User talk:Time Q/Archive 4

Well, that's my talk page (surprise, surprise), and if you wanna talk, please do so! Just a few rules.
 * Please always add a header if you start a new topic.
 * If you feel the need of doing so, you may send me pointless messages such as "Hi!", but don't expect me to answer.
 * Freedom of speech, so say what you want. (I don't care about flaming and such, but the community does, so better refrain from doing so :P)
 * If you want to put images on this page, please make sure they're small enough. Or even better, just put a link to it rather than the image itself.
 * Generally I'll answer on this page (in order to make the discussion traceable), but sometimes I'll also answer on your page (in order to make sure you read the message). So please check this page if you don't get a message on your page.
 * Remember to sign with (~), don't remove anything from this page, and the other usual blabla.
 * That's it.

Mario is Missing!
I just wanted to say you're doing an awesome job with the Mario is Missing! articles. I tried to make one a while ago, but didn't do too good. (Probably 'cause I haven't played the game. :P) Anyway, did you wanna fix up Tokyo to be as good as the other articles? It's not very descriptive, and doesn't have the pamphlet information on it. 13:21, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks for the compliment :) (While we're at it, you're doing an awesome job with the Mario (series) page as well.) Yes, I'll take care of the Tokyo article as soon as I have reached the city in the game. 13:24, 3 December 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks! I really appreciate the compliment too. Speaking of which, I need to get back to work on that article. 13:29, 3 December 2008 (EST)

;_;
Oh, my friend............ this is the end,well, nice to meet you!!!! you are cool!!!! ^,^ ^____^  ;_;  bye bye!!!!!! n________n

with love: -,^


 * Oh, that's sad :( It was nice to meet you too! Good bye. 15:26, 4 December 2008 (EST)

Dont worry!! n_n   ByE bYe!!

RE: MiM!
No problem. I try to edit new articles anyways...but fortunately unlike some new pages your articles actually make sense! =) --

Hai Time Q
Hai, we haven't talked in awhile. :P What's up?
 * Hi, indeed, long time no see! I'm good, despite being a bit busy with my studies. What about you? 10:01, 12 December 2008 (EST) (As for the article, do you mean this one?)
 * Good and bored; I got promoted to Sysop at Userpedia when I was away. :D
 * Promoted when you were away? That's rather uncommon, isn't it :) Anyway, congrats. 14:46, 12 December 2008 (EST)
 * Well, when I was away from here. :P Thanks. Congrats on your promotion, too. :D --Meta Galactic 09:34, 14 December 2008 (EST)

✔
That symbol is so epic! Is there a combination of keys you can press to recreate it w/o copying & pasting? 16:01, 12 December 2008 (EST)
 * LOL, yeah, it's epic indeed. I once discovered it in the Windows character map but for some reason I fail to find it now. I'll tell you in case I find it again. 16:09, 12 December 2008 (EST)

Another Mindless, Pathetic Troll
Please block the User "Wakka1" - I looked at recent changes and was disgusted.

Please
http://forum.mariowiki.com/index.php?topic=3281.0

I need your opinion on this. 23:13, 16 December 2008 (EST)


 * Thanks for telling me 'bout that. However, I've never even visited the chat, so I'm the last one who should set rules for it. 23:50, 16 December 2008 (EST)

Cool, Cool Mountain
Thanks Time Q for adding the language template. um can i ask of what you thought of that Article? Does it seem almost complete? You could compare it to Bob-omb Battlefield if you don't have the game itself.
 * No problem :) I'll read the article soon and tell you what I think of it. 09:36, 21 December 2008 (EST)
 * Hey there. Really good work on the article. Good description of the missions (at least I guess so, since I don't have the game :)... I don't know if you can add any images to the descriptions, but this would improve the article even further. 09:49, 21 December 2008 (EST)

Alrighty then. Thanx a bunch. I'm not good at uploading pictures but I bet I could get someone to do so. I guess I can take off the construction template now MC  Hammer  Bro.  thanks again!

