User talk:Porplemontage/Archive 5

Please help me! a hacker hacked my PC nad uses my account!!!!!!!!!!!Ruby 12:44, 29 November 2008 (EST)

You're the guy...
...who created the Bonus Stage Wiki. Therefore, since you created both the Mario and Bonus Stage Wikis, you are an awesome human being.
 * Thank you. -- 22:43, 7 February 2009 (EST)


 * Yo, don't mean to bother you, but every time I try to view my User or Talk pages, I get this:

Database error A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was: UPDATE cur SET cur_touched='20090209005137' WHERE cur_namespace=2 AND cur_title='Birdo's_Cookie' from within function "". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's_Cookie'' at line 1 (localhost)".

I recently underwent a name change; do you think that has anything to do with it?
 * Yeah, the ' is screwing it up for some reason. -- 21:15, 8 February 2009 (EST)

Template problems
Several templates of the wiki are malfunctioning, for example the character-infobox of Bowser. Can you check the issue? - 11:55, 14 July 2008 (EDT)
 * Nevermind, it was already fixed. - 14:52, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Wiki
Just to continue what Blue Koop asked, both of us would like to create a wiki. Do you know how to start a wiki that's ran by scribblewiki?
 * Looks like you want to be here to sign up for a free wiki. The rest of their plans are here. -- 23:02, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

How do I edit the wiki logo?
 * I have nothing to do with ScribbleWiki. Here. -- 23:50, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks

Xzelion
Could you please promote Xzelion to sysop. Tell him that it was my idea, as an apology for the problems I've caused.-KP Blue 23:43, 26 July 2008 (EDT)
 * What? He's barely even on the wiki. -- 01:10, 27 July 2008 (EDT)
 * KP is just trying to win his way back into Userpedia. 18:13, 27 July 2008 (EDT)
 * No it's not. And He's un-retired, remember?-KP Blue 10:24, 30 July 2008 (EDT)
 * He's un-un-retired. Get your facts straight before attempting to be a suck-up. --Blitzwing 10:26, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

 * See this page for how to rename. -- 04:05, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Hey!
How is it going steve? I haven't talk to you in awhile...
 * Going good, Fg. -- 21:44, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

What's up?
Hey Porplemontage, what's up? I haven't talked to you in basically forever. How've you been doing? Do you have Brawl. If you do, what's your Brawl Code? Mine is 2063-1004-9695 ----
 * I'm good, Aipom. I don't play Brawl. -- 10:55, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

Rudnicki Mario
Hey Steve, do you remember the user named "X06" that got blocked for a million things? He just made a sockpuppet named "Rudnicki Mario".
 * I remember that. Thanks for the heads up. -- 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

So you are the founder.
This is an awesome opportunity. It's nice to finally meet you :D
 * Likewise, thanks X. -- 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

You're welcome. --R.O.B 128 06:59, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Bot
Can I please have permission to make a bot for the chat? It would be there to assist operators with functions like quick kick, powerful bans and the like. It would not speak and would not be anoying. If you do it'll be up quite quickly. Thanks a lot, 04:08, 16 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Is that really necessary? Plus we run the risk of the bot enslaving humanity. (no) -- 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

Sad news.
We regret to inform you that the Wiki has reached its peak and is now melting into a crud-bucket. Although you are not to blame, I suggest you pull the plug on this wiki IMMEDIATELY. - SiFi is not a troll.
 * I don't get it. -- 14:21, 16 August 2008 (EDT)

The wiki is becoming a troll hive - SiFi is not a troll.

Uploading Images
Hey, Steve! Me and Garlic Man had a little conversation, and I was wondering, can you upload without things like GIMP? --Palkia47 08:27, 18 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Yes. -- 13:45, 18 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Sweet! Thanks for answering. :) --Palkia47 18:48, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

help
hi porple i have a question where do i go or how do i install a chat on a wiki?


 * 08:38, 19 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Well we used this extension but it's most likely impossible with ScribbleWiki. -- 17:03, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

HAI
Hai Porple! You're the founder of this wiki? SO AWESOME! I couldn't resist saying hai, cuz this wiki is awesome! I used awesome a lot in those sentences....
 * Hello; glad you're enjoying it. -- 20:03, 20 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I sure am! Thanks for responding!

Userpedia
Hai, steve. remember me? Anyway, if you don't mind me asking why don't you join userpedia? Its really fun. It has fan fics and comix. You could even make your own Userpedia. Alot of users would join that. I'm just asking because you made this great wiki, you could also probably make a great fan fic! Clay Mario


 * I pretty much know Steve's response already, "No thanks" Lol (  Toadbert101  |[[Image:TBPaper.PNG|30px]]|  Scream  | My comic ]|Sez:)
 * I've created an account. -- 16:15, 25 August 2008 (EDT)


 * Steve + userpedia = MC Hammer Bro. fainting.

