User talk:TPG/Archive 1

Welcome to the talk page, I guess. I have a thing about spelling and grammar, so if English is your first language then please try to act like it.

Rules are fun.

 * 1) Try not to swear.
 * 2) Courtsey please!
 * 3) Friend requests are permitted, but not as your first message. You have to talk to me a for a bit first.

That's all, folks! Start talking! Or not... 

Courtesy
It was my intention to create the articles for CTTT levels. As per Courtesy, you should ask before engaging in the project. 15:53, 8 March 2015 (EDT)

My goodness! Sorry! I had no idea! I do apologize :p Shy Guy in a Bush (talk) 17:35, 8 March 2015 (EDT)


 * You can ask me if you want. I made articles for half of the levels already. 11:02, 9 April 2015 (EDT)

Re: The 'Shroom demo?
Hello Pyro Guy! I have replied to your message on my talk page. Please take a look when you have a chance. Thank you, 13:59, 15 May 2015 (EDT)

Blue Lava Bubble proposal
I add a new option to my proposal. You can change your vote if you want.-- 15:41, 12 June 2015 (EDT)

RE: Mario Maker
It depends based on standards.

Special 'Shrooms

 * Hey, your section is being merged back into Pipe Plaza so please send your section to me. I'm going on holiday on July 13, so if I don't have your section by then, then it can't be featured in the issue.

Last Warning
You are not allowed to create another account on the wiki, especially if that account is going to be used to flame users, even yourself.

RE:Last Warning
One of the first rules of appealing a warning is that if it is given by a staff member, it cannot be appealed. Secondly, the reason your IP was unblocked was so you could continue editing, creating another account in itself is not a bannable offence unless done multiple times, it was not done because I believe your story, if I did then Starkuss would've been unbanned. The reason your IP was blocked in the first place is because IP addresses are banned for 24 hours if linked with a banned account.

Patrollers count as "admins" too. From Glossary: "Administrators (Admins) - Another name for Sysops. Also used as an umbrella term for all the promoted ranks (Sysops, Patrollers and Bureaucrats)." The FAQ page also states it, it's general knowledge for most users, and Special:RecentChanges/Whosonline even has colour-coding for wiki staff members: these colours also appear in page histories. He's a Patroller; his warnings can't be appealed. - 14:11, 23 July 2015 (EDT)
 * Yeah, I'm already bringing it up with the other admins that those pages are less than ideal. - 14:31, 23 July 2015 (EDT)

Blocked for 2 Weeks
After reviewing the IP information in-depth, your story that you were at a friend's house is plausible, however the second account started editing before you edited from your account, and started trolling you after you went out of your way to welcome then after they made 5 edits (the minimum for auto-confirmation, ignoring the 4-day requirement, but most people forget one or the other). Clearly, you knew it was your friend, yet you tried to play ignorant, and then the two of you alternated editing, apparently from the same computer. Whether or not it was you and your friend, or just you alone, the whole thing was clearly a coordinated attempt to get attention; either way, you deserve that Last Warning. The only reason you weren't punished further for your snide reaction to the warning was that the policy pages are outdated, however you should still know to not talk to Patrollers that way, and ignorance can't excuse you bothering a retired admin in an attempt to get the warning revoked, despite both 876 and myself, a Bureaucrat, making it clear that the warning was saying. Had you been an innocent victim, it would be understandable that you're "butthurt", but you're not: you're an impudent little liar, and this sort of behaviour is not tolerated around here. - 17:41, 25 July 2015 (EDT)

I don't need any help creating articles and can create them all myself. 09:41, 16 August 2015 (EDT)

re:Pipeproject
The wiki pipeproject was abandoned because nobody used it and wikis aren't really the best platform for coordinating and discussing stuff. It was moved the forum, where it works much better. --Glowsquid (talk) 08:14, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Re: Sprite
Hey, thanks for everything again! I'm fairly new here so I pretty much didn't know a thing. Is this how that works? > FlamingJumpCat (talk) 14:34, 26 August 2015 (EDT)

Sorry, I didn't know that it was your intention to do them. I was just trying to help. Keep up the great work! Shisui2009 (talk) 17:14, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

Re: Clear Twitter Sprites
Hey, sorry for the late replies too, I'll be sure to get working on my page soon, as I haven't had the time yet...

About the sprites, I'm a little confused as to what you meant, did you mean just upload the files as they are in the page, or actually re-create them clearer?

Fake
That's really wierd, I dunno why he had the need to impersonate like that... 23:39, 4 September 2015 (EDT)

Neo Bowser City
I don't mean to single you out or anything, but I'm just genuinely curious: since you've supported the Neo Bowser City nomination, you presumably disagree with the opposing reasons that I brought up. Would you be able to explain why you disagree? Whether you think that the problems aren't that big of a deal or even if you think I'm exaggerating on the article's qualities, I'm interested in knowing.

Costume Mario
Hi. When the wiki is trying to cover something upcoming/brand new. You can't "shotgun" the edits as it'd prevent the information coming more quickly to the wiki. So please, let others continue to do what they are doing.
 * Don't worry about the duplicate section, those sometimes just happen.

Costume Mario drinks orange juice and explodes
Yeah, I hope you weren't discouraged. If there are sprites from Spriters Resource or other resources for official sprite rips, feel free to go crazy with the reuploads. 16:37, 10 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Again, just be patient. It won't take too long, I promise. 17:03, 10 September 2015 (EDT)

Do you plan on uploading higher resolution (ie. the same size as your previous non-offical sprites) images of the official costume Mario sprites? 14:36, 13 September 2015 (EDT)

'Shroom
Heya Pyro Guy! I'm sincerely sorry about how late I'm getting back to you, but I sent you a PM on the forums regarding your application. Whenever you could check it out, that'd be great! :'D Thank you!

