User talk:Time Q/Archive 7

Well, that's my talk page (surprise, surprise), and if you wanna talk, please do so! Just a few rules.
 * Please always add a header if you start a new topic.
 * If you feel the need of doing so, you may send me pointless messages such as "Hi!", but don't expect me to answer.
 * Freedom of speech, so say what you want. (I don't care about flaming and such, but the community does, so better refrain from doing so :P)
 * If you want to put images on this page, please make sure they're small enough. Or even better, just put a link to it rather than the image itself.
 * Generally I'll answer on this page (in order to make the discussion traceable), but sometimes I'll also answer on your page (in order to make sure you read the message). So please check this page if you don't get a message on your page.
 * Remember to sign with (~), don't remove anything from this page, and the other usual blabla.
 * That's it.

New User
Come on, just ban him. I mean, look at his name!
 * And do you think he can be renamed to "NoNameX"? His name is too big and breaks many things. -- 20:30, 11 January 2010 (EST)
 * I mean GayLuigiControlledByCacatellaPSFakeFictionalInMarioGangFutureAfterTheEndOfTheWorldAt2012HaHaHaOnTheFictionalSNDS. Sorry if you werent talkinga bout him, looked like you were. -- 21:14, 11 January 2010 (EST)
 * FYI: I recently found out that he (or she) vandalized MarioWiki talk: Banned Users

HI TIME Q!
Would you want to be friends? Here's my userbox:


 * Well, I don't even know you, but if you want, why not. I don't use userboxes, though. 10:00, 16 January 2010 (EST)

Mario
Hey Time Q, I'm rewriting the History section of Mario, but do the games necessarily have to be in strict chronological order, or can it be divided into series? (i.e. Mario & Luigi series, Paper Mario series) The series' sub-sections would be chronologically ordered by release date of the first game in the series. --
 * Yes, they should be ordered by and divided into series, I think it's all described here. Please adhere to those guidelines, and remember to include each appearance there, that is such in "other media" as well. I know this is a lot of work :( 15:51, 17 January 2010 (EST)

Red Links
Real quick, can you go into the user page of this banned user and get rid of the red links?
 * Thanks. By the way, there's also other useless red links that are unable to be removed by me. I would really appreciate it if you could remove those red links.
 * I know, I know.

Re: Wii
Oh. Sorry about that; I didn't see a rule about using EST time and the wiki's default clock is GMT, so I had assumed it would be ok. Why Eastern time and not GMT though? -- (Also, should I change everything back?)
 * I guess. IMO, I think GMT is better as a sort of "universal" time (somewhat like how we name articles based on the first English name, not necessarily the American, i.e. Mario Smash Football). Would I have to propose a proposal, or just mention it on the MW:FA talk page, if I were to want to change(or establish, seeing that there's no clear indication at the moment) the time zone system? --
 * OK. Thanks for the advice. --

So the proposal has passed, but how should I change the "localtime" thing that appears on the proposal page to GMT? Is it possible? --
 * Sorry, I have no idea... 01:25, 11 February 2010 (EST)

Hm
Why can't I remove that if their reasoning is not valid. Also, why aren't you addressing the fact I already resolved the things you voted to remove the article from featured status for? All of them? They're telling me the article has problems, but they're not even clarifying where the problems are, I already dealt with the things they brought up. ForeverDaisy09 19:08, 7 February 2010 (EST)
 * If you think that a proposal to remove a vote is invalid than you should discuss it with the proposer rather than just removing it when you think it's invalid. It might be considered valid by others. I need to have a closer look at the article before I can tell whether I think it has more problems. 19:16, 7 February 2010 (EST)

Edo is ignoring my messages
Just like I said to Reversinator, I told him to him to Edo to reply for me. Can you tell him to reply to me?
 * Have you even tried contacting him on his talk page lately? I fear I can't do anything you can't do. 08:47, 9 February 2010 (EST)

I tried to but he just ignored me then so i'm so depressed.
 * I think you should try it again. Perhaps he just missed your message. I don't think he would simply ignore you. 08:55, 9 February 2010 (EST)

I contacted him again but he continued to ignore after the friend request for him. I think he's offline right now. If he doesn't talk to me I will strongly be depressed.
 * Yes, he is currently offline. Seriously, there's no need to be depressed. I'm sure he will reply to your message as soon as he's online. 09:06, 9 February 2010 (EST)
 * Okay. Thanks.:D
 * I apologize, I didn't intend to ignore you. I think I missed your message, when I was checking my talk page. Maybe I mistook your signature for my own in affect. I left a message at your talk page. Sorry, It won't happen again. - 16:56, 9 February 2010 (EST)

