User talk:Sir Grodus

''' I won't create an archive or signature, stop saying I need them and don't even think of trying to include me in your cheese fanaticness, I dont care about the stuff. '''

Welcome to the wiki. I hope you have come bringing constructive edits, and a good sense of humor. Remember, its video games, so keep your wits about you. I understand you've been here a while, but I noticed you received no welcome. -- H  K

DK Wiki PipeProject Cancelled
Sorry, but I just found out that there is already a project doing this, as you must know because you're a member of it. Anyway, thanks for your interest in my first attempt at a PipeProject.

No names
I wish to fill all the gaping holes of Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. Sadly I dont think there are names for some of the monsters in that particular game. What is the protocal for this? Do I name it myself? Plus I would like to ask the help of the experienced wikiers (like the sysops) with find me pictures of the monsters. -- Lord Crump 08:25, 4 November 2006 (EST)

The Poshley Heights pic
Can you get that same image, but bigger?

Where'd you get it from?

Thanks
Thanks a lot for clearing up those images I uploaded of the books!

Sonic
Why is there an article on Sonic if he himself did not appear. If there is an article on Sonic than shouldn't Earthworm Jim have one since his stuff is in the trash can along with Sonic's. -- Sir Grodus

If its inthe same style as the Sonic article. -- HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  23:05, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

Reply: Images
Absolutely. But by no means do we need them now, or soon. I replied to your Lm question. I also want you to know that everyone has different sources and search techniques. If you can't find a pic, someone else will. Plus it was late and I had nothing else to do. -- H  K

Red Links
Why do you keep on removing red links? Those are needed to inform people that those articles are not created yet and are needed. Not only that, red linked articles appear on the Most Wanted list, so users know what the Super Mario Wiki community wants to be done. -- Son of Suns

Red links are friends. With no red links, there would be no Mario's Picross page. -- H  K

Sorry about the red links I'll stop getting rid of so many. -- Sir Grodus

Do you check the recent changes? -- H  K

Yes I check recent changes. -- Sir Grodus

Do you like your sig leading to nothing? I mean having no link. -- H  K

Quality Not Quantity
Not to say you don't add quality to the wiki, but maybe more effort should be spent on ghost articles. A good example of good work is Mr. Luggs. Compare it to your composition of Biff Atlas. See a difference? I don't mean to hurt you, or your feelings. I'm just pointing out something for future reference. Please, don't feel bad. I will be happy to help on these articles. -- H  K

Yeah I guess I could add a bit more quality in the articles. -- Sir Grodus

And I'll help. I used to only tag articles with, which was my creation. it states that an image is needed and adds it to the image requested category. Now I'm a pretty hard worker. I kept at it and eventually added much quality. You'll hit that, too. I think.... H K
 * Thanks for bringing this up, HK. I edited Neville, Lydia, and Chauncey last night, and also Mr. Luggs was my creation. We can use all the help we can get, but for portrait ghosts, make them detailed. Wayoshi

So... No one's mad at me.... YES! Woohoo! -- H  K

Donkey Kong Universe
I believe that, like the Yoshi and Wario spin-off series, Donkey Kong is a spin-off of Mario. Since this wiki should cover the entire Marioverse, I believe the Donkey Kong universe, including the games made by Rare, should be included. If not, then the Yoshi series and Wario series should not be included. All three have very little in common with the traditional Mario games so if one is not allowed, none should be allowed. That being said, I think that in this early stage of the Super Mario Wiki, we should be focusing more on the traditional Marioverse before branching off into the spin-off games. However, a few articles here and there from the spin-offs are good, but if they begin to overshadow the Mario articles, than this wiki is no longer the Super Mario Wiki-it will be a Yoshi wiki, or a DK wiki, or a Wario wiki. All are part of the Marioverse, and, in time, all should be covered. -- Son of Suns

Does that mean Banjo-Kazooie? DK>Diddy>Diddy Kong Racing is Banjo's first appearance>Banjo branches off. -- H  K

Star Fox is also generaly counted as DK's universe. -- H  K

Maybe some special voting page is required to figure out what exactly this wiki does and doesn't involve? -- H  K


 * A spin-off of a spin-off is also related to the grandparent series. In this case, Banjo and Conker games are part of the family of Marioverse games and as such, they should have a home here as well (but not for a long time....we need to work on more traditional Marioverse articles before moving to these extended franchises). Also, I would say Star Fox is not part of the Marioverse or the DK universe. The only connection is a character named Tricky in both Diddy Kong Racing and Star Fox Adventures. However, these are clearly two different Trickys with two distinct personalities that live on two different worlds. Thus these two franchises are related, but not part if the same universe. However, Star Fox is a part of the Super Smash Bros. series. Since that is a cross-over series, it is a part of the Marioverse, but only from a Mario perspective. Articles about Super Smash Bros. have a place here, but only can be talked about from the point of view of Mario and what he can learn from fighting style and trophy descriptions. See the Princess Zelda article for a good example of this. I don't think a vote is neccessary. Like I said, if the traditional Marioverse is completed, then someone, if they wish can move on to extended franchises. If not, no one has to. -- Son of Suns

