User talk:Knife

Thanks for visiting my talk page. If you want to view my archives, look at past revisions of this page. I will not create a separate subpage since it is a waste of space. If you have a question about why I deleted a certain page, please use the section right below this message. Be sure to create a sub-header for the article you're talking about. For these questions, I will answer back on this page for simplicity and to avoid multiple questions regarding the same page.-- 19:07, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Penguin Playground
Could you restore the Penguin Playground article? It's a real name. Fawfulfury65 just put the deletion template becuase she thought it was a fake name. It's not. So could you restore it? Either you or Tucayo. - Billtn 01:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

You need to provide some official proof. Youtube video titles are not considered official proof.-- 12:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not talking about this on YouTube, I mean that if you look on the World article and that you find World 3 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, you can see that it is also called Penguin Playground. I hope you understand me?

According to this, no one found proof for the names. I don't know why the names are on the World article, but they should be removed immediately. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, but unless you bring better proof than the youtube or an article, Penguin Playground will remain deleted.-- 18:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Red Orb, Yellow Orb, Blue Orb, Coleco
Dude, this wiki needs an article on the Red, Blue, and Yellow Orbs from super paper mario, but they keep getting deleted. When will they be on here? They are an ITEM from super paper mario and deserve an article. Mileycyrussoulja 13:59, 7 November 2010 (UTC) PS: And why did you delete coleco? Even lindsay151 worked on it, and she knows what shes doing.

You should probably create a combined article for all of the Orbs since individually they don't have enough information. Somewhere like will be fine. Also, I deleted Coleco because it was a new stub article. As you should already know, new stub articles are deleted immediately.-- 16:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

DK Jungle Sunset
Hello! I saw you deleted the article. I created it because Garlic Stapler asked me to do that. Is it not better with stubs than none information at all? And anyone can extend it. -  (t)  Yoshi's Island   (c)   17:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

We have created a policy that new stubs are not allowed. The attitude that someone else will expand it beyond a stub for you is not a helpful editing style. This is because many stubs created get completely ignored while red links get better attention from potential editors. Garlic Stapler may have said it was okay to create the article, but not create a new stub. Some info is better than none, but not when it detracts editing traffic.-- 06:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I understand. - [[Image:Yoshi Egg Big.gif|22px]] (t)  Yoshi's Island   (c)  [[Image:PM2 Yoshi.PNG|22px]] 16:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Shroob Missile
Why did you delete the Shroob Missle article? I'm kinda new here, so when I went to create it, It had "Warning. This page has already been deleted by another user" or something along those lines.

Shroob Missile was deleted because it was an unofficial name, not notable, and was a new stub article. Hope that answers your question.-- 15:45, 17 January 2011 (EST)

New Super Mario Bros. Coin World
In response of deleting, I don't really think that thing is considered merchandise. It's another Coin medal game made by Capcom, the guys who also made Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party along with its' sequel, and Korokoro Catcher; along with Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever, and Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom. The only reasons I didn't provide more info is because I can't translate what it says in the following images, and that I'm critically more focused on adding entries in the Merchandise section, along with it's sub-sections. Can you please restore the article? It bears more info when the japanese text is translated, and deserves it's own article. -- 22:12, 14 January 2011 (EST)

I suppose I can, but I can't let a conjecturally named two liner be created. You can either make it a sub-page of yours until you get more information or keep the information on Toys for now. For merchandise, the criteria to having an article is the availability of content. For example, Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World does not have it's own article despite being officially named and being a arcade game.-- 19:25, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Instrument Tikis
Hello, the Kalimba Tiki and the other tikis names are found on the DK Wiki with those exact names!--

DK Wiki is not an official source.-- 10:15, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * Can we restore the Tikis and use the ?

10:24, 14 April 2011 (EDT)

Nope. They simply aren't notable enough on their own. All they do is possess the boss and nothing else.-- 20:33, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

Furuta Chocolate Eggs
Why did you deleted that page? I know you added that tiny description in the Food (merchandise) page, but now there's no list of figurines!! If you think those eggs didn't need a page on their own I disagree! These figurines are of the best ever made and were very popular in Japan! They deserve an article, at least as long as we don't have images for all of them! I might be wrong, but YOU might as well be wrong! Before deleting a page you should propose the deletion and then let the users decide!--Kombatgod 10:58, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

First of all, read the top of the page. You need to create a sub-section under this section to bring up deletions. That being said, I merged it simply for consistency. All food related products are covered under one article. If anything, you need to create a Talk Page Proposal to break that consistency, not the other way around. As for information loss, you can still add information, I just merged what I felt was most relevant to the product. Hope that helps.-- 14:06, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

Wassup
Hows it goin knife? I just needed advice on a Gallery template i made per a passed proposal. Look at Template:Galleries. I want it to be similar to the Staff Teams template except it can have subheaders for characters, games, etc. Right now its not going as planed. You think u can work on it? Mileycyrussoulja 16:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Bro could you stop with the reminders? I didnt know that making abbreviation disambig pages was bad, i was only trying to help. You could have just told me. Mileycyrussoulja 17:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

No offense, but thats kinda creepy, in a way. Other admins can just check the recent changes. But its kinda getting annoying getting a bunch of reminders for little things that i never knew were bad or against policy. I learn from my mistakes. Mileycyrussoulja 19:36, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks bro. Mileycyrussoulja 21:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry
Sorry about that, I won't do it again.

