So if you havent started writing your shroom, wanna do a paper mario parter review? If you have started, what one are you doing. Oh, and it seems that the last archive didnt work????

Well, then we can do like a wario issue, I do wario world, you do one of your games? we would just do our regular issues, but with a theme (wario, paper mario, ect.)

Mr. Shroomington
HI !!!

You didnt send your section in time for this 'Shroom's issue, so I wanted to know why, and if you are still going to write for the 'Shroom. If your reason isnt good enough, I'm sorry, but you'll be fired

Hey Bloc Partier, could you help us with the Yoshi article, it really needs help if its gonna stay a featured article and weve still got a lot to do. 12:13, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Hi Bloc Partier...
How are you? You never knew me (I think), but it's interesting to see you online (I heard you left the wiki for a bit for school or something). 22:57, 16 August 2009 (EDT)

Images
Why are you removing those images? If they get deleted, they clog up this page and that is a bad thing to have clogged up. If you don't want them in articles, could you at least mark them for deletion?
 * Thx, I'll help!
 * Srry I couldn't help (and you wasted a thank you : . It's thanksgiving where I live and it was dinner time so, you know.
 * OK, a bunch of people on chat want me to ask you why you believe those images should be deleted, so why?

Hello
Hi there. I was wondering what you don't like about the proposed way you voted on oppose for? FD09

Hm, that might have made sense for my first proposal but not this one. There is no suggestion that one media is more important than the other here, just that they are not all the same, which goes with there not being a canon. The argument that it currently gives no merit to one over the other isn't important because with either argument a user might assume one way or the other, there's no stopping that and neither is the lesser of two issues. The point of making it more organized is not to give one more importance over the other, it's to make it more organized. The idea you think it is organized now doesn't make sense because everything is just one to the next. There's no order.

So by that logic you would find it more orderly to put every type of library book in abc order rather than have it broken down into sections like horror, romance, fiction, while still keeping an abc order. You seem to be preferring a more cramped harder to sort through pattern. FD09

Image
 This is what it would basically look like. Of course it would say latest portrayal rather than portrayed by. Also, it would have had hair and eyes but at this point in time the voters seemed to not like that idea. FD09

My Proposal
I removed the Bowser??? and Tubba Blubba's Heart examples from my proposal. Please realize those are examples and not immediately affected by this proposal. My proposal is only meant to trigger consideration of merging of such articles, with discussion held on those of controversial disagreement. However, I decided that those two examples were too dissimilar to what I feel my proposal is trying to accomplish, so I removed them. Hopefully this explanation and the removal of those examples helps you reconsider your vote. Thank you. Redstar 22:58, 9 December 2009 (EST)

A while back...
When you still went by 'Infecto' you mentioned in Talk:Special World you wanted to talk about the changes to the overworld once Special World is completed. Was that ever done? I cant seem to find it. Thanks. MrMacMan 05:48, 17 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks anyway, i never got to finish my copy of SMW. have to pick it up again at some point, thanks for your work with the wiki, i appreciate it. MrMacMan 11:34, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Articles proposed for merging
Elemental crystals:
 * Earth Crystal
 * Fire Crystal
 * Water Crystal
 * Wind Crystal (Note that a vote in any direction will affect the three other crystal articles, so it'd be best to just add a single vote and discussion to the Earth Crystal page as that's where the work has already begun taking place)


 * Crystal Bit
 * Straw
 * Tuff Puff
 * Lava Bud
 * Petit Piranha
 * Here's a few other articles proposed for merging or splitting, so it might help if you put in something for these as well.

