 This is not a forum for discussions about topics not related to this wiki. Please ensure all comments are related to the wiki because questions such as "Who is your favorite character/team/area in this game" will be ignored.

When editing on this talk page, please remember to sign your edits with Your user name, , or ~.

Welcome to my talk page! Notes:
 * Please no flaming, spamming, ranting, or trolling, as that will be removed.
 * Please no swearing.
 * I will respond on my own talk page, even to "RE:" messages.
 * Feel free to add your own two cents to anything here that isn't resolved yet.
 * I will archive every 50 sections.
 * As says on his talk page: "If I post a message on your talk page, replying to me on mine is strongly discouraged. I've noticed several users replying back and forth on each other's talk pages, and following these conversations is a pain, especially if one of them has a highly active talk page. Unless I need to be informed of something ASAP for whatever reason, I'd rather keep it on one page."

Star Catchers
Hi, it seems you reverted my edit on Star Catchers because what I added was "obvious". I just want to clarify to the contrary; the "normal" behavior as far as I'm aware is that two- or three-way ties at 0 points in a minigame would result in a tie for 3rd or 2nd place, respectively (Globe Gunners in the same game works like this), while Star Catchers has them tie at 4th (making it the only minigame where a 2- or 3-way tie for 4th is possible). But I haven't played a Mario Party game besides MPDS. Do you know if this is more consistent in other games? mathfreak231 15:58, June 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Hmm, interesting. I've never tried that in any Mario Party game. The way it was worded made it seem like you were putting emphasis on the player losing when they didn't get any stars and how collecting all the stars while the others got none resulted in a win. Sorry about that. 16:02, June 13, 2019 (EDT)

two-article disambigs
I can't for the life of me find any sort of policy page specifically on disambiguation pages. Do you know where "disambigs must have at least 3 articles" and other such information would be found? mathfreak231 22:54, June 20, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't recall there being any, but it's apparently much more socially accepted to just use the "not to be confused with" template. Trig - 22:32, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

Your userboxes
Maybe you did it on purpose, but your order of total edits in regards to your userboxes goes 1600, 1700, 1900, 1800. You may have accidentally swapped one. Thought you'd want to know. Trig - 22:32, June 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Fixed it. 22:34, June 21, 2019 (EDT)

User boxes
Could you help me with user boxes. 7:27, June 23, 2019
 * Just put and on a new line, put  to create a tower. The userboxes go between them. Both me and TheDarkStar's userboxes are free to use (except the friend userboxes, you have to earn those). You can also look here for more info on this.  10:17, June 23, 2019 (EDT)

Copy and paste
I didn't. I changed a little bit of stuff. Lord Falafel (talk) 20:09, July 11, 2019 (EDT)
 * Compare:


 * SPM article:

"In a 2007 interview, Seth Gordon, director of, expressed his desire to create a film adaptation of Super Paper Mario. With the rising popularity of, his idea for an adaptation involved constantly switching between 2D and 3D. However, Gordon also mentioned that, even though The King of Kong was screened for Nintendo, he has not been given an opportunity to speak with Nintendo about the idea." List of unreleased media: "In a 2007 interview, Seth Gordon, director of, expressed his desire to create a film adaptation of Super Paper Mario. With the rising popularity of, his idea for an adaptation involved constantly switching between 2D and 3D. However, Gordon also mentioned that, even though The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters was screened for Nintendo, he has not been given an opportunity to speak with Nintendo about the idea."
 * You changed absolutely nothing except The King of Kong's second mention. It counts as copypaste. 20:17, July 11, 2019 (EDT)

Yoshi
I know Yoshi only appeared in minigames. But saying he never appeared in the game is a complete lie or ignorance I'm trying to stop. I don't want to give the readers false information. Lord Falafel (talk) 10:15, July 12, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's why I rewrote it to say that Yoshi only appears in minigames. 10:50, July 12, 2019 (EDT)