Sorry for the useless redirects
Yeah, sorry. But what's your opinion on the article? 19:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But how does it violate? Please don't merge it just yet, I worked real hard on it.
 * It in no way violates that. It's a real life monster truck that was inspired solely by Donkey Kong. It's licensed by Nintendo.
 * Thanks so much. And don't go making a real life references page just so mine gets merged ;) 20:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I suggested that page to Edo and he said go for it, so I did. I'm a big monster truck fan, so I figured I'd be the best person for the job.

FireFlower
Thank you for the message about deletion I will make sure I follow those rules from now on.

Conjectural Names
Hi Knife! I was told you were working on a policy regarding conjectural names, so I thought you might want to take a look at a proposal I made, which deals with the conjectural names of SMG planets. The proposal says that conjectural names should be clear, professional and straightforward, and should be noted they are conjectural by using a new template,. Please tell me what you think about this proposal. Ok, the proposal was deleted because it was unnecessary, so now my question is, should this new policy about naming planets (clear, professional and straightforward, as well as using that template to alert the readers they are not official names) be written somewhere?-- 12:15, 31 December 2010 (EST)

RareWiki

 * Are you going to come back there and is the person called Knife you? Also if you make 100 edits there you will be promoted to a sysop. BTW I own that wiki now :D.
 * Uhh.. why do you think you'll pass? Also note I have changed my username.
 * I don't see you here much? Are you sure you don't want to join?

Deleted Userpage

 * Why is your userpage deleted?
 * Can I see it? IDK I am wierd and wishing to see peoples' userpages.

Max2 and WarioLoaf

 * Remember Max2 and WarioLoaf? Yes I am sure you do. They are blocked due to vandals hacking in their accounts and for their vandalism. Truly, I think a vandal hacked into their accounts because they made good contributions in the past and suddenly they then vandalized. Thanks

Interesting theory.-- 19:28, 22 February 2011 (EST)


 * You believe it? I am guessing and thanks for the comment. What is interesting about this theory?

I don't necessarily believe it, but I think it is interesting because it could have happened.-- 19:56, 22 February 2011 (EST)


 * I know, but the question is how did vandals do that? P.S. Maybe you should unblock them. I saw Max2 contribute on Kirby.wikia.com on June 4, 2010 and he didn't vandalize and so did WarioLoaf on other wikis.

It's not up to me. If they were truly innocent, they should've contacted the admins by now.-- 21:10, 22 February 2011 (EST)


 * Sure ok :D I have also found some more clues about Max2 on his September 22, 2007 contribution he stated it was his last edit and 1 month and 29 days later, he (mainly a vandal) vandalized pages. Also Knife, some people might not have e-mail addresses. Thanks

That really doesn't mean much. I never said they can only be contacted through E-mail. They can use the forum or chatroom. Either way, I doubt they'd be interested in coming back after all this time.-- 14:13, 26 February 2011 (EST)

I am very sorry
Sorry.I will never create another stub article from now on.- Yoshiboystarpower71 Sorry about that--Yoshidude99 12:16, 18 February 2011 (EST)

Hi Knife

 * Have you heard of The_official_NIWA_wiki? If you did do you want to help out there. It is a NIWA wiki that is seeking contributors. See Ya. I'll tell you it is the main boss wiki of NIWA and RAP created it!!! MarioWiki is part of NIWA so yeah you get it. Thanks and plz join.

I know, but I am too busy with things here.-- 19:28, 22 February 2011 (EST)

Re: Reminder
Why did you give me a reminder? I edit each page in sections (ease for my netbook), and sometimes, I see something that I have not corrected yet, but I want to edit. 21:35, 24 February 2011 (EST)

For your circumstance, I will let it go. Thanks for clarifying that with me, your reminder has been removed.-- 21:37, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Delete

 * I've tagged some stuff for deletion. Can you delete them? Thx...

Proposal

 * I have created a new proposal here and I was wondering. Is it OK to do that? Thanks...

I don't see why not. Go for it. You probably should be proposing it on the proposal page though.-- 15:18, 26 February 2011 (EST)
 * Why?

