Jellyfish artwork
Given the artwork it's of comparable quality to, I'd say it's more likely that's SMG2 artwork. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:40, April 23, 2019 (EDT)

Iga
"Iga" sometimes seems to mean "spike," such as here, here, and here. However, it doesn't really make sense in the context of the DKJB enemies, as they're pretty basic floating things. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:46, April 29, 2019 (EDT)

Yoshi's Safari levels
Would you mind providing the page of whatever manual you're reading with the names of the levels, please? The rest of the levels aren't named in-game either. 01:31, May 1, 2019 (EDT)

Second Mysterious Creature
Where exactly did you get this name? 06:28, May 2, 2019 (EDT)

Can you link me this video? 06:42, May 2, 2019 (EDT)

Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia
Right here son. I've been finishing up taking the artwork from it, so please avoid sniping that from me. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:57, May 5, 2019 (EDT)

Moving pages
This is not how you move an article, as the edit history doesn't carry over. If you couldn't move it, mark the old name redirect for deletion; you don't copy and paste the content over to the new name. 07:39, May 6, 2019 (EDT)


 * If the page can't be moved (because edits were made on that page), yes; that's how it works. 08:44, May 6, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Mega Rabbit
Pretty sure that this is the name in the Prima guide (as I think I added it myself). 09:02, May 7, 2019 (EDT)
 * For the Bell Tree, I'd say it's better to wait until Super Mario Maker 2 releases. 10:26, May 9, 2019 (EDT)

SMH
"SMH" means "shaking my head." He was making a joke about how poorly it was handled. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:42, May 15, 2019 (EDT)

Redirect undeletion
What's wrong with just creating them from scratch? 04:24, May 17, 2019 (EDT)

Chain Ball
Can you source this name on the page if it's official (assuming you meant to redirect to Cog (Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins))? 07:05, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

Edit sniping
Toadette didn't edit snipe you, since there's no way to know who's going to report a user, unless you announced you were going to do it in another edit (but in that case you might as well just make the report). -- 13:38, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Also, editing another user's comment on the admin noticeboard is still against the rules unless it is adding another report or fixing code, and editing the comment just makes the admin's job harder when they try to undo the edit after the user is blocked. Thanks for your understanding. 13:40, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * By definition the reports are comments towards the admins to notify them, and editing comments, with exceptions, are explicitly against the rules. Even then, editing a report is often unneeded and adds an extra step for the admins when blocking. 13:49, May 25, 2019 (EDT)

Again, this isn't edit sniping. Edit sniping is when someone starts knowingly doing a project that someone else is already working on. Making the same edit as another user that anyone can attempt to edit isn't edit sniping. 12:38, June 3, 2019 (EDT)

re:Bull's-Eye Bill
After looking at that discussion, I have no idea why you told me I "need to give [my opinion]" when


 * I didn't contribute to the discussion or any previous discussion about Bullet Bill's
 * The disagreement is hardly urgent and whatever decision is taken is unlikely to influence how the wiki does things to any notable degree
 * Nobody had questioned policies related to the discussion and nobody asked for an admin's take
 * Multiple admins had already commented on the question.

TTA calling me on that Nipper Dandelion thing made sense, because I was vocal and visible in the whole Super Mario Encyclopedia fiasco that was being questioned in that argument. No such thing here. To be honest, I wouldn't have bothered to type this hadn't it been for the flippant way you asked. --Glowsquid (talk) 16:24, May 26, 2019 (EDT)

I still can't edit the articles and I ask you if you can add this info
Well, I don't know why, I still can't edit wikis, so I ask to you if you can add this glitch to the list of glitches of SMB 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frd3qUQBISA. Could you also add the video, like a proof/demonstration? Apart of this, you said some months ago that I had to wait some days, but I don't know why I am not allowed to edit articles. Thank you for reading and if you add the info!--Hagun (talk) 20:47, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

Hi! Now I can edit pages, but the SMB3 glitches's article is protected. Can I send you the content and you add it?--Hagun (talk) 20:47, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

Re: A quick question
I forgot about it. I'll ask for a better picture of that Porcu-puffer art ASAP, if you want anything else from it, feel free to ask after. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 16:01, June 3, 2019 (EDT)

Cool
I see your a fan of Yoshi i,m a big fan of Yoshi to.

