User talk:Gabumon

Welcome on Edo's talk page. I'm glad that you somehow ended up here :3 It would be nice if you leave me a message. I'll be happy to read your stuff.

If you wrote me a message earlier and are now confused that it isn't there anymore, please visit my Archive.

Just a little rules so we can have a nice talk:


 * 1) If you leave a comment, I will reply here, so keeping track of the conversation won't be a pain in the rear.
 * 2) Be polite towards me and towards each other
 * 3) Try to type properly (I won't go grammar-nerd on you but please make it understandable)
 * 4) If you disagree with one of my decisions, please tell me here. Don't start any dubious actions like contacting every staff member except me. If you have a good reason to disagree, I will listen.
 * 5) I understand German, but it is likely that I will answer in English nevertheless
 * 6) No flaming, unless you have a Fire Flower! Flames will be removed without comment.

Application for the Fake News
Hello Edo. I am and I was hoping that I could get a job in the Fake News. I would be happy to do the Fake Sports or Fake Games positions. I have a bunch of ideas by the way for DS and Wii fake games. Hope to hear from you soon. Have a nice day.

What's up?
Want to be friends?
 * Alright. - 09:55, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Regarding my ban on Userpedia
Is there any reason I was? The only sockpuppet I had on Userpedia was him and I haven't even done anything with him since the day I created him. (Yes, I do know I just admitted to having a sockpuppet) 16:28, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * We have strong reasons to believe that the two troll accounts Supa Poopen Hyden Man and Lord Voldemort are also owned by you. However, that is not all. When I re-joined the administration in September, there was already an administrative decision for your ban pending. The recent events only happened to recall that decision. Since I wasn't in the team during the period, I can only give you accurate information about the sockpuppeting. To learn about the reasons for that earlier decision you will have to contact someone who was present at that time. - 17:43, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you tell me anyone who was present at that time? 17:55, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

Monster Truck needed?
As you may or may not know, there is a Donkey Kong monster truck that competes on the major Monster Jam circuit in real life. Do you think we need an article about that? If we do, I'll happily write it. I'm a big monster truck fan and I know where to find the info. What do you think? 21:31, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
 * That's certainly an interesting piece of information. I'll forward your question to the rest of the staff. - 01:15, 17 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok, I pondered a while over it, and I think we could use that information. I faintly remember having seen information about something similar somewhere around the wiki, but unfortunately I couldn't locate it yet. That's why I don't know whether it should have its own article or be incorporated in something else. For now I think it would be best if you could create this article just like you planned. If anything should happen that makes the article better off incorporated somewhere else (whatever that may be), it can still be merged afterwards, so there should be no problem.


 * Oh, I also heard someone suggesting to have a little reference blurb somewhere on the Donkey Kong article. - 15:55, 17 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'm on it. I'll do my best to make it as good as possible. 18:26, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the article a few days ago. Please check it out! 20:12, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Kirby Art 2
Hello, do you remember the Advent calender for Kirbytraum? Did you already find the time to draw something? I got only one submission so far, and obviously there won't be enough material for a "full" calender. But I'd be happy to be able to showcase at least a few works in December, thanks! :-) --Grandy02 20:58, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah right, thanks for the reminder. I'll see if I can whip something up in the next days. - 22:00, 22 November 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. Thanks for the effort. Maybe I'll also draw something - if both you and vellidragon send in art as well, I would have one work for every Advent. ^_^ --Grandy02 12:43, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Good news: Someone else sent me a picture. So I'd need the work of you and/or vellidragon by 12th December (3rd Advent). --Grandy02 20:00, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I've just sent my first contribution to the address on your site. Right now I am working on two more. - 00:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow, awesome work, thank you very much! :-D --Grandy02 19:29, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for answering late, I also received your second artwork, thanks a lot again! If you should send a third picture, please add the name of it as well as of the previous two images, I'd need those. --Grandy02 10:19, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, your first art will be the next one in the calender, but I still don't know its name. Could you just write it on your talk page here, please? It doesn't matter, it's not state secret. ;-) Otherwise, I'll have to name it myself... --Grandy02 18:57, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't really have a specific name in mind... How about something silly, like "If You Whoosh Upon a Star"? I really can't think of anything more witty right now. - 06:42, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Fine, but what would that be in German (unless you want it to be in English)? ^^ --Grandy02 10:03, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's translatable without destroying the lame pun. - 10:12, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, I changed the name. --Grandy02 11:02, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi again! I'm not sure if vellidragon will send her art until Sunday, so please already tell me the name of your second picture since I might showcase it for the fourth Advent. --Grandy02 21:29, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Gladly, I received vellidragon's art in time. However, I still need the name of your second picture, since it will appear tomorrow. Just write it on this page, please. --Grandy02 15:46, 23 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Let's just call it "Oh Waddle Tree, Oh Waddle Tree", for the lack of a better name. - 12:12, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. --Grandy02 16:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again for your effort. I'd appreciate if you participated next year as well. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ^_^ --Grandy02 16:22, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Help!THeres a glitch on UP and now all my text is blue!T_T--User:UltraMario3000
 * Userpedia has a new URL and can now be found here. The blue text might be related to the new skin. We're still experimenting with that. - 23:36, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Your Fake Games section
Hey Edofenrir! I absolutely loved your Fake Games section on the recent November edition of the 'Shroom. It was hilarious! I'm trying to think of something to do for the 'Shroom myself; something completely original that nobody has done yet. I was going to do a travel guide, but that's taken. I could maybe do interviews with random people from the Marioverse, enemy or ally, to get their feelings about their rank, role, etc. in the games. What do you think? I think that the interviews would be kind of fun. BTW I'm Peachygirl 101.
 * Thanks. I think there is already someone to write such interviews though: A user called Baby Mario Bloops. His section is called "Fake Interview". Maybe you could talk to Ralphfan or Tucayo about co-writing for that section. I remember I did this with Fake Weather for one issue. - 22:04, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Question
Can you have a look at Talk:Bowser's Galaxy Reactor please? 13:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC) PS: And, uh, you might want to fix your sig. You kinda put some new lines in the (Talk)...your sig is glitched 0_0...
 * My sig is only glitched on this page since somehow the line breaks when the location and destination of the "talk" link are identical. What is the issue with the page you linked? - 13:37, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * I think he wants your opinion on the matter. 13:39, 11 December 2010 (UTC)
 * That's odd, then. I have a question on the talkpage. I want confirmation of what creates the black hole. The in-game cutscene (Youtube video link provided) shows it to be the planet Bowser lands on, but the article states that it is the giant Sun. I'm fairly sure that the planet is the second one where Bowser fights Mario. 13:42, 11 December 2010 (UTC) MCD: Yeah, that too.

