User talk:Bop1996/Archive 2

Hello, you have reached my talk page. I'm going to warn you straight up that I am a serious nerd about a lot of things and that I will reflect that in our conversation.

If you plan on having an idle conversation, you should probably read my userpage so you have some idea of who I am. I've been around these parts for roughly a year now, and am a patroller, so if you have some sort of question, I can try to answer it or I can refer you to someone who can. I also have a forums account here, so feel free to pm me there as well. I have accounts on MetroidWiki and ZeldaWiki by the same name, so I can attempt to help with any issues regarding those two wikis I suppose.

A few rules you agree to by posting on my talk page:
 * 1) I will reply on this page
 * 2) No spamming, flaming, or any type of offensive language
 * 3) Spelling and grammar should be as correct as possible
 * 4) Sign all of your comments or I will add Template:Unsigned to them. If I haven't added the template, that doesn't mean you should add it for me, I probably had a reason.
 * 5) Languages are English and 1337-speak, no other languages accepted
 * 6) For other NIWA wiki users; casual discussion can go on any wiki, wiki-based goes on the wiki it is based on.

Now that that's over with, feel free to create a new header and talk to me.

My current status is: Skyward Sword has released; a little less active than usual

RE: Favor
Done, lemme know if you ever need anything added to it or you want it unprotected.

Merge
Hi. You need to merge this page since it violates our userspace policy.-- 20:49, 19 June 2011 (EDT)

Alright.-- 16:16, 20 June 2011 (EDT)

Hey! Listen!
I know you're on a mini-hiatus and all, which is commendable since the fruits of your efforts on the Metroid Wiki will help it and this one, but if you haven't already, I highly recommend getting your hands on OoT 3D. I've spent the day playing through the child dungeons, and I have to say that the game is just gorgeous (bottles look like bottles, Great Fairy's breasts don't look like sharpened weapons, etc.), and the fact that you can use the 3DS gyroscope to look around and aim weapons in first-person makes the game a lot more fun to play (making shots more precise), and it certainly is nice not having to interrupt gameplay to equip an item. My only gripe thus far is that Navi is actually more annoying, as Nintendo added Sheikah Stones (larger versions of those one-eyed stones) to give first-time players hints. I've been ignoring them, but Navi will occasionally ask if I want to use one (her voice is still irritating). I can't wait to see what they did with the Temple bosses...anyway, this should keep you occupied until Skyward Sword, which, according to a small booklet in the OoT case, comes out in the fall.
 * I almost didn't read the message; I ignore any messages with that at the beginning on instinct. I'd love to play OoT 3D, I just need a 3DS first... Some things I'd rather not see with updated graphics, such as any scene with Princess Ruto or any Great Fairy's fountain (although Link looking woozy at one in MM would be funny in 3D). Do you mean to tell me that you won't have to go into your menu fifty times to complete the Water Temple? I heard about those Sheikah Stones, they looked better than a Super Guide, if you get what I mean. I brought up the whole linking issue on MetroidWiki and the admins all agreed that the best solution was to have better content. One of them asked me to work on Samus' article, specifically the Prime 3 section (I haven't played the game yet, but it's not so bad). So basically now I'm making huge edits to major articles there instead of making 10-character minor edits to articles on mini-games or some boss or something here... It's definitely a new experience... It felt weird replying here, but it's actually a little easier...
 * Wow, I'm impressed (sorry about the message intro...didn't know when you'd see it). I'd make an account over there and help out, but my Metroid knowledge isn't that great compared to my Mario knowledge...in any case, I might consider it if what you're doing gets overwhelming. Don't know if you've checked, but the admins decided that MetroidWiki is the source to use. Anyway, Ruto and the Great Fairies aren't that bad (though you have to wonder how they got past the ESRB). Also, everything menu-related is on the touch screen. Two items can be assigned to the X and Y buttons, while two others can be assigned to I and II areas on the Touch Screen. That means that you can equip the Iron Boots or some other item without interrupting anything, and you can also access your essential gear and map through tabs. Now, the only thing you can do upon pausing the game is saving or quitting. As far as the Sheikah Stones go, I'm glad they don't actually do things for you (an example I saw out of curiosity was Link using Din's Fire to get into the Shadow Temple, but the game doesn't tell you how to get it). Since my last message, I completed the main game and unlocked Master Quest. If you played it on GameCube, you're still in for a new experience because they mirrored the entire overworld (similar to TP). I'm in the Forest Temple now, and let me tell you, I have to do everything in my power to avoid raging at Miyamoto. It is not fun getting killed by a Stalfos after three hits. I wish I could say my contributions here are on par with yours over there, but I can say that I've given Reggie the respect he deserves.
 * Wow, how many heart pieces did you collect first? The Reggie article could never capture how awesome he is, but you've done a fine enough job capturing it (the quote passing admin inspection was enough for me :)). Good on the admins deciding to link to the NIWA affiliate, that should help with the confidence factor among daily contributors (all three of them). Both ZeldaInformer and ZeldaDungeon liked the changes that balanced old and new, I personally thought the Master Quest addition was genius (don't want more ReDeads in the game). You don't need to create an account if you think you can't contribute enough, although at this point almost any positive contribution is welcome. I'm not overwhelmed, I enjoy 2,000 character edits with two or three references from the logbook and entire paragraphs to rewrite. Ruto passed the ESRB without a T rating? I am imagining what the Water Temple would be like without going into the menu to do Iron Boots, and it seems a good deal like TP's Lakebed Temple... As you can tell, I'm still checking my messages, and I did split Koopasta and Koopasta Dish as per my TPP, but that's just about it, my editing is on MetroidWiki for the time being.
 * Heh, I found the quote amusing, and I figured that since it captured Reggie's personality, I would just tack it on and see how it went (considering the stance on Bob Hoskins, I didn't think there'd be an issue). Concerning MetroidWiki, I went ahead and created an account over there, figuring that some help would be better than none. I've actually found that I know more than I thought, as I'm sure you'll see by the recent changes (username should be obvious to spot). Anyway, I've collected two or three Heart Pieces so far. They were never really something I looked for, but I should probably look for some considering I only have six hearts (which means Stalfos take two hearts per hit). It doesn't help that OoT 3D provides me with my first ever Master Quest experience (cows inside Jabu-Jabu? WTF?). As for Ruto, she doesn't look that different, honestly, just less jagged (lol). Another thing about the Water Temple I should mention is that they added glowing-colored borders at the entrances to the rooms in which you change the water levels to make navigation a little easier, and on a unrelated note, they brightened the sky slightly during Ganon's fight so you can see him more easily. There are tons of other aesthetic changes you just have to see for yourself. In case you're wondering, there are no Sheikah Stones in Master Quest. Well, I think I should try and improve the MetroidWiki now to relieve my ennui....