If you get the opinion of another user, can I become a back up op on MWiki Chat? Please Steve? MC Hammer Bro. 22:37, 25 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't know your chat performance well-enough. Consult some other ops or drop it. -- 16:35, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Re:help
can you explain it to me because i don't understand wat and where is the Irc thing
 * Our IRC chat channel is accessible through Special:Chat. -- 15:32, 29 August 2008 (EDT)

Polls
Just wondering, what happens to the polls that don't get chosen? I mean, I know they won't be used that week, but are they sorta 'on hold' for later weeks? Also, if the answer to that question would be 'no', are we allowed to submit the same poll the next week? -Moonshine
 * They'll just remain on the page until they're used. If a poll is removed without being used it should not be submitted again. If the number of submitted polls pile up I'll make it daily until we start running low. -- 03:57, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Haha. Alright, thanks. =)- Moonshine

Affiliation
Hello Steve! Glitchman here, and I was just wondering if you would be so kind as to affiliate with my Wiki, the Classic Nintendo Wiki. It's pretty small right now, but it has potential and I figure affiliating with other well-known websites, such as the MW, will boost its popularity. I've already linked to the MW, and I even have an affiliate button,. 22:52, 30 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Sorry, but the answer is no. Not to be unfair, I've finally set a few strict qualifications for sites looking to affiliate. -- 00:58, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

Site Notice
You remember when we used to have the site notice at the top of the page, right?(sorry, stupid question) The thing that said stuff like "The new 'Shroom issue is out" and "We now have our own article on Wikipedia" and various other news about the wiki. And, once we got our own server, and we started getting advertisements on the top and the sides, the site notice dissapeared. I felt them to be pretty handy, and maybe they dissapeared because of the ads in the way or something, but; is there any way to get them back? I felt that it would be easier to get news around in the wiki, considering that the Site Notice Banner was there, whereever on the wiki you were. I just thought it could be nice to get those back.
 * We've very recently implemented an announcement box on the Main Page which we will use for notices that would have otherwise gone on the Site Notice. It's not on every wiki page, but it's as good as we're going to get. -- 16:39, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Wait... there's an announcement box? Where?
 * I said Main Page. It currently reads "Users: We would like some feedback, ranging from general activity to current issues." -- 20:00, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, that ' s the announcement box? I thought... it was some random thing. So, what made it so that we used to be able to do it, but not now? What would happen if we did it with the ads in there? Is there a way to eliminate the ads on the top(or do the bottom and side ones interfere, too)?

Just you know, posted some codes on my talk that supposedly could makes the sitenotice appear. However, I'm not sure they really works, especially considering he links to a non-existent page.. --Blitzwing 20:40, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * I don't want the Sitenotice to appear. If I did, it would still be up there. -- 21:22, 31 August 2008 (EDT)
 * Why don't you want it, though?
 * Ads go there now. -- 22:20, 31 August 2008 (EDT)

?
thats not wat i meant....i meant to ask can u explain to me how to install chat on a wiki i think it would be esiar if u showed me
 * I used this. There are plenty of ways and places for you to figure out chat through ScribbleWiki. -- 01:39, 1 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I used this. There are plenty of ways and places for you to figure out chat through ScribbleWiki. -- 01:39, 1 September 2008 (EDT)

Skin
May I suggest some red in the skin of this wiki? It fits.
 * You may, but I don't want this place to look crazy. You can mess around in your monobook.css and let me know how it looks. -- 17:00, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Ok. Thanks dude :) --R.O.B 128 17:04, 4 September 2008 (EDT)

Uhhh... how do I toggle with it? Can you show me? --R.O.B 128 17:07, 4 September 2008 (EDT)
 * It's for customizing the CSS code of the site. I can't teach you CSS; copy this code to your page and you can remove the parts you don't like or tweak it. I hate how light red turns to pink. Red itself is too dark for a background with text over it and I end up with a pink website. -- 15:52, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. I'll try and make it work; I don't like pink either. --R.O.B 128 22:08, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Irc
Hai its me again can you tell me where i can find my Irc Directory of my website.
 * I have no clue; there probably isn't one. -- 14:46, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

Unsolicited Feedback
Dear porplemontage, I can no longer contain myself. I need to let you know that I feel your lack of looking things up is quite disgusting. I was shocked, appalled and dismayed. I would propose that you consider asking other people, because if you do not, you may lose some population in the chat. All this may come as news to you, though I can assure you that it has been going on since I asked to be a channel operator, if not sooner. I would have informed you sooner, though I was not in a good mood and may have offended you. If you do manage to make this change, I promise to be a fantastic channel operator, which would surely be better. Thank you for your consideration.