Okey Dokey. You sure have become long-winded.... er long.... -- H  K


 * I like to explain my view points in detail. =) -- Son of Suns

Erm... I feel like this has gotten to the point where it no longer concerns Sir Grodus..... -- H  K

I see the Donkey Kong series as more of a sibling series to the Mario one as they are both spin-offs of the old Donkey Kong game. Since the Banjo-Kazooie and Conker series are spin-offs of the Donkey Kong series, they're more of a cousin or nephew to the Mario series. -- Sir Grodus

Undead Or Not?
By the way I wondering if things like Gold Ghosts, Purple Punchers, etc. should be counted as undead since they were never truly alive and are paintings (same with Chauncey, he was born a ghost so he was never alive). -- Sir Grodus


 * That is a tricky question. But undead does not imply alive, just something is in between life and death-a spirit, a skeleton, a ghost. Still in the physical world, but not entirely physical. Although the ghosts are creations of art, they become spirits-in between life and death. In other words, the undead have not moved on to the next plane of existance. --Son of Suns

Its a lot less weird than it sounds. I'm going to shorten the message: The aren't alive. They aren't dead. Unalive would imply death, so we have the term undead. The painting ghosts aren't alive. Or dead. -- H  K

Bold
One more thing, the first time the title of an article is used in said article, the name should be bold. Also, if something is known by multiple names, all the names should be bolded. Ex: King Bowser is the leader of the Koopas...etc. A Trapdoor, also known as a Fake Door, is a...etc. -- Son of Suns

Check your templates!
Please check if there is a template like the one you're going to make, or any other common article, beforehand. It just so happened that I already made a LM Room template at Template:Rooms. I'm sorry, but I had to put your template into the to be deleted category. Wayoshi 23:45, 23 July 2006 (EDT)

Sorry I didn't know there was already a template, I just assumed there wasn't one because I never saw it. -- Sir Grodus

Melee
Sorry to say this after a great article on the Master Hand and Crazy Hand, but they are not related to Super Mario Wiki in any way. There is a separate wiki for Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Copy them and send them there. --Spike 18:39, 30 August 2006 (EDT)


 * Wait a moment. Super Smash Bros (Melee) is a game with Mario-related characters, therefore it is a part of the Super Mario Wiki, just not as important as a whole Wiki about it. In fact, a PipeProject for the characters in that game is a good idea. The articles can be copied, but won't be deleted, and must be credited to here if directly copied, not paraphrased. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 18:41, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

I see your point, I guess it does have something to with Super Smash Bros. Melee. Mario characters do make up about a quarter of the games characters. --Spike 18:50, 30 August 2006 (EDT)

DON"T DELETE THE ON WHEELS PAGES! WE ARE REVERTING THEM TO THEIR PROPER TITLES!!!!!!!!!!

Oh uh crud, guess I should let you guys handle everything. -- Sir Grodus

Punis are Insects?
Since when are Punis insects? They are specifically quadropedal, meaning they have four legs, unlike insects which have six. I know the Marioverse changes the rules with regards to legs, but what source can you site to confirm Punis are indeed insects? -- Son of Suns

I kinda just assumed them to be insects due to the antennea (hope I spelt that right), and seemingly inbred fear of Piders, also don't praying mantis's and daddy/dandy (whichever) long legs only possess four legs. -- Sir Grodus


 * Praying mantises have six appendages, four that act like legs and two that act like arms. Also, daddy long legs are not insects (or true spiders, for that matter). Spiders can eat animals such as birds and mice, so it's not impossible that Punis could be more mammalian than insect. -- Son of Suns

Yeah I guess you're right, so i'll revert it (I still think Jabbis are insects though). -- Sir Grodus

Sysophood
Congratulations on your promotion. Keep up the good work (as it keeps getting better!). -- Son of Suns

Yup. You had trouble in the beggining. And although I never really liked you, Congratulations. -- HK-47 w4z   h3R3   a  t  17:04, 3 October 2006 (EDT)