Look! It's That Annual Christmas Thing from BL!
Merry Christmas, Edo! Another year of editing has passed, and to commemorate this year of wikiness, I give you two things. First, an image of you, me, and all of my other wiki friends at the annual MarioWiki Christmas Party. Also, you get a gift! Check below to see what you get. It may be different than someone else's, so be sure to check out other talk pages to see what everyone else got as well. Have a great holiday season and a happy New Year's! ~ Bowser's luma talk

EST, not UTC
How do I make the ~ ~ ~ ~ thing that shows the time of a comment dispaly in EST instead of UTC? 15:24, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Oh nevermind, it probably doesn't mattereven if it is possible...


 * I'm sorry, I can't think of anything to make that possible. I'll try to ask someone else. - 21:22, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

Artificial header because there was none originally
Well I'm sorry I've mistakened that Redstar with the RS on Userpedia.--User:UltraMario3000

Fake Games
I'd like to be the new writer of "Fake Games" for the Fake News section of The 'Shroom. Please get back to me ASAP. - qrs22 18:45, 22 January 2011 (EST)

OK, I made an account. It's qrs22.

Aaaaaaaaaaand I replied. - qrs22 19:26, 22 January 2011 (EST)

Hey, can you hold off for just one hour before saying anything about me in the Shroom? I'm working on the article right now and I'm almost done. You can thank Minecraft for me procrastinating. That and writer's block. - qrs22 13:57, 16 April 2011 (EDT)

 * You kids get offa my lawn you rascal this is worse than the time when I was elected for Little Miss Pennymarket and the guy in charge forced me to walk from door to door handing out free shampoo samples in little plastic bags and sell combs and they dont make these combs like they used to do you stick them in your hair and they break and you have to go to the barber and oh my god Eduardo talks so much I don't know how one guy can be such a neverending waterfall of empty words I once saw a beautiful waterfall when I was in Canada but when I took a closer look at it it was just a cardboard cut-out like that one time Grandfather Lewis told me that the prom date who left me had a change of heart and returned so I went into the living room but then it was just cardboard he found that very funny but I cried for twelve days straight I also went to Cyprus once for twelve days but I didn't like it because it was so boring and...

My mom is a freak
She's constantly complaining about having too little money. (you already knew that)

Now she bought a Wii. (you should have seen that coming)

And she thinks Miis are cute. (are you barfing yet?)

^^ Kennymon 03:49, 8 February 2011 (EST)
 * Do you want to know the best part? Guess what: The Miis will be miigrating to the 3DS. If your mother is going to buy that one too, prepare for a nasty little miigraine.


 * Nintendo - Our sucksess is your miisery.- 16:11, 8 February 2011 (EST)


 * I lol'd hard :D


 * I've been earning a little money through programming lately, so if my mother eventually ends up not having enough time for playing anymore, I might kinda "inherit" it (she already alluded to this), and I guess I'd buy Super Paper Mario then ^^


 * By the way, is there any chance I could show you a tiny game I have been making recently? Kennymon 16:02, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * You will most likely be disappointed by Super Paper Mario. The factors that appealed to you in the other two games aren't present anymore. Also: Why me of all people? - 19:39, 12 February 2011 (EST)
 * Yeah, I know SPM is more of a Jump 'n Run and neglects its RPGish roots, and it's kind of sad, but I thought I might try and be a bit more open-minded and give it a go. But alas, my mom doesn't seem to be giving her Wii away too soon ^^ Oh, why you of all people, dunno, I hoped you might be able to tell me :3 Kennymon 17:10, 19 February 2011 (EST)
 * Oh, there's more than just that. But anyway, if you want to be open-minded, that's fine. Well, you are the one coming with a request, so you should be the one knowing the reason behind it. I cannot read minds, you know...  yet.   -  04:30, 22 February 2011 (EST)

