaisy

I've Shroomed the Forums
I sent a PM to you. I certainly hope it reaches you successfully.


 * Sorry, Blitzwing, the forum isn't working for me. I think I may be just creating the page myself, and pasting the section. Is that ok with you?

I got mine to you. Let me know if you don't get it.

Signed up
I have signed up for the Interview section. When should I start my section for the Shroom? I am active in the Fourms.
 * Ask the New director. --Blitzwing 19:18, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Fake News
What happened to the Fake News? Mario246

Election
Well, first of all, thanks for voting for me, I really appreciate it. Nextt, is the ending date ok? it says january 19
 * Yeah, it is. --Blitzwing 16:53, 11 December 2008 (EST)
 * So who'll direct January's issue?
 * There isn't a January Issue. The new director simply begin in February. --Blitzwing 19:10, 11 December 2008 (EST)

Eh, not really back. But a bit more active, I suppose. That is to say... Are you back? :P I knew you said you'd be inactive too... Oh well. I'm good. You?

Sprites
Yo Blitzwing can you get me a link for your sprites? if you could thanks.
 * As far as I know, the sprites were lost in the ScribbleWiki crash so yeah :/. You may ask Knife since he made those. --Blitzwing 15:26, 16 December 2008 (EST)

RE: Banjo and Conker Series
Yeah they are pretty bad right now, given that they are basically made from deleted content (I rewrote or added a couple original entries). For all our worries (mine included) of Banjo and Conker content "taking over" in the past, we really didn't make that many articles, which means these series articles are in bad shape (hence the construction template). If the recent proposal I created passes, the content from these Nintendo licensed games would be acceptable on the wiki, and thus we couldn't delete entries on official subjects, just as we don't delete articles on official Mario subjects (i.e. the series articles couldn't just be summaries of the series). I don't know much about Transformers and GoBots, but based on that link you sent me, they appear to be two independent, competing franchises that make references to each other, whereas as Banjo and Conker are deeply rooted in a franchise connectd to the Mario series (and are now competing, just like Donkey Kong Country competed with the Super Mario series). But I do think we need to give a history of each franchise at the beginning of the article, but I'm not entirely sure how to arrange the rest of the content - perhaps by game introduced (and to divide it more, by level introduced)? You could give info about the game, then give info about the levels in the game, then info about the characters, items, special moves, etc. introduced in those levels. That might be less confusing (and would get rid of repetition - like, you wouldn't have to give a summary of every level in the game section, as the actual level entries would be listed under the game section header). I don't know though. --


 * Personally, I find the information about worlds, characters, items, etc. to be as important as the franchise history and Mario references - to me, and I'm sure others, that content is not filler but important parts of the greater Mario franchise. The two series emerged from the Donkey Kong series, and their worlds are deeply connected, as indicated by the Diddy Kong Racing instruction manual, as well as references throughout the Banjo series.  Under the new Importance Policy that will likely pass, the information about characters, items, etc. would be protected and allowed, but based on past proposals, it could only be allowed in the series page under MarioWiki: Canonicity.  Potentially such content could be unmerged into individual articles, or at least general articles about different topics (i.e. Banjo Characters, Banjo Items, Banjo Places articles).  But this may require a proposal, or at least a discussion and vote on the individual series talk pages. --

Hi.
How's it going, Mr. Supposely Inactive? (:P) I just got a Wii, my computer will not let me into the Wiki chat to tell everyone about it, and I just completed 3/4ths of Mario Galaxy. What's up here at the Wiki?

1: There was a bunch of Bureaucrat promotions (Stooben, Time Q and Stumpers replaced RAP & Cobold). Wayoshi went bats**** insane and was demoted.

2: There was a new one for some times but they ran out of image space and moved back to wikia. I got promoted to Mod on their forum. --Blitzwing 20:05, 29 December 2008 (EST)

Huzzah. I'll have to check into that if my dad ever decides to get us wi-fi at our house. Wayoshi went palookas? I want info! :o Was it on chat again?! What happened?!

Mario Wikia
Im sorry, but we never made fun of your wiki. I don't think its fair that you make fun of us. Its quiet rude. - CC
 * "we never made fun of your wiki"

That would have been in bad taste.

"Its quiet rude."
 * Yeah, my statement wasn't very loud. --Blitzwing 08:11, 5 January 2009 (EST)

Joining The 'Shroom
Hello, I am TutiFrutti112 and I'm new here. I am interested in becoming a writer for The 'Shroom, but I'm not sure how. I already tried the "Sign Up" page. If this is how you sign up, I'd like to know more about the Entertainment section. Does it only have to be YouTube videos? Can it cover things such as fan-made comics? Also, how do you turn in what you wrote? Should we send you an email or a message? You might find it useful to know that I have written for a newsletter before at my school. I also write and read a lot, so you can trust in proper English and spelling. Thank you for reading, and I hope you can answer my questions.
 * I'm not the Director anymore, but I think I can answer your questions:

1: I guess.

2: Private Message. --Blitzwing 17:44, 10 January 2009 (EST)

Ashley
You know how at one time we were discussing about whether or not Ashley was 9 in Japan? Well I found the orignial Japanese version of her theme from Touched and she sounds a LOT younger in it.
 * Well yeah, I heard the Japanese tune too. However, that still doesn't tell what her actual age (IN JAPAN) is. --Blitzwing 20:53, 17 January 2009 (EST)
 * WellI was thinking that since her voice sounds like a little kid's in it, it may mean she's younger.

Thanks
I'm glad I was notified on my talk page about why my whole Proposal was deleted.

Shroom Sign Up
The Shroom sign up page stated that I needed to contact you after signing up. -
 * I am not the Director anymore. Stooben Rooben is. --Blitzwing 15:55, 20 January 2009 (EST)

RE: Warning
You're right. While I do consider it a serious offense, nothing in the rules state that you shouldn't do that. So I will remove the warning (and add a rule about bumping articles). --

I issued a warning only because it is hard to revert the bump (if you even can). Bumping affects the "last edit" column on the FA nomination page, thus extending the nomination period when it should only be a month. I tried hiding the revision but that didn't do anything. So now the nomination is up higher in the list and has an extended life. I don't know what we should do about it. Do we just leave it and take serious action next time or do we do something now? I don't know. So...because of the difficulty of reverting such an edit, I felt a warning was appropriate. --

Well it still had like 26 days left, so it's not too bad. And I don't think we can just delete the page, because it would be unfair for the other people who are supporting the article and trying to fix it up. I think the last edit was the 18th, so I think on the 18th of February, if there are no serious contributions to the FA page, it should be deleted (instead of on the 22nd). --

But Billy, I Want...
Well, I was just a bit annoyed that you gave me no notification on my talk page of why it was deleted. Took a long time to write all that useless crap, especially because of this weird keyboard >_>.

*cue sad music* Anyway, the reason I didn't just go and do it is because I have no confidence in my editing skills. When I first started (almost a year ago), some *EXPLETIVE* retard kept reverting my decent (by noob standards) edits. And since then, I have made several huge edits which have been removed for stupid reasons (look at the Psychopath page's history, and see how much hard work Pokemon DP reverted >_>). So yeah, I was pretty sure that no matter how helpful I thought my addition would be, it would get removed or stuffed around with. But anyway, I'll do it if I remember to take some screenshots...

Now I started a Treasures section on the article. If it need improvement, tell me. But when I'm done, I'll add a full list with in-game descriptions and screenshots.

Oh, and are you going to do your own archiving before this page gets massive again?


 * 1: I thought the edit summary was enough.

2: Add the list to the Psychopath page if you want. Pokemon DP was not a *ahem* model sysop.

3: No :). --Blitzwing 07:02, 23 January 2009 (EST)

RE: Merges
Well I do for major merges. Problem is, no one responds. So I have been trying to merge what makes sense to be merged. For major merges or splits, I leave a comment on the talk page. It's not really a big deal, as merges can easily be undone if someone strongly disagrees. --

New Segment for The 'Shroom
Hey, Blitzwing. I was wondering if I could make a new segment called the The Morning Comics for The Shroom. Its basically a short 3 panel comic sprite comic that will feature characters from super mario or users. I can send you a sample of my comics via the forums. --
 * Er, I'm the new 'Shroom director. :P And, I was thinking of adding a section that allowed Mario fanon comics submitted by various users. (Not user fanon, though.) 23:11, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Why did you deleted my contribution?
I can't go to the forum because I'm banned so could you (other users too) stop deleting my contributions?

Queen of Koopas 12:05, 10 February 2009 (EST)
 * That's still against the talkpage rules, I won't allow them to be broken merely because you "can't go" on our forum. --Blitzwing 15:33, 10 February 2009 (EST)


 * Ah, Well... -- 17:30, 7 March 2009 (EST) Although a reminder was put there (see talk page's history).
