User talk:Time Q/Archive 6

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.

Help!!!!
Hey Time Q,how do you upload images?

User:Booman
 * There's a link on the sidebar to the left: "Upload file". Follow the instructions there. 19:04, 2 September 2009 (EDT)

Re: SMW Redirects
Yes but we can change the redirects to those when they refer to the games, give me a list of games that #-# could refer to and I'll turn them all into disambiguations!
 * Fine (

Warioloaf
Yosshi! Help! Wariolaf has a new account as peteypiranhalover and is vandalizing.
 * Yoshi! Never mind, I saw you've alredy sorted him out while I was writing.

Yo!
Long time no see.
 * Indeed! How are you? Where have you been? 19:21, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * My interest in Mario has been rather...lacking...which pretty much explains me not being here. ^^; I've been fine. I've managed to turn into an anime/manga freak (aka otaku), but I'm fine. I reserved Mario & Luigi 3 yesterday so I'm waiting for Monday when it releases in the US.
 * Cool. Perhaps this will make you more interested in Mario again. ;) 19:26, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Well my lack of interest isn't the only reason; I've been pretty busy lately. And since I'm on other sites I go to more often...this one kinda gets left out...^^;
 * Yeah, I know what you mean, though I'm not busy at the moment, but at times I'm very enthusiastic about editing this wiki, and at times I'm not interested in it at all. 19:38, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * It's weird though cuz I've tried to get used to coming here again it's just like my other interests are like "NO!". :/
 * Hehe. Well, I guess that's okay. You have to prioritize things ;) 19:53, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Well I'm trying to come back again right now. Let's hope it finally works out. X'D
 * Okay, fingers crossed, haha. I think I'm going to bed now, good night! 20:02, 11 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Nighty night!

Hey Time Q...
Could you please give the Patrollers CheckUser? Porplemontage approved of it in a chatroom conversation, and a proposal was passed that allowed it as well. 17:00, 13 September 2009 (EDT)
 * I fear I have no idea how that works. 18:54, 13 September 2009 (EDT)

...
Time Q, holyyyyyyyyyy. Sup, man? --Paperback Writer 13:27, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Huh? ^^ Oh, it's you! How are you? 13:28, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Good, just a bit tired. You? --Paperback Writer 13:34, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'm a bit tired as well. Where have you been during the last weeks (or even months)? 13:37, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Mostly on Chat, and working on my really long 223/233 (one of those two) song list. :P --Paperback Writer 13:39, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * What is on that list? 13:42, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Song-wise or band-wise? --Paperback Writer 14:20, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Uh... band-wise ^^ Is it a list of bands/songs you like? 14:29, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Er, no. It's a whole list of songs that I listen too, on Windows Media Player. So I have bands like Queen, Aerosmith, Boston, The Doobie Brothers; and artists like Billy Joel, Elton John, Alice Cooper... there's a lot in this list. Trust me. --Paperback Writer 15:40, 15 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Ah, okay, I see. 16:19, 15 September 2009 (EDT)

Glitch
HELP! Someone *cough* STOP LOOKING AT ME! Yeash, first the chat now you... Anyhow, someone glitched up the Topmaniac article. Can you fix it?
 * It's already been fixed :) 18:04, 16 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Guess my mouth came before my eyes!:$

Yshi Articl
can you extend the time before the Yoshi article is unfeatured because I can't find and info on the other two N-gang comics. 21:35, 16 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I can't find info either :( I also can't extend the time. But really, it's no problem if the article is unfeatured. As soon as the article meets FA requirements, it can be featured again, so don't worry. 06:03, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

Heeeeeey
Time Q, I finished it. :D --Paperback Writer 13:54, 17 September 2009 (EDT)

My Proposal
Can you enforce my last proposal (the one about Genre articles)? -.
 * Hm, did we agree on merging the articles? If yes, you could also do it and turn the game articles into redirects. 15:32, 20 September 2009 (EDT)