Fake News
This is Luigi is OSAM. I was wondering if I could join the Fake News. I love that section and writing, I could be a great addition to your team. I understand if I can't. Luigi is OSAM
 * Hi. In order to write for the Fake News, you first need to have an account here. If you register an account there, send me a PM and I will tell you what you need to do to get a position in the Fake News team. - 04:23, 22 February 2011 (EST)

Dark Spin Merge
Hello, just dropping by to ask you to take a look at the dark spin page, it has a heading asking you to give input on whether the page should be merged with Bowser. I have been thinking about making a TPP for merging it, but I'm not sure what the criteria for merging are. I would really appreciate it if you would tell me if merging is a good idea or not. Thank you, Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 11:34, 24 February 2011 (EST)
 * What Knife says is true: Attacks that are not officially named shouldn't have their own articles, as it opens the possibility for articles about every whimsical movement of a character as long as someone makes up a fancy name for it. So I think a merge would be in order. I would say this on the talk page as well, but it would basically just be a repetition of what Knife already said. - 19:42, 24 February 2011 (EST)
 * Thanks again, I'll create the TPP soon. Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 20:45, 24 February 2011 (EST)
 * I created the proposal, if it passes, I would like to leave any links to it (if they exist) as a redirect to the section of Bowser we move it to. Geekiness is an end, not a means - Bop1996 21:12, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Reply

 * My apologies sir. Can I help delete them?
 * OK, I just thought it would be better if I helped too.

Hi

 * Can I sign up for The 'Shroom in position #2 the Fake News section? Thanks sir.
 * Erm... sir I want to sign up for the Fake News section of The 'Shroom sir. Thanks.
 * I already sent you the application form about two and a half weeks ago. You never answered. - 11:33, 25 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Because it was on the forums and I didn't see it.
 * Since you had an account there and I saw you post occasionally, I assumed you were active there. Most Shroom-related business is handled via PMs at the forums. - 11:48, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

Sirena Beach quote
Hey, um, I hope this doesn't sound rude, but you know that's already in that article right?

01:29, 11 March 2011 (EST)
 * My bad. I didn't see it there. I removed the quote again. - 17:56, 11 March 2011 (EST)


 * Yeah, just thought I should let you know... :)

18:03, 11 March 2011 (EST)

Question
Why do you delete other peoples' userpages and talk pages if they are blocked? It doesn't make sense and IDK why, but I kinda like restoring unreasonable pages that were deleted. Sorry...
 * I delete them because with the ban of the respective user, these pages become useless. Banned users don't need to be showcased on our database. It serves no purpose other than pointless distraction. - 17:47, 12 March 2011 (EST)

Adminship reply
Wait what? Yes you are right about the sysop thing, but the thing is I really want those powers, but I just couldn't help but sneak away and ask in a sneaky way. You're right I should wait. SOme are you saying it is ok to want sysop powers?
 * I'm going to try answering your question in sufficient detail. What you need to do, though, is listen, and listen thoroughly. You actually have been given your answers multiple times by now, but for whatever reason, you chose to ignore the essential. Thinking back, Porplemontage nailed the point pretty decent here. Becoming a sysop is nothing a user should concern themselves with. It can happen if you are a decent user, but it doesn't need to.


 * I'm also getting the impression that you are misjudging the function of a sysop. Most people see sysops and think of them as untouchable people who can waltz around and tell other people what they have to do for their own amusement. It isn't like that. With being sysop comes responsibility, and a great heap of disadvantages as well. You cannot carefreely stroll through the community anymore, because you have to be in charge and ensure that nothing goes wrong. You have to yell at and punish people, even if you might actually feel sorry for them, or even if they are your friends (which you might then lose in the process). You have to subdue your own emotions a lot and deal with offenders in the most objective and fair way possible, even if they throw shit at you. Every decision you make is bound by the rules, and you have to know them. You sometimes have to surrender your own opinions in favor of what is best for the wiki. If you abuse your power to do whatever you want, you will get reprimanded and you even might lose your sysop privilegues again. So shortly: Being sysop is not about having power, it's about having a job. It's work. Tedious, exhausting, and ungrateful work. If you put all of this in perspective and think about what these things would mean for you, I am certain you wouldn't want to become a sysop anymore, because for you, it would mean losing a great deal of freedom.


 * Even if the above stuff doesn't change your mind about becoming a sysop, I have to tell you that this job requires a certain degree of discipline. Every once in a while, we admins come together and discuss if any new patrollers should be assigned. While doing this, every admin has their own values they look for in candidates. Personally, the things that matter the most for me are modesty and kindness, honesty, mental maturity, and most importantly, trustworthiness. Things like high edit counts or addressing me with "sir" don't matter to me at all. I merely look for those virtues in a person. Every candidate I supported so far exceled at most of these virtues, and I am proud of them, and the progress they have made. I don't support candidates I cannot be proud of.


 * So, if I look at you and everything I have seen of you so far, I am sorry, but I (among others) believe that you are not ready for becoming a sysop right now. You wouldn't make it very long. You have shown to be prone to disobedience. You bear the marks of low personal discipline ("I just couldn't help but sneak away and ask in a sneaky way."). Your self-control leaves a lot to be desired. Whenever you asked for a promotion, you mentioned power. Power seems to be all you seek, which speaks for itself. All in all, these are qualities that should not be present in a viable future Sysop. My honest judgment is that a promotion will not happen for you in the near future. If you still desire to become a sysop, you can start by learning to control these impulses and taking your time to mature. But this will be no easy task and you need to decide if that is really worth it. And don't delude yourself by taking this lightly. I assure you, a change of this magnitude will take years. That's all I have to say on the matter of your power desires.