Why I kept quiet:
 * I thought you already knew.
 * I hoped it would solve itself.
 * I expected someone else to mention it.

Why I chose to speak up:
 * You are otherwise a good person.
 * This change would improve our lives.
 * All attempts at subtlety have failed.

I implore you:
 * Do not take this personally.
 * Do not ignore this message.
 * Keep us alerted of our flaws.
 * Seek help.
 * Let us never speak of this again.

Who feels this way:  ONLY ME - EVERYONE YOU KNOW - STRANGERS, TOO (_)  (_)   (O)   (_)   (_)   (_)   (_) 

Best Wishes, CarbonFiberMan 14:25, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
 * "Looking things up"? I don't know what that means. The dictionary comes to mind. -- 14:46, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I can see how you'd see it that way... what I meant was ask unbiased people about me, like mainstreet (DarkMyst IRCer) if I would be a good chanop. Thanks again, CarbonFiberMan 16:33, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
 * This whole thing is because I won't make you an op? Really? Guess what: we don't have campaigns for channel operators. This type of thing makes you come across as needy and selfish, and can only hurt your standings. No user is entitled to a position of power; the existing ops and I keep an eye out for capable users to promote if we feel more are needed. I've yet to see the chat apocalypse as a result of you being only a normal user (God forbid), but I'll keep an eye out for it. You've certainly made my job easier when it comes to deciding who I might and might not select as an op in the future. Oh yeah, and don't take it personally. Thanks. -- 17:37, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
 * When the chat apocalypse comes, where will YOU be? -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 07:29, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Recently on Mariowiki
Er, would it be possible to add that template back on the Main Page? It's the only way the 'Shroom can be advertised. --Blitzwing 13:09, 7 September 2008 (EDT)
 * The announcement box will be used. -- 15:28, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

Spectate
Well There's a problem between User:Birdoshi and User:R.O.B 128 now I think I can handle it on my own but can you just spectate and either help me if things get ugly or aid in my final decision? Please? I wanna end this now. MC Hammer Bro. 19:48, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Okay. -- 20:20, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

It's over....
well I think I handled it pretty well if I say so my self. thank you so much for your help and support. MC Hammer Bro. 21:00, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
 * You've passed your first test; Well done. -- 21:12, 8 September 2008 (EDT)
 * I've written a comment on RAP's talk page about what a user named "R.O.B 128" has been doing in the past few hours. Can you check it? I really don't want to have to type it out again. Thanks.
 * He's broke several rules today. I don't believe his offenses (against Princess Grapes Butterfly, Ursulaboi, me, and others) are acceptable in any way. I know he firmly believes Birdo is female, but I was trying to point out that others' opinions are valid as well. Thanks. 21:16, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

New Me
The angry Robot Stooben is telling you about is no moar. I feel fresh now that I talked about the situation on my friend's proboards.

No more flaming. Now, can you tell me how to make an archive (It's part of the new me :). --☆R.O.B 128☆ 21:37, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

page for deletion
I think page Mario Bros e should be deleted. it was just created and sounds fan made. MC Hammer Bro. 14:55, 11 September 2008 (EDT)
 * It is something. -- 15:09, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

Hay
Hi Steve. Are you intrested in my comic? Yoshikart works at Userpedia full time
 * Yes. -- 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Server
Steve, I think something's up with the server, because not too long ago whenever I tried to get on the wiki, the server would ask for my log in info.
 * That was me. -- 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)

Rename
Hi Steve...again. Earlier today I put a request for a name change on the User rename page, however, the last 'crat that was online renamed a user's request, but mine seemed to be...ignored (the user who was renamed had their request right before mine). Could you do the rename?
 * Sure. -- 19:20, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Thanks.

