User talk:Walkazo/Archive 4

Status: Busy. School's out for the summer, but I've still got tonnes of projects on the go. Editing the Wiki is still my number one priority, but feel free to drop me a line. All chit-chat will be responded to on this page (with some exceptions), but if you need to talk to me about matters of the Super Mario Wiki or Userpedia, I'll respond on your page.

Hi Again
Heya, Walkazo. Long time, no talk. How have you been? I bet you're glad high school is almost over, eh? :P 21:31, 17 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Yikes. Yeah, university can be a scary thing. Though, when I was in university last year, it wasn't too bad. The courses were a little harder, but the reports were nothing compared to what my mother gave me. I know you'll do alright; you're really smart. ...4:30 AM? Girl, that is insane. (Well, I have stayed up that late before, but that's different than waking up that early.) But, birds are really wonderful creatures; I imagine it's well worth the effort. =) Me? Meh, I'm not doing too bad. I'm starting to get back in the swing of editing since my family and I have settled down for a bit. I'll be going back to university sometimes soon, which is something I'm looking forward to. Other than that, I've been working on my forums a lot. Ever since I moved the site to a Simple Machines forum, the site has really been thriving, which is nice. 23:17, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

Some sad news
Birdoshi asked me to tell her most dear friends that she's quitting from the Wiki because she's moving to Spain well, if you want some more advice about her retirement, ask me Castle Toad 22:51, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
 * That is sad news; thanks for telling me. Birdoshi was a good editor, and I must say, I'm honored she thinks of me as one of her dearest friends. I hope she'll be happy in Spain. - Walkazo 23:02, 22 April 2009 (EDT)
 * Well yes, indeed, she mentioned you in the list she gave me of Dearest Friends that i must give advice of her retirement, well i also hope that she can have a great life there!!!

Skype
Hey, do you have Skype? If so, what is your username? 22:02, 11 May 2009 (EDT) I have a few wiki related questions I wanted to ask. Also, I wouldn't mind getting into a Mario wiki chat :P
 * I never even heard of Skype until you mentioned it just now - probably because my computer's too old to support features like that anyway. Same with chat, though you can ask me any questions you have here. - Walkazo

The never lasting non-chatting section (not really!)
Ah, what a busy female. Mmm. I'm going to get a bit more busy as well, I have to finish my current art project, my letter R written over with drawings I made. I have to paint the spaces here and there. Also, I have a science project for the big ending at the end of the year, involving a person in front of everyone, umm, some cardboard with pictures and text, and talking w/ the skills from drama class. As for the wiki, I'm doing some other things (I think you didn't respond back... understanded tho), compressing more images in UP, and now recently polishing templates that I pick for myself. Examples? Template:SM64, Template:WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! Microgames, and Template:Yoshi's Story (I might have to work on that tho). And I'll be releasing all over 500 images into the wiki in a certain day, my birthday. ;P Oh more theories eh? Good luck "Walkazifying" (Wal-ka-zi-fy-ing, I can't even pronounce it quickly! XD EDIT: Oh never mind.) your concepts there. Really. Just really. :3 Any news I wanted to know? Besides the swine flu... ;\

Incase you haven't responded, I decided to write up this once again. Well, today's my birthday. I got some presents from the wiki, and in RL. :3 Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. That bird and bear with that magic wrench given by the Loard of Games when he took their moves away. Mmm. :P I tried uploading all of my images. Apparently I only got around 229 images (right now) instead of 550 images. I actually started the launch of the images when the clock strikes 12. Dang, it took more than what I can handle. So I'll be continuing a bit... *yawn* Later. Oh, and I think I either made over 1000 edits, or 500 edits today, I can't tell if it is one of them. ;o

Hey, you have your skull looking at the staff forums, and your head on thinking of your "proving-ground" decisions there. Anyways, I heard this weird quirky dream that you were typing your response, but it turns out you were responding to the other users that you had. St00bs said something that my mini-dream might tell me the future. I was wrong once, although the leftovers tell me you'd respond later on anyway. OK, enough on that...

Er, I might had read that part when I was disappointed that you didn't respond back. A DRAGON? (roars happily... did I say that right?) xD Me wantz-see-it-ya!!!!! Oh wait. Until your done. Patience is grood. :3 Deleting templates? :O Well... *crosses out to-do entry from his paper, and writes "Walkazifying in progress"* Good luck with that list! I have some ideas of expanding some of the templates, but you do the deletions. :evil: The next launch of the revenge of the images will be dated somewhere in the summer. Here's a hint, recent Nintendo press kits. :O In Nintendo related news, by the time E3 already ended, Nintendo had already completed designing the successor of the DS, but due to the major sales of the DSi, they decided to drop it. It might be sad for the fans, but it gives Nintendo the opportunity to improve the hardware, and they might release it later on in a couple of years. I don't mean to bug you, but how are you today?

...*looks at the recent pages* Is it me, or you are still in school using that computer in the library? o_O Oh by the way, I'm out of school already so... just making a quick comment during my break. I will continue working on the wiki on probably next week...
 * Yayz for you. :3 ...And, I noticed we're the only ones in the wiki. ...Weird. It excludes guests anyway, xD Anyway, wiki break, moar image hunting. Is image hunting a mere contribution to the wiki when i'm going to upload the whole bunch of it? EDIT: NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Cobold's here! XD (I will write my other message from you later)

...(continues conversation) Good luck, and please handle the dynamite well for those wiki template demolitions. I almost got killed planting a dynamite while avoid a bunch of Yam-Yams in my game Rocks 'n' Diamonds! X3 When is school going to be over for you? It seems your in the wiki most of the time by now. Have you heard my project "Growth of the Summer"? If not, read my post in the staff forums. ;o Also, after cleaning up my archive binder, I realized how much stuff I have done from the last couple of years while keeping my ideas inside. The R'n'D level ideas notebook, the Mario Party Coin Madness notebook, my poems and other writings in English that truly touches me, canceled series of my handdrawn comic (it still made me chuckle when I looked over the pages :3), my complete drawings, scraps of them, and etc, more Rocks and Diamonds stuff, and finally, the "suggested" wiki ideas that I made for myself. And only less than 5 percent is revealed to the wiki. Heh. x3 All my activities, in there. The binder. Have you kept a history of your work for future purposes? :3 History is made every day. By good reasons, or bad reasons. You can't escape it. :O

Thanks for pointing it out. :3 I would LOVE to continue working on the wiki after that break, but I'm sick nao. D: I'm continuously coughing as days pass by... D: *cough cough* I can't drink anything very cold, or go outside very long during the night. Having a binder of record is good yes? :3 *COUGH* I haven't seen the wiki activity very much during my sickness. Do you have any idea what's going on right now? I REALLY love to work on my project after this. D: Respond back plz. Is it common to get sick in the summer by the coughings? *cough!* BTW, how's the day?

Did you searched that term for nothing, or just remembered it in your mind? xP I don't think it's from the lungs, I think it's from within it's throat. :< That fool... tis disgrace for her to spam in wiki w/ no life. We users have our own time to manage the wiki ourselves with free time. :3 If the users are at school, stay in school and try your best and edit a little. It's a sign of continous user life. :) Anyways, for my project of PipeProjects, the first three I have come up is "MP series mini-games", "SMB movie coverage", and "Beta Elements coverage". You should get an idea what I'm gonna do under my type of quality control, maybe you should join in one of the projects. ;D As for that... well... *cough* you know, I was amazed by that, but I have no idea what to say actually. XD Just for you to know. :3 I'll try staying away from the wiki, and maybe from the computer for a couple of days if I want to get of this whatever I have... x_X

G'evening Walkazo, I'm feeling much better, I slight lack coughing tho... so, some minor coughs here and there. The usernames seem a bit suspicious, since they seem to sound improper. >;o Hmmm. I'll continue on my wiki works probably tommorrow; not when it's midnight silly, since I'll be working on a completely unrelated wiki, all I say it's about rocks and gems. :3 And a game. That's it. XD I suggest you check my newest topic in the forums, it lists all the goodies that the staff should do if you have nothing to do. Be sure to pitch in some ideas! x3 How's your day? I recently played Zelda II for Rocks 'n' Diamonds, the CEs that Alan used are extraordinary! Weapon switching, expanded environments, the stuff like the old school Zelda goods. x3 Maybe I should take a screenshot and upload it into UP. :3

Mmm, you like puzzles eh? I can assist you, only if you assist both of us into making a giant grid of bad guys' IPs. Its a web that we can't even handle, like... hiding their identities. D: Man, everything went downhill when about 4 notable people died in the age of 50. :< Mmmm. How will Monday handle those four recently deceased people? Mmm, AOTS (attack of the show), Entertainment Tonight, Sixty Minutes, Local News, CNN, and a bunch of viral works. :O I'm talking to my Neu right now (Neurario), you should read this here. I encourage you to comment after reading, even if your not in that event in the chatroom. ;o Will do wiki work in morning. Hoping that I don't wake up very late. <_>

I see that your doing more than enough fair share of edits, mostly gnomework, which is very nice. :3 For me, I'm feeling very sluggish lately when it comes to editing the wiki. I know body wants me to edit the wiki, but my brain says, "eh, let the others take care of the problem", you see what I mean? That's why when I experience those moments, I think I rather draw levels for Rocks 'n' Diamonds. Very unique levels. :o I know I have my own resources that other guys don't even bother gathering, but the problem is can I handle a lot of stuff around me? And that's when I decided to try making PipeProjects, so other users can participate and know more of the Mario knowledge (even though you have a hate on that plumber XD). Do you any ideas of how to motivate myself, or do I have to get my arse kicked by you again? >;o My head doesn't feel like working in MarioWiki anymore. :< Help?

Hey
Walkazo, you said you have an eleven-year-old computer? Is it... Windows 98, by any chance? I currently use it too and it is extremely slow. The only other computer I use is a Windows ME laptop, which doesn't have Internet and is still slower than my 98.
 * Mine's a Mac OS 9.2. PP (my little brother) has a laptop which I use sometimes, but I really hate it (long story). - Walkazo 22:32, 15 May 2009 (EDT)
 * By the way, I have to things to add.
 * I have a new proposal based off of your ideas. Perhaps you should check it out.
 * I included your name in the proposer section as well as mine because I think they were your ideas. Is that ok that I put you as one of the proposers?
 * Ok, you got it Walkazo!

Sysop Board
Hi, Grandy. The members on the Sysop board deemed it necessary to install a new feature that'll increase the security of the wiki. To do this, you will have to get an account registered on the forums. Once you make your account there, the issue will be explained. Since you have trouble loading the forums (because of avatars and signatures, right?), you can edit your 'Look and Layout Preferences' to turn off avatar and signature display. That'd make the forum run much faster, I'm sure. If I can do something else to help, let me know. (Also, I'll respond to your other message as soon as I can.) Thanks. 01:53, 15 May 2009 (EDT)
 * I'm not Grandy. ;p - Walkazo 22:32, 15 May 2009 (EDT)

Hi
Wanna be in my new comic on Userpedia? It's a murder-mystery. :)
 * Sure. It sounds cool. What's my role? Not the victim, I hope XP - Walkazo 23:01, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, the story arc system is similar to the arc system in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. In each story arc, there are different culprits and different victims. But everyone is a victim at least once. If the story plans out the way I hope it does, you will be one of the survivors in the first story arc. ;) By the way, if you want a link to the page, here it is.
 * Neat. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is on my to-see list ;D - Walkazo 23:17, 17 May 2009 (EDT)
 * You can get the DVDs at Best Buy. :) And the 1st 3 volumes of the Manga are in North America. :) (I have all 3 in NA ^_^). So how long 'til school's out? It's weird not talking to you on a regular basis.

I'll keep that in mind. School's out in a month, but it's the hardest month of the year. I have to write two essays (one English, one French), do two art projects and another English project that hasn't been assigned yet, write four exams, give three French presentations, read/reread two books by Friday, and keep up with day-to-day math and science homework too. I also have to oversee locker painting, volunteer on the weekends, babysit after school and stay active on the Wiki. It's nuts. - Walkazo 01:18, 18 May 2009 (EDT)

Thank You
Thank you for adding the rule Walkazo. I realized I messed up multiple times on the proposal and I also realized that you are right, the wiki doesn't have super-specific rules and it has worked so far, I shouldn't just come and try to change everything. Next time I want to consider making a proposal, I'm going to think it through before I post it up.
 * No problem; at least we all learned how much we needed that rule as a result of the whole mess. It's always good to learn from one's mistakes, otherwise you'll make them again. I hate making mistakes, so I brood over my Proposal ideas for weeks before posting them, so that I have it just right. I also don't bother keeping tallies of anything I do, so that I'm not tempted to go for quantity over quality; after all, editing isn't a competition. - Walkazo 00:10, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

Dry Death Lands
Hey Walkzo. Why did you get rid of the Desert template?
 * Ok makes sense. Thanks for explaining

Userpedia
Hey Walkazo, I have a question. Would you like to be in my story on Userpedia? I would have you with cool powers as a Sysop, as it combines elements of Userpedia/Mario Wiki and the Real World.
 * Sure. I love being in stories. Can you tell me more about how it combines RL aspects with the Wiki? - Walkazo 17:57, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
 * I'd love too. For example (I haven't really thought out how it would work for Sysops, but your role would come in about 2 chapters), their is one part where a gang of trolls will try beating up Mario & Luigi in the city of Pipe Plaza. The Patrollers (like police officers) come and block them (defeat and banish them from the wiki indefinitely) and Mario is drained in energy and has injuries (like bruises). The patroller would give him "rollback" (a medical potion which all patrollers posses) to undo all the damage the trolls did to him. I know it may sound weird, but I still have time to come up with better things.
 * The premise is a little weird, but I like the stuff about "rollback" and the Patrollers (but if they're the cops, what are the Sysops?). - Walkazo 20:41, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Personal Images
You know about this image. Image:Mario7--screenshot small.jpg Actually, it's not a personal image. I kept that for the Beta article. I just wanted to let you know.

Hey Walkazo...
I need a favor. Could you please add links to the Pipe Project and the Shroom to the Welcome Template?
 * Well, uh, never mind. And about the story, Sysops are kind of like lieutenant officers, as opposed to "regular" police officers. They have more abilities, as the story explains, like the CheckUser (tracking) device, and other abilities will be revealed later.
 * Okey-dokey. - Walkazo 00:32, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey, Walkazo. While you're online, could you add the links to the Welcome template? Stooben does not seem to have done it.
 * I added the PipeProjects, but not the 'Shroom, since the Welcome Template's focus is on getting new Users editing. The 'Shroom has a link on the side-bar so if they're interested in the community aspect of the Wiki, they'll find it without any problem. - Walkazo 17:37, 14 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Thank you. SMB

Spelling
HI! and thanks for telling me, its not stupid, actually it is good you told me. I dont speak french, so it was a spelling mistake :)
 * Yes, i think its fine if you ask for permission :)
 * Yes, its fine :) thanks

Referata...
...Userpedia-Referata is/has been taken over by trolls. I know it is very inactive, but I need help. Do you use Referata? I think it says you are a Bureaucrat on there. If that is the case, please log in and help me fight the trolls. I still use Adriels, but Referata has info. that Adriels doesn't. That info. could be saved.
 * Oh... I didn't know Referata was taken over... And about the info., I think there were some articles, I will happily add them over to Adriels.

Birdo Image
Thanks, Walkazo! ^o^
 * For deleting the Birdo image, right? No problem: it's what I do. I hope it turns out to be a real image though - it was a cool piece of artwork... pun intended ;D - Walkazo
 * Me too, that picture was cool! keep up the good work!!~ ;D btw, have you seen this video?  I really like it! ;D

Well, the time is up for today,I only been here because I had to fix some problems with my old school, and (tomorrow) I have to go to my new home from Spain, oh.., good bye! I will miss you. =( Hasta la vista! ^,^ and thank you very very very muuuch!!!! ;D, Good luck with your studies! n__n   your friend:

Redirects
Ok and thanks for telling me that -RedFire Mario
 * I looked in Recent changes, those are a lot of redirects.
 * I actually held back on deleting redirects; there were a lot I personally thought were unnecessary, but which I accepted were potentially useful depending on one's style of short-forms. - Walkazo
 * True. So how are you doing Walkazo?
 * I'm okay. School just ended, but I'm still really busy at the moment. I was away from the Wiki for a couple days, so I'm trying to make it up tonight. I've got a couple projects on the go, and more planned, and I'm gonna be re-joining Userpedia soon, so it's gonna get pretty crazy pretty fast for me. - Walkazo
 * That's good, also, I'm glad you are re-joining Userpedia, I can tell you are going to make it better. :D Super Mario Bros. By the way, you were the Director of the Disconnected, right? Well, no issues have been released in your absence, and other users have tried to take over. I think you will make a good Director as well.
 * I dunno, I'm rather strict and that doesn't go over well in UP these days... Again, I'd be a strict Director: proper grammar and deadlines would be a must, or you'd get kicked off of the staff. But I'd rather be a professional despot than a popular one, so whatever. - Walkazo 19:18, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
 * Well, I understand. Personally, I think that would be a good thing. I don't think users who miss deadlines are very reliable. Proper grammar is a given: Nobody really wants to receive a mess and have to go through it and correct it. So I still think you would make a good director.

