Um you do know that image and the on Border Jump are duplicate or do you just want me to uploaded a pic of the Border Bros. just before they start the minigame? Lindsay151 06:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

PNGMonster
I was using PNGMonster and it said to drag and drop files. How do I do that? 21:47, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Ire allly need help with dragging and dropping please. 22:48, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

RE: Image Assistance
I assume you have an account on the MarioWiki forums? Send a PM my way in regards to the images in question that you might need my help in adding, if any. ;) --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 17:03, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Mario Paint Artwork
Hello RAP. You uploaded artwork of Mario that supposedly comes from Mario Paint. However, I'm not exactly sure about that, as I have the feeling that Mario looks more modern (less chubby, only compare Mario's legs to his shorter legs here) and the colouring and shading is also somewhat different from the other Mario Paint art. Could you tell where found the picture? --Grandy02 07:31, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * In case of replacing images, I could try to replace some of the 2D sprites saved as JPG files. On the Mario artwork: I think it is neither from Gamekult nor Gamehiker (when I visited the latter site the last time there was only art that probably came from Nintendo Power, at least not from the manual). But do you agree that it looks different from the other Mario Paint art? If yes, where to place it? I'd suggest to create a "Miscellaneous" section in Mario's gallery, as it doesn't look like that "Event Promotions" will get much bigger. I have found another artwork of Mario here that doesn't seem to belong to a particular game. And then there is all the stock art used in the 1980s and 1990s. So, what about renaming "Event Promotions" to "Miscellaneous" and adding the artwork there? --Grandy02 08:17, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * My favourite site about Nintendo in general is NinDB. On the Mario artwork, what about the "Miscellaneous" section in the gallery I suggested? I think that would be the easiest solution, and it would open the door for more artwork (e.g. that one at the linked site). --Grandy02 08:57, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I compressed the files with PNG Monster, but when I uploaded them here, the displayed file size was still the same. Not that I uploaded two images again, the file size of both the current image and the previous one is lower. Odd... --Grandy02 09:20, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * EDIT: Now the file sizes of the other files also got updated. --Grandy02 09:21, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I didn't know what was wrong with them (other than blank space in some). What has to be changed? I'm not able to make own screenshots right now, though. On FA: To be honest, I'm not that familiar with the FA process. --Grandy02 12:37, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So you mean I have to change the resolution of those enlarged screenshots to original size? --Grandy02 17:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Personal images
Thanks for deleting File:Girl time.jpg. Out of interest, if an image is worked into an article, does it count as a personal image? If so, can I upload a fourth image?--Launchballer 15:17, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Replacing Images
If you need help replacing images feel free to let me know. ForeverDaisy09 17:45, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

When you got that Baseball artwork of Daisy from Nitnendo's press site, how did you navigate the site? It seems I need some kind of authentication to get in the actual webstie or something, and I wanted to see if there were more artworks there. UhHuhAlrightDaisy 18:08, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Imaging
Hey, RAP, I'm starting the imaging process, but there are some problems. Since you're a sysop, do you think you can replace the images on user pages with the new ones I upload? --


 * Also, PNG won't download to my com because it is a .rar file. Is there any way to go around this or do I just have to download something that can open it? --


 * Okay, I downloaded it and opened it. How do I run PNG monster on it so I know I'm doing it right? --

Link's images
Sorry for bothering you, but why are Link's moves' images resized - they're so tiny!

Proposal
So this gallery proposal passed. How can I find Daisy's gallery now, and can I link to it from her page? And what about characters with small galleries like Baby Daisy? ForeverDaisy09 08:26, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Sweet, thanks. ForeverDaisy09 08:31, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

Friends?
Would you like to be friends?

Pardon any confusion about the Sonic Colors page that I was making
I hadn't realized that we banned content unrelated to mario now. I haven't been here for so long, and I hoped that this would be the same playground of things that Mario hassomehow connected with. I see that I'm wrong... so you can tell my other use friends that I'm offline here for a while... again...

Have a look at the last section of my page before i go... and if you want any last words from this user, they are as follows: "goodbye to another ruined past-life. Today, I move on to the new life. One where I'm less limited..." I'm here for one more hour, good luck stopping me.