No, actually the result was delete the all the articles in the category, but I'll do it myself now. -
 * Oh, okay. Right, you're a sysop now :D Congrats on your repromotion. You're really doing a good job with solving talk page issues and stuff. 06:30, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Hi
Hey, Time Q. Wow, you must really like Mario! By the way, Does Mario speak in German or English in german mario games?
 * That's actually a good question. I mostly play older games in which Mario doesn't speak at all. In the games I played in which he does speak, the spoken parts were not translated. Try asking, or  if you're interested :)  12:51, 22 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Asking me about German game versions wouldn't be that fruitful either, since I dislike German localizations and rather play games in English. The tiny amount of knowledge I can provide about that matter is, that in the Mario Party Series and in pretty much every Mario game I played, the lines remain untranslated and are merely subtitled. However, for some strange reason, Wario's lines in Mario Party were translated, as he says things like "So ein Mist!" (for the non-Germans, roughly translated: Crud!). That's the only instance of translation I remember. - 09:16, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

Thank you
Thank you for changing my name. 18:53, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Italics?
Could you respond to my message on Grandy02's talk page? It is under the same name as this one but I need to know the answer to that question if I am to continue editing the SMG boss articles because I want to do it right.

Why?
Why did you delete my Paper Mario TTYD Enemies page? It was saying that I'm working on it. User:Kukukeke
 * Sorry, maybe I was overhasty, I just don't think we need such a page. I'll restore the page, but I would suggest to wait what others say about it until you continue working. 11:20, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

Where
Where Can I sign up for the Fake news? 19:11, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
 * I don't know, sorry. 19:18, 26 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Okay I'll just go ask someone else. 19:20, 26 September 2009 (EDT)

Rahs Block
You're right. I shouldn't have been so rash. I acted without thinking enough. I apologize. - 18:55, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
 * That's okay. Just be more careful in future :) 18:57, 27 September 2009 (EDT)
 * I will. - 19:06, 27 September 2009 (EDT)

Sluggers
Hey, TQ, I was poking around the Mario Super Sluggers page and I noticed that none of the power ups have pages. Do you want me to make pages for them or just leave as is?
 * Sorry, I never played the game, so I don't know if there should be pages for the power-ups or not. Perhaps you could try asking on the MSS talk page :) 17:20, 30 September 2009 (EDT)

SMW
Hey, TQ. I've noticed alot of stubs in SMW Enemies, Levels and Power-ups. You want me to go edit them or can you do it yourself?

MM230 02:00, 3 October 2009 (EDT)


 * Oh, please go ahead and edit them. I can't possibly do it all by myself :) 04:43, 3 October 2009 (EDT)

Proposal
Hello. I hope you don't think that I'm attacking you personally on the proposals page. I'm aware that I may sound like that sometimes, but it really isn't ment like that. - 20:32, 7 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey, that's okay :) I perfectly understand you. Of course, I'm not attacking you personally either. Unfortunately, I couldn't check the wiki during the last day, so I'm going to look what happened :P 18:43, 8 October 2009 (EDT)
 * That's good. I'm always worried that people may think I'm attacking them personally (That actually happened quite a lot already), so nothing I say, even if it may sound harsh, is meant personal. - 19:09, 8 October 2009 (EDT)

Well, I came to say the same as Edo, it is nothing personal against you, so I hope it doesnt look like it is.
 * Same for you, I don't see any personal attacks here either. Thanks for clarifying though :) 01:08, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

Animation pics
I wanted to ask you this because you usaly awser peoples questions. I cant understand of to put animations on this wiki like this one for exsample: luigi_dance_animation.gif

I know your sopost to put image in frount of it like this: Image:luigi_dance_animation.gif

But it dosen't let me put it on do you know how to do it? (Sorry if this was way to long)

Also here's the link to it so you can see it

[] If you know how tell me please!


