User talk:Benjaminkirsc

This is my talk page.

Wanna talk? Here some rules:

Transparent images
Please stop reverting images to older transparency ones. The ones you're reverting to are either smaller or have poorly done/unofficial transparency. A white background is fine. 13:39, 20 June 2018 (EDT) Hi. It's Ben. @Alex95. Some of the images are large enogh but need transparency.
 * They don't exactly need transparency. If the official image has transparency, then great. But if not, there's no need to add it. The transparency for artwork should be official and not manually done. 13:47, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

@Alex95 thanks but the imgaes may need better transparency. If the transparency gets the image smaller, then I won't edit it.
 * That's not what I meant. If the transparency isn't official, the artwork image shouldn't have it. 13:51, 20 June 2018 (EDT)
 * (edit conflict) You're misunderstanding Alex95's point. Images pertaining to artwork will not be made transparent unless an official transparency is found, PERIOD. 13:52, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

Thanks guys for the comments. @Alex95 Thanks for the point. @Toadette the Achiever Your welcome!

You're continuing to ignore our advice and still are reverting to lower-quality images. There was no point to this revision, all you did was make the image smaller. Enough. Keep it up and you'll receive a last warning, followed by a ban. 14:10, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

@Alex95 Should stop for now!
 * Yeah, you should. And no need to pull up our signatures, just type out our names. Much easier that way. 14:21, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

Well. Can you make the image larger for this picture this revision?
 * The image is already as large as it comes. 14:30, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

@Alex95 okay. Crop it. Why not? Edit: Can you help me edit images! @Alex95
 * The image you reverted to earlier was a crop, but the filesize is larger. Unless you have a program that can cut filesize like PNG Monstrous, I wouldn't recommended the crop right now. 14:38, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

Okay! @Alex95 Should I use PNG Monstrous?

FYI
Hi there. Just a quick tip, no user but the admins can possibly edit your userpage at all. I know from experience that admins like Alex95 can, but they'll only do that if your page interferes with the rest of the wiki. For example, mine was edited because I accidentally added it to a mainspace category. Anyway, no need to worry about your userpage being vandalized. Welcome, by the way. 15:50, 20 June 2018 (EDT)
 * There also actually are a few spelling mistakes, "us" should be "is" and "plumber" has a b in it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:33, 20 June 2018 (EDT)

Oh Ok, Benjamin Kirsch!

RE:Kinda curious
You're confusing me... Did you find officially transparent artwork that you would like to upload as a PNG? 09:24, 19 August 2018 (EDT)

Nah. But I need help here. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 11:00, 19 August 2018 (EDT)
 * Would you mind being more specific? 15:52, 19 August 2018 (EDT)

You can change some pictures when it's non transpacey, make a PNG, to make policy, as you can do on some WarioWare Gold picture? Like the 9-Volt.

Page galleries
Images should not be on a page's gallery section if they're already on the page elsewhere. That is just how it works here, we don't want redundant images. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 12:43, 12 December 2018 (EST)


 * How unfourtne and sorry. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:32, 12 December 2018 (EST)
 * It's fine, everyone makes mistakes. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2018 (EST)
 * Now I believe you. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:52, 12 December 2018 (EST)

Padding
Don't add padding to articles, like "video" to "video game", the year and system it was released for, etc. for the sake of making information appear longer. See Good_writing. 19:16, 13 February 2019 (EST) Ow shucks. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2019 (EST)
 * You have done this again, as the wording was better and more fluid when it was shorter in that case. Please remember to not pad out pages for the sake of making them longer in the future. Thanks for your understanding. 19:05, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * I have fixed your mistake. And ohh. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 19:08, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * Please do not alter other user's comments, even if they do contain typos. 19:10, 17 February 2019 (EST)
 * Excuse me. Why? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 15:41, 18 February 2019 (EST)
 * Because altering other user's comments is rude and it changes what they said even though they did not actually say that thing, and it can change the intent of the comment. 3:50, 18 February 2019 (EST)
 * There was a mistake in the sentence. Sorry for what you think. That made me uncombartable changing other users. I'll not to do this again. Promise? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:17, 20 February 2019 (EST)
 * I believe you. You are not in trouble, many users mistakenly alter other user's comments without knowing that it is against the rules. 14:14, 20 February 2019 (EST)