Reply
You must have a lot of time on your hands...I commend your efforts, and those are some interesting anecdotes. Wish I could say the same about myself. My sentiment concerning my day-to-day activities goes something like this:

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

It is incredibly irksome not to have time to do what I want (only reason I'm on here is because I'm temporarily putting off some homework). I haven't been able to touch Majora's Mask in about a month (my progress extends no farther than obtaining the Oath to Order) or anything for that matter. When I get free time, I spend it playing the NES games I got as a 3DS Ambassador (if you ever get around to getting a 3DS, you can get them starting in October, though you'll have to pay for them) and waiting for the GBA games (which you won't get in the foreseeable future). I'm also trying to read occasionally (currently on Christopher Hitchens' memoir). On a good day, I get to play a few levels or a world of Yoshi's Island. I have no SNES, GBA, or 3DS VC copy (as that doesn't exist yet), so I shouldn't have to tell you how I'm playing it. Time is a cruel mistress, monsieur. It passes most slowly when we anticipate something and passes most quickly when we dread something. In my case, my birthday's coming up in three weeks, and I'm impatient, but at the same time, it makes me feel old. I'll probably feel old when SM3D Land comes out even though it's new, since it references so many classic and endearing games. I swear, if Nintendo wasn't around anymore, I'd have stopped playing games years ago, and it depresses me that so many people think quality lies behind the barrel of a gun. I probably sound either cynical or suicidal, but that can't be helped. No sense in complaining, though...eventually, I'll get what I've been waiting for, and while I'll not have more time, it will at least be more manageable. I apologize if this decimated your mood. Try reading some Poe; he's quite uplifting. ;)

I
had to cross out the comment because hes trying to get the admins to threaten to block me and i didn't do anything wrong to any photo. I was trying to be nice but someone is trying to be mean to me about that so thats why they needed to be edited.--Brandondorf9999 15:17, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

OK
OK dude.

