Signatures
Hello! Just so you know, when you write messages on talk pages, you should sign them by adding  to the end of your message. Thanks! -- 16:20, October 5, 2022 (EDT)

Image Categories
Hey, I saw that you uploaded an image, but it doesn't have an image category. The image is not used on any other pages either, so I'm not too sure if you were planning on using that image as a personal image or adding it to an article. Regardless, an image should have a category. For example, If you were to upload a Mario Party 9 image, you would categorize the image by adding 2 square brackets on each side and them putting in Category: Mario Party 9 images in between those brackets. Thank you, and keep contributing! Note that this is just a heads-up for future uploads. Mari0fan100 (talk) 14:57, October 12, 2022 (EDT)

G&W controls
Any content related to the G&W version is covered on its own page, not the original SMB page. 21:52, October 24, 2022 (EDT)

Image categories
22:13, October 27, 2022 (EDT)

Please read through this reminder; should be replaced with a category link depending on what game the image is from. 04:24, October 30, 2022 (EDT)

I also suggest reading Trivia before adding more of this. Any information that is more relevant to a specific character, location etc. should go on its own page instead, and anything that can easily be placed in the main body of the article (like the edit on World 6-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)) should just be put there instead. 04:40, October 30, 2022 (EDT)

You did this correctly with. Categories are not added with curly brackets, and navigation templates like do not go on files. 02:30, November 2, 2022 (EDT)

Don't add general categories like "Merchandise" and "Super Mario Bros." Images should only have categories with "images" at the end ("Super Mario Bros. images" and "Merchandise images"). 03:56, November 4, 2022 (EDT)

Third-person writing
Make sure to avoid using "you"s on articles; "the player" and "they" should be used instead. 09:29, November 3, 2022 (EDT)
 * I’m fully aware of this, although I forget to do it very easily. From now on, I’ll check every part of my article to remove any unnecessary “you”s I can find. 14:07, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

Merchandise
"Merchandise" navigation templates and categories are only for articles specifically of merchandise, not for characters and objects that are featured in merchandise. 04:56, December 7, 2022 (EST)

NSMB2 coin sound
They're pretty much the same pitch to me (comparing this with NSMB2's coin sounds). Can you perhaps provide a detailed comparison if they're actually different pitches (and how can you tell through the music and voices in the trailer)? 07:54, December 11, 2022 (EST)

A few things.
1. Which version of Sonic Mania? Regular or +? 2. Do you have a Roblox account? 14:30, January 06, 2023 (CST) 1. If your referring to the rejected reference in Talk:List of references in third-party video games then it’s both. 2. Yes, why? 14:07, June 25, 2023 (EDT)
 * 1. Okay. That's fine. I played + before the S1P, so I didn't really get the reference. 2. Maybe sometime in the future we could do Roblox together as acquaintances, if that's okay. 10:36, January 24, 2023 (CST)
 * 1. That’s fine. 2. Sounds good, I’ll probably link in in my user page pretty soon. 14:07, June 25, 2023 (EDT)
 * One other thing, I saw that you listed Sonic Mania as one of your favorite non-Mario related games. Is it okay if you let me know which version you were talking about? 16:44, January 25, 2023 (CST)
 * The Switch version. 14:07, June 25, 2023 (EDT)
 * "Facepalms" I meant regular or +. At least I know the console. 11:58, January 26, 2023 (CST)
 * The original, not Plus. 14:07, June 25, 2023 (EDT)

Duplicate uploads
A couple of the Mario movie posters you've been uploading were already uploaded by another user to the wiki before you, but the user never added them to any page. It's possible you wouldn't have known they existed because of this, but you can check Special:NewFiles (the "New files" link at the top-right of Recent Changes) to see the most recently uploaded files before uploading so you don't accidentally upload duplicates. 20:50, February 10, 2023 (EST)

Signature
If you want to use a custom signature for talk pages, the code for it should go on a signature page (User:NintendoFan08/sig, which is then used to sign), not on talk pages directly. After creating the page, go to your preferences, type   in the "New signature" field, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext" checkbox, and save, then when you sign with ~, the signature page is used.

Your current signature is also too long; it should fit in this box:

After making your signature page, you can check with " ". 11:43, June 26, 2023 (EDT)
 * Thank you for letting me know. As you can see, I have changed my signature to meet the guidelines. I will keep this in mind for later version of my signature. 17:34, June 26, 2023 (EDT)