Conker articles
I just wanted to say I appreciate your effort to include Conker articles in this wiki. The Gregg article was very informative and interesting. I do believe Conker articles do have a place here, but not at this time. If you would like to keep writing these articles, keep them in your own files. If you can't for lack of space, I would be happy to hold on to them if you send them via e-mail. Conker articles should not be included until the vast majority of Mario related information is uploaded to this wiki, so the Conkerverse does not overshadow the primary Marioverse. This will be a long process, possibly taking years to complete. I'll keep any files you write for as long as needed. You can see more of my argument at Category talk: Conker characters. Thanks again and keep up the great work!!! -- Son of Suns

DK Wiki
I think you might want to help in the DK Wiki. Paper Jorge ( Need to tell me something? Go to my talk page.&middot;Contributions&middot; ) 17:48, 4 November 2006 (EST)

The Really Weird Freaky Robo Skeleton Kremling Cyborg
Demo-Kremling sounds like a good name. I am currently having some problems (my computer won't let me log onto the DK WIKI) but I hope to have it fixed soon. You're a good resource for DK64 knowledge! :) 3dejong
 * COOL! The name really fits that creepy thing. Thanks again! You're a big help to me! (and all of us!) Plus, I took a look at Demo-Goblin, and I can see where the name idea came from! -- 3dejong

SMRPG Wii!
Sweet! SMRPG will be on the Virtual Console! -- 3D, eagerly awaiting the re-release of Wii!

Are you serious Sir Grodus?!? Super Mario RPG is one of my favorite games of all time! My copy recently got stolen, and I've been hoping for RPG on the Wii ever since. Where did you hear this information? -- Son of Suns

You Don't See Me...
Unless you've already seen this before, just delete this part. I'm apologizing for writing gibberish on here. Wayoshi got at me for it. Sorry.

Just wanted to wish you a "Merry Chrismas!" because you are one of our most active users.

Thank you for helping out greatly at Dkwiki. Without you, it'd be lost. And a Happy New Year.

Pictures
Where did you find all of those beta pictures? -- --

Thanks
for all your hard work on the DK Wiki. You really do a great job. Thanks.


 * Plus, you have a real knack for finding cool official art! Wow! Like in the Kackle article.

TROLLER
SOMEBODY MESSED UP THE CHNARACTER SECTION!!! SOMEBODY NAMED SH!! You're the only sysop on right now. HE MUST BE STOPPED!! -- User: Ultimatetoad

Re: Levelbox
What specs would you need for a DK level? It doesn't have a code number like 3-8 and 5-7, but game, difficulty, and notes do work. Should I replace code w/ location? 13:29, 15 January 2007 (EST)

Peachycakse?
Did she strike again?!


 * O_o Will she never stop?


 * Oh, and about that stuff on my userpage... A person I know (guess his name) insulted the Wii today. I insulted Microsoft. He ridiculed Nintendo. I whopped him on the head with a backpack. He did the same. Later, I made up and gave him a link to my userpage. >:)

Star Neptune
Thanks for all your help reverting the vandalism. I am in your debt! -- Son of Suns


 * I thank you a ton for your timeliness and moving back/deleting redirects as well. I'll be especially on the lookout for that troll now... 15:05, 19 January 2007 (EST)
 * You are, indeed, special. Great work. I'm glad we have you.


 * Good job on reverting the vandalism and getting MarioWiki through dark times. That really was the biggest troll attack on MarioWiki, and you were the savior. Here's a fruit basket.

Wiki Reintegration
Have you checked out the Main Page talk page lately? There is a matter of concern. -- Son of Suns

Not every category needs to have "Donkey Kong" in front. Only major ones, like Species and Items. Flora and Objects can remain as they are. -- Son of Suns

Reply
Each should have a section on the same list. See Allies, Bosses, and Beta Elements. Does that work? -- Son of Suns

Also, some articles may have to be merged, like Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, or Link. -- Son of Suns

Question
I'm afriad that my user page will be vandalized. How do I prevent this? -- Taj The Genie 19:30, 26 January 2007 (EST)

Wikipedia
Hey Sir Grodus, this isn't a warning or something, but can you stop dumping articles from Wikipedia? I can see you've rewritten a bit, but to successfully rewrite, you must type from scratch, analyzing the information.

Hey, thats cool, we're all bros..

Baby Wario
Baby Wario was actually abandoned by the Toadies in a cave, because Baby Wario was so annoying (or something along those lines). Yoshi later discovers him and saves the baby. -- Son of Suns

Re: 'Shroom Job

Goomba Template
So, when will you make it? YoshiFan 20:54, 5 February 2007 (EST) An impatient fan of Yoshi

Some Advice
I see you have been editing templates, trying to find a good look to it. Good job, but here is something that can help. Click "Preview" next to the "Save page" button. That way, you can see how the template is going to look before you save it to the public. This is a minor problem as your edits clog up the recent changes. Thank you Mr. Grodus.