Split:
 * Blue Toad
 * Yellow Toad
 * Metal Mario
 * Yoshi Baby

Merge:
 * Bamma
 * Flare
 * Tubba Blubba's Heart (I'm no longer pushing for this one, since with some thought I don't think it'd be helpful. But, the merge is already up so some discussion would help in making it final one way or the other)

Patroller once more
Welcome back to the team, man. Keep up the good work. =) 22:53, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * Per Stooben. Glad to see you aboard The Polar Express the administrative team again. 23:05, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * To think that right before you came online I was going to talk to you about something - I guess I'll do it after the congratulations calm down; good job on everything that you've been doing! P.S. You'll have to update your userpage :P

Hey, congrats from me as well! By the way, we haven't talked in a long time. So... how are you? Remember the good old times when we fought together to make the FA process better? Haha. I'm glad to see you're still around. 05:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Congrats BP! Welcome back! -- 11:04, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * No prob, dude. :D 23:07, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Proposal
Well, it seems all that has died down so...I have a proposal to make about your proposal; a different format because I don't want to have too many proposals going on at the same time and about the same things...anyhow, I had this idea a while ago and here it is in step 1/step 2/step 3/so on and so forth format:
 * 1) Eliminate "Splits & Merges" section on this page.
 * 2) Use "talk page proposals" to split and merge articles.
 * 3) Have the templates, and  used on the articles to display a talk page proposal on the article.
 * 4) I can wire something up that will automatically update the proposals page where you list all of this (no matter where you list it) with all the new talk page proposals.

So, what do you think of this? It is basically your idea with a couple adjustments and the only downside being that we will not be able to propose anything except splits and merges on a talk page proposal (which is what you made this proposal to do I'm sure).

Header!!
THANKS!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO :D!!!!!! -- 17:27, 19 December 2009 (EST)

About the merges...
Sounds fair. Redstar 15:53, 26 December 2009 (EST)

friend request
Helooooooooooooooo Bloc Partier, do you want to be friends? 17:11, 3 January 2010 (EST)

TPP
I have to ask you two different things.
 * 1) Could you make a rule in your talk page proposals thing that shows the format of TPPs? TPPs are disorganized and some have no body, some don't say the proposer and deadline. I'd even go as far as to suggest a template be made for them! If you can no longer do this then I'd suggest you make another proposal.
 * 2) I also need to know how TPPs are archived. Do we just take them off the page? So if the vote count has less than five votes are they just deleted? Do we archive them in the proposal page archive? I feel there is a lot to come clear about TPPs in the coming months and I hope it is clear soon considering the current amount of TPPs...
 * Well, you didn't disappoint at all! According to your proposal there is a rule saying the different format types so I could technically add that rule to the TPP section of the Proposals page. The archive format is OK - I would suggest a template but that may be to much.
 * OK, another problem: What is "Overtime"? I know the definition but when does it end? The Metal thing has been up for weeks and I suggest we make a deadline for it...soon. It's clogging up the proposals page and I think it should finally be blown over.

Hi
Hi Bloc Partier. Nice to meet you.

Bloc
I apologize for sounding as if you said that I was not allowed to overturn a previous proposal. I hope to win over your support for the proposal before the deadline. Thanks, Marwikedor 22:50, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

Captain Skull
I know your expertise is Wario Land articles. I have just made great improvements to Captain Skull article from Wario World. Maybe, if you add a few more images, such as the wrecked ship or Wario attacking him or collecting his key afterward (or best of all, all of these), we could nominate Captain Skull as a featured article! Do something good for a great Wario villain! Plus, he has not appeared for a long time, and may never appear again (never say never). I would like to see more marwikians getting to know the character and getting interested in him. Marwikedor 23:54, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

Ahem.
Um, excuse me, but why did you remove that rewrite template from Yoshi's Island DS? If you look at the screenshots' statements, they are written in a way that writer thinks, almost in a childish way, like 'beautiful crystals' and 'kangaroo and Yoshi make friends'. Someone else also agreed that the statements need to be rewritten, so I'll put the template back on, if you don't mind. If you don't agree with me still, reply.


 * Whoops. Didn't know you're part of the administration team or something. Sorry for offending you.


 * That's okay. They're just some statements from a gallery. No need to feel bad.

Proposal
Because we don't extend proposals, and it was past the deadline.

TPP Rule 5
It was missing because I removed it, after being persuaded by 's observations on the talk page; I'm so used to dealing with the proposal rules I guess I sorta forgot that other people do care about these things, and didn't bother waiting for a third opinion on the matter - my bad.