Birdoshi
Hi Porplemontage!!! I'm Birdoshi!!, nice to meet you!!, hey (please) help me,

Q9ZtzBhqgN4 this is a template?

because.. click here: [], what's wrong?
 * Try protecting the page first. -- 01:41, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Hi Steve!! mmmm.. I'm not a sysop..
 * Well then I would advise you to ask one of them to protect it. -- 21:59, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

Sorry
Sorry about calling you numerous times on Chat. --Palkia47 15:04, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
 * No problem. -- 21:59, 17 September 2008 (EDT)

MediaWiki
Hey, Steve. I was wondering if you could help me with something? I've downloaded MediaWiki on my computer, and now I want to create a site called ' http://www.musicbank.com '. There's one problem: I don't know how to start the site. Do you know how I could activate the aforementioned URL to become my new wiki? Thanks. 20:20, 18 September 2008 (EDT)
 * musicbank.com is an existing website. Do you own the domain? You would require a domain and webhosting service first. -- 14:53, 19 September 2008 (EDT)
 * Oh, I'll change the name then. Thanks for the heads-up. No, I don't have a domain; I'll get one. Thanks for the help. :) Also, someone has made about fifteen sockpuppets, would you please block them? 15:00, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

FA
Um I nominated a feature article while ago, It became featured as it said on the talk,but,it hasn't appeared on the main page.Why is that
 * We have a bit of a buffer period. -- 23:34, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

To let everybody know.......
Hello everybody!My Name is Tabuuownsall132x2[a.k.a. that Tabuu guy,SUPER NAKED BUTTERFLY MAN!!!!!!!!!,and rarely Tabs. I will only be on chat RARELY but if you are one of my few freinds contact me at Charper132@gmail.com
 * ...Um, dude, why the heck did you edit that into the founder's talk page?
 * Great. -- 23:34, 21 September 2008 (EDT)

Crash
I noticed both the Wiki and the Forum crashed at about the same time; do you know what happened?
 * Seems to have been a minor hiccup. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 01:42, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

Ohai
Hi? You know what's going on at Userpedia and Scribblewiki? None of Scribblewiki is working.
 * No clue, sorry. -- 00:46, 26 September 2008 (EDT)

Hi howzit goin SIR STEVENESS

I says here Scribblewiki's server just is having trouble associating the subdomain with each wiki or some thing.

?
Which Website did u Get ur wiki?


 * mediawiki.org -- 21:11, 30 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanx
ok acctually i got a site at Wiki site .... and now ineed to ask you where is the Irc directory of my site? (i already installed media wiki onto mine) and can you give me instructions on how to do it (media wiki is too confusing.)

[] -my site
 * I downloaded PJIRC from here and created the directory for it. -- 20:04, 1 October 2008 (EDT)

Last Step
As you may or may not know, ScribbleWiki has completely shut down, so all of its wikis are inaccessible. Rather than making a music wiki with the MediaWiki I've downloaded, I've decided to make a new Userpedia. (Many users seem very fond of this idea.) Now, I'm on the very last step of creating Userpedia. I have a domain, server, everything I need. I have only one question.

In the file config.inc, there is a section for me to put my password and my username for the db. Could you please show me where exactly to put the db password and db username so that I can get Userpedia started? Perhaps you could copy over the section of the config.inc file, and bold the section(s) as to where I need to put my db password and db username? I, along with many other Userpedia members, would greatly appreciate your help. 12:14, 2 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I've never had to touch that file. You can Google for samples of it. -- 20:31, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Really? Thanks. It seems all the walkthroughs I could find online were for older versions that aren't supported anymore, or for foreign editions that the US doesn't get. I must be stupid because I don't understand MediaWiki's instructions. Could you please explain to me exactly how you set up the MarioWiki? If you'd prefer to do this via PM on the forums, that's fine as well. 11:18, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Are you trying to setup the database or the wiki itself? For MediaWiki all you have to do is upload its files and go to the site. There, you enter the information about the wiki and the database and the rest is done automatically. As for creating the database, I used the server's control panel. -- 17:45, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Well, I made it to the form screen. I've filled in my password, username, e-mail, domain, memcache options, and the wiki's name. The only thing that's stopping me from creating it, is when I enter my db username and db password. It says "please check username and password", or "username incorrect". I think once I pass that part, I can upload files into the wiki and actually get it started. 17:56, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Yeah, the database info it's requesting is for an existing MySQL database on your server. You'll have to create that before you can do anything else. -- 18:35, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
 * And how exactly do I do that? 19:07, 4 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Don't know for you. Like I said I use my server's control panel to create databases. -- 22:35, 4 October 2008 (EDT)

Chat
Some guys are teasing me and Firemariobros in chat, like Super-Yoshi, and Henreh, and...more!

Actually, Boozooka was dropping the f bomb telling everyone to leave Firemariobros alone. =/

Well they were teasing Firemariobros.

and they are doing the same to KM and neurario

KM wasnt even on....