HEROWALUIGI
I just wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine after giving me that fake reminder on my talk page under the discussion board: consecutive edits, telling me that I should make no more than 3 edits on a page and everything else he's done. We shouldn't have people like him on our wiki. Did Steve ever cause this amount of problems? Alex? JC? You? 3 months? How about 3,000? Lord Falafel (talk) 23:30, July 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * If you find yourself wanting vengeance on other editors, please log off and calm down. And I've been here for five months, not three. 23:32, July 13, 2019 (EDT)

I'm talking about how long Mario JC blocked him. Lord Falafel (talk) 23:34, July 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * That's the least important part of my comment; if you find yourself bitterly desiring comeuppance towards another editor, log off and calm down. Don't angrily make disruptive comments in edit summaries or delete parts of talk pages. 23:41, July 13, 2019 (EDT)

HEROMARIO userbox
Since he is blocked again, this time for 3 months, would you add an userbox for that, like you did for his return? -- 11:04, July 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * I'm not going to violate courtesy by drawing attention to another user's block. I'll remove the return userbox, it's outdated. 11:31, July 14, 2019 (EDT)

Awesomehippos
Please explain why you removed my edit to the page foo So that I may know in the future. 12:31, July 15, 2019 (SDT)

I see...It was in an incorrect format 12:35, July 15, 2019 (SDT)
 * Ty-Foo and Foo don't have very many similarities besides an English name and both being evil clouds. Ty-Foo's an actual danger, while Foo is a minor annoyance, at best. 13:39, July 15, 2019 (EDT)

GMT
At the top of the Proposals page, it lists the current time from when the page is loaded. In this case, it's past July 17th, 23:59 GMT today, so that proposal can be archived today. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:12, July 17, 2019 (EDT)
 * When I checked it in Special:Diff, Special:Diff's time-of-edit said 20:07. So either there's an inconsistency between the two times, or it was a bug. Sorry for the confusion. 20:14, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

Contact information
There are 2 ways to contact a guy who might have information regarding the 1993 super Mario world redemption arcade game by Fabtek. The first way is an aol and the second way is an Instagram page. If you're not interested, we should get glowsquid to help. I found these on borp's arcade coverage on the super Mario boards. I hope these links aren't dead. Dmanis123@aol.com http://instagram.com/ninjabaseballbatman/ Lord Falafel (talk) 15:29, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Why not type the link into your search engine? I'm pretty sure it works on mobile. 16:01, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

I'm busy with other stuff at the moment. I don't know if I'll have time. Lord Falafel (talk) 16:07, July 18, 2019 (EDT)
 * Then either wait or ask someone else. 16:09, July 18, 2019 (EDT)

Italicize
Please don't do this to me. I forgot. I shouldn't be in trouble because I forgot. I didn't mean to unintentionally commit an offense. Please lift this. Lord Falafel (talk) 01:02, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Oh. Sorry about that. Don't worry, it's most likely nothing will happen since the report was removed. Here, have a userbox.

10:13, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

Please don't be offended, but no. None of you are forgiven. HEROWALUIGI for breaking the rules multiple times, him giving me a reminder without being an admin, you giving me a reminder, a warning and a last warning without being an admin, Alex95 for removing virtual boy wario land from the list of games while we still archived canceled games there, jjrapper100 for removing super Mario bros pinball from the list, whoever it was on the Mario boards for blocking that one guy's brother and not the guy, all the times you all wrongly thought something or misinterpreted something, all of you not adding games you already had on the wiki to the list, not researching for more and adding them, games, shows, films, videos, publications, merchandise and everything I didn't mention. I cannot forgive any of you for the acts you've done. And I don't want to sound offensive. I just don't like the majority of people on this wiki. That's why I'm gonna stay a loner on this wiki. And not being able to create your user page in one edit? That just annoys me. Good day. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:05, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

But I still need Alex's help with stuff. Lord Falafel (talk) 11:09, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

OK. 11:13, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * 1) Any user can give out reminders and warnings.
 * 2) It is possible to create a userpage in one edit, just start small and add more over time.
 * 3) That tirade is not going to earn you good favor with the admins.