Anyway, is it alright with you if we scrap that rule? No one follows it anyway: they just extend the deadline until enough people vote to make a decision which, if memory serves, has always been in favour of the proposal, which hadn't been neglected because it lacked merit, but because there simply weren't enough people who knew or cared enough about the subject to weigh in (or at least make a definitive decision), as is the case with many talk page discussions. I also think the rule unnecessarily muddles up the general NO QUORUM / three-vote majority rules (7 and 8): based on what we've seen so far, I don't see why those rules can't simply be used in the TPPs as well. So, seeing as the currently incorrect extension strategy being used for the TPPs has actually worked out quite well, and in the spirit of making things as simple and user-friendly as possible, I think it would be best if we simply go with the flow and make it the actual policy. - 01:27, 27 March 2010 (EDT)
 * According to the rules being used at the time, Reversinator's actions were perfectly legitimate, so all we can do would be to re-post the proposal, and change the rules now so that it can't be listed as NO QUORUM again. Maybe instead of simply removing Rule 5 we should modify it and say TPPs will just have their deadlines extended indefinitely until a majority is reached; or maybe we should remove both it and the general NO QUORUM rule, since extending normal proposal deadlines should work fine too, and it's not like we had to use the rule very often anyway... - 17:52, 27 March 2010 (EDT)
 * Maybe we should run it by the other Admins first, since removing the NO QUORUM policy entirely is a bit too important for just the two of us to decide, and the others should be kept in the loop about these things. (I don't think it's significant enough for a proposal, though.) I'm heading on to the forums now, so I can tell them. - 21:59, 27 March 2010 (EDT)

Sysop time!
Way to go, bro! 01:42, 24 April 2010 (EDT)


 * Congratulations! --

Excellent job :D


 * Congrats :) 06:49, 24 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Well, ordinarily when someone gets promoted from patroller to sysop and then from sysop to bureaucrat, I copy/paste the congratulations message that I used before unless I can think of something better...I can see this won't work here so I'll just think of a whole new message: Good job! (wittiest congratulations EVER :P). P.S. You have to update your userpage.

Template: Mario characters
Koopa, Paratroopa, Goomba, Paragoomba, Pokey, Hammer Bro. etc. aren't neutral characters, they're enemies... Plus, I added some power-ups and forms. Why You deleted them??????????????????? --Mikiuz 12:14, 25 April 2010 (EDT)

Excuse me, I don't know you are an administrator. But I never seen a neutral Pokey. --Mikiuz 00:58, 26 April 2010 (EDT)

Smithy trivia
I would politely disagree with your decision to remove it. I think it is an interesting bit of trivia. When you look at it, there have been seven RPG's (if one counts Super Paper Mario, whose battle system is more of a sidescroller). Super Mario RPG (with Smithy as final antagonist), Paper Mario (Bowser), Paper Mario TT-YD (Shadow Queen), Super Paper Mario (Dimentio), Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (Cackletta), Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (Elder Princess Shroob), and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Fawful). Shadow Queen is possessing Peach, Dimentio is possessing/combined with Luigi as Super Dimentio, Cackletta is possessing Bowser as Bowletta, Elder Princess Shroob is combined with Bowser as Shrowser (though not technically possessing him) and Fawful has absorbed the Dark Star's power to become Dark Fawful, while the Dark Star eats him to become Dark Bowser, and both are fought as the final bosses. Bowser (on Paper Mario) and Smithy are both fought straight-out as they are, with no possessions or fusions, though Smithy does transform into different forms and Bowser is powered up by a machine and the Star Rod.

If you are an admin, I apologize for making this seem like I am challenging your decision, I am just wondering why you deemed it "unnecessary". Ghostkaiba297 23:56, 25 April 2010 (EDT)


 * So you are an admin, it says so in the post above. No disrespect intended, especially towards an admin, but is there really a need to cut down trivia? True, Smithy isn't the only one, but he is the only one exclusive to RPG's. As an admin on a Mario wiki, you no doubt know that Bowser appears as the main villain in most of the sidescrollers and 3D platformers as well, not just Paper Mario, and he's never been much for possessions or fusions, though he HAS been possessed once, and also it is presumed that Elder Princess Shroob chose to get eaten by Bowser to combine them into Shrowser, even though he wasn't technically possessed (in fact, he directly killed the Elder Princess Shroob with his fireballs, though ths was because of the Mario Bros., plus he was completely unaware of her presence, but I'm getting off the point here). I thought it was worth noting if the only two exceptions are Bowser and someone else who appears in less games, in Smithy's case, one. If you would prefer, I could stop adding trivia here and make my own Mario Triva wiki, a place for adding trivia. If there is a Wikiquote that does quotes, there can be a trivia wiki. That won't mean I completely deflect from here, though, if there is better non-trivia info I can add, I will.