Juice
I'm glad you read my comment on that Proposal. Was my comment the reason you removed the Proposal?


 * Well, it was one of the reasons why I removed it :P Well, whenever I can't find stuff to edit, I hit "Random page"; you might also want to have a look at articles with the rewrite tag... there are plenty of them. 06:47, 22 December 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks for the help.

My Polls
I was wondering if you could come vote at my own polls that I have made on my userpage/talkpage. It seems that the only way for people to vote there is to invite them. you can vote here and see the results here. -

Advice
The user has changed his username by another as it was an article now. You should revert that, as bureaucrats only have the privilege to change the users' usernames.
 * Thanks. However, he didn't actually change his username, he just moved his user page into mainspace (this can be reverted by any user, I think, or at least sysops can do it). I unblocked him, since he hasn't been warned before being blocked. 15:28, 27 December 2008 (EST)

Re: Name Change
When I was just about to move my page yesterday, my dad told me to switch off the computer immidiately. Yes, I wanted my username to be Miss Koopette (yes, with 2 Ts).

BTW, are you a borquast or a sysop?

I don't know how to make a~link to a section, so feel free to browse through my page.

C&#39;est moi, KoopaGalaxian!!! 12:07, 28 December 2008 (EST)

Thanks
hey d00d thx by changin' my username cos this name: Mr. Helper sucks.Il Koopissimo 08:26, 29 December 2008 (EST)
 * No problem, that's what bureaucrats are here for :) 08:27, 29 December 2008 (EST)

It Shocks Me...
Please take a look at my edit of the Wario Land: Shake It article. Look at the diff to see how much I had to fix. It seriously looked like a 5-year-old wrote most of it. How can major articles go unfixed for so long? Oh, and I replied to your comment on the Kazooie talk page.


 * Cool that you fixed the article, but please don't be so hard on the previous editors. They might be 8 years old, but we should still be thankful to them for providing us with the info (poorly written info is better than no info, IMHO). Nobody is forced to write perfectly here. 07:12, 30 December 2008 (EST)

Re 3v3v3
Yes you are correct about me being the same user.

crat
your a crat now? congrats.
 * Thank you! Haven't seen you for a while. It's still 2008 in America, right? Well, where I live it's been 2009 for three hours, so I wish you a happy new year. ;P 20:57, 31 December 2008 (EST)
 * Thanks. I got 4 more hours to go. I'm gonna try have an all nighter tonight. :D
 * Cool. I'm not going to have one, I'm getting tired... ;) anyway, have fun. 21:16, 31 December 2008 (EST)

More Grammar
Just continuing the previous discussion: (but down here so you don't miss it... I have a rule on my talk page that you must always post at the bottom no matter what...)

Yes, I do appreciate the work of the users who started the article and wrote most of it, BUT!... My point is this: It would be fine if they started the article like this, if more experienced and grammatically wise users quickly fixed up the errors. However, this article was left in this humiliating state for ages until I fixed it. So, in that long time, many people would have read it (as it is a game article, therefore one of the most major articles), and probably would have got some very bad impressions about this Wiki being immature and unreliable. So, for the benefit of this Wiki's image and people who understand basic grammar, I think all articles should be checked regularly for grammar, major or minor.


 * I can see your point, but that's just the bad thing about wikis, especially ones with relatively few active users like ours: Since nobody is forced to do any work (which surely is a good thing!), there is no guarantee that the information is always correct (let alone grammatically). I agree with you, though, that at least new articles should be checked regularly, and if they're badly written, at least a "rewrite" tag should be placed on top of the article, so guests see that it's not how good articles are supposed to be. I'm no native speaker (so excuse my grammatical errors, lol), so that'd be probably someone else's job.


 * As for your sig, as you can see it doesn't completely fit in the sigbox:
 * So, to follow the rules, you'd have to make the pics a bit smaller (but no, I wouldn't mind if you just let it be). 06:36, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Yeah, that's the bad thing about Wikis - but that's what makes them Wikis. Nothing is perfect. Are there really not many regular active users here? Depends on the definition of 'active'. Would I be classified as active? 0-o

Oh, and for not being a native speaker, you are one of the best writers here, which is a great achievement. All your writing makes perfect sense in English, trust me! And to think that you write so much better than many native speakers here... that shows how dumb they are.

