User talk:Gabumon

Welcome on Edo's talk page. I'm glad that you somehow ended up here :3 It would be nice if you leave me a message. I'll be happy to read your stuff.

If you wrote me a message earlier and are now confused that it isn't there anymore, please visit my Archive.

Just a little rules so we can have a nice talk: -
 * 1) Swear your allegiance to King Bowser
 * 2) No funny hats
 * 3) No nosepicking
 * 4) Be polite towards me and towards each other
 * 5) Try to type properly (I won't go grammar-nerd on you but please make it understandable)
 * 6) If you disagree with one of my decisions, please tell me here. Don't start any dubious actions like contacting every staff member except me. If you have a good reason to disagree, I will listen.
 * 7) I understand German, but it is likely that I will answer in English nevertheless
 * 8) No flaming, unless you have a Fire Flower! Flames will be removed without comment.

Wario Land Names
Hello Edofenrir. Since you are one of the most active Wario Land writers here, I'd like to know your opinion on this. If it is accepted, I'd do the same for the relevant enemies of the original Wario Land (and a few ones in WL2 and 3). --Grandy02 14:59, 20 December 2009 (EST)
 * Maybe you can also tell your opinion on this issue? The user Mecha-Boss Unit has moved several of the articles with the Japanese names to English names that are taken from an official English guide according to him. The problem is, there is no confirmation for the guide's existence. After a conversation with him, he said the guide doesn't have an entry at Amazon anymore because they "just took the entry off." I couldn't find any information on the Internet, which isn't surprising since the guide "sold out in about 6 minutes" according to him. But notably, a name I just made up ("Hammer Warrior") is also the name in said guide. I already talked to Twentytwofiftyseven, and he isn't positive about the guide's existence. What do you think? --Grandy02 06:58, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Okay. Well, personally, I'm also not convinced. Should his moves and edits simply be reverted? --Grandy02 14:32, 26 December 2009 (EST)

Please have a great holiday experience, and good luck getting the loans paid you burrowed with the presents you got!!! 13:59, 24 December 2009 (EST)

Userpage creation?
So I've been here for a week and tomorrow it will be 8 days. Does my page get created for me after 7 days or am I doing something wrong when trying to create my page? Answers would be nice since I've read the auto-confirmed page about 4 times.

Userbox tower?
SO I made it but it seems wrong, very wrong. I've tried to fix it several times but it still looks the same and sticks to the center while boxing in everything below it along with it. >_> How do I fix this?

When you deleted that fan vote on Luigi's request to a featured article...
...how come you didn't get rid of half of the other fan votes supporting him?
 * So if the vote doesn't have anything to do with the article, it can be deleted? Then how about No. 17, 30 and 31?

