Regarding to your recent Character Artworks uploads
I notice the artworks you have recently uploaded, but what you need to know is to not cut off part of a character artwork for the character's pages. Unless one existed single high resolution art file from a reliable source such as Nintendo, or video game source site (as such IGN or GameStop).

Thank you. As I am new to the wiki I was unaware of this. I will no longer make this mistake.

Forum account? (Regarding your recent uploads rel. to M&S Rio 2016)
Hey, just wondering, do you have a forum account by any chance? Because there is something that I wish to ask you about those M&S Rio 2016 arts in question that I can't post here on your talkpage. Let me know soon; thanks so much in advance for your time. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 10:27, 14 December 2017 (EST)

Hi, M.C. I unfortunately do not have a forum account, but I do have an email account. Is there a problem, or just an inquiry? Could you at least explain or hint at why you cannot ask me here on my talkpage? Nintendo101 (talk) 18:32, 19 December 2017 (EST)

Koopa Troopa
Sorry, I didn't see the direct, but how are you sure Koopa Troopa would be "unlockable" and not default or an NPC player? Koopa Troopa isn't a series regular, like Mario and Link are in Smash... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:38, 8 March 2018 (EST)
 * Hi, Doc. The citation I attributed displays what I'm talking about. During the Direct, they announced an online tournament mode for Aces. The reward for participating in these tournaments are "t-shirts" and "additional characters", and they showed silhouettes for each on screen. The character silhouette was very clearly Koopa Troopa - holding a tennis racket. You can see it at the 4:23 mark here. Let me know when you have seen this.

 * Hm, not sure if that's "unlockable" in the traditional sense, seems to be a combination of that and DLC due to necessitating online interaction (a crummy way to have unlocking criteria, if you ask me...) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 23:56, 9 March 2018 (EST)
 * Huh, you have a point. I never thought of it that way! I recall some people thinking/assuming/hoping they'll be means to unlock characters off-line, such as through the story mode. But in any case, would it be more appropriate to present the info as "Koopa Troopa ("additional" character)"? Nintendo101 (talk) 00:00, 10 March 2018 (EST)

Coelacanth
No one called you pedantic. The user simply updated the table from an older version, unawares overwriting the change you made. -- 18:52, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * Thank you for the clarification, and I apologize if I seemed accusative. I have had unfortunate experiences recently with users on a few other wikis. I guess it made me a little defensive. Nintendo101 (talk) 23:16, 11 February 2019 (EST)
 * No worries. -- 22:05, 12 February 2019 (EST)

Sources for images
Make sure you check the sources for the images when you upload artwork, don't just randomly use google images and post whatever you see there. Images must be official not fanarts even if they're replicas of official artwork CastleResearch (talk) 11:28, October 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * Hi. I appreciate that you contacted me and I will be more careful identifying sources in the future, but I do not appreciate the implication that I locate images uncritically. I have never knowingly uploaded an image that was fanart, nor have I every casually pulled images from Google. Cheers.Nintendo101 (talk) 20:53, October 4, 2020 (EDT)

If you didn't use google images, then you would have known that it's fanart since it can be easily found here: https://www.deviantart.com/vinfreild/art/522059687 CastleResearch (talk) 21:58, October 4, 2020 (EDT)
 * I located the image on a png depository site called FavPNG by chance in my attempt to locate lost official artwork from the Metroid and Star Fox series. Anyone can upload images to such a site and while some are fan creations quite a few are official images. It was seen there without any context and presumed official. This was in error.

Images
Hello, please don't upload models over game screenshots. Both have a place on this wiki, so they should be uploaded separately, not one over another. 17:39, January 13, 2021 (EST)
 * Sure thing. Sorry! I'll reverse my revisions. - Nintendo101 (talk) 17:43, January 13, 2021 (EST)

Mister I
Is that an actual render or just the textures artificially laid over each other? Because the latter's been deleted repeatedly for being inaccurate to their actual relative size. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 10:44, January 14, 2021 (EST)
 * Hello! I am not sure, but I tentatively assume "no". I did not procure the image myself. It was uploaded here on Mario's Castle by Duraner Hawkeye (which I should have specified in the image summary and will fix after this post) and I assume good faith. There was no warning about this specific image file or any similar one having previously been uploaded to Mario Wiki, so I assumed it was fine. If this is a problem, I can remove it. - Nintendo101 (talk)
