User talk:Time Turner/Archive 7

Hello to you all, I'm Time Turner, and if you want to talk to me, I got a couple of rules for you first.


 * 1) Sign all of your comments so I know who left it.
 * 2) Spelling and grammar are prefered.
 * 3) No vandalism, no trolling, no spamming, blah blah blah.
 * 4) I will reply to you on your talk page.
 * 5) Whenver starting a new conversation, put it under a new header.
 * 6) Just to let you know, I am a fan of numerous genres and forms of media, such as My Little Pony and Doctor Who. If that bothers you in a way that makes you feel the need to attempt to provoke me or otherwise instigate something, we're better off not talking.

re: images
are you using vba-m (presumably vba has the same thing, but i'm not sure myself)? if so, i just highlighted the record cover in the selection menu, opened up the oam viewer, scrolled to where the image was, hit "Save...", and renamed/compressed/uploaded the image - Turboo (talk) 17:04, 5 May 2013 (EDT)


 * holding down B will make it go faster, but instead of playing through everything, i just downloaded a save file with every souvenir - Turboo (talk) 17:50, 5 May 2013 (EDT)


 * does this link work? if it does, download it and import it as a gameshark snapshot - Turboo (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2013 (EDT)


 * http://www.gamefaqs.com/gba/922156-warioware-twisted/saves, download the first one - Turboo (talk) 18:16, 5 May 2013 (EDT)


 * i downloaded a .gsf soundtrack rip and converted the files (for the japanese versions/songs that were unedited in the localization), for the english/edited ones i recorded them through vba and trimmed them in audacity - Turboo (talk) 19:57, 6 May 2013 (EDT)

Re:Vandalism
Sorry about that. I was patrolling stuff via Special:Patrol ; I had my mouse pointer on the "Endorse" button, though when I clicked, it somehow glitched down to the "Revert" button below.

You splash someone.
Why did you splash The Cutie Mark Crusaders?:

Hi,

I removed the link from my user page. Actually I wanted to check if all the domes from SMG had an uppercase in their title, but now it's unnecessary if we're gonna rename all of them to [dome] (Super Mario Galaxy) instead of [dome (dome) or [dome] (Dome]. Thanks for warning me! 11:42, 31 May 2013 (EDT)
 * Actually, I had two links to the page and I had only deleted one. I removed the last one, so it should be okay. 11:56, 31 May 2013 (EDT)

re:Knockoffs
Naw, "controversies" (as in media outrage over content in Mario games or related products) and rip-offs are reasonably distinct subjects. Let's not content-creep that page. --Glowsquid (talk) 19:13, 4 June 2013 (EDT)

Just To Let You Know
Hi Time Turner! Sorry I left the Mini Mountaineer article a stub. I was going to start it before my dinner, and then I would edit it more after that. It usually takes me a day or two to complete a New Super Mario Bros. U challenge article. Please know that I do not rush to create an article, and that I do different parts at different times. Can the stub be removed? I expect to be completed with the article tomorrow. MarioKartManiac (talk) 19:15, 13 June 2013 (EDT)


 * I'll make sure I'll get it done. I've never gotten a stub on one of my articles before since I didn't start right before a meal, and my other articles aren't erased! After I'm done, can I remove the stub? MarioKartManiac (talk) 19:51, 13 June 2013 (EDT)


 * Oh really? Never knew about using colons! I've been here for only 3 months so far, so I've been catching on to those types of details. So when I'm done with the article, I can still take the stub off, right? Articles I know of like Time Attack Trial and Acorn Plains Speed Run are going to be around the same size of Mini Mountaineer, and those two don't have stubs. MarioKartManiac (talk) 20:01, 13 June 2013 (EDT)


 * I have just completed writing the objective for Mini Mountaineer. By the way, challenges in New Super Mario Bros. U are not as long as real levels, so articles about NSMBU challenges will be shorter. I will be adding a picture to complete the article today or tomorrow, and I will be complete. Thank you for the info on the colons. MarioKartManiac (talk) 20:18, 13 June 2013 (EDT)


 * I am complete with the article now. Can you please remove the stub? MarioKartManiac (talk) 11:55, 14 June 2013 (EDT)


 * I remember the stub saying "please don't remove until an acceptable amount of info has been added". I guess I could of, but I didn't know if I was allowed to. Thank you for some of the info you gave me! MarioKartManiac (talk) 15:31, 14 June 2013 (EDT)

WarioWare
I noticed that you had the template WarioWare Smooth Moves in your unfinished work page, and recently I had created Lifeline and Survival, and I'm not sure whether I'm coming into conflict with what you want to and whether it'd be okay to create the other multiplayer minigames and maybe the Staff Credits one.

Re: Deleting Categories
I'm not that familiar with category policy, but I'd go with a TPP on the off-chance there are people who are opposed to the idea but haven't seen the page or voiced their opinions. As an aside, you might want to link to the category talk page next time (or just mention the category without linking to it), since when you linked to it as you did, you placed my talk page into the category. 13:55, 5 August 2013 (EDT)

Sick Status Effect
My computer supports Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004, so it may support the 2004 flash player. If someone knows the version of it I will open it and upload the images.

