Coins
Do you have a moment to talk about the coin standardization proposal? 22:02, 26 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Bah, it's just as mundane as deciding on a set spelling for minigame or deciding whether species templates should be pluralized or singularized. Also, the proposal isn't calling for every instance of the word "coin" to be either capitalized or not; when we're talking about the bog-standard golden Coins, do they take a lowercase letter or an uppercase letter at the start. 23:24, 26 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Pardon, but your vote is still there, at least on my end. My proposal is dealing with the standard "Yellow Coin", which is simply called a "Coin"/"coin" in most games. I am not dealing with literally every instance of the word "coin", only the instances involving the Yellow Coins. I'm personally vouching for the uppercase Coin because that makes it clear we're talking about the unique, important Coins. 23:48, 26 August 2017 (EDT)

IP address/account problem
I started a new account because I couldn't remember the password for the last one. Now that I've remembered, how can I delete my new one?

FREEDOM!
I'M BACK! Did you miss me? Anyway, what happened while I was gone? I just beat New Super Mario Bros. TWICE over the weekend, and now I'm a pro at it! YES! 15:58, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Not much happened over the weekend. Did you find all the secret cannons? The alternate routes? The Star Coins? Were you playing as Luigi? 16:02, 27 August 2017 (EDT)

All of the above! In fact, I 100-percented the game and got three stars on my file. 16:08, 27 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Hey, good job! 16:12, 27 August 2017 (EDT)

Re: B Dasher
Because it's the main kart of the game. I don't know, I DO think we should say that at some point for all of the karts and characters. Mario Kart DS was my first video game and Mario game ever, so I know it like the back of my hand. 20:50, 28 August 2017 (EDT)

Princess Shroob edit
Aw, DANG it! I thought that was gonna work for sure. You got any ideas, bro? 22:23, 28 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Best to just leave it. The parameters of the quote template aren't working in your favor. 22:25, 28 August 2017 (EDT)

Re: Subjective Content
OK, I understand. Sorry if I went a little too far with that. 22:59, 29 August 2017 (EDT)

Peach/Daisy Appearances for Mario Party 4 (Clarification)
Yeah, Alex95 - nothing against you, of course, but what I (and others) are trying to get at is regarding that piece of trivia regarding Peach's/Daisy's current main dress/appearance debut on the Mario Party 4 article - we're just saying that the said installment was when the said designs made their debut and nothing more. I do agree that all technical details (describing said dresses/designs) regarding this are to be mentioned on the character articles themselves (which I believe has already been done). I hope you're able to understand; thanks so much in advance. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 11:41, 30 August 2017 (EDT)
 * So you also made sure that it still was mentioned on said respective character articles that Mario Party 4 was the installment where Peach/Daisy had their "current main dress/design" debuts and that Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour was the installment where their current general athletic outfits started to make their debut? I made sure of this too on the technical side because it was still important to mention on said character articles there (and because I usually focus on contents involving the Mario girls in general). --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 12:01, 30 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I was also checking those sections too, but I've been busy with other matters outside of here; hope to get those parts as well verified when I get back. I still do believe that it was still worth mentioning there (the "details", of course) for the respective Peach/Daisy character articles. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 14:20, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Waluigi edit
That's the point. That's the CLOSEST he has ever come to appearing in a mainstream Mario game. And how are TTYD and Kingdom Battle NOT mainstream games? Please explain. 01:23, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
 * They're spin-off games. Mainstream games are those like Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario Sunshine. In PM2 and M+R, Waluigi is referenced, he doesn't make an appearence. 02:00, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Re: Sponsors
Sorry, is there not another way around the sponsors pages? You see, if we add up all of the sponsors from all of the games, which were due to get pages eventually, the number is over one hundred, with over sixty of those from Mario Kart 8 alone. Getting it all into one page would be incredibly difficult, and the page would be huge. Regarding the speculation though, it is only what we think the company is doing and who runs it, as it is not a fact explicitly confirmed in the game. For example, the Peach & Daisy Royal Patisserie most likely is a patisserie run by Peach and Daisy, but for all we know it is really an item shop run by Dry Bones, so that's why I've been using presumably and the like in the pages. Also what do you mean by the validity thing? BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:12, 31 August 2017 (EDT)


 * Right, sorry, to be so slow to come back but I think I know what to do now about the Mario Kart sponsors. I think a split by game is best, but we may have to double split Mario Kart 8, as there are over sixty in that game alone. I think the best way to order it is alphabetically, as there is no specific in game order. When it comes to the sections themselves, I think I will probably nick the top paragraph from the current articles, with logo descriptions and what's on it, special references and whatever, create a table system for where and how they appear and include a mini gallery with variants for each sponsor, and whack all other pictures at the bottom in a large gallery, and just list the sponsor names that can be seen in the picture underneath. How does that sound?