Issue
I can't use my Lord Falafel account with my phone. It says the name is already being used by someone else. Well, I'm that someone. Lord Falafel 2 (talk) 14:38, June 7, 2019 (EDT)

Undo revisions
Next time, for something like this, you should use the radio buttons (between the "(cur | prev)" and the dates) and select "Compare selected revisions", or click the "cur" button next to the first revision before the first vandal edit, to check if it's all been removed.

Also, don't make pointless edits and then revert them back just to leave a summary. 09:37, June 8, 2019 (EDT)

Not making conjectural articles
About this edit; what if we never find official material for their name? I think we should have a deadline of about a year or a few months before creating the articles. If their official names are later found, we can just move them. Obsessive Mario Fan (talk) 11:10, June 9, 2019 (EDT)

What OMF said in that last sentence. There's absolutely no rule against creating articles for coverage-worthy subjects with conjectural titles, so I don't know where you're getting this from. Your sentence "regarding the Ukirillas" also makes no sense. 00:10, June 12, 2019 (EDT)

Notice
I can see we have the same signature picture 06:06, June 15, 2019 (EDT)

Spiked Fun Guy
I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying that's just a name you're giving it? If that's the case, why give it a name that's already shared by two other enemies? It just makes things confusing. 06:23, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

Assistance
Can you help me with something? If so, reply to me on my talk page. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:36, June 25, 2019 (EDT)

Tell me if I did something wrong. Please. Lord Falafel (talk) 17:10, June 26, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Image quality request
I will get to that once I get Bowser's Inside Story working on my DS emulator (it always seems to freeze at the Bowser tutorial fight). 11:50, July 2, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Donguri
Here. 16:02, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

RE:Contractions proposal
Good question... I suppose not. The point of the proposal was to place contractions in the same category of unprofessional documentation as addressing to the reader in second person and such. But the templates already do that ("therefore, please excuse the informal [...]"); they are meant to sound more familiar to reader, so I guess templates are in a separate sphere from the mainspace content and can have contractions. But this is just my view. 19:47, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

Super Mario-kun
If it's a course in super Mario maker, it's not from the original manga. It was always referred to as super Mario-kun. That article shall not be renamed that. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:19, July 5, 2019 (EDT)

Your signature
Hello there, I'm wondering if you can change the yellow text on your signature. The wiki's pages are typically white and light-colored so the yellow contrasts really badly on the white. Could you perhaps make the yellow a little bit darker? This also applies to your Halloween signature as well. 17:46, July 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Seconded. I don't see any changes and I'm getting tired of seeing the poor contrast on your username. I think the cyan needs to be darker too IMO. 00:13, July 12, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Bull's-Eye Bill's Bill Blaster
While the editor doesn't name it in text, the in-game voice calls it "Bull's-Eye Blaster" when placed. The ON/OFF Conveyor Belts don't have a spoken or written name. 01:10, July 7, 2019 (EDT)

Image
Hi. Can you help me put an imgur image on the wiki, please? It's the title screen for the tv show called super Mario club. Here's the link to the page. https://m.imgur.com/yJEal80?r Lord Falafel (talk) 15:31, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

'lo.
How's it going. -- 18:19, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

SM3DW icon
Can you elaborate? Open both images up and zoom in all the way. They are the same image, except that the jpg version is noticeably blurry and artifacted. The PNG is a direct lossless gamerip, while the JPG is appears to be a cropped screenshot or web image. -- 14:28, July 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * It's against policy to convert lossy formats (like JPG) to lossless formats (like PNG); however, it is acceptable, and often required to convert other lossless formats (like those found within game data, such as BMP) to PNG, which is what appears to be the case here. -- 14:33, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Blue Toad proposal
Yes, I'll take care of it right now. -- 14:24, July 16, 2019 (EDT)

