Revision deletion
Hi, could you please delete the only revision made by 107.170.37.176, of whom you just blocked? It contains a racist slur. Thanks! 16:07, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Heh, yeah, I was going to, but then I got called to do something for a few minutes :P Don't worry, though, I'll usually hide stuff like that. 16:11, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Additionally, just like your edits, it might be a good idea to minimize the number of log and revision deletions you make at once, because it is possible to select multiple revisions/events to delete (might want to ask users that also have that privilege). Just something I noticed. ;) 16:26, 1 June 2017 (EDT)

Featured Article rules
No, that's not what that rule means. It's talking about votes that has per'd the vote asking for removal. Those would be automatically removed if the original vote is gone. 16:51, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Featured_articles doesn't say that anywhere, though yes, they would be removed as the vote would be missing then. "Any vote that has per'd without providing any additional reason will also be removed" is placed within the information on removing support and/or oppose votes. Seems to be more along the lines of "you need to provide a removal reason of your own." 16:56, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * That's not what that rule means at all. It's talking about Votes that per'd the original opposition. Think about it, we shouldn't have to go through the same process again to remove votes that simply repeat what the original opposet said, that's why that rule is put up there in the first place. I've worked with this system for a long time, per votes when dealing with removal of opposes is always allowed. 17:00, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Per votes on removal have certainly gone through a number of times, but based on where this rule is placed, it seems like this statement has been misread for a while. Either that or the rule is placed in the wrong location. 17:06, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * It's just really badly worded, that's all. I don't want to change official rules around, so you might want to bring it up on the staff board. 17:08, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Already doing that. If it comes out that I'm in the wrong, I'll fix everything myself. 17:10, 1 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Just gonna quickly throw my weight in here, and refer you to my post here. Hopefully it will iron out all confusion :)

Obey Wario, Turn your section in on time-io!

SMG2 Update
Hi, nice job so far. It's great that you managed to split the missions into their own articles. As for me, the next one I need to expand is Bowser's Gravity Gauntlet, and I believe you're working on Bowser Jr.'s Fearsome Fleet next, so I guess we're even. All seems good so far!

The only thing we haven't resolved is how we'll complete World S. Since Rolling Coaster Galaxy is already expanded, how about if we take every other galaxy encountered. I'll take the smaller portion, and you take the bigger portion. How does that work for you? 22:14, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Sorry, I meant "portion" by the number of galaxies. Oh, and now that I think about it, since Rolling Coaster is complete, that leaves six galaxies, so we can easily split up the work there. 22:23, 4 June 2017 (EDT)
 * I finally completed expansion of my share of the missions in SMG2! The rest is up to you. 20:54, 13 June 2017 (EDT)

Anonymous
Hey, did you create the entire website? I think you did, because you're all over the place. 16:08, 18 June 2017 (CDT)
 * I have nowhere else to go. No, that would be . 17:11, 18 June 2017 (EDT)

OK. So can I remove my warning thing now? I hope you checked the section, because I've written something there. 20:28, 23 June 2017

Also, I noticed on your scrollbox that you offered condolences to 's family. If you don't mind, what happened to her? 15:53, 24 June 2017 (CDT)

I'm sorry about that. I offer my sincere condolences to her family and those who knew her. 16:07, 24 June 2017 (CDT)

Hey, man, can I be your friend? I know I'm relatively new, but you're the only one on here I really know. 22:09, 24 June 2017

I'm having trouble uploading a gallery on my page. If you could give me a lift, I'd like that. 21:25, 25 June 2017 (CDT)

How is New Super Luigi U not considered part of the main Super Mario series? It's basically a port of New Super Mario Bros U and is considered to be part of the sub-series. 19:11, 26 June 2017 (CDT) Sorry about that. I just want to make sure everything's in top quality. 19:23, 26 June 2017 (CDT)

Hey, man, what's the markup for your signature? I'd like to take a look at it for a second. 16:49, 30 June 2017 (CDT)

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY! FREEDOM!!! 21:41, 5 July 2017 (CDT)

I'm sorry about that! I'm just trying to make quality edits. I promise, I won't do that again. 16:31, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Speaking of which, is there anything I can help with? Anything that needs repairing or fixing or whatnot? I just want to contribute lots of good content and things in general to the wiki. 17:33, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

OK, I will. Thanks, man! You've been a big help here for me on the wiki. 18:08, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

I was just joking around. I didn't mean any harm. I just tried to use how little leeway the wiki's policy gave on humor, is all. But I'm sorry if that hurt anyone--really. 21:39, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