 * Regarding the speculative stuff, I think it may be worth leaving it, as it isn't much. If I pick at random, say, Dream Gliders, the speculative sentence is:
 * "Presumably, the company produces the Gliders that the racers use after driving off a Glider Ramp."
 * All of them follow much the same pattern, so I don't see the harm in leaving them. In any case it is never more than a sentence, and if I find one that's more, I'll trim it. I'm not going on about some random malarkey in it.


 * Oh and just a quick thing- I think Nintendo must've put some thought into them, just look at the reference on Shy Guy Metals. And it wasn't like they barely paid attention, you have to admit, they did appear at the end of the credits, in team selection, loading screens, and in the Sunshine Airport announcements. And if we add all the sponsor over the years together, they've appeared in eight games to date, and in one upcoming one. Also that Kansai airport collaboration thing. So some thought must have gone into it.;P BBQ Turtle (talk) 15:43, 1 September 2017 (EDT)


 * Thank you, I'll probably stick with the current plan, and then other people can chop and change as they like afterwards. I think that's probably the best way to work. But can you leave the pages until I've got the information from them before getting rid? And I'll warn you now, it'll be a few months before completion, as I go back to school on Wednesday, so editing'll be a weekends, holidays, no homework and trying to avoid homework job. :P BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:06, 1 September 2017 (EDT)


 * Thank you! :D BBQ Turtle (talk) 16:10, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

He's back
I am back Alex 95, and I am ready to control myself. I left a message on my message wall for you. The title is Standard Karts in Mario Kart DS. Be sure to check it out.

Uploading trouble
Ugh, I hate uploading images. They're not that hard, but the images I get can't be used for various reasons, and filling in the information is just a piece of trouble. That's why you don't see me uploading any images to the wiki. I nearly got a virus on my computer for trying a couple of times. Oh...boy, that was NOT fun at all, I will tell you. Anyway, how you doing, bro? 20:40, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
 * A virus? Perhaps you may want to check where you're pulling your images from. Keep trying, though, practice makes perfect.
 * I'm doing fine. Working on some projects and stuff. 20:42, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Oh, just for kicks, you want to hear this music. It's freaking awesome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf3bQpaRaFg 20:44, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
 * SM64 music is best music :) 20:47, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Also, Bullet Bill's name is Killer in Japan. Does that remind you of the killer whale? It does for me. Both are powerful and deadly, and you don't mess with them. 20:57, 31 August 2017 (EDT)
 * ...I guess? 20:58, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Anyway, my birthday is coming up. It's on September 4, and I turn 15. In fact, I was born the exact same day the Oakland Athletics won their 20th straight game on Scott Hatteberg's walk-off home run and set an American League record for the longest win streak. I hold a personal connection to Moneyball for that very reason. 21:03, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Dude! Why you entering in an edit war, buddy? You're a patroller! You should know better! You know what, you MIGHT be hurt badly by that one. :) OK, just kidding. I was just trying to give you a hard time there. But still, doesn't it make sense? I mean, Wario is an anti-hero, so he obviously would be using the ground pound infamously. And the ground pound is more than a butt-stomp, it's a hard-hitting pound and one of the most iconic elements of the Mario franchise.