Look around at some of those files you deleted, RAP! You may find that some of those files and pages had personalities put into them. Compare your user counts from beforemariowiki was "purged", to after. Mariowiki USED to be a freestyle site. And frankly, I HAVE been on a year ago, but I didn't create, do, or update anything until today. You people... scratch that, KIDS need to learn a thing about where modern day leads to online: freestyle posting. Bann me on this site for saying that if you must, you may be able to block my page, but you can never delete my page, It's online, so deal with it! Bah, I give up! Have fun with whatever you have left with this lost site, and consider this talk post as my retirement lines. One day, mariowiki will be begging for users like me, scraping for even one penny for funding. And when they ask me to return, i will tell them "no". I'm signing out now, good riddance to this place!

CSS
Could you please delete my css? i've decided it is too confusing. Thanks. 20:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey RAP, could you please block . If you look at their edits, they made the exact same edits as a user called Painkiller2, who was blocked by MeritC. so, i'm pretty sure it's a sockpuppet. Also, are users allowed to have subpages like this : User:Fuzzipede27/Favorite Characters? 20:34, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Juuuuump Mode
Hi, should this article be deleted: Juuuuump Mode I mean, its information can easily be covered in the Cholesteroad article. Its very short and can't be expanded. Also the Juuuuuump Mode is hard to get right creating alot of red links if someone tried. So how do I nominate it for deletion? Thanks!

Yeah thanks, I didn't know if anyone other than sysops can put the delete template or the to be deleted template on pages so thanks!

Featured Article Failures
Hey RAP! Could I (or you) remove the failed featured articles from the bottom of the FA page that failed over two months ago? I don't think they serve any purpose there after two months other than a waste of space. Thanks!
 * Um...I mean this section - if that's what you meant, can someone remove the out-of-date ones please?
 * OK, on that last topic, one more is still out there.

Hey RAP, weren't those you deleted archives? Or if they weren't, were they archived? -- 15:19, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, well, they needed to be moved to MarioWiki:Featured Articles/Feature/A1(or 2, 3, or whatever)/Article so they were archived. -- 20:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure :) -- 20:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Removal of Support/Oppose Votes
Removal of Support/Oppose Votes. That section is on every FA and unfeature nomination. To pass an unfeature nomination you need three votes and one admin vote. Many of the things have three and four votes already but lack one key element - the admin vote. Could you browse through the nominations and unfeature nominations and get to those? used to do it but he's gone mysteriously missing. Thx!

Hi Jack! I mean...Hi RAP!
I just randomly found this when I loged in:''There seems to be a problem with your login session; this action has been canceled as a precaution against session hijacking. Please hit "back" and reload the page you came from, then try again.''Could you tell me what is it? Sorry for bother.

No, I don't recall doing something unusual. I wrote my username, my password, clicked on the stay loged in box and the message popped out!

Image
Hi, I've been noticing that you've been compressing alot of images. And I have one question. How do you do that? I mean, do you edit them? Since I'm not very good at images...

Oh thanks! How about archiving your talk pages?

Thank you! But how do I move it when it comes time? Do I create a User talk:Booderdash/archive2 ? Then copy and paste it there? Also, I've seen many users have their archives have names, while its a bit silly, its still quite fun, how do i do that?

Oh that. Yeah, I was Super mario fan when I joined, but had a name change due to Luigi's Mansion. Unfortunatly I was too lazy to change it back and I figured it would already redirect me to the page. Only the contributions seems to not work, but I'll change it to Booderdash if you want me to.

Hey
Hello RAP. I would like ot know, what program do you use to compress images. For some reason mine won't work with MarioWiki images. 00:38, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering since I've never done it before, do new featured image nominations go in the front or bottom of the page?

Where? Didn't it fail?

All right then, then how do I archive all the current featured image nomintaions?

Good, good. Well, then thanks for your help. However just one thing, shouldn't there be a warning or something to stop people voting on it now?

Sig
Hi, can you fix this user's sig? It makes everything look red...

Look at the main page's talk page.

You didn't see the red paragraph in the two last headers? Anyway, the problem is gone now so I guess you fixed it!

Re: Evening
I really don't have time. 10:05, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Uh I've been playing video games I guess. 06:31, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Presentation
Thanks for signing up to present. I realized I made a mistake on the list. Favorite Mario Party Game was replaced, but Favorite Mario Kart Game is still there. Would you mind doing that one instead?

EDIT: Removed the S.

Poll
Do you know whos working on the polls and FI thing? Since I could offer to help if noone is on it at the time. 19:16, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Imagery Again
I have a dolphin emulator but its hard to get games and even harder to make them work right.

Well I don't frequent certain websites but I am the person who obtained all of Daisy's artworks even though you can't find some of the older ones anymore.UhHuhAlrightDaisy 00:44, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