It's not padding if the words add meaning to the information. Please stop removing certain words and labelling them as such. 00:49, June 29, 2020 (EDT)
 * Mario jc, sorry. I stopped padding and then I remove certain words. I need a little help with more advice. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 08:37, June 30, 2020 (EDT)

Austrilla
You've been misspelling this quite often: it's spelled "Australia", not "Austrilla". We're not a 164-foot monster. :P 19:21, 20 February 2019 (EST) Thanks for fixing me. Im sorry for being bad a spelling. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:40, 21 February 2019 (EST)

RE:New things
Nothing much right now, just trying to help out where I can. And creating articles on DK: Jungle Climber levels every now and then. Why do you ask? 16:17, August 25, 2020 (EDT)
 * Thanks Benjaminkirsc (talk) 16:56, August 30, 2020 (EDT)

RE: Question
Can you be more specific? 00:56, September 1, 2020 (EDT)
 * More specific? okay? I need to know why I keep getting reverted after trying to help? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 08:42, September 18, 2020 (EDT)
 * Because mistakes happen. Every relatively new user goes through that, it's not something you should take personally. I'm not seeing any recent cases of this anyway; if you're referring to Don't Wake Wiggler!, you simply misunderstood the rewrite notice. The section is about the ending animation, not the criteria for finishing the minigame, and it needs info on what the animation looks like when no one earns any points. 10:15, September 18, 2020 (EDT)
 * You know this wiki's reverts are pretty serious TBH, Benjaminkirsc (talk) 10:19, September 18, 2020 (EDT)

Additional stuff about MKL: Home Circuit
Adding to what Keyblade Master said per his response to your question on your talk page - not only was that info which you were trying to add character specific, it still falls under speculation because it's still early in the game's release for Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit; we seriously do not know if there are any further plans later on to add other characters to this installment. This is not a general Mario Kart installment, per se, just so you know. We appreciate your understanding on this. --M. C. - Profile | Talk Page 09:49, October 17, 2020 (EDT)
 * M.C, before you say it is speculation, DLC or updates are de facto not seen yet. And unless they attach DLC and updates, that is possibly true depicting early release. If this statement false by when DLC or updates are released, tell me. In addition, this game was only released yesterday, this is way too soon to say that the Peach and Yoshi update, so it still falls under speculation until the game isn't supported anymore, understand me. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 10:15, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

Grammar fixes
Please pay closer attention to the sentences when making grammar fixes. While some of those fixes were right, a number of them were incorrect (see this and this).

For example, your Super Mario Bros. edit
 * If you read the paragraph, "In other worlds" is correct in the context ("In worlds 3-1 and A-3, there are warp zones placed beyond the goals. In other worlds..."); it's not a typo of "In other words".
 * "A close-up of Mario from Super Mario Bros. as well as a picture from said game are unlockable backgrounds", not "is" since there are two subjects (the close-up and the picture).

Your Super Mario Bros. 35 edit
 * Reading this sentence: "It is exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online members and released on October 1, 2020, is available until March 31, 2021" doesn't make sense. "Being" is grammatically correct.
 * "It becomes the swimming variant if transferred into a water level, but the jumping variant if transferred into a non-water level." "If" is correct here.

Quality-check edits like those are appreciated, just try to be more careful you don't accidentally change what was already correct. 21:20, October 17, 2020 (EDT)

Oh, I used Grammarly, sorry if Grammarly is not the experience. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 07:13, October 19, 2020 (EDT)

Unlucky Space
When you get a chance, could you take another look at the Unlucky Space proposal? Your current vote doesn't have anything to do with the scope of the proposal. -- 18:13, October 25, 2020 (EDT)
 * Oh sorry, I'll be right back to it. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:17, October 27, 2020 (EDT)

RE:Reverse Space
But do they actually function differently from the Mario Party 9/10 Back Spaces? If not, then they should remain in the future article, as subject names can and do change over time. 21:04, October 28, 2020 (EDT)
 * Thanks so much for your explaining. This is just my idea. You can have a different reason. =) Benjaminkirsc (talk) 07:18, October 29, 2020 (EDT)