WHAT!? *faints* Still not small enough? *gasp* This is madness! (THIS IS - oh, you know it...) Well, I'll make the left image a tiny bit smaller, even though you said you didn't mind it right now.

Thanks for replying.


 * I think the number of active users here is alright (yes, I would say you're "active" too, even though there's no particular definition I'm using...), but the wiki could be a lot better if we had more. Oh, thanks for your praise! I really appreciate it. I've mostly had good marks in English lessons, but of course it's a different thing to hear from a native speaker that you're a good writer. ;) But still, calling other users "dumb" seems too harsh for me. Mario is a game series that for the most part attracts young children, so you can't expect them to be perfect writers or have perfect knowledge of English grammar or orthography. They're just trying to help, which is good. 07:00, 3 January 2009 (EST)

Hi
Hi. What's up?
 * Hi. Well, it's 11.30 pm here, and I have to get up early tomorrow... so actually I think I'm going to bed now. ;) See you. 17:33, 6 January 2009 (EST) (BTW, thanks for supporting the Mama Mario nomination, even though I didn't do any work on this article :))

hey
Hi. Let me guess, it's after midnight where you live?
 * Heh, indeed ;) I'm not going to bed right now though, so... yeah. 18:15, 7 January 2009 (EST)

Just one question...
When I told user 3v3v3 to "not remove reminders/warnings" from his talk page, was I correct when I explained that they are "permanent records" in regards to his overall "editing history" here on the Super Mario Wiki, right? Just making sure. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 19:08, 7 January 2009 (EST)
 * Yes, I think so. It's an (unwritten?) law that reminders and warnings should stay on talk pages permanently, so other users know when to give out a reminder (if there are no reminders yet) and when a warning (if there is a reminder already). 01:55, 8 January 2009 (EST)

Hi
Hi Time Q. School got cancelled where I live, so I can be on all day!
 * Cool. I have a day off to :) Why did it get cancelled? 09:09, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * We got 9 inches of snow last night.
 * Whoah. We have quite a lot of snow here too, though it's already been there for several days. 09:15, 9 January 2009 (EST)
 * We had a couple feet of snow before the 9 inches, too.
 * You should look here.
 * Thanks, yeah I've seen that... don't know what could be done about it though. 11:40, 10 January 2009 (EST)

help
I was working really hard on my userpage and when I hit show preview, it told me internet explorer cant display the webpage,so i lost it all! a full half hour of work. Is there any way to get it back? YourBuddyBill 16:09, 12 January 2009 (EST)
 * I fear there is no way, I'm sorry :( I can just recommend to save your userpage regularly when you're editing it, even if this doesn't bring your work back. 16:53, 12 January 2009 (EST)

sry about the wierd message, wrong talk page! *embarassed*

just so u know what that was about, Galactic Metal lost his pword, i just sent him a copy of the code of his old userpage. hes now Meta Galactic. I used view scource, cut and paste, and nowiki.

hello?


 * Yeah? 12:56, 19 January 2009 (EST)

please look at the bottom of your talk page.

Re: PM
It's possible that your computer can't handle forum inboxes. My computer hardly lets me do anything with an Invisionfree forum's inbox/outbox, and I've had to leave a few other forums because of that. Oh, so you've been there since you were a Sysop? Whoa, I didn't know that. Now I don't feel so bad about you 'not being able to see the Sysop Board action'. :P And thanks! It took me a long time to find a skin for my talk page that I actually liked. I remember there was one point that I actually had cursive writing for the text; I got so many complaints that I changed it to Comic Sans that same day. XD 22:55, 15 January 2009 (EST)

Swearing
Not tryin' to be a tattletale, but User:Randoman123456789 has the "s-word" on his page. Just wanna protect the little kids.