Boozooka, wtf. Your the one whos swearing, and other stuff. If you just minded your own business, instead of trying to start a fight with us, we won't pick on you. We aren't teasing you, and stop dropping the F Bomb k?
 * I'm in chat now. I'll see what's going on. 19:35, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Alright, here's how things went down:

[15:39]  please pardon my language but... [15:40]  SHUT THE F*** UP ABOUT FIREMARIO!!!!!!!!!! [15:40] *** Boozooka has left #mwikiawards [15:40] *** Boozooka|Panting has joined #mwikiawards [15:40]  `ban Boozooka|Panting gtfo [15:40] *** Boozooka|Panting has been kicked by ChanServ (gtfo) [15:40] hey!!! [15:40] how dare you [15:41] *** firemariobros has been kicked by Super-Yoshi (Super-Yoshi) [15:41] *** firemariobros has joined #mwikiawards [15:41] *** firemariobros has been kicked by The_Chozo_Yoshi|Phazon_Mines (The_Chozo_Yoshi|Phazon_Mines) [15:41] *** firemariobros has joined #mwikiawards [15:42] *** firemariobros has been kicked by YoshRaptor{SY} (YoshRaptor{SY}) [15:42] *** firemariobros has joined #mwikiawards [15:42] ..

[15:46]  I GOT A DEATH THREAT! [15:46]  I GOT THROUGH! [15:46]  I WAS A TROLL! [15:46]  I GOT BLOCKED FOR A MONTH! [15:46]  DONT LET IT ALL HAPPEN TO HIM! [15:47]  AND SHUT UP WITH THE JUNK! [15:47] *** YoshRaptor{SY} has been kicked by Boozooka (Boozooka) [15:47] *** YoshRaptor{SY} has joined #mwikiawards [15:47] <The_Chozo_Yoshi|Phazon_Mines> Hell, for all we know, FM could eventually learn english and become a respected member of the Wiki. [15:48] *** YoshRaptor{SY} sets mode -o on Boozooka [15:48] <Boozooka> HEY! [15:48] <Boozooka> WAT THE HELL! [17:42] <Super-Yoshi> *takes a drink of water* [15:48] <Boozooka> SHUT UP!

 * Now, I'd like to note that the F-Bombs were not censored originally. Boozooka later went into #mariowiki and cursed and broke the rules there. Toadbert101 was the only op on at the time, and by the time he was back, Boozooka left. I think we need more ops in #mariowiki. ...And I'd like to suggest that Super-Yoshi be one of those ops, as he was on #mariowiki at that time. And perhaps Pokemon DP; he's on every night and doesn't break the rules. 20:11, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Okay. And for the record, #mwikiawards is not an official channel of the MarioWiki. I don't own that one, so it is the responsibility of whoever does. -- 22:24, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Ah. I thought that you had domain over #mwikiawards and #mwikiadmins. Sorry. 22:33, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure about #mwikiadmins, but #mwikiawards should be covered by Wayoshi, I'm guessing. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 23:40, 10 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Actually GJ, owns it currently.
 * Perhaps 1337Yoshi would make a good Operator too. He's on every day, is nice, doesn't spam or flame. He's got the qualifications. I don't plan on nominating anyone else though. 18:30, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

MK Wii
Do you want to be freinds on mario kart wii my freind code is 3952 9504 7947. 21:02, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I really don't play anymore. -- 18:57, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Thats too bad.

chatroom
Hi I was wondering if you knew how to make a chatroom as it seems to be the best way to spreed info to alot of users at once.
 * Nope. -- 18:57, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Mario
There seems to be a problem with the 'block new users' feature on the Mario article. M&SG, who has been here for over 1 month, still cannot edit the article; whereas, other users who are newer than him can. Any ideas on what to do? 17:00, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I have no clue. -- 15:08, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Who is in charge of the protection system? It would be good to find out to how many days it's set. - 15:38, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
 * I thought it was 15 days, but M&SG being unable to access Mario tends to prove that theory wrong. 15:41, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
 * It's 30 days. -- 23:13, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Ah, that explains it. He wasn't here for 30 days yet at that time.  17:06, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

MW upload
steve for some reason i can't edit upload to go to Image Use Policy -- 17:38, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
 * That's because it redirects to a page at mediawiki.org. The "MW" in the link is what causes the glitch. 17:48, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
 * We probably don't need it. -- 00:38, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

Problems with the server lately
Hello Steve, do you have any idea how much your bandwidth bill costs? Just curious. :3 Eariler Wayo once said that we all have the bandwidth we need, hence the talk archives I have stored with that comment. That statement may lead me into upload more images, some having larger file size and some small. >;3 Now recently, we are having server issues right now. One of the reasons of this cause is hotlinking. Basically other websites use our images and link them to their website as theirs, what's worse is that they are sucking our bandwidth! The server! (sigh) One of the reasons alas. For more information, read this page and this page for further information. Please take the time to confront this. Me haz headache... ow. Recovering tomorrow... *tries going to sleep*
 * Hotlinking is not one of the reasons for server issues. If bandwidth became tight I would disable it but for now it's not an issue. -- 00:36, 31 October 2008 (EDT)