 * Those who are familiar with my M.O. know that I tend to give out advice to people. The advice I can give you is this: You are a user of the Super Mario Wiki because you like the subject and you have fun writing articles and editing. If your sole reason for being here is to achieve power, you are doing something wrong.


 * This is a huge wall of text. I pray writing it wasn't a waste of time. - 18:27, 14 March 2011 (EDT)


 * I'd like to emphasize the fact that we will NOT promote someone if we have reason to believe that they "really want those powers". Lots of users have "become a Sysop" on their list of goals, and that's okay because it's only natural for someone to aspire to great things, but they shouldn't edit because they want a promotion. If we see someone doing that, it tells us that they care more about themselves than the wiki: we don't want someone like that on the core staff. It is not the sort of behaviour that should be rewarded - least of all with power: if they're not mature enough to contribute without fishing for praise and rewards, they're certainly not mature enough to be a reliable authority figure. - 19:26, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Yes, another question.
I have noticed that we aren't very consistent when linking to other NIWA sites on SSB articles and the like. I find this a little odd, because, for example, we have an article on Link, which deals very well with all his appearances in Mario and SSB games, and gives enough info for someone else to understand a bit about him, but let's say that someone on this site finds Link an interesting character, and would like to know more about him. Instead of him having to ask or be told by another user that there is a better article on Link on the Zelda Wiki, wouldn't it be better to link (pun not intended) to the featured article on Link on Zelda Wiki, which would tell any user all about him? The same applies to, say, Samus, Pikachu, and Kirby, I'm sure the articles on their respective wikis would be a good thing to link people to if they want more information. If it is a good idea, I have a few other questions. Is putting the information on something I should create a pipe project for, or something I need to make a proposal about, or something I should just do myself? (I don't think I can do that)  4:47, 14 March 2011 (EST)
 * I'm probably a horrible candidate for answering a question like this, seeing how I don't have much to do with NIWA anymore, but I think you are mostly right. Those interwiki link circumstances need fixing and more consistency. We actually discussed this at some point, but it eventually came to a standstill when some users took an unfinished template and applied it to articles prematurely, or something along those lines. Anyway, if you can think of an elegant way to solve this problem, you are encouraged to do so. I think a PipeProject covering that wouldn't be a bad idea either. You could try talking about those suggestions to someone who is up-to-date with NIWA stuff as well, like User:Super Mario Bros.. - 18:48, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

Thanks, I'll ask him. 8:08, 15 March 2011 (EDT)

Super Mario Sunshine levels
Yes, I actually got that from a Nintendo Power game guide book thing for Super Mario Sunshine (according to this policy, I understand that it is a relatively legitimate source for naming), but in any case, I did also check with Fawfulfury65 before I did that...

02:37, 15 March 2011 (EDT)

Okay!

10:53, 15 March 2011 (EDT)

Hi
What Mario games do you play/ Do you have Mario games?
 * I have played most of the bigger Mario games, beginning with Super Mario Bros., over Super Mario World and Super Mario 64, and ending with... Super Mario Sunshine I guess. I never played any of the Super Mario Galaxies or New Super Mario Bros. due to the lack of both a Wii and a DS respectively. The game that got me into the Mario series when I was a kid was Super Mario Bros. 3. My most favorite Mario game ever is Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Recently I have been playing a lot of Super Mario Sunshine. - 09:12, 15 March 2011 (EDT)

Hello
Hello Edofenrir. I'm new on this wiki and I was wondering if you could be my friend tell me stuff I need to know about wiki. Please reply on my talk page. Later.-RussellsDad

Sammer Guy Tattles
Hi! A long time ago, I wrote down a bunch of the tattles for some of the Sammer Guys from Super Paper Mario (don't ask me why :D), so I was wondering, do you think we need those on the page that lists all the Sammer Guys or not?

(I can't necessarily promise that I'd have them for every Sammer Guy, maybe just like the first 30 or so...)

07:33, 16 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I think something like that would make a nice addition to the page, even if its not a complete list. Someone else might pick up the edit baton and add in the rest later. (I don't really need to ask why, I like to collect those little tibits of information as well :3). - 07:55, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Questions
Hi Edofenrir Wassup. I have two questions. 1.Why I can't make my userpage?

2.How to make a signature?

Can you please answer these thanks.-RussellsDad

Sup
Hi again its not that I don't trust but I think I will wait for the userpage thing but can you make me sig and then when you reply to this put the sig on it. The way I want my sig: Has a picture of Roy Koopa and then says RussellsDad in dark blue and links my userpage that will be created later and a link to my talk page. Please and thank you.-RussellsDad

Sorry
Oh I'm sorry. You don't have to design it I will. But can you please make the page.-RussellsDad

A couple Questions
Is there a way to see a list of Mario Wiki Users? Also would you mind creating me a page for my sig, not user page just sig. Lm 19:29, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Thanks
Thanks for creating my sig page and deleting that pointless warning for me!! Thanks so much!! 20:54, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Last Question
First of all thank you sooooo much for creating the page for my sig. You were really a lot of help. If you need any help just tell me I'll be there. I just one last question I've heard from a lot people that you become auto-confirmed a week from when you first made your account. Is that true? Please reply on my talk and once again thank you so much for making my sig page. See ya later.-

Userpedia question
Would you be able to help me out with a quick Userpedia issue? I hear you're a Sysop there too...