Wario Land II FA
Hello Edofenrir, do you have any plans to nominate the Wario Land II article for FA status? There are few things I'd like to talk about, but I think it's very nice, you really put a lot of work into it. --Grandy02 15:24, 30 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks. :-) Nice to read that you had the same thoughts. Here are the things I'd like to talk about. Sorry for nitpicking. ;-)
 * Per the first English release guideline, we would have to use the American box art in the infobox, since it was released earlier.
 * When has the Black Sugar Gang been called the Black Sugar Pirates? I only read Black Sugar Gang in the manual, which is a literal translation of the Japanese name (they have always been the Black Sugar Gang in Japanese, not "Brown Sugar Pirates").
 * What is called "transformations" in the article, and also named as such in the articles of those forms (the category is "Wario's Transformations", too), is called "conditions" in the English WL2 manual and "reactions" in both the English WL3 and WL4 manual. It's generally "reactions" in Japanese releases. Maybe the term reactions describes it better, since Wario doesn't really "transform" when his butt burns or when he is crazy/drunk.
 * There is a guideline that characters, items and so on have to be referred to as they were named when the game was released. This might also go for Wario's forms (reactions). Flaming Wario was originally Hot Wario, while Frozen Wario isn't mentioned in the WL2 manual, but was given the name Ice Skatin' Wario in the WL3 manual.
 * We already talked about the Giant Spear Man's role, the speculation still has to be removed. In my opinion, there's actually a bit too much of emphasis for this enemy, e.g. by calling him the "true final boss" or by placing him under "main characters" in the WL2 template. In my opinion, it's just a mini-boss based on a common enemy. We don't even know if it is always the same character or if there are several Giant Spear Men, and I don't see what would make him (or them) a "main character."
 * Why are so many words in the story titles (levels) capitalized even though they aren't spelled this way in the game? I don't know a guideline that would dictate that (e.g. there's King Koopa's mother).
 * On the English enemy names again: The American website mentions bats, sawfish, eels and birds. Everything is uncapitalized, like the "giant snake" and the "giant bee." Do you think those can be seen as the "official" (and extremly generic) names? Of course, only in case of this game, since almost all of its English names are that generic, that doesn't go for other Wario Land games.
 * For the remaining enemies with conjectural enemies, I will try to find their official Japanese names like I did for Wario Land 4, but not before there is a decision on the previous point.
 * Under Reference to Other Games: I think seeing the yoyo as an EarthBound reference is a bit too far fetched. I don't think we should include more treasure references than mentioned here, everything else is too speculative in my opinion. All the other listed games and WL2 are in-house creations by Nintendo, but not EarthBound.
 * That's all for now. ;-) --Grandy02 07:46, 31 December 2009 (EST)
 * Okay. In case of the Story titles, I really don't know about a such a guideline. If there was one, Video game references would probably be spelled different. --Grandy02 15:11, 1 January 2010 (EST)

Congratulations to the safe FA! :-) There are a few more things related to the article I'd like to tell about, but it doesn't make it any less FA-worthy. --Grandy02 13:22, 8 January 2010 (EST)
 * The Hen is not mentioned in any of the listings. Maybe she fits under "Supporters"?
 * In case of the Supporters, I think they deserve a place in the game's template. The template is used in the respective articles, but it doesn't link to them.
 * Mecha Kuri should have an article and be listed under Bosses.
 * According to the American website, D-Bat and Blue Bird are Bat and Bird respectively. I can do the changes in the next days if you want.
 * That's not directly related to the article, but there needs to be a decision on the title of the Spear Man article. Almost every WL2 article calls it Pirate Goom, even though the title is Spear Man. Maybe it could be stated in the Pirate Goom article that the name of the Giant Spear Man implies that they are alternatively known as Spear Men, but haven't been specifically referred to as such?
 * I decided to move the Spear Man article, I hope that's okay. --Grandy02 13:37, 13 January 2010 (EST)
 * Okay. Pirate Goom is the official name used in the Wario Land manual. "Spear Man" is only part of the Giant Spear Man's name, and the Pirate Gooms have not been specifically referred to as Spear Men as far as I know, that's why I moved it. --Grandy02 14:31, 13 January 2010 (EST)

Re: Unknown Name
Sorry, I know this enemy, but not its name. Besides the ones from the manual, I don't know any more names than listed at Talk:Wario Land 3. In case of the Japanese dictionary, I haven't found out how I can search for entries related to a specific game (WL3 in this case). But that's not the only WL3 enemy whose name is still missing. --Grandy02 11:12, 1 January 2010 (EST)
 * Hm, at the moment, no really fitting name comes to mind. Overweight Block? Food Block? Fatness Block? I don't know... --Grandy02 15:24, 2 January 2010 (EST)

I'm sorry...
Your MS Paint died? That majorly sucks. I'd be lost without mine... Anyways, Is User:LuigiMadness71 supposed to have Luigi's entire page on his Userpage? I didn't think so, but I thought it would be good to tell you about it. P.S. What do you think of my new sig pic? If you need it bigger, just click on it.
 * I use WinXP, and I haven't used anything else, so I can't sympathize, sorry. But, I feel for you. Meta Knight is awesome. He's to me as Bowser is to you, I hope that makes sense! (Sorry for scaring you ;P)
 * Yeah, I know, that cape is awesome. His sword is pretty cool, too.
 * Edo! I had a brilliant idea and you're a big part of it! Message me back and I'll tell you more about it!