Logo
Oh, it's just a reference to this video by Egoraptor (except he's kind of pointing at the search bar when I'm guessing he meant the YouTube logo, haha). It's basically saying, "You might know me from Super Mario Wiki." 01:36, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Sorry
Sorry, again, about earlier. I usually try my best to avoid edit wars, so I am not really sure why I continued to revert that edit. I guess I just didn't feel that it was a large enough problem to bring up on their talk page at the time, but I guess I was wrong that time. It will make sure it won't happen again though. -- 22:27, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Source for SNES Classic Edition
You asked "What's the source for this?" on the history of Template:News, so I provided a reliable link below from Nintendo's official Twitter stating the SNES Classic Edition's legitimacy. 13:43, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Source(s): https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/879369032947847168
 * Yeah, soon after I made the edit, I checked and found the post myself :P Thanks, though! 13:46, 26 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Well, no problem regardless. ^_^ --Jjrapper100 (talk) 14:34, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

YouTube Artwork
I see you have very good artwork on your YouTube page. Do you think you can make this be the right size for my YouTube artwork without changing any details, just the size? 12:00, 27 June 2017 (EDT)
 * Thanks. It's looks good. I made some adjustments to the words, yet they still don't fit on a computer screen. The image would work on a TV screen, though. I haven't uploaded any videos on my channel, yet. I don't have any videos on my computer. I will put a link to my YouTube channel on my Userpage once I have videos. Any tips on YouTube? 12:43, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

good job
good job on the smb3 articles!
 * Thanks! 14:01, 4 July 2017 (EDT)

Mushroom World naming
We already have decisive proposals that motioned on the NES revision names for the worlds in Super Mario Bros. 3, especially considering the latest in-game name is technically Pipe Land in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U; an exception is unavoidable regardless of which name set is used, but the Land set is overall more consistent. Read into the comments of the latter if you need to understand more. Please move the upheld titles of Desert Land, Water Land, Giant Land, Sky Land, Ice Land, Pipe Land, and Dark Land all back to the way they were. Thanks. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * My proposal was cancelled because of the arguments made by LinkTheLefty and Walkazo, and I would recommend that you read them fully if you have not done so already. 15:19, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I should also point out that the first proposal LTL linked to definitely passed, and it decided that the locations should be moved to their Land names. Even if you disagree with it, you can't just ignore it, at least not without making a proposal to counter it. 15:42, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I understand the proposal passed, and I understand the points it made. The problem here is the policy, where the most recent name should be used. I also realize that the policy says "the more commonly used modern name should be used as the title, rather than the historic name", but isn't the most recent naming more "modern" than the original? 15:50, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Exceptions can be made if a proposal passes. 15:52, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * It has been discussed a few times here and there, but the Mushroom World names have a somewhat complicated history as far as name changes go, so it should fall under the "certain exceptions" alluded to in policy, which some other proposals have made wherever simple adherence to the rules fail sense. To answer the question on the Wii version of Super Mario All-Stars, it's the SNES ROM slapped on a disc, so it's the unique set with Dark Land / Bowser's Castle as Castle of Koopa. Even still, the Land names are the most common and popular worldwide, having been used practically everywhere else (instruction booklets, other media, and even as late as some Advance material). Yes, if we were being super-strict about it, Pipe Land would have to be the article to be reverted back since it's the one mentioned by name in the Pipe trophy of both the North American and European/Australian versions of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, but in practice, that approach would only stick out like a sore thumb. In proposal, we went for a winner-take-all method for consistency's sake, and since Pipe Land is the most recent in-game, non-rerelease example, that would be the Land set by extension. LinkTheLefty (talk) 16:00, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * So it's a consistency issue then... Ugh, every time I feel like I'm following policy, there is always going to be an exception or something I missed... Very well, then. I honestly like the consistent "Land" names myself as well, but I was trying to follow policy. ...I'll undo everything. 16:05, 4 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Done. 16:29, 4 July 2017 (EDT)

Edit Reversion
Hello. Why did you revert my edit? CityOfSilver (talk) 19:15, 5 July 2017 (EDT)

Big Boo's Haunt Edits
WHAT?! How is King Boo known as Big Boo in the DS version?! He HAS to be King Boo, right? I mean, COME ON NOW! And plus, can't Yoshi put on a cap when he enters the course? Please explain. Some of this just confuses me. 12:33, 6 July 2017 (CDT)

And for Yoshi's case, can't he use a cap on the screen where the player selects the star? Also, a Luigi cap is in the course, so couldn't he use that too?

