User talk:Gabumon/Archive

Welcome on Edo's talk page. I'm glad that you somehow ended up here :3 It would be nice if you leave me a message. I'll be happy to read your stuff.

Just a little rules so we can have a nice talk:
 * 1) Swear your allegiance to King Bowser
 * 2) No funny hats
 * 3) No nosepicking
 * 4) Be polite towards me and towards each other
 * 5) Try to type properly (I won't go grammar-nerd on you but please make it understandable)
 * 6) I understand German, but it is likely that I will answer in English nevertheless
 * 7) No flaming, unless you have a Fire Flower!

Welcome-Thingy
I will keep that, because I'm kinda nostalgic :3

Caps
HI! Nice to meet you! Capitalizing titles is a format rule in this wiki, I saw that the game doesn´t capitalize it, but here, we must capitalize al titles :/ --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  10:46, 23 August 2009 (EDT)

Congrats!
Youre doing a great job on the Wario Land 2 levels! Keep up the good job! --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  18:17, 25 August 2009 (EDT)

Re: Bowser, Mario, Timelines and stuff
Thanks for your support! And don't worry: unless you tried posting personal opinions on mainspace, it's not considered spam. Also, thanks for all the work you've been doing on the Wario Land 2 levels - we need all the help we can get when it comes to Wario (and Donkey Kong) information. Just a couple pointers: always use gender-neutral pronouns when referring to the "player" (instead of "he", use "they"), and instead of using "  " to separate paragraphs in an article section, use two normal line-skips (it makes it easier to differentiate between the paragraphs). For the infobox, you don't need the space between the "=" and the before/after level links (you already don't use the space for the other headers, though, which is great); also, you don't need a " " at the bottom if there's no navigation templates. These are all obscure little things, though, so don't sweat not knowing them: you're doing a great job! - 18:18, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * I went through a bunch of your level articles, and there were only one or two spelling mistakes per page - I've seen native English speakers do much worse! I'm terrible at spelling in my only second-language (French) - if I didn't have a dictionary handy, I wouldn't ever try writing in it on the Internet. I noticed you added yourself to Babel; that's great, however you forgot to add the levels at which you can speak your languages (you should have "", and "" (we're getting rid of level 5 soon)). Once you're around for a little while longer, you'll get more familiar with our coding (I hope you stick around - so many great users leave after only a couple weeks...). is hard to explain; it basically pushes everything below it down in order to prevent things from overlapping or getting over-crowded. For example, compare Chocolate Island (no means the image goes side-by-side with the infobox above it) and Chocolate Secret ( means the templates go below the infobox). If you still don't get it, that's okay: I still run into codes that I have no clue about! - 20:41, 26 August 2009 (EDT)
 * No worries: I only had to make a few changes to each page, which is the sort of maintenance work I enjoy the most. Choose whatever level you feel is best for you - if you think you'd be better placed in Level 3 English, then by all means, make yourself a Level 3. - 22:18, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Wow, another one!!!
Well, first of all hi! Good to meet you. You seem to be pretty cool. Of course me saying that doesn't mean much.... Well, I'm happy to see another German. User:Time Q and User:Cobold are German too. I'm not German, but my family has a big German past, so I know some German and all that. See you around.

Wario Land
Hello, great job on the Wario Land II articles! :-) It's nice to see that someones takes care of them, keep up the good work! There aren't many users who work on Wario series articles, sadly. By the way, do you have a clue where all the enemy names for Wario Land II (and other classic games of the series) come from? The Wario Land manuals only name very few, I think most of those used on the wiki aren't official and should be marked as "pure conjecture". --Grandy02 14:55, 31 August 2009 (EDT)