You know how so many users were making stories about the wiki? Well, I figured out how to have mine without interfering with the Wiki's server space. I'm making a sprite comic in MS Paint, and I'll email it to the users that are a part of it instead of making it a subpage. You've got a pretty awesome part in this... are you in?
 * SWEET! I only need one thing from you: your E-Mail address so you can get the comic as I make it. Thanks so much, Edo! You won't regret it!
 * I'm done with the first and almost with the second. I only need your and Gamefreak75's address, and I have to get feedback from him, FF65, and Bloops. It's awesome, you guys are gonna be on the edge of your seats!
 * Excellent! I'm FunkyK38 on the forums as well. Thanks, Edo! #2 is DONE! I only have to get Gamefreak's E-mail and the first two issues are out!
 * Thanks, Edo! Standby, here they come!
 * Awesome, thanks so much! I got the sprites from the SR, from a Gameboy advance game called CMIA The Enemy. I read how you thought you looked like steven and you're right, I hope you don't mind that you do. I picked that sprite of you because it made me think of you... and don't worry, I'll be appearing in the issue after next!

I mailed you number three, did you get it alright? (I'm really excited about this part. It spans a huge part of the story!)
 * Don't know if you've read the others yet, but number 5 is out...please don't kill me...
 * Because of what's on FF65's talkpage... I'm sorry...
 * Thanks for worrying about me, Edo. I'm sorry if I scared you in any way not related to Wiki Adventure, that wasn't my intention. I hope you aren't upset with me... I also hope you got my E-Mail.

Please don't be mad at me, Edo! Please talk to me! There may be nothing wrong with me now, but there will be if I don't hear from you or Fawfulfury65! Please, Edo, I just want to know if you're mad at me!

Can you upload this image and place it on this article?-- 02:02, 4 January 2010 (EST)

friend request
Hi Edofenrir, Im General bob-omb and just askin, do you want to be friends? Oh and have you been to the fourth day on majora's mask? 15:14, 4 January 2010 (EST)
 * Yep, you got it. Its actually really cool but you can't go in certain buildings like the treasure box shop and the shooting gallery or it will freeze. Also if you visit the darling and honey shop...game...thing...they aren't there.

I'm so sorry...
Hello, Tucayo said me about my edit in the proposals page, I'm so sorry about this, my internet connection is very bad and crashed while I was editing the page so these comments were deleited for no reason...Sorry again, hope you understand...-- 16:27, 5 January 2010 (EST)

Thanks, sorry again for the mistake it won't happen again..., and hey Edofenrir you want to be friends with me?-- 16:54, 5 January 2010 (EST)

Okay then here's my userbox, now I'll put the yours in my user page ;)-- 16:59, 5 January 2010 (EST)

Edo...I have a major question....
Do you think you can answer something by tonight if I asked it?
 * FunkyK38 is crying, and telling me that you and FF65 are ignoring her messages after reading the fifth part, and she thinks that you hate the false ending, and that your ignoring her for a reason. Can you please tell her otherwise, because she is extremely upset, and it's starting to bug me....
 * I think she's offline now, she said she will continue the wiki adventure comic stuff she's doing, so tomorrow, if you don't talk to her tonight, that you can probably turn her straight on you news.

Sorry...
...that you keep having to add the copyright notice to the images I'm replacing. I keep trying to do it myself, but I guess it's not working...weird. Anyways, thanks a lot. -- 23:01, 7 January 2010 (EST)

RE: Something
Just snagged the chance to respond to your message; however, I noticed according to the edit history the said proposal got removed. Good thing too because according to the link you placed, I was a bit... annoyed. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, there should already be an article saying about Birdo as a "species" and not the Birdo. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 21:19, 10 January 2010 (EST)

Merging
Thank you for merging the Elemental Ghost articles during my (unannounced) absence. I wish I could have done myself, but thank you for taking the initiative. Redstar 10:24, 14 January 2010 (EST)

Hello Edofenrir! How was your Christmas? Also do you want to be friends? So here is my userbox:
