Userpage help!
Hey Walkazo, ParaLemmy1234 here. My userpage got almost entirely deleted, and I can't seem to build/recreate it. Can you help me address this problem?

Thanks, User:ParaLemmy1234


 * Just undo your last two edits. Or go to the last revision before you deleted everything and hit edit (i.e. this). - Walkazo 22:07, 24 April 2013 (EDT)

Can you help me?

Reason: If I download anything, Cox will block my internet, because I have overlimit 50 and 150 Mbit/s.

Thanks!


 * No. You should focus your time and energy on editing the wiki, instead of Personal File acquisition and other such userspace frivolities. - Walkazo 18:29, 26 April 2013 (EDT)

You. Are. Awesome.
I've been reading The 'Shroom since 2010, and for me, it was just a fantastic, monthly e-newspaper to glance at every once in a while when it was updated, and has spawned some pretty fantastic opinion articles in its time. However, the only two times I have ever been truly engrossed in a 'Shroom article, and amazed by the theories and opinions on the screen in front of me, was when I read both of your 'Shroom articles. Both of them were written perfectly and had awesome theories (I enjoyed the process of deducing the Koopaling's mother down to a simple DNA code, it actually got me interested in genetics, and I'm hoping to study it further when I'm older). I've never viewed any Mario species in the same way after reading your first article, and it was pure genius to answer a theory that Nintendo has completely retconned out of existence (I too still believe that the Koopalings are the biological children of Bowser, but I never really considered their mother) in the second article. You are awesome for tackling those two theories and writing what I believe to be two of the greatest articles on the 'Shroom. :D GBAToad (talk) 12:02, 27 April 2013 (EDT)


 * That's really great! We haven't done any detailed experiments involving genetics yet (I feel like such a geek asking my teacher about doing some >:3). I actually can't wait to start learning more about chromosomes (I'm hoping that Pokémon X and Y have a genetics theme to go along with their names, but that's really not important), viruses, bacteria, HOW TO GENETICALLY MODIFY A TURTLE TO RESEMBLE A KOOPA  and DNA structure.I'm glad that the field is rapidly expanding right now; it makes me want to discover something really interesting! If you don't mind me asking, but what was your favorite thing you did while you were learning genetics?

 * APOG is a cool mnemonic ;), and Bowser and the Transformation of MM294 was a great read. Between homework and studying, I only just got to finish reading it now. It was smart giving Ludwig a German accent, it's really fitting for him. The method was the most interesting part (probably because it featured some pretty cool genetics jargon), and I loved the comeuppance at the end. The whole process for sterilizing equipment and growing pGLO bacteria was a fun one to follow, and I'll bet it was twice as fun in the lab as it was writing it from the perspective of the Koopalings. Thank you for responding to all of my comments, it's been great talking to someone who is experienced in genetics and editing Super Mario Wiki. Thanks, Walkazo. Once again, you are really awesome. :D GBAToad (talk) 17:43, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Proposal
Hi! (I'm writing this after I saw you removed my proposal) I wrote it in "Writing Guideline" because it was the only section that would have fit, but apparently I shouldn't have done here. That's fine. But I wonder why you said that it wasn't worth a proposal, because I saw quite a lot of articles written like this, and it annoys me each time. Should I create a thread on the forum instead, or is it still unnecessary? Thanks. 17:39, 27 April 2013 (EDT)
 * Thank you! 08:41, 28 April 2013 (EDT)

???
Walkazo, why did you spell incorrectly on this? 06:59, 29 April 2013 (EDT)
 * I've said a lot of things on that page: you're gonna have to be more specific. - Walkazo 09:30, 29 April 2013 (EDT)
 * [Now that the above post has been edited to include a section link...] You mean the "now" instead of "not"? That was a typo. - Walkazo 18:16, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Images
After a proposal has been passed, are you allowed to create one that adds on to it? -- 12:45, 5 May 2013 (EDT)
 * As long as it doesn't overturn anything established by the first proposal, it should be okay, but it depends on the specific situation, since some additions might actually be more like changes to the original vision of the initial proposal. - Walkazo 19:16, 5 May 2013 (EDT)
 * This proposal states that we should move files to appropriate names, so I was wondering, would it be feasible to have a filter or something that could detect undesirable filenames? Because after all the current ones are taken care of, this wouldn't be a problem anymore. -- 18:01, 6 May 2013 (EDT)
 * I don't think it's possible, and it's unnecessary anyway. Images have always been screened manually, only now we're looking at the title as well as what's in the image itself: no biggie. - Walkazo 18:41, 6 May 2013 (EDT)
 * Should this be moved to somewhere else? -- 17:14, 7 May 2013 (EDT)
 * If you want to withdraw the proposal, yeah, it should go in the archives with a grey outcome reading "DELETED BY PROPOSER". As for the request itself, do what Baby Luigi told you to do and bring it up on the "Requesting edits for locked pages." forum thread. - Walkazo 17:20, 7 May 2013 (EDT)
 * K thanks. And should I provide a draft for it on the forum (see my comment on the proposal page) -- 17:21, 7 May 2013 (EDT)
 * If you have a specific idea for what the section on should look like, sure, you could make a little draft if you'd like. No guarantee we'll use it, but if it's good, it'll save the admins the trouble of writing something up ourselves ;) -  Walkazo 17:30, 7 May 2013 (EDT)