 * Hi. First of all, you should check if the image is already uploaded on the wiki. If it is, you can put the image by putting this coding:  [[Image: insert image name here ]] . If it is not uploaded yet, use the link "Upload file" on the sidebar. Please make sure you mark this image as a personal image of yours. 19:33, 9 October 2009 (EDT)

Thanks.

Stub artical
I created an artical on Bowser X is that ok?

Talk:Durmite X
Hi. In case you want to know (I assume that based on your comment that accompanied the deletion): I think the "I agree" was a result from the "merge to" template that was on the page before I merged it. The user probably read: "Click here and give your reasons why this should be merged with another article", clicked, and wrote that he/she agrees with the merge. - 12:59, 16 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Oh, I see. *facepalm* Thanks for the explanation! 13:01, 16 October 2009 (EDT)

Battle sprite
I've found a battle sprite for luigi in Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story and a Mario battle sprite for Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga should I put them on? (Note: They move!)
 * Yeah, I don't see a reason why you shouldn't. If you want to make sure you do nothing wrong, you might want to ask someone else before, though. 14:44, 18 October 2009 (EDT)

Here they are first one for super star saga here's the one for BIS I will try to find the other battle sprites!

Never mind the one for super star saga it isen't his stance. :3

:D
TIME Q! :D --Zephyr Mage 09:41, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Hi, how are you? 09:56, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Good, just playing BIS. You? --Zephyr Mage 09:57, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Cool. I'm listening to music and trying to do some university work... 10:15, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

Ban
Yoshi! can you please ban two vandals who are vandalizing, i've had to revert lots of pages from them replacing it with __ sucks!
 * Done, thanks. 10:15, 22 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Yoshi! Your Welcome. thanks, i was starting to get very cross with them.


 * There has been a recent outbreak of new users. Mind checking if someone is sockpuppeting?--
 * Thanks, looks like there was one sockpuppet. 16:23, 24 October 2009 (EDT)

Did You Know
Hi. I pondered about the request you made back then when I put up the proposal about the "Did You Know" template. I decided to work out some compromise. I just updated the template and used two facts from random articles and one fact from a recently created article. I think this is a good ratio to satisfy both sides. If I find something astonishingly interesting among the new articles, I will prefer that over the older information, but if there isn't anything, I think this 2:1 ratio will do good. - 18:53, 27 October 2009 (EDT)
 * Hey, that's cool. Thanks for trying to fulfill my request :) 19:12, 27 October 2009 (EDT)

Re: Peach's nom
No, the fault is all mine. I realized after you removed it that I had forgotten to add the reason, "I nominated it" to so I re-added it with the proper reasons. You were just following rules; one cannot be blamed for that which he did not know (I don't know where I heard that but I heard it somewhere).

Re: Kirby Nomination
Sure, you can go ahead and remove it. I wouldn't mind.

Demote
Hello Time Q, SMB spoke to me on chat and I thought you may want to know that he is going to go on hiatus for a year. He asked me to tell an MW bureaucrat to please demote him - don't believe me if you want and wait until he is obviously inactive. I will miss him so much - I may go inactive for the next few days due to depression as well. SMB would want me to do this
 * That's sad. I'd rather wait until he actually confirms that on the sysop board or tells it to a bureaucrat directly. It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to make sure this is actually what he wants. 01:56, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * Fine, It is most definitely not what I want. I wish there was a way that he could remain a patroller until a year from now but I know that's not possible. You're telling me it's sad? I've been crying about it for over an hour and I'm fighting myself to stay on the wiki. I really liked SMB, maybe even more than my best real life friend. It's getting so bad that I'm actually talking about my feelings. Plus I don't even think SMB got my message on his talk page. Additionally, everybody in my part of the world is asleep so I have no shoulder to cry on. Yours truly,
 * You have my sympathy :( I can't do anything but say that life goes on, though. You're doing a good work with your edits, so it would be even more sad if you were leaving as well. As soon as SMB returns he can have his patroller status back, of course. 02:03, 2 November 2009 (EST)