-Ralphfan


 * Alright, I asked him to remove it. 16:19, 17 January 2009 (EST)

Thanx, man.

swearing 2
what ralphfan said, but with User:Fer 101 and the a word.


 * The a-word? I don't see it on his page... 13:00, 19 January 2009 (EST)


 * Uh, now I got it. But I don't think it's swearing here. It's just part of an idiom. You might ask other sysops what they think about it though. 13:06, 19 January 2009 (EST)

its in the ssbb image. near the corner it says "permission to kick ---"

Mario3v
Hey Time Q have you ever thought of putting a status bar on your user page or talk just asking k?
 * No, never. :) 15:11, 19 January 2009 (EST)

Why you do not like it?
 * Don't need it, and don't want to update it regularly. 15:26, 19 January 2009 (EST)

Hi Time Q how are you doing?
 * I'm doing good, thanks. You? 14:19, 23 January 2009 (EST)

I am doing fine too thanks.

Hey Time Q so what do you think about the wiki?
 * About the Super Mario Wiki? I like it, that's why I'm spending much time here. :P 16:08, 25 January 2009 (EST)

Thanks good, but do you think the wiki rules should be changed just asking k.

Hi Time Q how have you been lately? -- 02:03, 4 February 2009 (EST)

Ok Time Q thanks for telling me. -- 02:55, 14 February 2009 (EST)

I am sorry Time Q I will try to control it sorry ok. -- 03:26, 14 February 2009 (EST)

Time Q i said sorry I need to edit in main pages I am very sorry and I do listen ok. -- 03:40, 14 February 2009 (EST)

Mt. Teapot FA Nomination
Bloc Partier just intentionally bumped the Mt. Teapot nomination up, thus artificially extending the nomination. I issued him a warning to prevent him from doing something like that again. But we need to figure out what to do about the page, because now the last "edit" is considered today, instead of a few days ago. --
 * In my opinion, issuing him a warning for doing something that was not explicitly forbidden was too strict, so I'm glad you removed it. As for the page, I don't think it's that much of a problem. I thought about adding a comment to the page after reading the nominated article anyways. Adding the rule to the FA page was a good idea though,  13:44, 22 January 2009 (EST)

^,^
Hihi! how are u?

I'm sorry.... ;_;


 * Your sorry? Why? I'm fine, and you? 05:39, 24 January 2009 (EST)

Oh! don't worry.. ^,^; I'm fine n.n    thank you very much!

Thanks anyway!! ^,^


 * Oh, sorry for not reacting to your message :( I thought the contest was going to be next Sunday? 06:50, 29 January 2009 (EST)

No problem ^_^; we have a judge: (Sto0by) ^,^  jijiji.. I'm sorry ^_^;

Thanks anyway!! ^,^ thanks n_n

Re: ("I like this idea!" is not enough, neither is this.)
What?! What on earth did I do wrong?! Am I not allowed to give my opinion or something?! DoctorWho 1995 05:36, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * Of course you are, but at the top of the Proposals page it says: Any user can support or oppose, but must have a strong reason for doing so, not, e.g., "I like this idea!" You basically just said that you liked the idea, without explaining it further, this doesn't suffice. 07:13, 31 January 2009 (EST)
 * Oh, okay. Didn't see that. I seem to have a thing for missing things. >_> DoctorWho 1995 05:51, 1 February 2009 (EST)

Re: Username Change
Meh, go ahead. --TheYoungBooKid 08:42, 2 February 2009 (EST)

On the Ball!
Heya, Mr. Q. I just thought I'd drop by to say you're doing an awesome job keeping up with the renames. Every time I got to the username change page, you've already taken care of the business that needs to be done. Massive kudos for the great work. =) 00:45, 4 February 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks! :) Everytime I'm on, I check the recent changes, so it's not that hard for me to keep track of it. 00:53, 4 February 2009 (EST)

RE: Mario & Sonic
Yeah, but when I saw the press release - I could have sworn it said "Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games". --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 10:15, 12 February 2009 (EST)
 * Hello, Time Q. I have created a rules page which can be found at Rules per the discussion at the proposals. Tell me if it needs work or anything done on it. Thanks. --
 * Also, Time Q, can you help me with judging if the Game Developers Choice Awards is relevant to Mario? Thanks.