SMB3
Did you, by any chance, happen to skip Water Land's levels? 15:48, 6 July 2017 (EDT)

Ice Block
Thanks for fixing that up! 16:24, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
 * You're welcome! 16:28, 6 July 2017 (EDT)

Hello, I've recommended 67.212.123.239 to create an account already. Can you unblock him/her? You cannot edit on your account/create an account while your IP address is blocked. Sam Spielberg (talk) 16:24, 7 July 2017 (EDT)
 * No. 16:26, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

Yoshi proposal
Due to recent developments, I've come to the conclusion that the course of action that Mister Wu suggested and that you agreed with is the best thing to do. I want to propose a reworking of the Yoshi's Island series page to include all Yoshi platformers, be they in the Yoshi's Island series or not. How should I go about this? Should I cancel my previous proposal and make a new one? 14:36, 8 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Alright, can you wait till tomorrow, though? I'm not sure I have time to make the proposal today.
 * EDIT: Nevermind, you already did it. 15:19, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

Look
I didn't know what I was doing when I was being a huge jerk. I will do anything to help and I promise I will NEVER EVER vandalize again! Wariopig (talk) 15:48, 13 July 2017 (EDT)Wariopig

Sorry
Sorry again about earlier. I wasn't trying to be a vandal. I just get frustrated when my edits keep getting undone, because I just want to contribute good edits and basically make the place better. So when my edits get undone, I just think I keep screwing up. 17:45, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Shroob Edit
Did you really say that the Shroobs were funny to look at? Well, I have to agree. But still, aren't they generally a dark and evil force in PiT? That was what I was trying to convey. 20:25, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

Your next project suggestions
Many of the levels in the original Super Mario Bros. has not been done (World 1-1 to World 2-1 have been done). Also, EVERY SINGLE LEVEL in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels has not been done, even though there are links to them on their respect worlds. These are only suggestions, but they need to be done according to the policy. 13:20, 15 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I was thinking about doing those, but I don't have an easily accessible version of them myself to use. I have Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, but that can be difficult to work with. I could hook up our NES or SNES, but they're having some issues cause they're old :P I don't know, I'll see what I can come up with regarding those, but I also have a few other unrelated projects in mind I can work on. 13:25, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

RE: SMB3
You're welcome. I just wanted to give a hand, is all. 16:03, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

I tried
It was my first time creating an article. I'm helping you with your project because I was being a jerk when I vandalized the wiki and I felt bad that you had put up with that crud. Wariopig (talk) 13:13, 16 July 2017 (EDT)Wariopig

World 7-8
Hi, did you somehow miss creating an article on World 7-8 of Super Mario Bros. 3? Just checking. 13:26, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

SM64 and SM64DS Course Edits
Oh, come on! Why can't we have all of the levels connected? I mean, all of the courses are still part of the same game, and by your reasoning, we should be separating World 1-Castle of New Super Mario Bros. from World 2-1, World 2-Castle from World 3-1, and so on and so forth. Why can't we do the same for Super Mario 64? That is, put all of the levels in one continuous string from Bob-omb Battlefield's first level to Rainbow Ride's last level? We do that all the time for the 2D Mario games. It just feels wrong to separate all of the courses like that. Is there something I'm missing? 17:06, 17 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Thing with the Super Mario Bros.-type games is they're linear. The last level of one world will lead right into the next world. Not the same with the 3D titles. 17:12, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

Vandal ATTACK!
UH OH! We got a vandal repeatedly trying to attack the wiki!!! Do you need my help? 18:36, 17 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Uh...no. We'll take care of them when they come. 18:41, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

Also, why is this guy obsessed with James Maupin? I know you don't know, but I had to ask that anyway. 18:52, 17 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Vandals are weird :P Also, was a little blunt with my earlier answer: You can help with reverting edits if you can, so long as you don't engage in an edit war or conversation with the vandal, but the blocking can only be done by members of the staff. If there's no staff member online (which has been rare, lately), there's always the admin noticeboard staff members watching it will get a notification from. 18:56, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

A Beanish Objection
WHAT? The Mario & Luigi (series) page says it RIGHT HERE! "The first four games feature at least one Beanish character." 20:08, 17 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Ah, that's because of Fawful, who is a Beanish character. The Beanish article is referring to the species as a whole, yes, but the statement made it seem like it was saying the other generic characters also appear, which they don't. 20:13, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