Red Link
Since you didn't know, I'm trying to get rid of useless broken links. I've been doing it for quite a while, and Knife doesn't mind at all.
 * But I do, since you altered the content of my comment. Stop that please. And as already said, this red link does no harm at all. 13:07, 14 February 2010 (EST)
 * But if Knife and Edofenrir approve of what I'm doing, then why can't you?
 * Because it was my comment whose content you altered. Altering other people's comments is an absolute no-no on this wiki. Why don't you use ? I would accept that. 10:26, 15 February 2010 (EST)
 * I also suggested using fakelink or removing the link, rather than editing the actual words of the comment. :-/

RE: Sig
Very Many thanks!, I wanted to do it a long time before but I didn't know how :/, thank you again :D.-- 13:31, 14 February 2010 (EST)

Time Display on Proposals page
It seems to work just fine to me; did you say that it displays a time 18 hours earlier than it actually is? --
 * I just checked again, now it displays the correct time. Very strange, I'm sure it was 18 hours slow when I checked yesterday. Anyway, I put it back on the page. 09:13, 16 February 2010 (EST)
 * Strange indeed. oô (I might ask some other users if the time's displaying correctly for them just to check) --

User:Dinnerblaster
He moved his userpages to Fawful X, without permission from any sysops. His userpage is now unprotected for anybody to edit, and since userpages are protected, I can't move them back. Can you re-move his user and talk pages?

Featured Images
HI Time Q! Please check this http://forum.mariowiki.com/index.php?topic=7018.msg172706#msg172706 I think it will greatly help us to fix the FI system. -- 15:11, 18 February 2010 (EST)

Talk Proposals
Sorry. Since there were so mnay proposals that would end today, I couldn't wait. So, are my edits going to be reverted?
 * Oh.

Hey
It's been a while since I last talked to you on here.
 * Hi, true. You're not really active here anymore, right? 10:36, 20 February 2010 (EST)
 * Not as much as I'd like to me. A lot of stuff has been happening lately (and unfortunately, it wasn't really good), but things are getting better. One of my friends has been helping me through it. :) Hopefully things get back to normal soon. XD So what's new?
 * Yeah, I too hope things will get better for you. As for me, I'm fine, my semester break just started a week ago, so I have quite a lot spare time at the moment, which is good. 10:45, 20 February 2010 (EST)
 * I'm almost 5/8 through the school year. Yayz! High School has way too much drama. >.>
 * Drama? 10:52, 20 February 2010 (EST)
 * Basically everyone freaking out about their problems in life. For example, Joe recently broke up with Sally so now Sally's freaking out and then she finds out that Joe is dating her best friend, Tina. Now Sally is mad at Tina for "stealing" her boyfriend and Tina keeps telling Sally to get over it. That kind of stuff. It's really annoying after a while. Especially when you end up being caught in it when you don't want to. :/
 * OMG, sounds like the plot of a really bad soap-opera... My sympathy. 10:59, 20 February 2010 (EST)
 * Yeah. Living soap-operas are are better explanation. :P but it's always happening and it's so annoying. >.>

Changing Usernames
Yeah.

While you're deleting pages...
How about deleting Mustache? It's just like Mario's Shirt, in the sense it's something trivial that serves no purpose.
 * It serves purpose in the M&L series. Stache Points are just as important as Health Points, Flower Points, and Badge Points. No, it's not "just like" Mario's shirt.

Delete image
Hi.I have more then four personel images can you please delete Booletta.jpg?
 * Sure. 10:57, 26 February 2010 (EST)

Censorship
Sorry about that. Not only did I forget there was a rule about not being allowed to censor things, I also forgot that there is no rule that states that users are not allowed to make derogatory/offensive comments about peoples' nations and cultures. Oops. --

FIs
OK, I was looking through the FI Archive and I noticed a massive amount of images (46 to be exact) and I think that this is way too many for one archive as it slows up the page. I think we should archive after either 20, 25, 30 or 40 FIs pass. 20 would make many archives but they would be easy to browse through, plus that's what we do with proposals. 25 is a larger archive than 20 and it easily adds into 100 so you can pinpoint your image archive easier. 30 is basically the middle number and it's not too high or too low. 40 is a very big number but it wouldn't make that many archives plus we wouldn't have to archive as often. Try to get back ASAP
 * I agree, the archives should be split. I think 20 images per archive is a fair number. 18:41, 2 March 2010 (EST)

Re: Reminder
Who's comment I was editing???