1337Yoshi
I think it would be good to promote him to Op in chat. He's on everyday, follows the rules, is nice, and immediately informs an Op when there's trouble. (Unless there isn't one around.) 15:54, 2 November 2008 (EST)
 * I would have done it a lot sooner if you had provided the proper nick. -- 16:25, 2 November 2008 (EST)
 * Oh, I forgot he put a "_" before his name. XP 16:30, 2 November 2008 (EST)

Swearing
Us users aren't suppose to swear on this wiki right? I found a swear in the proposal page. (I tried censord it but he undo what I did then relied this in the summary bar (→Comments - "I. Don't. Freaking. Care. Do not modificate other users comment! That's in the freaking rules")
 * "Damn" is a really, really mild "swear". If it was the f-bomb, I could understand, but that? It's not even offending if you're not Christian. --Blitzwing 07:48, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Mario Calendar
Hi Porple.

I made a Mario Calendar to go for the Main Page, and it's sorta like Wikipedia's "On this day". This calendar shows all past release dates of Mario games released on that month. For example, right now it's November so the calendar shows all past Mario games that were released on November. I think it's a great idea and before putting it on the Main Page, I wanted to see if you approved.


 * Link to test page

Soo...can it go on the Main Page?
 * It's not bad; somewhat interesting. Make a proposal for it, and if it passes I'll be the one to put it up. -- 19:05, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Hi
Hi! I'm Mario304 and I've joined this wiki two months ago. I heard you're the founder of the Super Mario Wiki so I just want to say, can we be friends?

Mario304.
 * Yes. -- 19:05, 3 November 2008 (EST)

Request
Hi Steve, i have been wanting for a lon time to make a spanish version of the page, and as you are the owner of the page, could you give me permission to do that?
 * No. -- 18:19, 4 November 2008 (EST)

 * Yes. -- 20:14, 28 November 2008 (EST)
 * Sorry, YouTube won't let me post it here. :( It has so many bugs it's not even funny anymoar. Here's the link. □R.O.B. 128□ 20:25, 28 November 2008 (EST)

Calender Templates
Hey Steve, I think you should protect the two templates before vandalism can happen to them. Just thought I'd tell you, sry if you already knew.
 * Good call, sport. -- 00:27, 12 November 2008 (EST)
 * lol thx :P

I just wonder...
...may I create the rest of the calendars for the rest months of the year, already? Creating them all at the same time seems to save some time, since when creating them at different times, you don't need to go back to lists when checking on the Internet just because that or that game was released in another month than the one you're collecting Mario data on, the same thing when looking after dates in magazines, newspapers, etc.
 * I was expecting Paper Jorge to get on that, but since he hasn't by all means you may. The December page and template should obviously be our first priority. Thanks. -- 15:08, 19 November 2008 (EST)

Birthday
Hiya, Steve. Happy Birthday! :) I hope it was a good one. 02:12, 23 November 2008 (EST)

Thank you for using my 1st logo. I changed the background of the newer versions. The pictures are now all in the same format, also game pictures are reorganized and some even replaced. Games in the background of the new logo include in order: The old logo included in order: Personally, I like MarioWikiLogo3-1 better than 3-2, but someone once said to me he liked yellow better than white-pink, that’s why I made two versions.

Thank you for making me to a Sysop. =D I do my best to protect the Wiki. 13:00, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * You're welcome. -- 13:14, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * Yeah, about that. We'd like some feedback from you on this promotion. Thanks. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 15:09, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * I talked to one of you. -- 16:47, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * You only referred that "one of you" to another sysop, reportedly. Even if that's not the case, be the leader you're supposed to be and TALK about the situation, please – to all of us. 18:44, 29 November 2008 (EST)
 * I don't say this often, but Per Wayo.