Comments
Comments are not supposed to be minor, just so you know.


 * I've never heard anything of the sort, but if you can find something official saying I shouldn't mark them as minor, I'd be happy to keep them as non-minor. I wasn't aware it really mattered at all. I can see where marking comments as minor might be frowned upon, but I think it's up to personal preference of the user.


 * OK, I saw someone get a reminder for marking comments as minor, though.


 * Well then, thanks for the heads-up. If an admin asks for me to not mark them as minor, I shall do so.

Just a confirmation of the Peach and Toad solo pictures...
We are. I addressed on both talk pages for the Princess Peach and Toad articles that I'll take care of changing those pictures to the solo arts of them for Super Mario 3D Land since I believe they best represent those characters so far for the respective articles -- obviously when the SM3DL game itself gets released. So no worries on that front. Take care. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 20:23, 7 October 2011 (EDT)

The Paragoomba artwork
Well the transparency is OK, just a few parts have bad transparency talk to M&SG if it is OK to have it transparent even though though there is a few bad areas. I wasn't the one he made the proposal, I am just following it.

Alright, I guess it is fine.

Autopatrolled
Congrats on doing such a great job editing the wiki! It's clear we can trust you to make consistently solid contributions, and so the staff all agreed on making your edits autopatrolled from hereon in. Keep up the good work! - 15:31, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Wow, thanks!
 * Congratulations.
 * Thanks. I guess my P.P.S. doesn't apply anymore... And I had a whole list of things to say in that same vein...
 * Heh, you can still bug me with incessant questions, provided they're productive. ;)

:(
Sorry, i knew it was all a matter of time...I'll only ask Ultra fuzzy to enter the chat, ok? 17:08, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry
Sorry, but I had a LOT of cutting and pasting to do. I also had a LOT of typos.

Stop Now
Bop, I get the point. Please leave me alone!!!!!--Thejfh1999 18:40, 18 October 2011 (EDT)

But.
I already have a last warning. Now I have two? I can't have two last warnings. --Mechawave 20:59, 19 October 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm surprised you took that seriously. But it makes sense. --Mechawave 21:03, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

Re:Blue Coins PipeProject
When I made the PipeProject, I was only thinking of making numbered lists, but now that you mention it, a table would also work well. I think it would look more professional and also be more organized. If you want to, you can go ahead and change my numbered list on Sirena Beach as well as start aking tables on other articles. -ThirdMarioBro: Mario,   Luigi,  and me! 21:08, 19 October 2011 (EDT)

Talk page proposal deletion
Hey, do you know how to end a talk page proposal. Like deleted by proposer. Because I thought about the Mario Golf and Tennis proposals and now see there is no point in changing the name. Can you tell me how to delete them?


 * You can either request for an admin to delete it in the comments section of the proposal in question, or you can ask an admin when he or she is online.


 * Do you know any admins? Cause I sure don't.


 * Gamefreak75 is online currently, and he's an admin. Or you could, like I said, just request a deletion in the comments section, and an admin will probably delete it.

Thanks
Yeah, after I saw you correct the spelling, I realized I spelled it wrong. I am not good at spelling so I make a lot of mistakes. Thanks for helping out and fixing my mistakes.


 * I thought about that, but I have no idea on how to add the licensing.


 * Again, thanks.

Blue Coins PipeProject (continued)
If you want to find the blue coins easily, you can use YouTube videos as a guide. I use the videos made by "davincentcode", and I also find the blue coins in my game while I watch so that I can make sure the locations are correct. Just a helpful suggestion. -ThirdMarioBro: Mario,   Luigi,  and me! 22:46, 21 October 2011 (EDT)


 * Just a question, how high is the definition on those videos? I can rip images from YouTube videos quite easily with the print screen command, so if they have a high enough resolution, I could actually get an image for the articles. As for the locations themselves, almost nothing is easier to use than good old GameFAQs, so that's fine for me.