My Dang Talk Page
Okay, what the heck just happened on my talk page while I was gone? Oh, great. Another vandal, huh? Anyway, thanks for taking care of that for me while I was asleep. But for Pete's sake, what time-zone is this website in?! IT SAYS 19:something when you look at the Recent Changes edits when it's 2:00 in St Louis! 15:32, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Rule #2
 * According to the signature time stamps and the preferences, the wiki follows Eastern Time. It's currently 12:36 for me, but time stamp says 15:36 EDT. If you update your preferences, you can have the Recent Changes show the times for the timezone you're in. Not sure what to do about the signature time stamps, though. 15:36, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Lakithunder Conspiracy: Attack or Not?
Wait a minute. You can literally see that Lakithunder is blasting Peach's Castle with a lightning bolt! How is he not confirmed? 18:16, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * I was about to reverse your edit when Alex did at the same time. You can see a generic large thundercloud, but it was never said if that was caused by Lakithunder. 17:19, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * Yep. 18:20, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Does it HAVE to be said to be confirmed? Because that cloud looks VERY suspiciously like Lakithunder. The game might have just shown you it was Lakithunder who did it. 18:27, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yes, it has to be officially confirmed. Otherwise, it's speculation, which is something the wiki frowns upon. 18:29, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Might does not make right. Might makes speculation. 17:30, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * Wow, sniped on my own talk page :P Yep, pretty much. Despite the similarities, there's no evidence that say it was him. 18:31, 18 July 2017(EDT)

grumbles quietly All right, then. It's speculation. 18:32, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

Raccoon Mario vs Tanooki Mario
I know both have appeared in the 2D games. But that's the point: Tanooki Mario has only appeared in ONE 2D game-- its debut in Super Mario Bros. 3. Since then, he's commonplace in the 3D games, and Raccoon Mario is commonplace in the 2D games and not the 3D ones. And IT JUST SAID THAT RACCOON MARIO IS OFTEN CONFUSED FOR TANOOKI MARIO! "A related form is Tanooki Mario (which it is often mistaken for)..." Did you miss that?

Okay. Sorry about yelling earlier, also. I just kind of lost it when you said that the two couldn't be mixed up, when they're so similar. 19:50, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

I need help with my profile
I'm try to put an image of my mii in the infobox on my profile, but it won't show up. What do I need to type in to add it in? (GoombaBroadcast (talk))

Requesting permission to split Super Mario enemies
I've got a page ready to be submitted to split the list of common/notable enemies from the Super Mario series page, but I wondered if that would break any rules to do so without permission. 19:07, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * Article size states that it may need to be split if its page size is more than 50KB, which it is. It's even more than 100KB. However, the divide would look inconsistent with the other charts, unless you plan on making a conglomeration of the charts on one page? I don't think it would break any rules, though. I'll take it up with the others, though, see what they have to say. 20:15, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * So should I just wait then? If I did split it, I'd link it from the Super Mario page, although I think it should keep the pictured format. (that took a lot of work, especially getting the octoombas to look the same size) 19:17, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * Or should I just go ahead and do it? 19:38, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * Okay, I see you've already split it (and then reverted it), despite me saying to hold off. tbh, splitting would've been avoided if you took my earlier suggestion to do a "Related enemies" bar and not made the list that large. Not every enemy and obstacle needs to be added, otherwise we'd just say "Take a look at the List of enemies." 21:02, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * You didn't say to hold off first. I asked, then you said to hold off after I had already done it. The problem with "list of enemies" is that it includes enemies from other subfranchises, like Paper Mario and Yoshi, which are different. 20:08, 18 July 2017 (CT)
 * I thought "I'll take it up with the others" implied that there would be a discussion on the subject and that no further action should be taken, but I guess not.
 * I realize there is a large amount of enemies and obstacles in the main Super Mario series, and while I think you've done a good job with the chart, I also think there needs to be some re-thinking here. Even Yoshi's Island (series) and Donkey Kong Country (series) don't list everything. 21:12, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Donkey Kong and Wario Land have little to no consistency at all with enemies, so listing them all would be pointless, and nearly all the Yoshi enemies are Shy Guys, so that would just become dull. 20:14, 18 July 2017 (CT)