Question
Do you have a 3DS and New Leaf? I'm looking for New Leaf buddies.--

I have a question, can you help?
It's here: Talk:The_Year_of_Luigi_Sound_Selection 13:41, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
 * Thanks for responding to my question. I'll try uploading one right now, to see if it works. 13:49, 29 September 2013 (EDT)
 * User:Yoshi876 said I should ask you. Thanks for the indent tip. 13:55, 29 September 2013 (EDT)

Quotes
Standard is pretty much the only reason, really. I don't really even understand why it is myself; it's just standard.

Hi Time Turner
I see that you had regenerated again. And here's living proof:



See? 09:21, 16 February 2014 (EST)

Present
To celebrate my anniversary, I'll give you a present.

Take great care of it. 20:07, 16 February 2014 (EST)

Hi
Hello. Do you want to be friends? -- 16:22, 19 February 2014 (EST)

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Unfeaturing
I've shortened the plot section in the Subspace Emissary section. It's still quite long, but it's very difficult condensing it even further without leaving out vital details. Still, I hope I've done enough to reduce the section since I did rewrote the entire dang thing from scratch. Although I did not fix the other problems yet, please consider what I've done for the Subspace Emissary plot section. Thanks! 23:17, 20 February 2014 (EST)


 * Actually, I've addressed every single issue you've had a problem with in the Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Here we go:


 * "Let me start off with the most evident thing: there is a rewrite template for the Subspace Emissary section. According to rule 5, this already means that it doesn't deserve to keep its FA status. To elaborate, the section describing the plot is absolutely filled with grammatical errors ("which they proceed to carrier off"), speculative text ("whose intent is to kill Lucas"), and especially fanciful writing ("Lucas soon gets his foot snagged on an unearthed root"). None of these are acceptable in a wiki article."


 * I rewrote the entire thing, from scratch, probably cutting the entire plot section in half or even more than that. I've gotten rid of unnecessary details of each scene (e.g. "Mario picks his nose, twirls his mustache two and half times, and lolls out his tongue as he dies, lazy-eyed." to "Mario dies"). Yes, the writing was horrible. The section may be quite long, but it's extremely difficult to further heavily condense the thing without removing significant plot points (nearly every cutscene advances or describes the plot in some way, so the section is basically a sum up of each cutscene).


 * "Besides that, though, another aspect that I'm not particularly fond of is the article's abuse of subsections. For example, the Rules section, which carries fourteen subsections. Most of them are relatively basic in the first place, with some only having a single sentence. That section can certainly be organized in a better fashion (do we even need that much info on rules?). Small subsections crop up around the entire article, though, and I really think that it would benefit from a clean scrubbing of sections."


 * The amount of unnecessary detail into each subsection (particularly, the rules section) is horrendous, so I removed the subsections and removed the descriptions of some rulesets (do we need really every single description on "loser pick", setting stock intervals, setting time intervals, having a subsection on damage ratio? No! So, I either deleted the details or merged the subsections into one bigger section.


 * "Also, this article does not describe at all what the gameplay is like. The Gameplay section covers what's new about this game in regards to its predecessors, but it does not state at all how the game actually plays, which I think is just a silly thing to gloss over."


 * This is the first one I dealt with. Good thing you acknowledge this being improved until it's not a problem anymore.


 * "The descriptions for the stages are also not very descriptive. Some of them say things like "it is filled with many gimmicks that can either assist or hinder the player", "this stage encorporates elements of various Fire Emblem games" (oh hey, a typo), and "Very similar to Corneria and Venom", which tells me nothing. I know that we have the actual articles of those stages to fully describe them, but if the description leaves me with more questions than answers, it's not a good description. There may be other things that I haven't mentioned, but what I have here is a laundry list of problems with this article."


 * Done. Yes, the descriptions are woefully vague and bare. Good thing I added the stage hazards and what actually happens in those stages. So, we have a more fleshed out description for each stage, ensuring that those that want a general idea don't need to click on the links. There.


 * I dedicated hours to satisfying your complaints so please, if there is anything else that needs a thorough cleanup, please, please, please let me know. If not, I think this article can stay featured. :) 01:08, 21 February 2014 (EST)


 * I don't really expect people to help me, though, and I don't know who will. Lord Grammaticus said that he would do some of the work, but I don't know when, and I want to do it before the article gets unfeatured. I have a very bad tendency to lack initiative, and once I get started, I dedicate my efforts to have it completed as soon as I can, or else I'll simply forget about it.


 * Anyway, I'll be working on character descriptions shortly. 14:30, 21 February 2014 (EST) Me and Mario7 are two different people.
 * Nah, this is probably one of the few times I'd like to engage in a one-plumber effort. I've done it before. I'll do it again. Also, I'm not rushing either. 14:44, 21 February 2014 (EST)
 * Expanded on the character sections, partly. I'd like to see if this is what you're thinking about, and I will expand on additional characters shortly, if you approve. 15:05, 21 February 2014 (EST)
 * Well, writing goes through proofreading all the time. And it's not like it's horrific. I guess my writing isn't top notch, but I was trying to write varied sentence structures. 15:26, 21 February 2014 (EST)
 * That was oversight and a typo on my part, heh. Don't know how I eff up with Link's section like that, but my writing should be good otherwise. 15:51, 21 February 2014 (EST)