Hi! ^o^
how are you?!! ^o^
 * Hi! I'm okay, thanks. You? 14:20, 19 February 2009 (EST)

Mario3v
Mario3v has requested a name change, although this would be his third name change in a manner of months. He wrote on my talk page saying his current name is negatively affecting him outside the wiki. What do you think should be done? --
 * Well... I think it's okay to change his name one more time. We should just tell him that this is definitely his last name change this year. It'd be cool if you could do it, 'cause I need to go to bed now... (it's half past two in the morning here :/) Thanks! 20:35, 21 February 2009 (EST)

Re links
...Ok Time Q I dont do it too get you mad or to the pages for no reason I do it because I did that in my old wikis I will stop ok, but just one thing I dont do it for no reason or for what you think I do it for, sorry if you think that way but I dont. -- 17:42, 25 February 2009 (EST)

hey
Hi Time Q. We haven't talked in a while. How have you been? I've been super confused ever since Son of Sun's proposal passed. I don't know what half the articles are talking about anymore.
 * Hi! Really? It doesn't confuse me at all (probably 'cause I don't live in an English-speaking country after all...). I'm fine, but very busy at the moment, so I'm not online that much. 20:47, 28 February 2009 (EST)
 * Well it confuses me becaus I live in North America and half the Articles have the European names now.
 * * interfering* Er, I only know very few articles (by far not "half the articles") that have European names now - a few games and several karts and one track from MKWii (and probably two microgames). Just because Europe (specifically UK/Ireland) was the first English-speaking region that got the affected games - this proposal was made to respect the English-speaking world in a whole rather than preferring American terms. Anyway, not much changed. --Grandy02 09:07, 2 March 2009 (EST)

Club Nintendo Comics
Hello Time Q, I see that you've finished almost all articles on CN comics from regular issues, great work! The translation of the comics is splendid, too, I wonder how you will translate "Holerö." ;-) Anyway, there's something not so nice: I noticed that the operators of e-lation.net already aborted their site on 1st January (there's a notice). It is still online, but all the comic PDFs don't work anymore - since the site is discontinued, I fear they won't come back. Have you saved the files? I saved several, but not all. Or should someone mail the webmaster whether he still has the files? --Grandy02 09:21, 2 March 2009 (EST)
 * Hey Grandy. Glad to hear you like my work :) Again, without you creating the Club Nintendo article, I wouldn't be making articles about the comics now! ("Holerö" is going to be a tough one indeed, haha.) As for the missing PDF files, yeah, I noticed that too - I thought it was only a temporary problem. Luckily I saved all the files (that is, the Mario-related ones), so if you need some, let me know. (I even used to have most of the original Club Nintendo magazines, but some years ago, I gave them all away because I thought I wouldn't need them anymore :/). 14:18, 2 March 2009 (EST)
 * Glad that you saved them! :-) I hope that they come back on the site, though (otherwise we have to remove the links). Oh, too bad what happened with your magazines. You can find a few articles here, there aren't much, but maybe just for nostalgia. By the way, I see that you are one of the very few users who own(ed) Mario's Picross (and who know it "quite good"). I expanded the named article yesterday, maybe you could take a look whether it is understandable how the puzzles work (if you have time for doing so, of course)? --Grandy02 11:58, 4 March 2009 (EST)
 * Yeah, awesome work on the Mario's Picross article (even if I haven't read it yet, it looks good, and I'll read it soon). I once planned to expand the article too, but I guess that Club Nintendo and Mario is Missing! are enough work ;) 15:59, 4 March 2009 (EST)
 * Thanks, nice to read that it gives a good first impression. :-) --Grandy02 15:33, 6 March 2009 (EST)