Wow, I didn't await that Nintendo's consumer service would ever answer such a special question! Thanks for your effort! Hm, those are really generic names, but they go in line with the other simple names mentioned in the manual and the game (Cook, Giant Snake, Giant Bee, Punch and so on). It seems that the names refer to the following enemies: Aside from "White puff" and maybe "Flame" (but who else should it be aside from "Cigarrat"), it is clear which name refers to which enemy. But I don't know if this mail is enough to convince other users to accept these names as official? I noticed in the Japanese Wikipedia that they have Japanese names for almost all Wario Land series enemies, but since it's a wiki, I don't know if they are official, either. There have to be names, though, since there are guide books for all WL games in Japan (except for the Virtual Boy one), but I don't know any user here who could confirm them. Anyway, in my opinion the names from the mail can be used, they are surely more official than the ones from the fan-written FAQs. There are still many wrong links to Mario games enemies in both the WL2 article and in its template. --Grandy02 12:25, 4 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Ape - Malletape (article is only about the Wario Land 4 version which is clearly not the same, it doesn't even look like an ape)
 * Bee - I don't think they should be merged with Beezley (they are very similar, but the same goes for many other enemies throughout the Wario Land series, such as Pirate Goom/Mask-Guy/Spearhead/Spear-Mask, yet they are differently named, same can be said about Donkey Kong Country series enemies)
 * Cook
 * Duck - Dangerous Duck
 * Flame - Cigarrat? (anyway, "Cigarrat" can't be official at all, they wouldn't make a reference to cigarrates and censor alcohol at the same time, and they look like foxes rather than rats to me, plus I doubt they smoke cigarrates, lol)
 * Ghost - Ghastly
 * Grunt - no article yet (there are wrong links to Grunt)
 * Penguin - no article yet (there are wrong links to the generic Penguin)
 * Punch
 * Rooster - Chick
 * Spear guy - Spear Man/Pirate Goom (there's even a third name for them?)
 * White puff - Er, not sure, maybe Inflatoblob (I wonder if this name is official?)?
 * Wizard - Wizard Goom
 * Zombie

I understand why the fan named them "Cigarrats", I just don't think that they actually smoke cigars as the article implies. If something is a stub or not depends on the topic. If there isn't more to write about the WL enemies, it is how it is, so even a short article isn't always a stub. For more missing enemy names, this site might be useful. It contains a list of Wario Land II puzzles in the Japan-only Picross NP. It matches with the names that are listed in the Japanese Wikipedia and this dictionary: --Grandy02 14:40, 8 September 2009 (EDT)
 * Chūta (チュウタ) - the red rat
 * Inamazu (イナマズ) - Bugzapper, the name comes from inazuma (electricity) and namazu (Amur catfish), when looking closely, they really look like walking fish, look at the "tail fin"
 * D-Bat (Dバット) - Grab Bat and Smash Bat, those could be merged
 * Tsuriuo (ツリウオ) - Fishing Fish
 * Hikitsune (ヒキツネ) - Flame/Cigarrat, the name confirms that it is a fox (hi + kitsune lit. "Fire Fox")
 * Big Kamukamu (ビッグカムカム) - Stonefish
 * Stove - I don't know where this is name from, doesn't appear in the list. I'm also not sure which enemy is actually seen in the screenshot next to A, can you recognize it?

* sigh* Yes, it is. XD Anyway, would you mind if I make the corresponding changes (moves and "conjecture" templates) this week? --Grandy02 16:12, 8 September 2009 (EDT)

Thanks
For solving the problem, since the official game page is dead I though there is no other way to find that info, but that you've got may explain everything. I hope this evidence lets the user speechless right now. Thanks again :]

Yeah, sure. Though, in Super Mario Sunshine there are Piranha Plants that look quite similar to Petey's Super Mario Pinball form. You can even see many of them in the mini game Tic Tac Glow. It's curious that only ONE person doesn't think it's Petey in that game, lulz.

Proposal
Oh, OK :) Then he should put it back :) BTW, i lolled at your 2nd userbox :P --http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/4087/tucayosz9se5.png(talk) The 'Shroom  17:45, 1 September 2009 (EDT)