Proposals
There's a guy called Inuyasha Zero who claims that Mario have official hentai (Adult stuff for Japanese)! Is it true??? I'm not interested in seeing it but is it canon???Kastle Kaos 17:51, 30 November 2008 (EST)
 * Canon, no. To cover any concerns you may have, Steve, the discussion hasn't devolved into smut and wont. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]]Chris[[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 18:24, 30 November 2008 (EST)

Listen
I really need to talk to you. Next time you're on AIM, or on chat, or something. Just not here on the talk pages. Please, it's important. 18:52, 1 December 2008 (EST)

Hey!
Just thought I'd formally introduce myself, since we hardly know each other and I assume we'll be working closely in the future! Nice to meet you. Can you give me a run-down on what's expected of me now that I'm promoted? 23:21, 1 December 2008 (EST)
 * Good to hear from you, Stumpers. Of course technically, I've entrusted you with the power to manage user rights on the wiki. Your prominence as a figure on the wiki stage, judgment, and activity on the site are qualities which contributed to your promotion, and in this period of transition, I will allow you some leeway in finding your place as a wiki bureaucrat. I may call upon you, as well as our colleagues Stooben Rooben and Time Q, for your unique perspective on the wiki community if any decisions are needed to be made. From trouble in wikiville to improvements to the website, I trust any input to be reported to me, and the four of us can decide what action to take. These types of things being the exception and not the rule--it's all part of our hierarchy of power. There are issues facing the wiki that sysops can deal with, but for the larger issues, we have the bureaucrats to turn to. I would advise you to keep doing what you've been doing, and you'll fall into place as bureaucrat of the Super Mario Wiki. -- 00:47, 2 December 2008 (EST)
 * Just keep doing the same thing? Sounds good to me!  Thanks for the promotion and I'll see you around!  10:22, 2 December 2008 (EST)

And on top of that, I'd like to sincerely thank you for promoting me. I promise to do the best I can with my powers! 00:18, 2 December 2008 (EST)
 * You are welcome. I believe in you. -- 00:47, 2 December 2008 (EST)

Can I use the old wiki logo?
Hello! On the italian Mario Wiki(http://it.mario.wikia.com/wiki/Pagina_principale), the logo is the old one of this wiki, and somebody told me that: so I'm asking you: can I use it (giving credits)? If not, I'll remove it. Thanks for the attention :) --Enderjin 14:04, 6 December 2008 (EST)
 * I'm not going to say no, but I would advise you to create your own site design and images. Your wiki would probably do better if your visitors saw that it is something original, and not just a carbon copy of another site. -- 17:58, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Hi, I'm one of the admins on the Italian Mario Wiki. I've changed a lot of things: (you may need to refresh the cache of the browser to see the changes). I will soon change everything that is too similar to this Wiki. For the pages content, I must say that we are not copying, but translating the english articles in italian. I hope you will accept our apologies for all the mistakes we made. Thanks. --Grim80 09:31, 9 December 2008 (EST)
 * Paraphrasing our articles still is kinda copying. Contributors should use their own words. 15:53, 9 December 2008 (EST)

No, translating is not copying. It is a common practice even on Wikipedia. --Grim80 08:31, 10 December 2008 (EST)

It not!? What do you mean. Your site translating this sites' article and other stuff to Italian right. That is still stealing because in your site users are just tranlating work that came from here. Sheese laziness is no excuse why can't the users on the Italian MarioWikia right their own contant. Anyways isn't MarioWiki's work is copyright? What about asking your sister site MarioWikia in English to use their contant, you're the same wikia but yours is in Italian while theirs is in english. 

Eww that Wikia's articles are very bad. Anyway, don't be so negative about us. Our itention was never been to steal. We didn't know that we were violating the copyright. If you don't want us to translate te articles, I will create articles of my own. I'm not lazy... the only lazy users are those who create an article with only a small sentence. Anyway, I promise that wel'll cite the source if something is translated from here. --Grim80 14:54, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Grapes, you need to take it easy. The purpose of wikis is to encourage free flow of information across the internet. Anything on this wiki can be used and redistributed freely by anyone else according to the GNU Free Documentation License at the bottom of every page here. Our work is not really copyrighted in a strict sense - anyone including the Italian Mario wiki can use our content. All they have to do is cite where they got the information from as best they can. So I say to Grim80 feel free to translate anything you want from here, just try to cite that we were the original source. We need to get past exclusive "ownership" of information so that everyone has the ability to read and use content as they wish. =) --

Well then excuse me for my uneasy. I'm sorry up what I said up above. =D

Thanks for the clarification Son of Suns. I will immediately cite the source on any page translated from here. --Grim80 15:21, 10 December 2008 (EST)

Thanks!! P.S. Here are the rules: Creative Commons. Italian Mario wiki can do whatever it wants with our content except use it to make money. All they have to do is attribute the articles they copy or translate to this site (via at least a link) and promise that their translated content can then be re-distributed by other wikis, just as we have let them use our content. =D

 * Chat rules are here. They can be revised as needed; enforcement is the real challenge. -- 23:58, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Mariowiki Forum
There's stuff going on the Mod board. Go there.