03:11, 18 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Of what nature is that issue? - 08:22, 19 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, I talked to my friend the other day, and I found out that he is a user of several ranks on a few different wikis. So, I told him that he should consider creating an account on Userpedia. He emailed me back and told me that for whatever reason, creating new accounts on Userpedia is currently disabled, and that they ask that any users wishing to create an account contact an admin via chat, but that the chat program is being blocked by his PC's security. He therefore wanted to know if I would request that an account be created on his behalf, which of course I have no problem doing, only I'm not really certain that that's even allowed (but I'm like 99.9% sure it's not). But even if I can't do that, is there another way he could contact someone instead? Anyway, since you know a lot more about Userpedia than I do, I thought I should ask you what I should do in this situation.

18:39, 19 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, what you should do is contact an admin about it... which you are doing right now. o_O Can you tell me what kind of name his account should have? I'll do something about it then. - 21:11, 19 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Yes! Actually, in his email, he told me that he would like to have the username: "KenVille" if it's available...

23:10, 19 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Is there a way I can send you the password for that account in privacy? - 23:19, 19 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Well, that's exactly what I was wondering about when he asked me to do that for him...I guess you could email it to me at kujoathome@gmail.com, that'd be private right?

23:28, 19 March 2011 (EDT)
 * Email sent. - 02:05, 20 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Okay, I got it! Thanks a lot for helping me with that! I'm sure my friend will appreciate it! :)

Hello. I want to sign up for the fake news. The parts I want to do are Travel Guide and Fake Police Blotter. Both of these spots are open.I have lots of free time so you can count on me to write on Fake News. I hope to hear back from you soon!

Sincerly MARIO MASTER
 * Hi. I outlined what you need to do to sign up for a FN position on top of this page. Just follow the first five points in that purple box thing up there. The first thing you need to do is register an account at the forum, if you haven't already. - 08:26, 19 March 2011 (EDT)

Question
Do you play Rare/Rareware games? I sure do.
 * Yes, I like Rare's older games, especially the Banjo-Kazooie series. - 02:49, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

I'm not really sure why did you remove the |Bit= part, but I think you know what you're doing. Should we at least mention about the bits on the articles?
 * The reason can be found on Talk:Wii, 2257 explained it pretty well. If you're knowledgeable about how CPUs work, you can include that information in the articles, yes. - 06:24, 23 March 2011 (EDT)
 * All he said is that proof about 32-bitness of consoles/handhelds and non-existense of 256-bit CPUs. The reason isn't visible for me.
 * "Describing an entire console as being so‐many‐bits is a pretty meaningless thing to do. Essentially, it's advertising rhetoric that got popular in the ’90s. The reality of the system's specifications is far too complicated to boil down to a single number." - 07:18, 23 March 2011 (EDT)

Hello

 * Can you please delete [[File:GruntyWitch.jpg]]? I replaced the image with better quality and bigger image.

Unblock Users

 * Can you please unblock KoopaYoshi, Mileycyrussoulja, and TheUltimateKoopa please? I think you guys were a bit too hard on them. First of all, KoopaYoshi didn't mean to impersonate, he was only making a comment while fooling around with the impersonations and he should've had and warning instead. Mileycyrussoulja only made a flaming poem and only deserved to be blocked for a few months for one message, nd TheUltimateKoopa didn't really flame Gamefreak75 badly and he sould have been blocked for a few months for that. Can you please unblock the three of them? Thanks...
 * Sorry sir...
 * By bossy what do you mean I have been bossy?

Users to Unban
Hey Edo, you know the user RudnickiMarioX06? His racist and sexist comments weren't too bad, and he shouldn't have been permabanned. You should unban him.
 * You want fries with that? - 05:44, 25 March 2011 (EDT)

Forums

 * Can you unprotect my forum article there please? I want to see it. Besides I don't care if people are in my buisness.


 * Well first off, the forums don't have articles, just threads. Secondly, you cannot "unprotect" it because it is only meant for administrative discussions, which of course, is only meant for staff of the wiki to discuss in. Please stop pestering people about this matter. Thank you. --

Deletion

 * I have tagged articles for deletion. Can you please delete them because they are bad redirects. Thanks

Hi
Hello, I'm DKPetey99. Can you please look at this? This user is trying to catch up by putting 5 edits in a row on article's talk pages! Can you do something about it, please?
 * I have given the user in question a warning about that sort of behavior, which I already considered when I saw the edit cluster on Talk:Luigi. I understand that this situation must frustrate you, but I don't think that too much or the wrong kind of pressure is the solution either. I can see that you told him to "catch up" over and over again on his talk page. The problem is, even if a user shapes up and starts editing main space, they won't be catching up immediately when they had about 300 user space edits before. So, what I'm trying to say is that edit counts aren't as important as they seem. The process of managing the balance between main and user space is more of a situational thing. We should focus more on what people do in the present, instead of solely the numbers beneath their names. And if (I repeat, if) that guy starts editing properly from now on, then he won't need more warnings. - 17:02, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Thanks! But that user already got a last warning! That warning should be turned into a block! 18:24, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Galaxy icons
Do you think we could add a "Galaxy Icon" section to the information boxes for each galaxy, just to convey what is used to represent that particular galaxy? I was thinking about it, and it seems like it would be worthwhile...