List
Explain the redirects, then. And the names. Some names aren't correct. Some are foreign, some are alternate names, some games have redirects, Mario's playschool doesn't exist and some platforms don't have links. We shouldn't steal from Wikipedia. Lord Falafel (talk) 18:29, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

SM64 Guide image
Do you remember what this image was supposed to be used for? 21:28, July 19, 2019 (EDT)

Speculation
The T-Rex edit is actually true, though I dunno if it belongs in Trivia. 09:53, July 20, 2019 (EDT)

Misspelling
I was referring to RickTommy's edit before you reverted it first, not yours. 21:18, July 24, 2019 (EDT)

RE: A quick question
I've never heard of these. Though I don't see why they wouldn't be; the first is from a brand called "Telemagazine" which is owned by Kodansha, the second has the Nintendo logo on the front. 21:13, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

Recent SM64-based edits
Firstly, no, Amps did not have white lips in SM64; they had no lips at all. Even a cursory glance can tell that. Secondly, that Pokey image was among the worst "screenshots" I've ever seen on this site. Super Mario 64 has plenty of high-quality videos associated with it, so why on Earth you would pick one with a "let's play" webcam box with the player's feet in it is absolutely beyond me. Additionally, why would you plop that right at the end of the gallery? You've been around long enough to know that they go chronologically, and pretty sure you know that a generic title like "Pokey encountering" is a bad file name. Seriously, have you been getting enough sleep? I've come to expect a lot better of you. I'm a tad worried, is all. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:52, August 2, 2019 (EDT)


 * This strikes me as excessively impolite and unwarranted for multiple reasons, especially considering you were blatantly wrong about the Amps' appearance and then go on to insinuate that FOY must be sleep-deprived. -- 08:41, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
 * It doesn't really look like lips to me, but I digress. I was trying to not be impolite, as I was honestly worried. The "feet" thing baffles me to no end, and was the reason for my saying that, because that's obviously among the worst YT sources that image could have come from. Anyways, emulators are gnerally the best place to get screenshots, actually, provided there aren't inaccurate filterings (and the game isn't Yoshi's Story; they screw that one the heck up.) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:31, August 3, 2019 (EDT)


 * Even so, you could have tried to word your post differently. And @FanOfYoshi re. your most recent post on my talk page, do try to have some common sense when uploading such images in the future; if there's webcam footage or custom capture decorations like the red/green bars on the Snifaro image, the best idea would be to crop them out. Your summaries even claimed you "cropped extraneous details".  02:22, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

Rortress
It didn't deserve a reminder. Please don't jump in after I had already gone ahead with the deletion. 08:12, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Also, do you think you could crop out the borders and filler designs for the video screenshots you're uploading? 08:26, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Friend request
Thanks! Feel free to add my userbox, too. Code:  15:54, August 4, 2019 (EDT)

Reverting edits
You reverted an edit seemingly only to ask if there was any point where the Buckies were seen apart here. There are a lot of other ways to ask a simple question like that other than pointlessly reverting edits. Thanks. 12:30, August 14, 2019 (EDT)

This revision
LinkTheLefty was talking about internal file names, which were used before as proof. Plus he obviously used it in a serious and not ill-intended matter, and it would be his first time doing something for a joke if it was a joke, so even if he was in the wrong the harshness you used was too harsh for an extremely minor first-time thing. 15:58, August 30, 2019 (EDT)

Bon-Bom Box
Actually, I thought of suggesting Bon-Bom Box to be created earlier, but wasn't sure. Do you think it should be? 15:06, September 4, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think it should also be noted that in the level Dino Smash, Bon-Boms appear without their boxes. 15:08, September 12, 2019 (EDT)

