Regarding this, there's no connection, and I don't know why you assumed there was. 21:55, 14 February 2019 (EST) Oh, sorry. Their usernames both sound similar and end in a year, so, sorry. Also, the accounts were both created within a short time of each other, so I assumed the accounts were related. TheDarkStar(talk) 22:04, 14 February 2019 (EST)
 * They were created almost a whole day apart, but admins check the IPs of new users that register. It's how the connection to their original account was made in the first place. You're not in trouble, but for future reference, if you think something's up with a user, contact an admin rather than directly confronting them. 22:15, 14 February 2019 (EST)

Oh, okay. I'll try to remember that next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 22:21, 14 February 2019 (EST)

I am not trying to vandalize
Who you please stop calling it vandalism I am not trying to vandalize the article and I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible. I apologize if it comes off this way though my intent is to try improve this wiki not vandalize it.


 * The edits in question were either redundant or speculative(Kate Higgins could just as possibly be actually singing). TheDarkStar (talk) 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * I just said this to Doomhiker this afternoon, don't be so quick to call edits vandalism if they look like they are actually trying to accomplish something. Unless it's blatant vandalism, an edit summary or talk page explanation would be helpful.
 * That said, apologies for the edit war. I just got home and am a little tired, so I thought the full name used on the page was what the actual article was called :P 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 23:22, 2 March 2019 (EST)
 * A similar situation happened here. Make sure to consider all possibilities of an edit not being vandalism before calling it vandalism especially in this case as many users do not know that we do not cover fan-made content. 17:09, March 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I didn't know of the mods. I will try to do a bit more research next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 17:55, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

"enemies that only reappear in one game"
The SMB3 enemies only reappeared in one game when SMB&F was released, keep in mind. And that does matter. Very much. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (EST)
 * OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (EST)

New, more compressed version of https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64.png#file
Hi! I'm new to this wiki so I don't know how this works, but I made a more compressed (lossless) version of it via TinyPNG. It is around 600 kilobytes as opposed to the former 5 megabytes. No idea how this site works, but I uploaded it here. https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64_(1).png It says I can't overwrite it or something on the original page. Could you add it in for me?


 * Sorry, but I'm not the one you should ask about that. TheDarkStar (talk) 11:24, 9 March 2019 (EST)

Image category
really was not acceptable at all. It's obviously not from Donkey Kong, so it shouldn't go in that category. Removing the accidentally-extra colon would have been a much better thing to have done. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:50, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh. I did not know that the image category was existent. TheDarkStar (talk) 18:57, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * Good idea would have been to check the other image on the Rolling Frog page to see what it had. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:05, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK, thanks! TheDarkStar (talk) 20:54, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Reverting edits
Don't simply continuously revert the edits leaving summaries telling the user to stop (this in particular was unnecessary). A lot of users don't check the history page or recent changes and therefore don't see the summaries, and in the case of vandals (if they do see it), would only provoke them further. In the future, leave a post on their talk page telling them what they did wrong, that way they'd be notified. 00:47, March 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * OK. I'll try to do that next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 00:53, March 20, 2019 (EDT)