17:46, 1 April 2011 (EDT)
 * If such icons exist for each galaxy, then I would say it's a nice idea if it can be properly implemented in the infobox. - 19:09, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Okay, thanks, I'll get right on that...and actually, I was serious...I've just seen situations on here where perfectly well-intentioned jokes can go awry...

19:19, 1 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Idk, I've only been on here a few months, so I'm still learning what's accepted and not...just trying to be careful, u know?

19:29, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Thanks. :)

19:51, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

Your Warning
You know the warning you gave me that looked like this?

I think you gave this to the wrong person. I don't think I even did this. So I think you might of been mistaken.

Hi there!
Hi, I am Superfiremario's dad, and I was reading his page and saw he had a lot of warnings... I just wanted to fill you in on a few things. He has Asperger's Syndrome, which is on the Austism Spectrum, and he is only nine years old. He really loves Mario, and really loves this website! He spends a lot of time on it and is really excited about how he can create and edit things here. The mistakes he has been making are not because he is violating rules on purpose, he simply doesn't understand how the site works. He is very proud of his user page, which is why he has spent so much time on it. I do understand the warnings and he is working on following them - please understand his situation, however... he would be devastated if he was blocked from MarioWiki! if you explain to him exactly what his mistake was, he will follow it. Thanks so much... Superfiremario's dad

Galaxy icons completed!
Well, I finally just finished implementing the Galaxy Icon information into all the galaxy articles like we had discussed, so hopefully everything is satisfactory... :)

22:14, 4 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, that looks decent. Thank you for your effort. - 16:39, 12 April 2011 (EDT)

Fake News Police Blotter
I would like to sign up for Fake police blotter. I have lots of free time so you can call me when you want me to work on the wiki. I hope to hear back from you soon from MARIO MASTER


 * Hello. I outlined what you need to do to apply for a Fake News section in that purple box thing at the top of this page. Just follow the steps one to five. :3 - 16:04, 12 April 2011 (EDT)

Loging in on the forum
Hey. thanks for signing me up but im having problems of loging in at the forum. When do want be to send you my demo. So please dont get mad if i don't have it in on time.

from MARIO MASTER


 * I didn't sign anything yet. You need access to the forums in order to send in your application and, if you get the job, your sections. Of what nature is the problem that prevents you from logging in at the forums? - 17:29, 16 April 2011 (EDT)

Kaptain K. Rool
He also did something similar here.--
 * Thanks for telling me. This is really starting to go too far... - 18:41, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

The Warning
Not to be rude, but why did you give me that warning when I actually thought that MARIOMAN was actually SonicRocks cuz I thought his signature was MarioRocks and I thought that I saw that name somewhere and it seemed awfully familiar to me so that warning wasn't reasonable. Can I please delete it now? Thank you Edo.


 * You accused a new user of being a vandal because he randomly said "Mario rocks". "Mario rocks" is a completely normal exclamation. You are supposed to think before you utter accusations. If you had stopped and thought for a minute, it would have occurred to you that a million of different people use the verb "rock" in combination with a name on a regular basis, and none of them are SonicRocks. This could have been avoided with a little pondering. But instead, a new user, who had no idea how this site works and what you were even talking about, had to bear the brunt of your thoughtlessness. And if your actions contribute to intimidate new users, you can expect action to be taken against you. It is as simple as that. - 18:28, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

Help
Hey Edo can you do something about Pikman220 because he's flaming Mario Fan 123 and Mario jc.--

Patroller
Thank you so much! I may have to ask you questions at some point in the future... :)

04:55, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Hi Edo
Is it okay to add infoboxes to cancelled games?
 * Diddy Kong Pilot, Donkey Kong Racing, Donkey Kong no Ongaku Asobi, Super Mario's Wacky Worlds, Yoshi Demo
 * These cancelled games have infoboxes already, so I think giving the rest of the cancelled games infoboxes too would be ok, as long as you know what you're doing. - 08:25, 25 April 2011 (EDT)
 * THank you :). Can I still sometime become a patroller or sysop if I stop being disruptive? Also there are stuff to be deleted. Thank you.
 * I cannot give an accurate answer to that question. Whether someone becomes a patroller, or achieves really anything else in life, depends entirely on the person themselves. - 09:12, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Banjo-Kazooie and Conker

 * Can I split the articles from the series now? The proposal Reversinator made about the Banjo and Conker series articles being split ends today.
 * Only after it passes, Kaptain.
 * I did hasn't it? 31 yes and 2 noes only on there so...
 * I have three issues with the question you just asked me. The first one is that the proposal ends at April 27, 2011, 23:59 GMT. It is currently 11:32 GMT. Please consult a clock whenever dealing with proposals to be sure it's the right time. Second, the original Proposer is Reversinator, not you. Unless he asks you for help or anything, you do absolutely nothing to interfere with his work. Third, the proposal doesn't even deal with anything that suggests splitting anything from anywhere. Before you try to enforce any proposals, be sure you have read them and know what they are actually about. Otherwise you will just do harm instead of good.


