Welcome to my page! It’s nice to know that someone is interested in me… unless you’re a stalker. Maybe you’ve come to ask for a favor? You can see what I like to do on this page, and I love editing when I get in the right mood. Please post on my talk page if you're interested. For those haters who don’t believe in my skills, please check out any of my featured articles. I’ve put a lot into changing them…

Nothing big to report today, but in honor of the release of Pokémon Battle Revolution, I updated the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection articles accordingly, as it is the first title to offer online game play for the Wii. For those wondering, July 30 is the planned release for Super Mario Strikers. Yeah... the day after my birthday. Good timing, Nintendo. Oh, well. It's not like I would ask for a Wii at its current price.

Sorry for keeping you waiting. I have been writing my Stumpification of Donkey Kong. I've posted my work, that ends after the section about Donkey Kong 64. Ugh... and I thought ports messed up Super Mario 64...

On a side note, I embraced my inner politician and am trying to move the Big Eight article to Big Eight, so it would serve as a guideline and not as actual canon. The thing is, we invented the concept, so why are we calling it canon? It belongs in the MarioWiki category, where our special Wiki stuff goes. The same applies to Marioverse actually, but people don't really want to let it go yet. Yeah, I know I'm being moderate. If you want to get involved, look at the Proposals page.

You can see a partial Stumpification of the Donkey Kong article. My edit effects the article up to, but not including, the Donkey Kong Country section. Also, the images haven't been edited, so don't blame me!

I've recently been throwing around the idea of taking a vacation from the Wiki. If this happens, I would definately plan to return. I just wanted to post so I would feel like I could take the vacation if I wanted to. I just have so much I want to get done, including resuming working out. Nothing like a family members having heart problems to make you want to hit the track. So, this probably wouldn't be a very defined vacation, as I'm very much into playing life by ear during summer break. Just know that if I don't update for a while, you shouldn't worry... yet.

Please view the recently "Stumpified" Rollout article!

14 June 2007
Today I continued to add more information to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection article. Really, check it out. The history section is pretty sweet.

On a side note, the Great Gonzo is a fan of the black bear pic! This means someone actually checks this page! Sweet! For those wondering what I'm talking about, check here.

11 June 2007
I've "Stumpified the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection article. Check it out.

I fell into the Abyss article, and I was forced to Stumpify it to stay alive. I must remember to carry more 1-Up Mushrooms. Remember this when you vote for "most addicted user".

Oh, and if anyone who owns Super Paper Mario could edit the article to reflect the addition of Underwhere into the series, that would be appreciated. I'm sorry, but I refuse to spoil a Paper Mario game.

I've uploaded lots of nice images for the Tetris DS article... and had some naming and deleting issues... Yeah, I'm expecting to get reemed out pretty soon... a moderator went ahead and did everything I told him I was planning to do out of the goodness of his heart... but I mentioned the wrong file name. Ugh. What an idiot I can be!

Oh, yeah. Remember, kiddies! Vote for Uncle Stumpers in the Wiki voting whenever the user awards come... you know you want to see more of my bumbling!

9 June 2007
Awards voting starts TOMORROW?! Whoa! I hope people think of me! That means you! :) Drop me a line if you want my vote. Just convince me by showing me your articles.

8 June 2007
Pictures have been added to the Tetris DS article by your's truly. However, the article still has some problems. If you'd like to help, even if you don't have the game, check out the game's Talk Page or read through part of it for grammatical or spelling errors. If anyone knows how to rename picture files, please comment on my talk page. I accidentally uploaded one as its original file name, a bunch of letters and numbers, instead of one that makes sense.

In related news, I don't have the game either... oh, what you can find on the Internet these days!

7 June 2007
Please check out the recently "Stumpified" Tetris DS! Images coming soon.

Please excuse my lack of updates! No one seems to be on the Wiki lately anyway, and I was busy. So be quiet. It's not like anyone actually reads these. Anyway, I'm working on a "Stumpification" (total rewrite) of the Tetris DS article. It's going pretty good, but I have to hurry before the game becomes just another part of that silly Game Sightings article. I mean, come ON! We're a specialty Wiki! We don't go combining articles like a full blown Wikipedia! Gah! Oh, yeah. And it should be "Cameos in Other Games", thank you very much. Grrrr... I'm in fight mode. Hiya!

4 June 2007
I created the Super Mario Bros. Stamps article. Take a look. I think you'll like what you see.

3 June 2007
Recently created a signature. Let's see how it looks, shall we? 19:11, 3 June 2007 (EDT)

Gentlemen (and all one of the ladies out there), that took way too much time.

Stumpers' Services
Need a favor? Here's what I like to do... so if you need any of these things, drop me a line. Remember, no promises... I'm a kinda busy person.

Stumpification
This is one of my favorite things to do. I take an article, gut out its information and completely rewrite if from ground up… in one-to-three edits. If you feel there is an article in dire need of this, such as one that has the “rewrite and expand” banner at the top, please let me know on my talk page and we can see if I like it.

Peer Edit
Much different from the Peer Reviews that used to be on the Super Mario Wiki, my peer edit system is my assessment of an article and rewriting where needed. It’s pretty in-depth. The difference between Stumpification is that I keep the overall structure of the article unless I feel it really needs to be changed. I will send you back any recommendations I have for added information. If there is a peer review page, I will also do one of those if all of the problems I have with the article aren’t already solved.

Random Services
Feel free to make any strange Wiki-related request you have on my talk page. I may be able to help. Also, if you have a need of a writer or a peer editor off-site for one specific task, let me know. No guarantees, though.

Brief History of Naming

 * "Stumper" era: I named myself after a character I invented for a point-and-click adventure game made with PowerPoint. The reason I chose this was because I couldn't think of a better name.
 * "Stumpers" era: The addition of the "s" to my name was a mistake on my part. The reason behind it is that "Stumpers" refers to the game that the character "Stumper" stars in.  Actually, the reason the game wasn't called "Stumper" was a mistake on my part... so it's a mistake based on a mistake.
 * "spazafrazz" era: This was first used for my AIM screenname. I actually thought of a better name this time, because it was after I had been nicknamed "Spaz"... by two separate people independently.
 * "Matt" era: Only used for Animal Crossing: Wild World, I called myself this because the one's in-game name doubles as his or her screenname. So, I could either have the villagers calling me "spazafrazz" or have everyone online know my real first name.  I chose the latter because, seriously, there are about eight million "Matt"s in this world, so why does it matter?  Yes, you can call me Matt now if you want because you were nice enough to read my talk page this far down.
 * "Whettam" era: Whettam, pronounced "wet ham" is my full first name, Matthew, spelled backwards. I didn't want to let my Nintendo identity be effected by a name that had, over time, come to bother me.  Whettam is also a character in the fictitious adventures of my family.  The story goes that when I'm in the rain, I automatically assume my secret identity, "Wild pig in the Rain", or "Whettam."  Yeah, pretty mean, if you ask me.  But I'm a good sport, so I let myself be called this and let someone else be named Retep the Remarkable, a muscular, perfect youth who rides a winged-horse.  Just wait until the other Gods find out his mother is queen of the underworld.  At least as Whettam, my only responsibility is to be back in my clothes when I dry off.

What? You want a reward for reading all of that ****? Whiner. Okay... you can see my favorite forum avatar... banned for being "too creepy".