Regarding the Yoshi's Story snake TPP
Hello. If you're seeing this, I've updated the proposal with another option and tried to neaten/clarify things a bit more, and I'm sending you and other voters this message in order to inform you of the changes, as courtesy dictates (and especially if you might want to change your vote). Thank you and good day. -- 00:04, September 10, 2019 (EDT)

RE: Bombite
If you don't know how, undo the edit. 10:10, October 1, 2019 (EDT)

This revision
"Vandalism" is too strong a word. A cursory glance at the actual revision they reverted to shows that it was April Fools' 2018, and they also added votes of their own. It's likely that they wanted to vote on it while forgetting that it was an older revision, resetting the proposals page to April 1, 2018. 12:30, October 13, 2019 (EDT)


 * Late but heavily seconded. Please avoid presuming bad faith where there isn't concrete evidence of it if you can. -- 08:51, October 23, 2019 (EDT)

Indentation
When replying to an indent restart, you don't need to indent it to the conversation above. Indenting it in such a way that it's like this:
 * opinion
 * response
 * snarky response

brand new info / revival of the topic
 * opinion

makes it look like the indent restart was just jammed into the middle of the discussion haphazardly. Just indent normally in such cases. 14:50, December 29, 2019 (EST)

My new proposal
I have made a chance to re-merge the articles. I hated the fact that everyone else thinks the Bad Luck Space is "not the same as the Unlucky Space". I think they should Open their flipping eyes, and realize that the Lucky Space is doing the same thing, except it is triggering good events.--Partier (talk) 23:51, February 10, 2020 (EST)

I'm actually surprised you picked what I didn't want to happen. Because, you voted to not to split it before. Now you are supporting the split? Now I'm getting really MAD!!! I was the one who marked The Bad Luck Space as the Unlucky Space in the first place. Now that Toadette the Achiever split the article, I got angry. All my hard work, ruined like an abandoned temple. --Partier (talk) 17:24, February 11, 2020 (EST)


 * Please leave this User alone. Your flagrant attitude is absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. Sometimes, you need to be able to admit that what your intentions or desires may be are not what the community stands in and that it is not the way we may perform a task. I know what it's like to have one sided proposals not in your favor and it doesn't feel good, but taking it out on other people is NOT the solution. Trig - 17:41, February 11, 2020 (EST)

Friends?
Do you want to exchange userboxes? 18:04, July 29, 2020 (EDT)

Roulette Block
I think it's a pretty safe assumption that both just coincidentally happen to be yellow to better connect with ? Blocks. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:44, January 8, 2021 (EST)

Pattan
I moved File:Whimp.png to File:Pattan.png, just letting you know since your page has File:Whimp.png in it and i don't think i'm allowed to edit other userpages. Somethingone (talk) 13:10, December 3, 2021 (EST)

RE: I.P.
That's exactly it. 11:43, June 28, 2023 (EDT)

Merge templates
Per this proposal, when you put merge or split templates on a page there has to be an active discussion or proposal in the talk page. 03:49, July 3, 2023 (EDT)

Re: Plastiware
He admitted to being a registered sex offender.

04:34, August 6, 2023 (EDT)
 * Oh my god. Thanks for letting me know. -- 04:37, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

Vandal engagement
When reverting vandal edits, please don't leave a summary aimed at them. Just revert without saying anything. 10:03, August 21, 2023 (EDT)

Your userpage
I have a problem with your userpage: it is impossible to access the talk page on mobile from your userpage. Your status box is interfering with access to the talk page. Can you please change that? 07:57, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * I tried to do this once, but couldn't quite get it right. I might have to ask Porple how to do it. -- 09:43, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * Good idea, I feel if you don't change it someone will give you a formal reminder :) 10:15, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * I've kinda figured out how you could do it. First, your status page should use  [text]  (replace [color] with a color, [another color] with another color, and [text] with text. Then, make everything else be moved lower by using empty lines. Hopefully this will help you :)  10:29, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * you overdid it. I think it needs to have a lower percentage. How about 10% or 15%? 10:33, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
 * top or width?-- 10:35, August 27, 2023 (EDT)