 * And on a side note... some guy said he thinks Tatanga survived Super Mario Land 2 (where he FALLS OFF THE SCREEN), but when I asked him for comment, he refused a reply. I left the article that it is "Ambiguous whether or not he survived", or something like that, but what do you think? What is your personal opinion? If you haven't played or seen Super Mario Land 2, maybe this question isn't the best one for you. Ghostkaiba297 13:24, 3 May 2010 (EDT)


 * That's good to hear. I'll stay on this wiki, might still create separate one for trivia but even if I do I won't deflect away from this wiki merely on that, it's a good wiki and seems like it'll stay that way. Guess I made the right type of comment for Tatanga, then, according to you, (second time around of course). Ghostkaiba297 12:23, 5 May 2010 (EDT)

Warning
Actually... ALL users are aloud giving out warnings. Many other admins have seen me give out reminders, warnings and final warnings, and I was never warned for that.
 * So at the very least, you could change the reminder to "wrongfully giving out a warning".


 * So, should we take off the warning you gave to Mr bones about not giving other users warnings? --


 * Huh?Really?I saw a lot of users giving warnings and they are not admins!That's why I gave him a warning!ex:Reversinator, KS3...these are not admins you know.And if screaming vandal does worth a warning, then I thought that worths.But even so, I've seen users giving false warning by mistake and no one warned them.


 * By the way.That guy has already 2 reminders.


 * I'm beginning to question whether Reversinator was correct when he said "swearing is not against the rules"--TheUltimateKoopa 13:46, 29 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Me too...

Okay!
Nah, no need to apologies, I'm just happy you removed it!By the way, can you tell me where is the policy of this wiki?

Nominations
As you may or may not know, we have a rule for nominations that states that all nominations that excede two months are to be classified as failed nominations. Currently, we have a few nominations that are past two months. Can you archive them? And also, I'm gonna create a new talk archive. Can you protect it?
 * Here's my talk archive. And you're already archiving the nominations, so I don't need to list them, right?


 * Can you unprotect my first archive really quick. I'm trying to archive my pages every 75 posts, so I'll just move three of my old posts to my archive. --


 * You can leave it unprotected if you want, I don't care. :) --

>.< There is no such rule that Reversinator mentioned, so all the nominations shouldn't have been archived. Shoot. The proposal that introduced the rule actually said: "So, the only nominations that will be deleted are the ones that have lasted for more than 4 months, and that have at least a .5:1 opposers to supporters ratio." (Whatever the latter may mean.) @Bloc Partier: would you mind undoing all the edits? I don't think I have time for this now. 14:13, 1 May 2010 (EDT)

Eltario
You know Eltario, that guy who you gave a warning about not uploading Arend's artworks to the NSMBWii page. Well, he perfectly knows that those are unofficial artworks, yet posted them anyway. I recently blocked him from Fantendo and this might be his way of getting back a us. Just to let you know.


 * We recently blocked him at Kirby Wikia too for doing the same thing, uploading unofficial artwork. --

The 'Shroom
Hi BP! I don't know if you read The 'Shroom, but currently we are in a great lack of writers, and the Shroom staff decided that we should invite Wiki Admins to be part of it. So, would you like to come back The 'Shroom?? I remember that you used to write for it when I signed up, so I would greatly appreciate if you agreed to come back :) Thanks -- 12:52, 13 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok :) -- 20:48, 13 May 2010 (EDT)

Re: Rice Beach
Your welcome. 00:53, 15 May 2010 (EDT) Hope it passes

Mr. Sysop...
My sig is in The 'Shroom:Single/Issue XXV, which has cascading protection. Therefore, I can't edit my sig. On that 'Shroom issue, please remove my sig and replace it with –. Thanks!