Costume Mario proposal
Walkazo has some good guidelines to put up, I think it's a good compromise. I think you should restart or rewrite your proposal and rewrite following what Walkazo posted in the comments section. 19:12, 15 September 2015 (EDT)
 * I think you should delete and reset all votes, since you drastically changed the proposal. Also, after you changed it, you should message all voters to let them know that the proposal has been changed 15:21, 16 September 2015 (EDT)
 * When you have reset your proposal due to drastic changes, that's a better measure. 15:30, 16 September 2015 (EDT)/
 * It is. Even Walkazo wants you to reset the proposal. Don't worry too much, even if I did give you bad advice, you won't get into any punishment over it. 16:04, 16 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Forget what I said there. I am really sorry for misleading you. I didn't know better, and as I said, even I don't fully understand the entire process myself. If there's anyone to blame, it's me. 17:22, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

Ah, I've voted. Thanks for the notification. 15:23, 16 September 2015 (EDT)

Is it OK for me to do the edits to the Costume Mario page once this proposal has been solved, or do you want to do it? 00:16, 18 September 2015 (EDT)
 * You can do it all if you want, but I've already got the code handy here if you want to use it. I was just experimenting with the code of the table, because I was curious about how your ideas and Walkazo's ideas would look on the actual table. 18:39, 18 September 2015 (EDT)
 * Oh, so that's what you meant by 3x the size, I was just using the 45px coding on the sprites. I thought you were going to do 3x the size in the page's coding, not the images themselves, my mistake. In that case I'll change the background in the table's coding, and you can do the image resizing. How about that? 16:23, 19 September 2015 (EDT)

Super Mario Maker:Super Mario Bros. Sprites
Since NWPlayer123's datamine came out, I'll be uploading all of the Super Mario Maker:Super Mario Bros. Sprites to the Super Mario Maker Gallery. If you want to fix them, feel free, but I don't want to give you to much work, since you're also doing the Costume Mario Sprites. Let me know if you need any help, Ok. 17:11, 26 September 2015 (EDT)
 * That is fine and all, but I'm afraid that they will be in a table, and that they will be blurry, like the Costume Mario sprites. 20:14, 27 September 2015 (EDT)
 * My mistake, they're actually fantastically clear. Thanks anyways! 20:21, 27 September 2015 (EDT)

I found a backwards ? block costume on the Costume Mario sprite sheet. Do you know if it is used or unused? Do you want to add it to the Costume Mario table and re-size it, or should I? 15:16, 5 October 2015 (EDT)
 * That makes sense. I thought it was another costume, or a different version of the same costume (like the inklings underwater). It had its own set of animations, that's what had me confused. thanks for clearing that up for me.  17:18, 5 October 2015 (EDT)

Fun Stuff - October 2015
This month's issue comes out October 17th, so please get your section in preferably by the 10th! Thank you! :'D

Making sprites bigger, the easier way
Open notepad. Copy and paste the article's coding into notepad. Then, crtl f, go to replace, and type in the "find" table, "|center" (or whatever common value table images have,it could be merely ".png" and in the replace table, add "|center|30px". Select ok, and it will automatically generate the size parameters for all sprites. Make sure you preview changes first! I've done all of your Costume Mario sprites for you this way, and you've technically made my work harder since you inputted all of these inconsistent image values in them. 17:21, 2 October 2015 (EDT)


 * No, keep doing what you were doing, Pyro Guy. I reverted Baby Luigi's incorrect changes to 30px and told her not to hijack your proposal again. You still might wanna get the Costume Mario changes done as soon as you can, however: it seems this idea is a big draw for edit-snipers for one reason or another... All bets are off on sprite tables elsewhere around the wiki, but this page was your proposal, so you should get to do it. - 18:49, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 * Just forget what I said. I was being hot-headed, incredibly stupid, rude, and spontaneous there. I didn't mean you any harm, I just wanted to help you out. I should have contacted you before I made those changes, but my excitement for using automation (and that it works fine) + my overall mood got the better of me before I can think rationally and ask myself how would I feel if someone did all of that before I could? But still, the whole notepad replacement business is something I think you should keep in mind, as, if you need any sort of replacements in the table in the future, you can do that as well. 19:43, 2 October 2015 (EDT)
 * @ Too late for that- has done the whole thing. I feel that if I were to take any action, I would probably be discourteous towards him, so I'm gonna step back and let someone else sort it out.
 * @ It's fine, I would have done that anyway, (and I have done in the past) if I wasn't recommended to give them their accurate sizes. 03:51, 3 October 2015 (EDT)


 * Oh, sorry to hear that. If the edits are proper, yeah, there's nothing to do - not out of discourtesy to him, but just because there's no point in reverting good content. You were right to only give him a polite heads-up, but since I'm a third party, I gave him a firmer message about the discourtesy he showed you. Hopefully you'll have better luck in enacting your next proposal... - 18:51, 3 October 2015 (EDT)
 * I undid my edits to the page. I honestly wasn't thinking at the time (mostly because I got about an hour of sleep the whole week). Niiue (talk) 21:28, 3 October 2015 (EDT)

Costume Mario
Just dropping by to apologize for edit-sniping earlier. I wasn't really thinking (sleep deprivation played a big part of this), and I ended up doing something I'd otherwise never do. So yeah, sorry about that, I won't do that again. Niiue (talk) 05:54, 4 October 2015 (EDT)