 * The videos have 240p and 360p. It should work fine, since I ripped these two images: SMSTurboCourse1.jpg SMSTurboCourse2.jpg from a YouTube video that I believe was on 360p size. What I did, however, was download to RealPlayer and "trim" the images, so I don't know if you would get the same resolution with Print Screen. Hopefully it'll work. -ThirdMarioBro: Mario,   Luigi,  and me! 14:26, 22 October 2011 (EDT)


 * It should work if we use it in a small section of the table, but it won't have the same quality as some images I've uploaded that have 720p in their videos. If I get enough free time, I'll see if I can make it work.

Well...
OK, I'll leave Rawby alone, but someone's gonna block him eventually, right? 09:24, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

RE: If you're really online
I blocked him about a second before you posted that.

Also, up until a few minutes ago, I was somewhere else. 09:35, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Re:Congrats
Thanks! :)

06:46, 23 October 2011 (EDT)

Re:Stub
thank you for the heads up.

Thanks for the notification...
Looks like Phoenix already took care of it, though. Oh well, at least it got done. ;)

Sorry for the mix up on the Ridley page --Yoshidude99 09:45, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Ok I've never played Metroid but I thought he was alitffied with Zeebes since he is that stage in Melee --Yoshidude99 09:57, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Ok--Yoshidude99 10:01, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Regardless?
It isn't regardless. I pay much attention to what I write... English isn't my native language and I make some mistakes :(. 16:14, 6 November 2011 (EST)
 * Regardless is a normal word in English, and it basically means "in spite of" something or things listed directly before. Actually, aside from a few mistakes, your edits are better than a lot of native English speakers', so you're doing better than you think.

Question
Hey, I was wondering, how does one become an autopatrolled user? Also, is that the nest step from autoconfirmed?
 * The admins sometimes assign the "rank" to users that have consistently made quality edits. It doesn't come with new abilities, but it indicates that the user is trusted enough to continue making quality edits (so the edits don't need to be patrolled).
 * Aside from what he said, it also doesn't come with any responsibilities, so it's kinda cool like that. Also, a lot of retired admins are autopatrolled.
 * O.K. thanks.

Archive-stuff.
Hi, Bop. I was wondering one thing: did I archive this talk page correctly? It was my first time archiving a talkpage, which is why I am asking. 13:27, 17 November 2011 (EST)
 * It seems to be consistent with all the other archives out there, and you didn't remove any comments or content, so it seems that you did it just fine.
 * 'Kay. Thx for the quick reply! 14:03, 17 November 2011 (EST)

I didn't know that...
I didn't know you can get reported for deleting your messages...Wow i only been on here not even a week and i'm getting warnings.

RE; Mainspace redirects to userspace pages
Hey there; yes, you are right in making that conclusion. Just place the delete template on said pages and the higher ups on the staff should take care of it accordingly. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 13:01, 23 November 2011 (EST)

Pale Piranha Proposal

 * Your proposal has passed, so when you have the chance, be sure to do the split. 19:10, 23 November 2011 (EST)
 * Alright, thanks for reminding me.

Your sig
Your sig is too long. Shorten it to fit in this box.
 * Fixed.

RE:Just out of curiosity...
for you information, I have replied on my user talk page. :). Tacopill 14:26, 29 November 2011 (EST).

Toriansturgess
Dude, my account was hijacked.


 * Well, if that's true, then you'll probably not commit any of the offenses you've been warned for, and you should be fine. You are still responsible for the actions on your account, so the warnings will stay on your account. Sorry for any inconvenience.
 * If your account was hijacked, then change your password -- 19:55, 1 December 2011 (EST)

Your Undo
Sorry for the late response, but you undid my edit because I put "you" in it. (I realized that I shouldn't do that soon after.) But why remove the whole sentence.

Roads (Talk - Me on Wikia - Me on Wikipedia) 13:08, 10 December 2011 (EST)
 * It was because the content was unnecessary, and difficult to understand the way you had it phrased. However, you seem to have fixed it in your more recent edit, so it seems fine now.