Shroooom!
Thanks for signing up!! There is no rpoblem with you signing up yourself :P Next issue is out June 13th, you will recieve the shroomwarning the next week. -- 11:51, 25 May 2010 (EDT)
 * Ok, thanks!! -- 13:49, 25 May 2010 (EDT)

Cascading
Thanks. Also, thanks for joining The 'Shroom, you wouldn't believe how understaffed we are.

Remove my nomination.
I nominated the article Magnus von Grapple to be an FA. I made a mistake. I realise the nomination is stupid so can you please get rid of it.

Messed up sigs
Hey, Bloc Partier! Since you can edit other people's userspace, can you please fix this sig? Its causing all the text after it to be highlighted in purple.

Re:Shroom
It's OK, don't worry :) -- 02:17, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Might not stay here
I know you think I'm doing a good job, but a certain admin on here doesn't. Lately he's reverted all my edits (and he seems to be following me, looking for every edit I did and reverting it if he doesn't think it fits the style) and has given me a warning for adding fan speculation. I think it's only a matter of time before he bans me. But if he does, I'll create a wiki on the mainstream games (similar to how there is one on the Mario & Luigi games), so if you ever find yourself missing my work, you can check there. Besides, I'll miss you because it's rare to find someone who thinks I do a good job editing wikis. I'll try to make its articles as good here, though I daresay that'd be difficult, as the only improvements to be made are accepting trivial trivia and fan speculation (stated as such of course).

I will stay here for as long as I can, but when I get banned from this wiki, well, I can do no more edits here can't I? Ghostkaiba297 04:35, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete an image
I've recently uploaded an image but was much smaller than it should have been. I've tried to re-upload a few times but it's just not working out the way I want it. Can you please delete it. I've put it on this section so you know what I mean.

After posting this I checked and the image was fixed up. My apoligies.

Duplicate image problem
I noticed a duplicate version of an image I'd prieviously uploaded. Can you please get rid of the duplicate image. The duplicate's on the left and my original's on the right.

Gobble gut article
Hey Bloc Partier, I saw that the article gobble gut has a talk page like users have. just wanted to tell a sysop becuase I don't know how to get rid of that stuff.

Hey congratulations!
Wow, you got promoted to SYSOP! A million congratulations! I know this is late, but I've been very unactive for a long time... Wow, I remember when you were still called InfectedShroom, and you made Kirby hat things:) good times man, good times. 21:08, 26 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll chat with you on the forums. I haven't went on it yet, but I will, I will. You still remember me? Yeah, its been a REALLY long time.

Thank you! That means alot to me! :DYeah, things sure have changed since 2008. So many new faces, friends turning into sysops. Wow, its really awesome! I hope you have fun being sysop! {{User:Booderdash/sig|.}

Ps, how many edits did you make before you turned sysop? And do you have a youtube account?

Friends?
Would you like to be friends?

Genomination
Hey, can you please delete the Unfeature nomination for Geno? I (the nominator) think the article is fine now. The page doesn't need to wait any longer.

23:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Lol, I was about to tell you that you should do that same thing :P

Delete the images
I need you to delete the following images on my userpage:

Hey!
I am going to make a talk page proposal to merge Cheep-Cheep School. Can you help me out and delete it if it passes. Please respond.

Sorry I was unclear about that. I wanted to merge it with Cheep-Cheep and I wanted you to delete the unessesary page of Cheep-Cheep School.

Ok then!
Looks to me like the proposal passed! You are free to delete Cheep-Cheep School. I took care of everything else.

...I just realized my old message is right up there. But I'll still leave this one! Thanks a lot:)

Change user name
I need to have my user name changed because it reveals part of an email account I have (this didn't use to be a big deal, but now I use this address for business purposes). I have absolutely no idea how to do this so I hoped you could help. My preferred user name is isc9921 (I use this on Bulbpedia, Animal Crossing Wiki, and DK wiki). Thank You.
