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) Swear your allegiance to King Bowser
 * 2) No funny hats
 * 3) No nosepicking
 * 4) Be polite towards me and towards each other
 * 5) Try to type properly (I won't go grammar-nerd on you but please make it understandable)
 * 6) 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.
 * 7) I understand German, but it is likely that I will answer in English nevertheless
 * 8) No flaming, unless you have a Fire Flower! Flames will be removed without comment.

Wario Land Names
Hello Edofenrir. Since you are one of the most active Wario Land writers here, I'd like to know your opinion on this. If it is accepted, I'd do the same for the relevant enemies of the original Wario Land (and a few ones in WL2 and 3). --Grandy02 14:59, 20 December 2009 (EST)
 * Maybe you can also tell your opinion on this issue? The user Mecha-Boss Unit has moved several of the articles with the Japanese names to English names that are taken from an official English guide according to him. The problem is, there is no confirmation for the guide's existence. After a conversation with him, he said the guide doesn't have an entry at Amazon anymore because they "just took the entry off." I couldn't find any information on the Internet, which isn't surprising since the guide "sold out in about 6 minutes" according to him. But notably, a name I just made up ("Hammer Warrior") is also the name in said guide. I already talked to Twentytwofiftyseven, and he isn't positive about the guide's existence. What do you think? --Grandy02 06:58, 25 December 2009 (EST)
 * Okay. Well, personally, I'm also not convinced. Should his moves and edits simply be reverted? --Grandy02 14:32, 26 December 2009 (EST)

Userpage creation?
So I've been here for a week and tomorrow it will be 8 days. Does my page get created for me after 7 days or am I doing something wrong when trying to create my page? Answers would be nice since I've read the auto-confirmed page about 4 times.

Userbox tower?
SO I made it but it seems wrong, very wrong. I've tried to fix it several times but it still looks the same and sticks to the center while boxing in everything below it along with it. >_> How do I fix this?

When you deleted that fan vote on Luigi's request to a featured article...
...how come you didn't get rid of half of the other fan votes supporting him?
 * So if the vote doesn't have anything to do with the article, it can be deleted? Then how about No. 17, 30 and 31?

Wario Land II FA
Hello Edofenrir, do you have any plans to nominate the Wario Land II article for FA status? There are few things I'd like to talk about, but I think it's very nice, you really put a lot of work into it. --Grandy02 15:24, 30 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks. :-) Nice to read that you had the same thoughts. Here are the things I'd like to talk about. Sorry for nitpicking. ;-)
 * Per the first English release guideline, we would have to use the American box art in the infobox, since it was released earlier.
 * When has the Black Sugar Gang been called the Black Sugar Pirates? I only read Black Sugar Gang in the manual, which is a literal translation of the Japanese name (they have always been the Black Sugar Gang in Japanese, not "Brown Sugar Pirates").
 * What is called "transformations" in the article, and also named as such in the articles of those forms (the category is "Wario's Transformations", too), is called "conditions" in the English WL2 manual and "reactions" in both the English WL3 and WL4 manual. It's generally "reactions" in Japanese releases. Maybe the term reactions describes it better, since Wario doesn't really "transform" when his butt burns or when he is crazy/drunk.
 * There is a guideline that characters, items and so on have to be referred to as they were named when the game was released. This might also go for Wario's forms (reactions). Flaming Wario was originally Hot Wario, while Frozen Wario isn't mentioned in the WL2 manual, but was given the name Ice Skatin' Wario in the WL3 manual.
 * We already talked about the Giant Spear Man's role, the speculation still has to be removed. In my opinion, there's actually a bit too much of emphasis for this enemy, e.g. by calling him the "true final boss" or by placing him under "main characters" in the WL2 template. In my opinion, it's just a mini-boss based on a common enemy. We don't even know if it is always the same character or if there are several Giant Spear Men, and I don't see what would make him (or them) a "main character."
 * Why are so many words in the story titles (levels) capitalized even though they aren't spelled this way in the game? I don't know a guideline that would dictate that (e.g. there's King Koopa's mother).
 * On the English enemy names again: The American website mentions bats, sawfish, eels and birds. Everything is uncapitalized, like the "giant snake" and the "giant bee." Do you think those can be seen as the "official" (and extremly generic) names? Of course, only in case of this game, since almost all of its English names are that generic, that doesn't go for other Wario Land games.
 * For the remaining enemies with conjectural enemies, I will try to find their official Japanese names like I did for Wario Land 4, but not before there is a decision on the previous point.
 * Under Reference to Other Games: I think seeing the yoyo as an EarthBound reference is a bit too far fetched. I don't think we should include more treasure references than mentioned here, everything else is too speculative in my opinion. All the other listed games and WL2 are in-house creations by Nintendo, but not EarthBound.
 * That's all for now. ;-) --Grandy02 07:46, 31 December 2009 (EST)

Re: Unknown Name
Sorry, I know this enemy, but not its name. Besides the ones from the manual, I don't know any more names than listed at Talk:Wario Land 3. In case of the Japanese dictionary, I haven't found out how I can search for entries related to a specific game (WL3 in this case). But that's not the only WL3 enemy whose name is still missing. --Grandy02 11:12, 1 January 2010 (EST)