Super Mario World
Thanks for your super work on the Super Mario World TV show articles. I can see why you're a sysop.. :)

Template Trouble (Possibly)
I have recently created 2 templates, one for Bob-ombs and the other for Banjo Characters. I just wanted to make sure that they didn't already exist. I'm also planning on making a template on Conker Characters. Please respond telling me whether they're good or not. -- --

User: Salty
Sir grodus have you seen salty online lately? -- Fg 19:14, 20 February 2007 (EST)

Wow that's strange because I don't see him often like the other sysops.And aren't sysops suppose to be online often? -- Fg 19:21, 20 February 2007 (EST)

Leaving.. FOR SURE.
My leaving is now officialy decided.. Goodbyes in advance. See Talk:Main Page for details.

So long, Sir Grodus, one of the biggest names on the forum. Keep up the incredible work with the Rare articles, and if the RareWiki comes, I know you'll be a guiding force. ;) So long.

Same to you, and keep up the forum posts! Soon you'll have surpassed PJ! ;)

Mariowiki Forum
Sir Grodus can you please tell me the site of the mariowiki forum?Because I forgot the site. -- Fg 16:33, 22 February 2007 (EST)

Not going.. kinda.
I'm not leaving.. just going inactive. Now I'll be able to stay on the forum a little... and top your posts! ;)

Have You Beat Paer mario 2 and beat the pit of 100 trials? because i have not. I Just use jump most of the time 'Cause I have the spike badge. And i use the badge jumpman. --

Seeing as your a sysop...
Could you warn this one person who is vandalising the DK pages? check recent changes. Isyou 19:11, 12 March 2007 (EDT)

What's Up
Whats up sir grodus?

Article: Shop
I think you should move the shop article to merge with mario superstar baseball.I was the one who created that shop page.

Mariowiki Forum
I know that you're an administrator here but I definitely need help:When I tried to register it said that I have an invalid password and invalid confirmation code.

People vs. Characters
I would say any guest star who appears as him/herself should be considered a "person", and possibly a character (as they are still performing a role in a fictional universe). Any guest star that appears as a different character should be considered a character. The actor that played the person should be considered a person. -- Son of Suns

Images To Be Deleted
Sir Grodus can you delete the images on recent changes that says unused file.

And also, please delete the pictures of banjo + kazzoie pics i found. Isyou 20:23, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Cartoon Names
What is the verdict on Bowser's name in articles covering the cartoon series? Should we use "King Koopa" or "Bowser"? Also, would you prefer if we use the cartoon names for the Koopalings, or their official names? It'd be best to settle on something since the names seem to switch back and forth between articles. --Booster 17:45, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

Archive
Sir Grodus I think you need a talk archive.

No, he doesn't. He needs 3.

Cartoon Images
I get pictures of TAoSMB3 and SMW off of YouTube. A user named Blastaway has uploaded every episode of both series in good quality. To get an image I pause the video and press the Print Screen button. Then I paste the image in Paint and cut out the actual video part of the image. (This doesn't work on certain computers, though). I then save the video image as a picture. --Booster 23:24, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

SMBSS episodes
Which episodes of SMBSS to you have access to, and can take pictures of? --Booster 23:52, 16 March 2007 (EDT) Edit: This includes live-action segments.


 * I take it you have both sets. Also, if you have a DVD player on your computer, you can just use a program like Power DVD to take pictures.

BTW, where is the link to the Yahooligans episodes? Booster

Guess what? I did some research and found out the codes for 45 out of 52 episodes! See my user page! Booster

Unfortunately, I was unable to take pictures of Yahooligans episodes, which kinda blows.

Vandalism
You missed so hard time vandalism this morning. It was hard to fend off with no sysops around, but we survived! Please read the main page's talk page.----

Mariowiki Party
Hey Sir Grodus look on steve's talk page and tell me what do you think about it.

Happy St. Paddy's Day!
P.S. You really need an archive.

Comic
do you want to be in my Smash Bros. Comic? if so, you need sprites of yourself and a partner, either User (make sure you ask) or a Nintendo Species.(looks at noone named Isyou) Max2

it's OK.

Hey, GirKiller 2 has uploaded a lot of duplicate pics, can you delete them?

Dang, how I didn't cause any trouble.----


 * Actually, television program titles are typically italicized, at least on Wikipedia... and my school's newspaper... and I'm pretty sure in most places. Is the MarioWiki... different, or am I totally wrong and nearing insanity? --YellowYoshi398 18:03, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