Why what?-- 15:23, 26 February 2011 (EST)


 * Never mind I moved it to the Proposals page as two people (with one including you) asked me so I did it. Also can you please comment there? Thanks.

I really have nothing to comment on at this time. Sorry.-- 15:30, 26 February 2011 (EST)

Hello, Knife. I just removed the proposal in question because I deemed it a violation of proposal rule 12. The rule states that proposals concerning promotions are invalid. The proposal in question deals with the creation of a page that would be a direct violation of rule 12. The proposal has been restored due to the permission you gave earlier. I think under the circumstances I described, the proposal should be/remain deleted. Could you please reconsider your stance in this? - 16:23, 26 February 2011 (EST)

If it's against the rules, I have no problems with it. I hadn't really noticed that rule, sorry about that.-- 20:29, 27 February 2011 (EST)

A question

 * Won't that be funny if you had user counterparts called Spoon and Fork seeing that you are Knife?

I guess. Since you're here, I just want to warn you that gnomework is not a good way to get promoted. In fact, we find it quite annoying. Try to make more meaningful contributions that don't flood up the recent changes.-- 13:47, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * WHat do you mean gnomework? I am trying to help the wiki. YOu can hide the minor edits if it kinda bugs you. Why is gnomework bad again and what makes you think that gnomework makes people contribute for sysop powers?

I never said that gnomework was bad. I was pointing out that gnomework does not help very much if you want to be considered for promotion. I mention this because a lot of users have the misconception that more minor edits>less major edits.-- 13:56, 6 March 2011 (EST)


 * Minor edits? Oh sure I do want sysop powers ans I am not going to ask for them because steve says it is against the rules to ask for sysop powers. I am adding galleries to pages and these minor edits took a lot of hard work so it actually was hard work.

Re:warning
NEW STUB ARTICLES??!?!?! They were created per proposal!!

Minor Question
On the top of an article, when you have a quote and a "Not to be confused with..." thing, which should come first? Or doesn't it really matter...?

09:26, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

"Not to be confused with" should go above the quote. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions- 13:15, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Thanks! :)

14:22, 16 March 2011 (EDT)

Banjo-Kazooie and Conker talk

 * Do you play Banjo-Kazooie or Conker series? I play Banjo-Kazooie, but I am soon going to get Conker's Pocket Tales.

Nope.-- 03:42, 11 April 2011 (EDT)


 * Do you know why the Conker series is discontinued? I don't.

Nope.-- 14:04, 11 April 2011 (EDT)

Thanks
Thank you! I try to do my best! :)

Reverting
[] Stop reverting my edits, I'm doing it right. P.S. I know that you're "admin".

You're in no position to tell me to stop reverting your edits. Until you provide a good reason for using file instead of image, I'm just going to ahead and lock the page.-- 07:47, 15 April 2011 (EDT)
 * While you're at it, add this site as recomended free converter. Convertfiles.com can only convert audio ogg but this one does the same with videos only.

You can add that in yourself once the page is unprotected. I suggest you defend your position on Help talk:Media as to why we should use File: instead of Image:. I don't plan on protecting the page indefinitely and I'm open to new ideas, so you don't necessary need to concede.-- 17:02, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

Another edit
[] What were you thinking about when putting this one?

Yeah, editing error. Don't worry about it.-- 20:29, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

Superfiremario
Why did you block him? I got this message that explains why he should not be blocked.

Look here as well.

''Yeah, I don't know about this...usually, Sysops or Patrollers handle this sort of thing by reminding users about it on their talkpage: ergo, if certain users have been reminded or warned as many times as they have, Sysops or Patrollers must not think that stricter actions need to be taken at this point. At any rate, I hardly think that too many userspace edits compared to their mainspace edits is deserving of a block; it's not as if they're directly doing anything that's detrimental to the wiki, not to say that it is necessarily okay either, but still...''

Understood, I had no idea that Glowsquid dealt with him as well. I will unblock him for now and see what the other admins have to say about the matter.-- 19:12, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

Don't
Don't do it! Don't protect my userpage! I will be off MarioWiki until April 30th. Protect my userpage until then. Okay? 16:34, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Sorry, but you had this coming. I was actually going to block you for 2 weeks instead, so thank your buddy who spoke up for you.-- 17:45, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Okay, you made a point. 20:05, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Re: Reminder
Thanks for the reminder, Knife. Now I can be more careful when creating new articles. Sorry for stubbing.

Mario304 (Talk)

No problem.-- 14:06, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

What are you doing.
Why have you deleted my Olympic Games page! I'm very angry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Sonic &amp; Boofan 02:22, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

You aren't allowed to have sub-pages like that. Keep all that stuff on your userpage. If you need the coding from the page, let me know.-- 11:55, 23 April 2011 (EDT)
