I was known as InfectedShroom, once upon a time.

I felt like archiving. Get over it.

Shroom
So if you havent started writing your shroom, wanna do a paper mario parter review? If you have started, what one are you doing. Oh, and it seems that the last archive didnt work????

Well, then we can do like a wario issue, I do wario world, you do one of your games? we would just do our regular issues, but with a theme (wario, paper mario, ect.)

Mr. Shroomington

Hey Bloc Partier, could you help us with the Yoshi article, it really needs help if its gonna stay a featured article and weve still got a lot to do. 12:13, 24 July 2009 (EDT)

Hi Bloc Partier...
How are you? You never knew me (I think), but it's interesting to see you online (I heard you left the wiki for a bit for school or something). 22:57, 16 August 2009 (EDT)

Images
Why are you removing those images? If they get deleted, they clog up this page and that is a bad thing to have clogged up. If you don't want them in articles, could you at least mark them for deletion?
 * Thx, I'll help!
 * Srry I couldn't help (and you wasted a thank you : . It's thanksgiving where I live and it was dinner time so, you know.
 * OK, a bunch of people on chat want me to ask you why you believe those images should be deleted, so why?

Hello
Hi there. I was wondering what you don't like about the proposed way you voted on oppose for? FD09

Hm, that might have made sense for my first proposal but not this one. There is no suggestion that one media is more important than the other here, just that they are not all the same, which goes with there not being a canon. The argument that it currently gives no merit to one over the other isn't important because with either argument a user might assume one way or the other, there's no stopping that and neither is the lesser of two issues. The point of making it more organized is not to give one more importance over the other, it's to make it more organized. The idea you think it is organized now doesn't make sense because everything is just one to the next. There's no order.

So by that logic you would find it more orderly to put every type of library book in abc order rather than have it broken down into sections like horror, romance, fiction, while still keeping an abc order. You seem to be preferring a more cramped harder to sort through pattern. FD09

Image
 This is what it would basically look like. Of course it would say latest portrayal rather than portrayed by. Also, it would have had hair and eyes but at this point in time the voters seemed to not like that idea. FD09

My Proposal
I removed the Bowser??? and Tubba Blubba's Heart examples from my proposal. Please realize those are examples and not immediately affected by this proposal. My proposal is only meant to trigger consideration of merging of such articles, with discussion held on those of controversial disagreement. However, I decided that those two examples were too dissimilar to what I feel my proposal is trying to accomplish, so I removed them. Hopefully this explanation and the removal of those examples helps you reconsider your vote. Thank you. Redstar 22:58, 9 December 2009 (EST)

A while back...
When you still went by 'Infecto' you mentioned in Talk:Special World you wanted to talk about the changes to the overworld once Special World is completed. Was that ever done? I cant seem to find it. Thanks. MrMacMan 05:48, 17 December 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks anyway, i never got to finish my copy of SMW. have to pick it up again at some point, thanks for your work with the wiki, i appreciate it. MrMacMan 11:34, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Articles proposed for merging
Elemental crystals:
 * Earth Crystal
 * Fire Crystal
 * Water Crystal
 * Wind Crystal (Note that a vote in any direction will affect the three other crystal articles, so it'd be best to just add a single vote and discussion to the Earth Crystal page as that's where the work has already begun taking place)


 * Crystal Bit
 * Straw
 * Tuff Puff
 * Lava Bud
 * Petit Piranha
 * Here's a few other articles proposed for merging or splitting, so it might help if you put in something for these as well.

Split:
 * Blue Toad
 * Yellow Toad
 * Metal Mario
 * Yoshi Baby

Merge:
 * Bamma
 * Flare
 * Tubba Blubba's Heart (I'm no longer pushing for this one, since with some thought I don't think it'd be helpful. But, the merge is already up so some discussion would help in making it final one way or the other)

Patroller once more
Welcome back to the team, man. Keep up the good work. =) 22:53, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * Per Stooben. Glad to see you aboard The Polar Express the administrative team again. 23:05, 18 December 2009 (EST)
 * To think that right before you came online I was going to talk to you about something - I guess I'll do it after the congratulations calm down; good job on everything that you've been doing! P.S. You'll have to update your userpage :P

Hey, congrats from me as well! By the way, we haven't talked in a long time. So... how are you? Remember the good old times when we fought together to make the FA process better? Haha. I'm glad to see you're still around. 05:59, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Congrats BP! Welcome back! -- 11:04, 19 December 2009 (EST)
 * No prob, dude. :D 23:07, 19 December 2009 (EST)

Proposal
Well, it seems all that has died down so...I have a proposal to make about your proposal; a different format because I don't want to have too many proposals going on at the same time and about the same things...anyhow, I had this idea a while ago and here it is in step 1/step 2/step 3/so on and so forth format:
 * 1) Eliminate "Splits & Merges" section on this page.
 * 2) Use "talk page proposals" to split and merge articles.
 * 3) Have the templates, and  used on the articles to display a talk page proposal on the article.
 * 4) I can wire something up that will automatically update the proposals page where you list all of this (no matter where you list it) with all the new talk page proposals.