 * I hope that answers your question. - 07:32, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Speaking of, since the proposal has passed, could you delete the large amount of pages that redirect to those two? Also, can you make sure nothing is linked to the redirect pages before you delete them? It will just create more red links and more work for me to do.
 * Say, I was just in the midst of removing every link to Kazooie when I realized: Wasn't she alluded to in the manual of Diddy Kong Racing? Because if so, she would technically be eligible for the List of Implied Characters, and her redirect should lead there, instead of being deleted entirely. - 06:26, 28 April 2011 (EDT)

Proposal?
This proposal seems really against the rules, but I still can't just get rid of it, right?

17:09, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

...
Hi Edo, I wanted to try out for The 'Shroom (specifically the Fake Interview), but I'm having trouble creating a forums account. You have to answer these verification questions, and it says I'm getting at least one wrong, but I KNOW I'm answering them correctly!! (They're really easy questions.) Could you try and help? And if not, that's okay. Thanks. 06:43, 28 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Hi. The only thing I could do to help would be registering an account for you, but for that I need to know what name you would like the account to have, as well as how I could send you the password in privacy. - 07:53, 28 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Ok. I guess I'll have the same username (Mariomario64). One question: could you change your password at any time? (on the forums) 15:05, 5 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, you can change your password at any time. - 16:52, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

Some questions about 'Fake News: Cooking Guide'
Hi:

I want to write for 'The Shroom: Fake News' in the 'Cooking guide' section. But before send you the demo via PM, I need you to answer these questions:

1- I can create my own recipes (made of Marioverse items) or I have to use existing ones? 2-I have to write it as a normal text or I can do a dialog (between me and the chef, for example)? 3-I can add images (dish image, a drawn image of a scene)?

Please I need that answers.


 * Hi. You can write your own recipes, as long as your section is still connected to the Mario series somehow. You can also write your section in any format you want, as long as the section ends up being decently written and readable. And adding images is something I would actually encourage. - 21:40, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Template:Super Mario Bros.
Can you tell me how you made it please? Because I'm planning on making ones for other games and stuff. --Conanshinichi 03:12, 16 May 2011 (EDT)
 * You won't be able to make more of them just on a whim. I mean, it's not like we (2257 and I) just decided to not make any more of those templates. We wanted to, but we weren't allowed. If you really want to have more templates like this, the first thing you need to have is consensus. You reach this consensus by making a proposal. Then, provided your proposal passes, you can take on a project such as this.


 * Anyway, if you are interested how those things are made, you should talk to . Don't start anything on your own before making a proposal, though. If you do, your changes will most likely just be reverted. - 18:26, 18 May 2011 (EDT)
 * oh, Oh well...never mind then I just joined so... --Conanshinichi 12:27, 19 May 2011 (EDT)

Hi Edo!
I just warned this guy for the last time, but I went to his his contributions and noticed that he did it more than he should be warned for. Can you look at the contributions and "take care" of it? 09:06, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

Reddragon19k
I've noticed someting peculiar with Reddragon: he has gotten six reminders, 4 warnings and one last warning, yet he hasn't been blocked yet. I think after that many warnings, something stricter should be done. What do you think? --Reversinator 20:13, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Esquelen
This situation about unsourced infos should be sorted out. Please, take a look.

Application sent
I have sent you via PM the application for write for The Shroom.

 * You need to write an application before I will be able to decide anything. I've put that purple box on the top of this page to help out with doing that. I am also currently working on a more detailed guide about that sort of thing to make joining the Fake News easier. - 02:09, 29 June 2011 (EDT)

Artwork
Hey Edofenrir! I've seen your Artwork for many of the users on the wiki and Userpedia. If you have time or something, can you make artwork for me? If you do, you can just make the outline, I'll add the colors. 12:31, 10 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Hi. I'm sorry, I don't really have the time for any art requests right now. - 21:07, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

I don't really have to donate 250 Mushroom Coins 4 Goombas do I?
 * No, that was a joke. - 21:07, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

Categories
Sorry to interrupt you, but need any help removing those categories?
 * It's ok. If you want, you could help me terminating Category:Male by going through it from the end of the list (starting with Z). We'll meet somewhere in the middle then, I suppose. In the meantime, Lindsay is handling Category:Female. - 23:57, 14 July 2011 (EDT)

I like you! :)
And I like dragons, too!(so, can I have that userbox, please?) I'm Fawful117(A.K.A Michael), a 13 year old kid who is in 8th grade and is into Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog! I am a blue fox(exactly like Tails), I have Shadow the Hedgehog's hairdo, a red headband, brown eyes, a red shirt, blue jeans, Shadow's gloves, and Tails' shoes. (Sorry for the long list)

p.s. can we be friends? I want to come in to help you fight the two piantas!

...edo? Hello?


