Image that's not related to Mario series!

Is in User:Alex95.  Music Video 123  (talk) 10:54, 26 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes? Stephan is a character I created. We are allowed to have up to four personal images on the wiki, and the image of Stephan is one of mine. 10:58, 26 July 2017 (EDT)

Super Paper Mario edit
How is that Mario Party reference not a reference? I don't understand that. Please explain. 22:48, 26 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I know I've barged in a lot, but I'll go ahead and do it again. Given how obscure a reference that would be, it's more than likely a coincidence. Especially given he was brainwashed. 22:10, 26 July 2017 (CT)
 * There's also no evidence that it is referencing Mario Party. It's also very rare for the Paper Mario series to reference the Mario Party series, so this just seems like a stretch. 23:13, 26 July 2017 (EDT)

RE:DKCTF Image
So do all DKCTF screenshots that I have uploaded lately go against the policy? I used the Wii U Image Share service to take them, and they were originally jpg images. Should every single one be deleted and recaptured in jpg, or can they just be converted back to their original format? --
 * Okay, then... there's a grand total of about 350 pictures that were originally jpg (counted from when I started uploading in PNG format), so I'm gonna need a wee bit of help :)
 * I used Photoshop to simply save them as PNGs. After you reply to this message, I will start saving the existing images, then I will convert them back to JPEG in Photoshop, as I am not willing to download any other conversion software. Problem is, the size of the converted JPEG file is bigger than that of the raw JPEG file, and I have deleted almost all original images. I messed up so badly, sorry for being so stupid... Hold on, I discovered they were just lurking in the Recycle Bin. Not all of them, but most; I don't have the pictures from here anymore. As for level and Capsule Toy Machine-related images, they're up and about! --
 * Alright! We should get started, but how do we organize ourselves? Will you begin by deleting the PNGs one-by-one as you said and then I come and replace them with JPEGs, or vice-versa? --

Just to clarify policy (because I proposed it and it passed), the conversion did shouldn't have happened in the first place. It was so much effort with little payoff. The policy applies to both JPEGs that weren't uploaded to yet as well as already uploaded JPEGs being converted to PNG. It was meant to defend against uploads like File:Thwomp Wario's Woods.png, originally done by, but eventually redone by me. Another protection is fan transparency on JPEGs of artwork, because JPEGs are incapable of transparency. Editors should just wait to see if a lossless alternative turns up. This shouldn't be confused with recaptures, which I do and doesn't violate the policy in any way. A lot of confusion stems from what the difference is between conversion and replacing and how JPEG and PNG formats work. If that needs to be clarified, just ask me about it. Editing this wiki has gotten me ridiculously experienced with image formats. -- 16:39, 30 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes, yes, I know! My actions were driven by the thought that someone would apply PNG Monstrous on the images and that would make them more compact. I had forgotten the image policy, though I had read it beforehand. So my decision to convert the pictures to PNG after taking them was idiotic to put it shortly. Sorry for that. --

Italics
You claimed on an anon's talk page that italics shouldn't be used for Kodansha manga. Manual of Style contradicts this, saying print publications should be. This is done with Nintendo Power, so I don't see why Kodansha should be different. 12:08, 1 August 2017 (EDT)

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up! 01:11, 2 August 2017 (EDT)

File revisions
Hey, can you please delete the two other file revisions for File:SMB-Line-Mario-1UP.gif? I got the latest one to display correctly, but the two broken revisions are severely slowing down the file's load time. Thanks! 05:57, 4 August 2017 (EDT)

Watch
Hi, could you please move Watch to Watch (enemy) and also move Watch (Mario's Time Machine) to Watch? I'd do it myself, but I'm currently stuck with a mobile device and can't move the pages myself. Thanks! 10:54, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Watch, or even Watch (item), could be easily confused for a Stop Watch or a Timer. I do not support moving it. 10:57, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * In that case, it might be good to create a disambiguation page for that reason, maybe Watch (disambiguation)...?
 * It's also worth noting that articles with conjectural titles usually get identifiers over similarly-named nonconjectural articles; in this case, the Wario Land enemy should have an identifier. 12:20, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * The enemy's name is not conjectural, it's official from another language. 14:47, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Oh, well in that case, let's just move Watch (Mario's Time Machine) to Watch (item) and create a disambiguation page. 15:11, 8 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I already covered that in my other post. 16:05, 8 August 2017 (EDT)

Vandalism
Is there any reason why the edit summaries on Super Mario Sunshine were hidden, but not the revisions themselves? Niiue (talk) 01:43, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Re: Vandal
Alright, I just wasn't sure if it'd be a good idea to leave the page in the unique state it was in, especially since I wasn't sure when an admin would be on. Niiue (talk) 01:49, 13 August 2017 (EDT)

Proposal
Since I no longer agree with my reasoning behind it, can you cancel my proposal to delete Template:Goals? Judging by the rules on Proposals, I just missed my window of opportunity to do so myself. Niiue (talk) 05:30, 15 August 2017 (EDT)
 * Alright, thanks! Niiue (talk) 05:49, 15 August 2017 (EDT)

Maintenance move
Hi, could you please move Proposals Talk Archive 1 to MarioWiki talk:Proposals/Archive 1 without leaving a redirect? Thanks! 11:10, 16 August 2017 (EDT)
 * On second thought, could you please move the three comments from the latter page onto the former and then delete and move? Thanks! 11:12, 16 August 2017 (EDT)