Coverage
Just out of curiosity, what do you think shouldn't be covered by MarioWiki? I've seen you having gripes here and there in your edit summaries and talk pages. I really have issues covering games in the Donkey Kong Country (series) and Super Smash Bros. (series) the way we do, just for two examples. I think coverage of those games detracts from maintaining pages within the scope of our wiki. I'm not saying games that feature Donkey Kong shouldn't be covered, because games like Donkey Kong (game) and Mario vs. Donkey Kong should be covered by, but the rest of coverage should be showcased on DKWiki. Same goes for covering Mario-related aspects of the Super Smash Bros. (series), but covering things like Ness and Ganondorf, leave that to SmashWiki. Coverage would be better on dedicated wikis instead of ours. With those articles where they should be, we can focus on Mario articles that truly matter. If we were to better define what should be covered, how should it be defined? Seems like the definition is very loose. -- 17:37, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yeah, Tara Strong, and yes, I do agree with how we should represent that voice actor. Definitely OK with a few references to Wikipedia, but if the page are dominated by them, redo the article. Had this problem with Yoichi Kotabe a while back.
 * Anyways, the games series in question, I feel have their own identity that doesn't fit the Mario universe. Just because the character is related doesn't mean their games should be covered. That is why I gave the two game examples I did. As for the Wolf O'Donnell example, I think we are underestimating, underutilizing, and not underemphasizing Special:Interwiki and . Not going to do it but if we turn that article and ones like it into a redirect to point to (or the article exists and I can't find it) and then use the Interwiki to link to SmashWiki, I could accept that middleground. SmashWiki covers both as a fighter and as an origin story. The origin story page links to all fighter pages. Does the origin story cover extensively the games he appeared in? No. Just a brief overview, and then links to LylatWiki for the detailed coverage. -- 18:17, 19 July 2017 (EDT)

You realize what this is, don't you, Alex95? This could possibly be one of the most major changes to the wiki ever, and just a HUGE project in general if this was undertaken. Count me in. 18:20, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Just thought of a different way to think about it. Do you see Super Mario 64 on DKWiki? No. Then why are we covering Donkey Kong 64? -- 18:26, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Because DKWiki has been very poorly kept up-to date, and DK is an offshoot of Mario. So it all fits. 17:28, 19 July 2017 (CT)
 * Those articles seem OK to me because the coverage is limited to crossover appearances with the Mario universe. It's not like we are covering games in the Dragon Quest series. Mario doesn't appear in Donkey Kong 64, and if he does, it would likely fit in List of Mario references in Nintendo video games. -- 18:42, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * By that logic, we're better off splitting a Wario Wiki from Super Mario Wiki as well. No Wario game features Mario, aside from a few cameos and references. Having a physical resemblance to Mario doesn't make him any more eligible to have full coverage on this wiki than Donkey Kong is. DK and all related things are as much part of the Mario universe as Wario. --
 * ALso, yes, Mario does appear in DK64, in the arcade machine. 17:54, 19, July 2017
 * Heh, I completely forgot about that. 18:55, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Cameo at best is what I think about that as validation to cover the game as a whole. -- 23:32, 19 July 2017 (EDT)

Thank you for ending that. 18:05, 19, July 2017
 * This conversation was designed between you and me, but others felt the need to jump in, making the conversation confusing to follow and reply to. I replied on my talk page because so much replying had to be done. One of my replies will explain what I was hoping to establish with this conversation, not exactly get what I want. It's going to take a lot of back and forth and cooperation between all sorts of members to shift focus of . With my my recent uploads, I will still support covering the Wiki with what it wants, but I will still have lingering thoughts and feel uncomfortable covering it, but am willing to push it aside and keep the conversation going without acting on it. -- 23:27, 19 July 2017 (EDT)

Super Hammer
I think it was talking about the spinning hammer badge that I forgot the name to. 18:26, 19, July 2017
 * ...Oh, wait, it's referring to the ability to knock enemies into each other in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. The attack gets worsened, but I'm not sure if the attack only does one point of damage... Will boot up game and check. 19:30, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * If memory serves me correct, regular hammer causes then to take 1 damage, Super causes the second to take 2 and the rest to take 1, and Ultra causes the second to take three, third to take two, and fourth to take one. 18:34, 19, July 2017

I was referring to the fact that the Super Hammer causes a set damage to enemies behind the one on the front. For exemple if you haven't gotten the Ultra Hammer yet and still have only the Super Hammer than the Super Hammer attack will deal 4 damage to the enemy on the front; if you're fighting a row of enemies with 4 defense each than the Super Hammer attack will not deal any damage to the enemy on front but it will always deal 1 damage to the enemies behind it even if they have those 4 points of defense. Also, if you use Power Lift to increase you attack power, you will cause more damage to the enemy on the front but will still only cause 1 damage to the enemies behind it. So the damage dealt to the enemies behind the one being attacked is not affected by defenses or effects that enhance your attack, having always a set number of 1 attack point 2.82.91.44 19:48, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
 * Yep, I think I figured that out already. 19:53, 19 July 2017 (EDT)