 * Oh, hi. I'm sorry for the late response; I had/have some important stuff going on both here and in RL so I couldn't find the time to respond until now. Those drawings are nice. Unfortunately I won't be able to put you into my comic because that comic has been cancelled pretty much since the beginning of this year. I know that banner on my user page still talks about it, but that's just because I didn't get around to changing that yet. There's some other outdated stuff on there too, like broken images. Sorry for the inconvenience. - 20:12, 22 July 2011 (EDT)

WHAT?!?!? The comic was cancelled!? :( That's just devastating... could i help you remake it? :(

Fawful117: THE USER ARENA!!!!!! THE NEWEST THING!!! COME JOIN NOW OR I WILL HAVE SUCH FURY UPON YOU MORTALS!!! 19:57, 26 July 2011 (EDT)


 * I do not want this comic to be remade in any form. - 03:00, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Well, then! Wanna battle in my User Arena? It's where I gather up a bunch of strong users on this wiki, and they all battle eachother! Whoever wins gets awesome items and a huge bag of a certain number of Coins! But, They aren't just any coins! They are my Special Coins!!!! They also have levels in this arena, and for each battle, they get a certain amout of Experience Points and level up if the experience baris full!(Kinda like a mix of Pokémon and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story). :) So, Wanna join?

Random Question
I just realized this, but is the "fenrir" in your name, named after Fenrir Greyback? 09:15, 26 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Nah. Fenrir is a wolf beast that originated from Norse mythology. But to be honest, I was a child when I thought of the name and I picked it at complete random back then, without knowing anything about it. - 14:06, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

Not so Random question
Hi, The Bowser's Galaxy Generator Article has a construction template. Well, wanting to help fix the article, I looked for problems. However, the planets seem deatailed enough, and, I played through the level while reading the article to check for any missing info and, well, I found none. The article is great. Am I allowed to remove the template? Or will I get a warning or something? If there is anything wrong with it, could you at least point it out to me? (Sometimes Im a little slow when it comes to finding errors) Thank you for your time.
 * Just checked it. The construction template was put there on the 24th of July, 2010 by Baby Mario Bloops. Said user hasn't touched the article even once after that, for over a year, so it's safe to assume the template isn't needed anymore. So yes, you can remove it. For future reference: If you come across a construction template without a specified date anywhere and the original poster of that template hasn't done anything with the article for a long time, you can always remove it. - 02:51, 27 July 2011 (EDT)

Super Paper Mario Beta Images?

 * Sorry to bother you, but I was looking at a Super Paper Mario sprite sheet, which displayed all the partners from Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, but I'm wondering if those sprites are beta elements, which were originally going to be placed in Super Paper Mario. If they are beta elements, I was hoping to expand the Super Paper Mario/Beta elements page to include them, but it seems that due to some vandalism issues back in March, you had to fully protect the page.  Anyway, here's the sprite sheet that I dug up...  http://www.spriters-resource.com/other_systems/superpapermario/partners.png  11:44, 29 July 2011 (EDT)
 * I have unprotected the page again, so you can make the changes you wanted now. - 09:49, 30 July 2011 (EDT)
 * Thank you very much. 09:55, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

Den Shroom - Fake News
By the way, "Den" means "the" in German.

I would like to write for the Shroom's Fake News. I'm good at making things up. Please decide if I am fit to write for the Shroom.

Pdjr9000 07:05, 30 July 2011 (EDT)


 * Yes, I am aware that "den" is a German term, and that it can be translated as "the". However, I feel like I should tell you that it is not possible to use that word in the context you did. "The 'Shroom", by itself, is a nominative case. "Den" however, is only ever used for accusative cases, and is therefore incompatibe with the header situation. The correct article to use here would be "der". Just as a hint.


 * Anyway, if you want to write for the 'Shroom, you need to send in an application. Before that I cannot decide anything. - 09:48, 30 July 2011 (EDT)

hi
hi gutentaag can we be friends

Can i get your advice
Do you think i mishandeled this situation


 * No, I don't think you mishandled that situation. It is how you said; this site is primary an encyclopedia, not a social networking site. It's ok to be conversational, but one shouldn't forget that our main focus here is the database. That's what we're here for. - 16:17, 4 August 2011 (EDT)

Eh?
I wanted to put a comment on Kaptain K. Rool's talkpage about his infinite ban, but I can't because it's protected. Mr Man 05:25, 27 October 2011 (EDT)

OK, so I'll tell you what I wanted to put: Kaptain K. Rool was perma-banned in violation of MarioWiki's Blocking Policy. It is meant to be that Ban Evasion extends the block the first time and becomes an infinite ban the second time. Kaptain K. Rool's 1-month block became an infinite ban the first time (his first sockpuppet was called "Kaptain K. Rool on the Rampage!".Mr Man 13:21, 6 November 2011 (EST)


 * You have your facts wrong there. First of all, KKR's penultimate ban was three months long, not one month. Second of all, his first sockpuppet was "Jello Rabbit", not "Kaptain K. Rool on the Rampage!" (that one was his second one). A sockpuppet created for ban-evading reasons usually doubles the length of the current ban. However, when that ban is already three months long, we don't bother with doubling that anymore. If you have a ban that long, you should be smart enough to realize you're down to your last chance. Everything that comes after that will be a permaban by default.


 * Anyway, if you really feel that strongly about that incidence, you should take it to the admins. However, your previous comment indicates that you lack proper knowledge of what actually happened during the time KKR was here, and you will most likely not be able to make a solid case. For the sake of not wasting your time and that of the admins unnecessarily, I advise against it. - 12:03, 10 November 2011 (EST)