SMB sent me a private message on the forum requesting demotion from here and Userpedia because he was retiring. Personally, I'd like to wait until tomorrow to see if he (hopefully) comes back online and changes his mind. 02:23, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * Could it help if I mentioned that this morning on Userpedia, SMB was hacked by a user with the IP address 83.170.79.102 and he deleted about seven articles?
 * Just finished checking that IP on all the sites I can; I couldn't find any IPs that were even remotely similar to that. 02:33, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * UP has proof of that IP hacking SMB. SMB used checkuser just after the hack and then I blocked the user XD
 * I was going to retire for (probably longer than) a year for personal reasons. Seeing what effect it is having on one of my best friends, I will not perform such a selfish act. I'm here to stay, but I may not be as active as I originally hoped. I'm sorry if I caused any uproar. 16:03, 2 November 2009 (EST)
 * OK, you only caused a minor uproar - I didn't actually quit the wiki :P I was just going to

Signature Problem
Hi Time Q. There's something wrong with my signature. Whenever I type the four wavy things, I get this gray box on the last part of my signature!

23:01, 5 November 2009 (EST)

PS See what I mean? I need your help with this, no matter how minor or stupid it seems(and if there's a SUPER EASY way to remove it, I'm the one who's dumb). This gray box disturbs me. Can you please help? Sorry for bothering you...


 * That's not a dumb question at all ;) I don't really know what's wrong with the code, since I'm not exactly an expert in wiki syntax. Have you tried to put only three tildes instead of four? This just creates your signatures, without date and time. So I guess you can get rid of the gray box this way as well. 11:52, 6 November 2009 (EST)

Ok thanks. :)

Proposal votes
Hey TImeQ, i saw you deleted 2 votes in a proposal because they havent got a reason, sayig it it a great idea seems like a valid reason to me, is like the same as pering the proposer -- 10:40, 7 November 2009 (EST)
 * No, it's not valid, as you can read at the top of the page: "Any user can support or oppose, but must have a strong reason for doing so, not, e.g., "I like this idea!"". 11:07, 7 November 2009 (EST)

Re: Proposal
Is it possible for me to remove my vote just for the purpose of extending the deadline and then put it back right after? I still think that we need more organization in articles but I agree that there are many ways of looking at this. Correct me if I don't get the meaning of the proposal but I think it proposes the headers will be: ==Appearances== ===Game Appearances=== ====Super Mario Bros.==== Info on SMB ====Super Mario World==== (I'm putting these in a random order) ===Television Appearances=== ====Super Mario Bros. Super Show!==== If that is correct then tell me because that is what I am supporting for.
 * Wouldn't it make more sense to come to the person who made the proposal to discuss that? lol FD09

Yeah
Clearly it's going to be a long time before you have the chance to even start up that proposal and even then you can't change it as soon as you make the proposal you have to wait til it might pass. And even then it might go into an extension.

Not only will it not be hard to rearrange the main biographies with less than a weeks time, there are many other things in articles like Mario's that need to be fixed such as all the speculation of this odd chronological order. I'm sure you can see without references it's all speculated therefore goes against policy. So even if your proposal does pass it won't be a simple revert. You'll have to do a lot of work too. FD09

An apologize...
Sorry that I said you were conspiring against ForeverDaisy09 on his proposal, but actually was just a question to convince the user about his thoughts on the deletion of those votes that supported the proposal. I explained him too the reason why they were removed since it's not accepted the use of an ambiguous reason such as "I like this idea!" in those circumstances.
 * That's the way I understood it. Thanks for clarifying! 06:39, 14 November 2009 (EST)

Ummm..
How do I make a proposal please ? - The Doctor

Dude!!
There's a guy (MeritC) deleting the media edits I've made to Mario Parties!