So, what do you think of this? It is basically your idea with a couple adjustments and the only downside being that we will not be able to propose anything except splits and merges on a talk page proposal (which is what you made this proposal to do I'm sure).

THANKS!!!!!! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU TOO :D!!!!!! -- 17:27, 19 December 2009 (EST)

About the merges...
Sounds fair. Redstar 15:53, 26 December 2009 (EST)

friend request
Helooooooooooooooo Bloc Partier, do you want to be friends? 17:11, 3 January 2010 (EST)

TPP
I have to ask you two different things.
 * 1) Could you make a rule in your talk page proposals thing that shows the format of TPPs? TPPs are disorganized and some have no body, some don't say the proposer and deadline. I'd even go as far as to suggest a template be made for them! If you can no longer do this then I'd suggest you make another proposal.
 * 2) I also need to know how TPPs are archived. Do we just take them off the page? So if the vote count has less than five votes are they just deleted? Do we archive them in the proposal page archive? I feel there is a lot to come clear about TPPs in the coming months and I hope it is clear soon considering the current amount of TPPs...
 * Well, you didn't disappoint at all! According to your proposal there is a rule saying the different format types so I could technically add that rule to the TPP section of the Proposals page. The archive format is OK - I would suggest a template but that may be to much.
 * OK, another problem: What is "Overtime"? I know the definition but when does it end? The Metal thing has been up for weeks and I suggest we make a deadline for it...soon. It's clogging up the proposals page and I think it should finally be blown over.

Hi
Hi Bloc Partier. Nice to meet you.

Bloc
I apologize for sounding as if you said that I was not allowed to overturn a previous proposal. I hope to win over your support for the proposal before the deadline. Thanks, Marwikedor 22:50, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

Captain Skull
I know your expertise is Wario Land articles. I have just made great improvements to Captain Skull article from Wario World. Maybe, if you add a few more images, such as the wrecked ship or Wario attacking him or collecting his key afterward (or best of all, all of these), we could nominate Captain Skull as a featured article! Do something good for a great Wario villain! Plus, he has not appeared for a long time, and may never appear again (never say never). I would like to see more marwikians getting to know the character and getting interested in him. Marwikedor 23:54, 22 March 2010 (EDT)

Ahem.
Um, excuse me, but why did you remove that rewrite template from Yoshi's Island DS? If you look at the screenshots' statements, they are written in a way that writer thinks, almost in a childish way, like 'beautiful crystals' and 'kangaroo and Yoshi make friends'. Someone else also agreed that the statements need to be rewritten, so I'll put the template back on, if you don't mind. If you don't agree with me still, reply.


 * Whoops. Didn't know you're part of the administration team or something. Sorry for offending you.


 * That's okay. They're just some statements from a gallery. No need to feel bad.

Proposal
Because we don't extend proposals, and it was past the deadline.

TPP Rule 5
It was missing because I removed it, after being persuaded by 's observations on the talk page; I'm so used to dealing with the proposal rules I guess I sorta forgot that other people do care about these things, and didn't bother waiting for a third opinion on the matter - my bad.

Anyway, is it alright with you if we scrap that rule? No one follows it anyway: they just extend the deadline until enough people vote to make a decision which, if memory serves, has always been in favour of the proposal, which hadn't been neglected because it lacked merit, but because there simply weren't enough people who knew or cared enough about the subject to weigh in (or at least make a definitive decision), as is the case with many talk page discussions. I also think the rule unnecessarily muddles up the general NO QUORUM / three-vote majority rules (7 and 8): based on what we've seen so far, I don't see why those rules can't simply be used in the TPPs as well. So, seeing as the currently incorrect extension strategy being used for the TPPs has actually worked out quite well, and in the spirit of making things as simple and user-friendly as possible, I think it would be best if we simply go with the flow and make it the actual policy. - 01:27, 27 March 2010 (EDT)