I know I'm on a last warning. I'm not dumb enough to forget that. I was just joking, you know. I know you wouldn't try to foolishly enter an edit war like that. And don't worry, my wits are indeed about me. I'm doing just fine. But I can't help but give people like you a little nudge here and there to keep the wiki alive and relaxed. But don't worry, I know to keep my wits about me and not let my guard down. 23:22, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Personal Sandbox
Hello. I see other people with their personal sandboxes, and I think in creating my own, but I'm worried if it breaks the rules or something. Can I do that? 19:08, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Yep. just answered you :)  19:09, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

Yeah, he logged out so I asked you. Thank you anyway :) 19:22, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

Blocked users
Well, I tried. But hey, you need to listen to this music, man. It's AWESOME! (I know, you don't have to tell me. I get it, I do this all the time, but still, video-game music is just too awesome to pass up.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCZIBcpOlMc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWJvSXAlTas 21:58, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

That's SWEET! (Ah, the days of childhood. I wish I could go back, even though I'm only 14. I know, life can suck that badly at times. It's part of why I love to act like a kid--it's because deep down, I AM a kid at heart in a growing man's body.) 22:05, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

Names in other languages
How do I add languages to the box? Thanks :P 22:21, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

New Super Mario Bros 2
By the way, I forgot to tell you after I got home from the trip, I GOT NEW SUPER MARIO BROS 2! 22:37, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Nice! 22:47, 1 September 2017 (EDT)

And how about this music? You really need to listen to these two!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuJJaDrtAmY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uduv2mfC09k 23:05, 1 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes, there's a lot of good music out there. No need to link me to every single one. 00:05, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

MK8
May I ask what bobbing their heads actually entails? 18:16, 2 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I wouldn't consider that enough to split them. We haven't split the enemies from the NSMB games just for dancing or hopping to the beat of the music. Do keep me posted if you find anything else of note, though. 18:22, 2 September 2017 (EDT)

Tertiary
That actually is a valid word, it means "third from", ie after secondary. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:25, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Well, I knew it was a word, but yeah :P 22:29, 3 September 2017 (EDT)

Suddenly September!!
00:08, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

Angry Flare
Pretty sure that Fire Bros in that game make the angry eyes while attacking. So they're both "official."Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:30, 6 September 2017 (EDT)

Collaboration project?
Hi, I know you're currently creating articles for Super Mario Bros. levels, but is it possible for us to work on the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle levels together? I mean, we did do well in collaborating on creating the Super Mario Galaxy 2 missions, and besides, the level layout in Mario + Rabbids is pretty overwhelming in and of itself, so I want to see how YOU would do it! (Two is better than one in this case!) Additionally, my plan is to do the levels of the even worlds, while you would do the levels of the odd worlds. What do you say? 00:05, 7 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Ah, but have you considered watching gameplay videos (such as "let's plays")? It's what I've been using to create level articles in the past. In fact, I find it slightly more advantageous because you can actually allow the level design to sink in, like when it helped me create level articles such as My First Course, which I just could not beat. I'm still not trying to force you or anything, but it's just something to keep in mind. :) 00:34, 7 September 2017 (EDT)

Signatures
Hello. I want to create another signature, specially for Halloween, but, can I create a new page with it or I need to change the current signature's page? Thanks for answering. 21:24, 11 September 2017 (EDT)

Kinda
Kinda is certainly a word. It's listed in the Cambridge Dictionary, the Oxford Dictionary, dictionary.com, and even Wiktionary. It's informal, sure, and not usable for the wiki's register, but it's a perfectly cromulent word, in the same way that "alright" is an accepted variant of "all right". Sorry about the mini-rant, my hobby linguist knowledge kicks in when people talk about informal words not being words. 22:00, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I'm kind of a grammar police myself :P I use it a lot, actually. I know it's a word, but not one the wiki prefers. I've seen it mostly as slang, though, or what I call a "lazy word". I regard "alright" in the same way, really. Acceptable, but not preferred. 22:06, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * "Acceptable" depends on the context of the situation. You wouldn't speak using cold, formal, and unfamiliar language to your close family, for example, just as you wouldn't use highly casual and informal language when meeting the president/prime minister/royal ruler of your country. I agree that "kinda" shouldn't be used for the wiki, but I disagree that there are words that are not preferred in all situations. 22:10, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Well, yeah, totally. I definitely don't use swear words, for example, as my family and I deem those unacceptable. I suppose I said "acceptable" in a broader sense than I intended. By "acceptable", I meant acceptable on the wiki. 22:12, 11 September 2017 (EDT)

Goomba
Wouldn't "Goomba (film species)" be more appropriate, considering the article isn't covering a particular character? 12:31, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Probably. I was going for consistency with the other "film character" articles, but I guess "species" makes more sense. 12:34, 14 September 2017 (EDT)