PS: It'd be bloody nice if you actually visited it without having to be asked. Or alternatively, you should really gives someone more active promotion powers so we don't have the rely on the same busy guy. --Blitzwing 06:01, 20 December 2008 (EST)
 * Good idea. Current Global Moderators can now promote people to Global Mods right here. -- 14:58, 20 December 2008 (EST)

Pardon me...
Sorry to bother you with this, but something's wonky with my Java. Whenever I attempt to access the chat, it gives me this error message:

http://img37.picoodle.com/img/img37/3/12/29/f_untitledm_98aa507.png

Is there anything you can give me to download, like a "certificate file" (.csr/.p12 file) that I can import to my Java to make it stop whining? Or do you know of any ways to "authenticate" the chat room manually?

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'd really appreciate some help.


 * I do not have any such files, sorry. You may need to lower your security settings. -- 03:41, 1 January 2009 (EST)

Poll Selection
Are you the one whose supposed to delete opposed or repeated polls in the poll selection? -

Hey, Steve! Well, I've got something to say. I think we you should enforce some new rules in the Poll Selection. Here's a list of them:


 * 1) Repeated polls sholud be DELETED, like this one.
 * 2) If a poll is "losing" with a certain difference of votes (could be 5 or 6, IMO), then it would be deleted too. E.g. a poll has 2 supporters and 8 opposers, so it should be deleted.
 * 3) If a poll is created with a REALLY BAD setup, and if at least two users say that, it should be deleted too.

Well, I hope you read this soon. Have a nice day! 07:26, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * I try to do a cleanup taking care of said issues every little while. My main job is selecting one of the popular polls to use; any other sysop can help with removing bad polls. -- 05:27, 10 January 2009 (EST)

not me. User:Galactic Metal previously known as palkia47, lost his password, and made another user, User:Meta Galactic. Can u help him at all? YourBuddyBill 19:04, 10 January 2009 (EST)
 * If he used an email with his account, he can have a new password sent. -- 19:07, 10 January 2009 (EST)

he didnt, but is it possible for someone like u to acess his page and copy the whole thing, then give it to him in a "code box"?
 * Anyone can view the source code for the page using the "view source" tab at the top. -- 16:27, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Feedback
Heya. I'd like it if you could give some feedback on this, particularly the part about getting the Patroller rank reinstalled. Thanks. 23:29, 10 January 2009 (EST)
 * Yes. -- 04:18, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks! 04:54, 11 January 2009 (EST)
 * There seems to be some sort of problem. The patrollers can't access Special:BlockIP. 20:25, 11 January 2009 (EST)

Userpedia
This may be asking a lot from you, but would it be possible for Userpedia to have a sub-domain of the MarioWiki, or something of the sort? Ever since the crash of ScribbleWiki, Userpedia has been bouncing from wiki farm to wiki farm, but we can't find one that's really that good. Either, the wiki farm has an image restriction, or it lacks important administrative tools that we need. Because of the bouncing between twelve (I think) wiki farms, we've lost a lot of our members. However, I have the strong feeling that, should we find a good home for Userpedia, the majority of our members will return.

We've tried Wikia, Editthis, Referata, NeoWiki, Iskey.info, and many other hosts; none of them are really good. I know this is probably a lot to ask, but we're becoming desperate; we've been trying to find a good host since September. If we can't find a good home soon, Userpedia will probably end up dying. Thanks. 20:08, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * Either way you answer Steve, you will still be epic.
 * Sorry, but we really can't risk adding another wiki to the server because it could slow down this wiki and cause more downtime. I've actually considered doing this before. -- 20:44, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * No problemo, Steve. --
 * I understand. Thanks for responding. 20:57, 31 January 2009 (EST)

Hi!! ^,^
I have a problem, on the Birdo article- (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars), this section:

is too long, Can I improve it? I have a idea, click here: http://www.mariowiki.com/User:Coincollector ( Coincollector's Userbox Tower) did you see? How can I do that? ^__^;
 * I don't know if the scrollbars are the way to go. It doesn't look bad having the next section(s) wrap next to the box. -- 00:49, 6 February 2009 (EST)

Well, thank you very much!!!!!!!! -,^

Spell Checker
Heyo, Steve. I don't know if you feel it should be installed, but I thought you might like to know that I found a spell check extension. This might help with any typos or bad grammar that we run across. Plus, I'm sure you could install common Mario words into the checker. (Ex: Wario, Yoshi, Waluigi, etc.) 00:00, 8 February 2009 (EST)
 * It should not be installed. -- 00:33, 8 February 2009 (EST)

MediaWiki Help
I just got Userpedia's new domain up at userpedia.adriels.com, and I'm wondering. How do you add the Steward and Patroller ranks to a wiki? I looked on MediaWiki's website, but I didn't find anything.