-I just put the Nintendo Optical Disc in 'Media' for the GC versions! -- Lunchi

Construction Template
Hey, TQ, occasionally on the main page, where it has articles under construction, MAETEOLBACAN's userpage appears. I'm not completely sure, but I don't think we're supposed to use that template on our userpages. Just letting you know, -- 15:56, 19 November 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks for notifying me about that. You're right, the template should not be used on userpages. I can't find that guy's userpage though. Are you sure this is his exact name? 16:10, 19 November 2009 (EST)
 * Oh, no, it's not, but I can get you a link, just give me a minute.
 * Okay, here it is. User:MATEOELBACAN
 * Thank you, I removed it from his page. 16:19, 19 November 2009 (EST)

No probs, just helping out in any way I can. -- 16:22, 19 November 2009 (EST)

Excuse Me,I didn't knew it.--MATEOELBACAN 18:28, 19 November 2009 (EST)
 * No problem. I fear there was no way you could know it... 18:32, 19 November 2009 (EST)

Hello~!
Long time no see. How have you been?
 * Hi! I've been fine. University started again, so I don't have that much spare time anymore. You? 17:25, 25 November 2009 (EST)

New Template
So I have an idea for a new template which I believe would really improve the vast majority of articles, but I'm not sure how to make it an official one, nor how to get it started as a PipeProject (I believe) to get it added to all the respective articles. Any ideas who to talk to about this, or how to get started? Redstar 08:44, 29 November 2009 (EST)

Stub
Can you hold on for a minute? Reversinator is a newbie, so he can't create articles yet. I'm making the articles, and he's putting the information in them. So, can you not delete the article this time, and give him a minute to get to it? Thanks,
 * Oh, sorry about that. Next time, better put this in the edit summary. 18:19, 29 November 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks, I will. -- 18:24, 29 November 2009 (EST)

Collapse
Well, you didn't answer my last question, but maybe you can for this one: do you know the proper code to collapse longer lists inside tables? Redstar 07:52, 3 December 2009 (EST)
 * Oh, I'm very sorry for not answering your last question, I guess I somehow forgot about it... do you still need an answer? As for your new question, I don't think I know the code you're looking for. The only place where I saw something collapsible on the wiki is the templates, but that's not what you mean, right? 07:55, 3 December 2009 (EST)
 * Oh, it's no problem. I just thought a new table for power-ups would be a good thing to have (such as first appearance, latest appearance, etc.) because most of the power-up articles just have a thumb-picture, which doesn't look too professional. I would still like an answer, if you have one. As for this new one, yes, it's for templates. I was looking into the Template:Species-infobox page and it says to write "expandable", but where exactly and how it doesn't specify.
 * I would recommend talking to, , or if you have an idea for a new template. I think they could help you or at least give their opinion. Second question: I think all you need to do is to add the code   inside the   command. So instead of just  , there's  . See  for an example.  08:07, 3 December 2009 (EST)
 * Ergh. I could probably do it that way if I used the entire template, but since I'm using the shorted version where you just fill in the different bars, I'm not sure where to put any expandable. Here: I'm trying to make the list of Related Enemies in Boomerang Bros. collapsable. On the bright side, I found my idea for a template has already been done. It's just only in use for a very few pages, so I need to get it in place. Redstar 08:50, 3 December 2009 (EST)


 * Ah. Nevermind, I managed to figure it out. Thanks anyways for the advice. Redstar 11:06, 3 December 2009 (EST)

Autoconfirmed?
When I go to edit the BiS article, this thing at the top of the page says, "Note: This page has been locked so that only autoconfirmed users can edit it." I am able to edit that article, but I'm just really curious: What does it mean by Autoconfirmed users?
 * That's a good question... I have no idea, sorry. 19:21, 3 December 2009 (EST)
 * Could this mean users who are here long enough to be able to f.e. move pages? - 19:26, 3 December 2009 (EST)