Question
I can't seem to edit my sig!
 * Hm, it says that it "has been locked so that only users with sysop privileges can edit it, because it is included in the following cascade-protected page: The 'Shroom/Single/XXXII". I don't know what that means. Do you? 08:06, 5 March 2010 (EST)
 * I know. It means that that page was cascade-protected, and articles that were linked to on that page are also cascade-protected as a result. How do I know this? The same thing happened to Marcelagus. How do you solve this? By making the cascade-protected page just regular protected.
 * Thank you. I removed the cascade protection, so GalacticPetey should be able to edit his sig again. 09:31, 5 March 2010 (EST)

What
Did you mean to leave that to someone else? I don't know what you're talking about at all. ForeverDaisy09 15:54, 5 March 2010 (EST)

It must've happened when I copied the proposal template from one page to the other. Simple mistake. ForeverDaisy09 20:43, 5 March 2010 (EST)

Sockvandal
A vandal by the name of Jermboy271 has a near identical name to a previous vandal, and is also creating fan-content. So, should you ban him for sockpuppteting and vandelizing?
 * Yeah, they share the same IP, so I blocked him. Thanks. 10:16, 7 March 2010 (EST)
 * Jermboy is back, as Jermboy277, and he's still adding fan content. Can you IP ban him?

Castle Bleck
Can you please delete MarioWiki:Featured Articles/N/Castle Bleck??? It's been a month since anyone has been working on it.
 * And on the topic of FA nominations, Hammer Bro.'s has passed, and I'm not so sure what to do.
 * While you're at it, can you please delete the Comet Metal and Hightail Falls pages, because both were crudely made, one sentence articles.--

YS Nomination
Hey Time Q, Featured Articles/N/Yoshi's Story hasn't been edited in over a month, so can you delete the nomination?
 * Thanks for pointing me to it. Hm, I would, but we decided to archive nominations, just haven't come to a decision exactly how to do this... :/ 11:23, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
 * And speaking about nominations, Yoshi's unfeature nomination has passed. Can you archive it?
 * Sorry, there's still one and a half hour to go. 11:50, 14 March 2010 (EDT)
 * User:Confused/Messagetem is a template created by Confused just for his sub fan pages. I believe all those pages, along with the template, should be deleted, right?
 * I asked the other sysops about this, because I'm not sure. 17:36, 15 March 2010 (EDT)

Images
HI WILL YOU PLEASE GIV ME A DETAILED EXPLANITION OF HOW TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE?

THANKS,


 * Don't shout. Also, Fawfulfury65 already told you. 13:43, 17 March 2010 (EDT)

User:Toadruinsthegame
Quick, ban him. He has a name almost identicle to a previous vandal (Kingbillruinsthegame), and he caused a LOT of trouble.

Nominations
Would you mind moving the failed nominations from N1 to F1 or something? If the N is there, it still shows up on the list.
 * It's not because of the N but rather because there's still a certain template on the pages. I'll take care of that later today. 08:14, 11 April 2010 (EDT)

Shroom
Hi!Sorry for bothering you but,How can you write for the shroom?
 * Uh, sorry, I don't really know. Try asking . 14:58, 12 April 2010 (EDT)

hello
Long time no see. What's up?
 * I'm fine, and you? 17:45, 12 April 2010 (EDT)
 * I guess I'm doin' pretty well. Things have been gettin' better in my lifr, which is good. However, it's still pretty insane, so I can't get on as much as I'd like to.

Vandal!
There's a vandal! Looking at what he's done, I think he should be blocked. I'm not a sysop, so I'm asking you (look at Recent Changes).
 * You're talking about ? Well, he already received a warning for his actions, so unless he continues vandalizing there's no reason to block him, IMO. 06:54, 13 April 2010 (EDT)
 * Oh, OK. Sorry for bothering you.
 * No problem, thanks for informing me! 07:12, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

Archives
Hi!Can you please,please tell me how to make user talk archives?
 * It's easy: Simply move your talk page to a page called "User talk:Mr bones/Archive 1". Your actual talk page will redirect to the archive then. In order to avoid this, remove the redirect command and replace it with whatever should be on your fresh talk page. Remember to add a link to the archives. 14:10, 15 April 2010 (EDT)

Thanks man!

WHY ON EARTH
Can you please tell me why that 3d guy Girrtacos has the right to have more than 4 personal images?
 * Actually, all the images on his or her page seem to be linked to from an external website which is perfectly okay. "Personal images" are just those images that you upload onto this wiki, which (s)he didn't do, as far as I can see. 03:26, 16 April 2010 (EDT)

Why didn't he just said that in the first place?Thanks

Deletion
Hi!Can you delete thi User Talk:Mr bones/evil showdown.When I asked Steve he said that the number of subpages has no limit so I thought it was okey but no.

Thanks!

Thank you
Thank you for your encouraging words on the proposal page. As long as there are people who have faith in the Did You Know section, I can draw motivation from that faith to update the template. It just seemed like there's nobody who cares about the template anyway. - 23:27, 17 April 2010 (EDT)
