Nintendo Power #90
Hi again! (Btw, thanks for archiving your talk page!) I have a request for you: You are the only accessible person on the internet who apparently owns Nintendo Power issue 90 (the one with Dixie and Kiddy Kong in a toboggan). Could you please look at the DKC3 segments in that issue, and tell me if you find anything stating that the Kremlings were mutated by something? Many users on the internet, including me, remember something about that being the case, so I'm trying to find a source proving this. (While you're at it, please let me know about anything else obscure in the DKC3 segment!) This would really help a lot! (You don't have to, I don't want to pressure you into doing anything) 14:14, December 11, 2021 (EST)

RE:December update
It's great to hear from you again. This past month has seen slower progress in regard to my wiki contributions; instead, I've directed my attention to several outside endeavours.

It's nice that you have taken the initiative to better the databases that document various franchises, but I have to wonder if the prospective workload of such task won't take a toll on your finances and, more importantly, you.

At any rate, thank you for the update. I appreciate everything you do! 13:00, December 12, 2021 (EST)
 * Playing the long game is a commendable approach, and I've acknowledged that you love doing it, but I do have to wonder how much you find to be enough. I'd be adamant about not overexerting yourself. Your contributions are much needed with how terrible some of the mainstay sources of information are to navigate, e.g. Bulbapedia; I'm just saying that, realistically, you'd fare much better if you focused yourself on one project, then moving on when it can sustain itself at the earliest.
 * Anyway, should you need any help, I'm here to hear your requests. As ever, I'm busy with Mario Wiki projects, but I should be able to squeeze some time for whatever you need of me. 12:04, December 13, 2021 (EST)
 * That's reassuring. If any drama of sorts arises, it's best you take it in stride, like you said. I'm sure you'll prove your mettle, if you haven't already :) 12:24, December 13, 2021 (EST)

RE:DK Wiki PT
You create for me on this site Miraheze? Because you have more knowledge. ChristopherPAraujo (talk) 15:31, December 12, 2021 (EST)
 * ChristopherPAraujo Hi, I am DarkMatterMan4500, an acquaintance of Results May Vary on the wikifarm that is known as Miraheze. I was sent here by a link from him directly to his talk page, and I wanted to say, if you want to join Miraheze, then that's great. --DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) 10:56, December 13, 2021 (EST)

You're welcome!
Happy to be of help! 14:38, January 1, 2022 (EST)

Nintendo Holiday Pinterest board
So I just found this Pinterest collection dedicated to Nintendo-themed holiday creations. It was promoted by Nintendo of America in a Facebook post, and it has tons of redirects to official Nintendo social media posts where they present their own printable stuff. Might be worth bringing some of that material over here, maybe? 11:15, January 2, 2022 (EST)

Re:thank you
Sure! I understand the excitement of proto-documentation, so I look forward to seeing how much gets covered. (This may be more up your alley since I feel the GBA version is a bit out of my jurisdiction as it were, as while I have memories of the SNES version, my experience with the GBA version is mostly limited to checking out Pacifica.) By the way, there's been something I've been meaning to mention: I've noticed you added some Miraheze wiki links on your user page not too long ago. I'm curious as to the goal/approach compared to alternative wikis such as those for Kirby and Super Smash Bros. Is it like the Zelda Archive sitch, or something else? I don't know much about Miraheze. Asking for a friend who might be interested in "The Kirby Encyclopedia" in particular. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:30, January 6, 2022 (EST)
 * Interesting. I think I remember that Super Smash Bros. proposal, and I honestly think the future of this content in the long term here is uncertain, so it's good that you have a "fork" backup ready. So, other points of interest: what's the Miraheze Super Mario Wiki? (I'm amused that it apparently takes a stance on "canon warnings" like FANDOM's MarioWiki while our stance has almost always been "there is no canon" but secretly it's really "draw your own conclusions for yourself." ) And can you tell me about ShoutWiki? There was another wiki I was interested in a while back, which I thought was an independent alternative to a Wikia site, but then I realized it was on ShoutWiki and I guess the Gamepedia buyout spooked me from it. I'm not too savvy on the specifics, but I suppose, since both ShoutWiki and Miraheze more openly pride themselves as open source projects, would you say there's less of a chance for the same thing to happen to them? Anyway, I'm in agreement that WiKirby has pretty much gone in its own direction. I remember you asked me once if you can " steal borrow" my Kirby-related contributions, so if there's a unified goal of making it more like this wiki, I say it's fine in case you were thinking of doing that again, though I should add if you do that I've changed my stance on the gender thing since then - I still think it's a little annoying that my old, novice arguments have been overemphasized in some other places, but it's hard to argue when the main creator, voice actor, and Japanese sourcebooks have all repeated the same thing at some point, which I wasn't aware of until recently...so it looks like I was accidentally right all along, just not for reasons I stand by now that I have more knowledge on how the language works, if that makes sense. At any rate, good luck with these wikis! LinkTheLefty (talk) 19:21, January 6, 2022 (EST)
 * Yes, I noticed that Gamepedia had a "corporate" identity from day one, so really the Wikia acquisition might've been inevitable in some ways. The wiki I had in mind was Bomberpedia - I'd never heard of ShoutWiki until that point, so my first thought was: "oh, it's named after the Bomberman character, Shout!" Regardless, it's a pretty tight-knit community, so I don't see them migrating anytime soon. So with Triforce Wiki having moved its hosting to Grifkuba Gaming Services, is there a reason why Triforce Wiki doesn't appear to be listed on Grifkuba's main page? "Asking for a friend" was my bad attempt at being somewhat subtle lol. Not to get too off-topic here, but one more thing while I'm talking about other wikis: since you handle both Final Fantasy Wiki and Wiki of Mana, I'm curious as to your stance on Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden (Final Fantasy Adventure / Adventures of Mana) and Shinyaku: Seiken Densetsu (Sword of Mana) coverage.