Image Quality
Does moving an image to a new name change the image's resolution/quality in any way, because I moved File:Mkwii MooMeadows.jpg to File:MooMooMeadows MKWii.jpg and now it appears much blurrier on the course's page than it did before. 01:45, 17 August 2017 (EDT)

Why some crossover games allowed in this wiki
Mario and Sonic, Fortune Street and Super Smash Bros. includes Mario but includes non-Mario character such as Link.  Music Video 123  (talk) 02:08, 25 August 2017 (EDT)


 * Coverage 02:30, 25 August 2017 (EDT)

Coins
Your recent edits made me curious about something: is it Coin (with a capital C) or coin (with a lowercase c)? The Coin page uses the lowercase coin near-consistently, but I've seen articles use both. 22:27, 25 August 2017 (EDT)
 * That's very helpful and not at all frustrating for this encyclopedia of ours. Maybe it'd be worth making a proposal to set a standard? Something akin to the one we had for minigame/mini-game. 22:38, 25 August 2017 (EDT)
 * I should probably space out my proposals more, especially since I'm still working on the archive and the MTM articles, but I'm too used to striking while the iron is hot. The coin proposal's up here. 00:18, 26 August 2017 (EDT)

RE:Phantom
Yes, I was, actually. 15:18, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Question
A bit late, but is there any reason you added a "Species Origin" section to the T-Rex infobox, despite the proposal to stop listing things as sub-species of generic species (as well as "species origin" being replaced with "parent species")? Just wondering if I missed something is all. Niiue (talk) 06:35, 31 August 2017 (EDT)

Can I go through the categories for them now? Looks like you're focusing on quotes and music now. I just wanna help. 00:06, 1 September 2017 (CT)

Restore and Immediately Delete
Please restore File:800px-Flag of the United Kingdom svg.png and then immediately delete it again, but this time, specifying the delete reason specified by the tag of the image. -- 01:44, 3 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Thanks for that quick fix. The reason is for those people who still link to the duplicate image. -- 01:55, 3 September 2017 (EDT)

@JC Maybe he's leaving the Mushroom Kingdom, but he's not leaving the planet. It'd still have a place on the globe. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:42, 4 September 2017 (EDT)

RE: Chef Bro
I can't remember which page I saw it on, but I saw that name on another article and added it to the SMO page. I probably should've made sure it was sourced before I added it though. 00:33, 5 September 2017 (EDT)

Images
Hi, so wants to upload images on the battle maps in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle he created himself, but also wants to know if there are any additional permissions required to upload them. I don't see anything about permissions in Image use policy, so if you could, could you please direct me to any policy that points out any permissions on self-published images? Thanks! 10:20, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Proposal archive
With this recently passed proposal, old proposals should be updated to reflect the date that they were canceled or withdrawn. I can take care of the talk page proposals easy enough, but the main proposals are in protected archives. There isn't exactly a neat solution for taking care of this, especially since not every archive has a withdrawn proposal and the archive's history pages aren't always indicative of when the proposals were pulled (though time doesn't matter per the proposal, the date may still be off by a day). For the moment, I'm digging through the main proposal's history page and collecting dates (something I should have done before, I'm aware), but when everything is set for editing the archives, how should it be done? Would it be more appropriate to unprotect the necessary archives and let me edit them, or tell an admin what edits need to be done and let them do it? 22:28, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I'll be sure to do that once I actually make the list. 22:44, 9 September 2017 (EDT)
 * While I was digging through the archives, I came across a proposal that was canceled by its proposer but never added to the archive. Going by its date, it would fit into Archive 17 and require a lot of shuffling around to accommodate... supposing that it's archived, of course. Rule 12 says that "All proposals are archived," but at this point, should this one still be archived? 23:04, 9 September 2017 (EDT)

Finally finished the list! In short, the archives that need to be edited are #2, #4, and everything after #15 except for #25. I'll also try to slot in the proposals that weren't archived. 17:31, 10 September 2017 (EDT)
 * I've finished! The necessary proposals have been updated, and I've slotted in the missing proposals I noticed (barring one; I'm waiting on some clarification from the original person who removed it). Thank you very much for your help! 17:56, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Pardon, but is there a reason that the archives between 10 and 19 aren't protected? 23:07, 11 September 2017 (EDT)
 * Ghost Jam gave me the go-ahead to archive it, so #43 can be protected. 18:00, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Locations in SMO
Wouldn't it be more appropriate to give those locations articles, especially if they're named? The Llama's Temple's temple isn't merged with Angry Aztec, Hotel Delfino isn't merged with Sirena Beach, Behind the Waterfall isn't merged with Hazy Maze Cave, and I'm sure there are other examples. It seems likely that people would be searching specifically for them, so I don't see why we need to compress them into other articles. 21:40, 16 September 2017 (EDT)

Looking for advice
Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to make proposals more "visible" to users that doesn't involve canvassing, because the proposals I currently have up have rarely, if ever, been voted on so far. Any suggestions? 08:12, 18 September 2017 (EDT)

Stop changing the image for the Standard MR for its artwork. It is supposed to be its model.

Not sure of what was in that article, but if this is anything to go by, it could have easily have been expanded and not be a stub. Unless of curse Bonneton has an article. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:34, 21 September 2017 (EDT)