Re Minigames
are you sure cause when i looked at the history of Category mini game Walkazo said it was to replace the Minigame category plus the Mini-game category still exists
 * My mistake than i'll start undoing my edits

Hello
Dude, you are so intelligent.


 * Okay, thanks for the compliment.

RE:Userspace
About this page, I have put it up for deletion. Sorry about this, I didn't know it was not allowed. Also, I know some other users that have a userbox page. I don't mean to dob on them or anything, but I should let you know if it is not allowed. ;) You are a great contributer Bop1996! How about a friend request?

Hi, Again
Dude, I don't mean to bother you, but I might upload some Mario Kart Ds images as well as some Mario Kart Wii ones? Is that okay? I think I might be able to get them in higher pixels. In case you need some edit work, leave a message on my talk page, okay? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. User talk:ShadowIke2008
 * Just make sure they aren't duplicates/unnecessary and add them in aesthetically pleasing and consistent ways to articles, and that's almost never a bad idea. Happy New Year to you as well.


 * I'm doing it for both the nitro and retro. The ones that have been already done i won't do.

 * Sure, just look in the section above for my userbox.

Hi I was just wondering
What do you mean the change in the Mr. L page is not noteworthy? The trivia that I put my own under is among those lines and I just noticed that piece of info so I decided to add it. (New to this website so I'm open to any changes or suggestions users may have for me) Dr. Macro Mindium 20:45, 2 January 2012 (EST)
 * Trivia is reserved for insightful, intriguing facts that don't fit anywhere else in the article. Mario knowledge (or lack thereof) about Mr L.'s identity is already covered in at least Mario's and Mr L.'s sections on the SPM story, so therefore the trivia was not necessary to add there. And if you're looking for info on wiki policy or coding, our policy pages, writing guidelines, and help pages are a good place to start. If you encounter a problem not covered in any of those categories, feel free to ask a sysop or patroller for help, or you can just ask me.

Olors 20:44, 5 January 2012 (EST)
I got a userspace warning, even though I didn't know what a userspace warning was until the last few months':-/
 * I'm pretty sure I told you what to do about it recently after you received said userspace warning. And you can always check the Warning Policy or the template's page to see what the deal is in those cases.

Hello, can you please watch over this user for me (you appear to be online). I have to work on testing facility. Thanks for your help, 08:19, 9 January 2012 (EST)
 * I'll revert his edits for as long as I'm online, so I'll deal with him.
 * Alright, I have someplace to be soon, so you're on your own until a patroller or sysop can get online.
 * I'll try my best to fight him. Thanks for your help, you're always helpful. -- 08:40, 9 January 2012 (EST)

I hope I'm not too hasty in doing this, but...
Welcome to the team!
 * Thank you very much. And no, I wouldn't call that too hasty.

Patroller
* clap clap* It looks like you're patroller now! Good job on that achievement, you really deserve it! -ThirdMarioBro: Mario,   Luigi,  and me! 19:15, 9 January 2012 (EST)
 * Thank you very much.

Congrates
Congrates there. I actually knew something like this would happen. Good job.
 * Thank you very much.

Congratulations Bop1996
You truly deserve this promotion.


 * Thank you. I'm very honored you think so.
 * Proper headers are overrated!


 * Anyways, I'll take over for Tucky here. Congratulations on your promotion! If you need any help learning how to use the new tools, just ask and I'll help as best I can (alternatively, check this topic). SMB already changed your forum ranking, so next time you log on the forums you should be able to see the exclusive staff board; be sure to thank people for your promotion and contribute to staff discussions once you've gotten caught up!


 * Finally, when you next go on chat, harass me and I'll let you into the admin chatroom where we talk about anything, as long as it does not have to do with the administration of the wiki. Good job once again, this promotion has been long-coming! I see great things for you!


 * Congrats Bop! Good luck, I'm sure you'll do awesomely! :D


 * 01:54, 10 January 2012 (EST)
 * Thanks you two. I'll do my best to be more helpful with this promotion.

Congratulations
I'm glad you've been promoted to the rank of Patroller, Bop. You're one of the best users around here, in terms of editing, competence, and respect. I believe it will not even be three months until you are finally promoted to Sysop rank. -- 02:38, 10 January 2012 (EST)