Proposal
I tried to take your advice, but the amount of rules on my sub-page goes up to 7 (you said 6). Did I mess up?
 * The fault was mine: I originally combined the two Sysop/Crat rules, but when I split them back up into two, I forgot to change rule 9's new number from "6" to "7". Sorry about that. - Walkazo 22:00, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
 * It's okay. BTW, thank you for your suggestions. :) 22:55, 29 June 2009 (EDT)
 * No problem. - Walkazo 22:57, 29 June 2009 (EDT)

Hey
Do you like this template version more than the other one, I could pretty much change the colors to anything:

So, do you think it could replace the old template?-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 10:28, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Hey Walkazo
Could you please protect all of the archives pages linked to on the Poll Selection page? Everybody keeps on editing them, something I asked not to be done. So if you could do that, I would greatly appreciate it.
 * Thank you! 23:16, 4 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Thank you for asking me - I hardly ever get to protect things! - Walkazo 23:19, 4 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I got madder and madder when I put the notice up there and I saw 5-15 edits on the page, I'm glad I could assist you assist me. 23:27, 4 July 2009 (EDT)

Lost Brothers Bear Images
Finally caught your note. Images are back. I created a talk page for future referencing. I should get e-mails now, yeah? Anyway, sorry it took so long. Any other images you're looking for? Got a slew. Icysugarspike 20:48, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

Don't Worry
It's OK, I fixed the bold problem (It was like a game of spot the differences)-- Marioguy1 My talk page (haha, no link for you ) 23:07, 5 July 2009 (EDT)

Speculation
I'm temporarily back from retirement to ask one question: When is speculation allowed? I know that it is generally removed, but I did read an adminastrator on wikia (I know wikia is different from Mariowiki but they're both wikis) say that speculation is okay as long as there is sufficient evidence. Is this true for Super Mario wiki, and if so, then what is the borderline between speculation and sufficient evidence? An example of something I'm unsure about is the second bullet here. Anyway, your help with this would be greatly appreciated as it was with other things. White Knight 21:15, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for you help! That pretty much answered about 90% of my question, but there's one other thing (which I probably should have just asked in the previous message). What should Mario Wiki do when there are several, leginamite possibilities as to why something happened? Take Snake's Codec about Sonic for example. Look at this quote from SMASHwiki "The reason for this dialogue is unknown, but there are many given possibilities, such as a joke relating to the fact that some hedgehogs are capable of eating snakes, the fact that Sonic is also a 3rd Party character just like Snake, Sonic's opposition to Mario, or that Snake doesn't like fantasy themes (like Sonic) as shown in codecs with Mei Ling. Another possible explanation would be that Hideo Kojima had to actually ask Sakurai to input Snake into the game, while for Sonic, it's the fans who asked Sakurai to add him to the roster. This could also be a reference to the fact that Snake's Japanese voice actor is the son of Dr. Eggman's Japanese voice actor." Another example (in case that was a poor one) is the Negative Zone. That could be a refrence to Luigi always being in Mario's shadow, the infamous minus world, the fact that Weegee was just a palette swap of Mario originally, the destroyed Sammer Kingdom of Super Paper Mario, or something else. That's a lot of possibilites, which most seem that they're possible to be the correct reason. So on one hand, I feel that the readers should be informed on this interesting info. On the other hand, only one can be correct, and I feel a list like this could soon grow into a mess. So I also think if there are multiple possibilities, these things shouldn't be there and the reader should interpret in his/her own way. So how should one handle multiple, yet leginamite, possibilities to explain something? White Knight 16:47, 7 July 2009 (EDT)

Hello
Have you seen the state of it? It's scary... I had to make a new section there were so many Poll Selection proposals. Anywho, sorry for getting weird yesterday, I was tired and realized that we should keep articles uncensored. Anyway, how are you? 22:16, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 * What is up? 23:28, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Editing is up. And yes, there are too many Poll Proposals for their own good. As for the censorship thing, it's okay. Lots of people get bent outta shape over one thing or another, especially on hot-button issues. - Walkazo 23:32, 6 July 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I don't see the situation improving. I wish there weren't so many of the Poll proposals, I am getting confused over each one... 8| Anywho, I'll talk to you another time, I have to go now. Goodnight! 23:36, 6 July 2009 (EDT)

Question
How do you make a proposal, could you please make a proposal to enforce a no-signature thing (only the template) on all Featured article votes page, every time I look at the Luigi nomination, I get a headache from all the different signatures.

Thanks
Thanks for the ideas, why don't you vote on my proposal? Anyhow, I'm afraid that I will have to bug you with another question; Why can't I move pages? I've tried moving, I've tried Special:MovePage but it says: You must be an established registered user and logged in to move a page.

Return to Main Page.

Do you know why this is? I know that I confirmed my E-mail as I just clicked the confirmation link a few minutes ago. So why doesn't it work?

P.S. Can you respond to my question on Template talk:Welcome?