 * ...Dude. These are by far the silliest possible reasons to hold a grudge. Absolutely 0% of what we do here is that serious. -- 12:00, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Pretty sure holding a grudge is also counterproductive and pointless. 19:19, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

I'm not sure what report Falafel is talking about, there's nothing about this context on their talk page. But a minor mistake doesn't mean a reminder/warning (if one was given). 19:29, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

I forgot to italicize. Lord Falafel (talk) 19:32, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * I apparently misinterpreted the context of a 's "thou shalt not break any more rules" as a "thou shalt not break any more rules or a report will be issued". Care to explain the context? 19:36, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * A minor mistake is nothing worth blocking over. 19:40, July 21, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, sorry about that. I suggest rewriting or at least clarifying what exactly a lastwarn means on the warning policy.  19:43, July 21, 2019 (EDT)

Your Bull's-Eye Bill proposal
Like i said on the above discussion, it would have needed to be included in the proposal, being merged prior to a proposal for the rest. -- 01:55, July 25, 2019 (EDT)
 * What i'm trying to say is that only merging the Mario Party ones wouldn't require a proposal, and as such, it would need another proposal for the rest. -- 03:56, July 25, 2019 (EDT)

Re:Boo Buddy Swarm
Yes, it does matter if we use it judged solely on the subjective idea that it seems "name-like" because that most likely was not the intent of the author for the reasons I've already mentioned, but at this point I'm repeating myself. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:31, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

New stubs
While they could use a tiny bit of fleshing out, there really isn't much info on either voice actor that would be considered directly relevant to the wiki, so I'm unsure if they would really count as new stubs. -- 12:54, August 5, 2019 (EDT)
 * Yeah, good point. I don’t know why there isn’t a dedicated Wario wiki for those pages, all I can find on the festering landfill that is the first few Main Page talk archives (and basically all talk pages from 2009 or earlier) is that it got merged a while back. 13:01, August 5, 2019 (EDT)

Ice Age Alley
We merge it because it's good to retain all the info -- and sometimes there's actually images or information that is yet to be put onto mario wiki. By the way, I attempt to rewrite any of the dk wiki stuff that gets carried over Results May Vary (talk) 19:46, August 13, 2019 (EDT)
 * Personally, I don't really consider something mergeworthy if the info is already there and it's poorly written, but you have a good point for the "kong letters and other dk stuff" tables. 21:25, August 13, 2019 (EDT)

Re: Reverting edits
Thanks for the info! -- 12:36, August 14, 2019 (EDT)
 * You're welcome. 12:38, August 14, 2019 (EDT)

Are you a Donkey Kong Jr. fan?
I read your userpage and you seem to like Donkey Kong Jr. a lot. Why? -A concerned citizen
 * That unfinished review section is meant to be over-the-top and ridiculous. And yes, I do like DKJR that much. 20:13, August 15, 2019 (EDT)
 * What if your fate for your sins was to play Donkey Kong Jr. for the rest of your life? -A concerned citizen
 * AAAAA! Non! Je ne souhaite pas être conquis à un jeu vidéo encore et encore! Je préfère brûler spontanément!

"Spamish" summaries
I always use the ... in my edit summaries anytime a terrible edit, vandalized edit, redundant edit or anything of the sort happens immediately after my published edits. I'm just really annoyed whenever these occurences happen, if my userpage is anything to go by. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 19:25, August 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I wasn't talking about the ... in general. I was talking about the large twenty-dot ellipsis you used. Twenty dots is going a bit overboard with the dots. 19:32, August 19, 2019 (EDT)

"Necroing" old discussions
"Necro" literally means "dead," so "necroing" would be more along the line of killing. Resurrection is "necromancing," which would not be the same thing as "necroing." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:49, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * I use "necroing" to refer to necromancing. Sorry for the confusion. 15:56, August 22, 2019 (EDT)