Ashley & Red Proposal
Hey man, so I'm no administrator or anything, but I just wanted to mention you shouldn't call someone else's proposal stupid. I saw your vote and it came across as a bit harsh to say the proposal was "stupid, dumb and should not happen". I'm just suggesting you remove those comments; I've seen others get in trouble before for that kinda behavior and I just wanna help out in this case. Thanks for your time. 22:04, October 31, 2020 (EDT)
 * Oh sorry, I didn't like that proposal at all, thanks for correcting me. Did someone edit my comment? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 06:38, November 1, 2020 (EST)
 * Looks much better. Thanks. 09:02, November 1, 2020 (EST)
 * Thanks, Tails777 =) Benjaminkirsc (talk) 10:16, November 1, 2020 (EST)

No quorum
The proposal ended in a no quorum due to rule 8, so your edits will have to be reverted. 14:50, November 7, 2020 (EST)
 * DarkNight that makes no sense. Can you make it more clear? Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:51, November 7, 2020 (EST)
 * Rule 8 states: Any proposal that has three votes or less at deadline will automatically be listed as "NO QUORUM." The original proposer then has the option to relist said proposal to generate more discussion. The proposal had 3 votes. 14:54, November 7, 2020 (EST)
 * Oh thanks, DarkNight. I'll remember next time. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:55, November 7, 2020 (EST)

Settled proposal handling
Somewhat building on DarkNight's message above, I wanted to bring up a few things about how you handled those proposals today. As you already know, the Back Space proposal should have been marked as no quorum, but also, you shouldn't always just plough ahead and enact the proposal by yourself- it's polite to at least check with the proposer first, as often they will have their own plan for getting it done. Also the second proposal that passed the deadline did not need to be ended, but rather extended- no one option had a strong majority, and hence the proposal required a third and final extension of a week. Also, any completed proposals need to be archived, rather than just adjusting the proposal. I'd recommend that you take some time to familiarise yourself with the rules on the proposals page before you make any changes like this in the future- both of these are relatively uncommon cases, but the rules do give clear guidance on what to do, and it's a good idea to get into the process of archiving any proposals that you end. BBQ Turtle (talk) 17:58, November 7, 2020 (EST)
 * Thanks for info. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 18:46, November 7, 2020 (EST)

Back Space
I restarted the Back Space proposal since it ended in a no quorum. Feel free to recast your vote.

Also, regarding your earlier question about the Wings proposal, that's largely due to the wiki's rules about dealing with proposals ending with inadequate consensus. 23:41, November 7, 2020 (EST)
 * Thanks Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:13, November 9, 2020 (EST)

Moving pages
When moving pages and files, make sure to change any links leading to the old name to the new name. You can find them by clicking the "What links here" on the toolbar on the left when viewing the original name's article. Changing the namespace search to Templates will allow you to get rid of most links, and then when the cache clears, you can do the rest. 14:35, November 19, 2020 (EST)
 * Thanks, Alex95. I like that. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 19:40, November 22, 2020 (EST)

Reverse Space
You're thinking of a different discussion entirely, one that had nothing to do with Reverse Space. As for the discussion that actually talked about the Reverse Space, all I said was that I'm not sure if they're different from the Mario Party 9 variant of Back Space; I never actually agreed to the split.

That said, upon observing how Reverse Spaces work in Mario Party 3, yes, now I do agree that they deserve their own article. 13:52, November 24, 2020 (EST)
 * Oh, thanks for explaining. That makes much more sense. I asking a reasonable person for help to swap page titles. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 13:59, November 24, 2020 (EST)
 * Okay. Though as a more effective approach, you can also email the admins at mwikisysops@gmail.com (even though I did so already). 14:06, November 24, 2020 (EST)
 * Oh yeah, that's true. I asked Mario jc. When did you email the admins? I emailed Mario jc at 2:03 pm. Otherwise, thanks for emailing the admins. Benjaminkirsc (talk) 14:14, November 24, 2020 (EST)
