Cherbil appearance thing
In a way Cherbils actually do look like bums (I hope I didn't sound rude there) if you look at them, they may'nt've been based off them but they do share a striking resemblance to bottoms. So maybe we shouldn't mention apparently and based off but maybe a resemblance will do I just hop it's not too inappropriate lol. 15:43, 7 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: Userspace
Thanks for the notice! I have been looking for mainspace things to edit but can't really find any that I have the knowledge to edit properly, and most of the ones that 'need rewriting due to grammatical mistakes' were fixed quite a while ago. I'll try and edit my userspace a bit less, but I'll just add one more thing today.

Edit Reversion
Not to sound unbelieving, but what is the official source that confirms Wario speaking German in Mario Party? -- 15:06, 10 October 2016 (EDT)

Oh, I wasn't aware of that. My information was from The Cutting Room Floor, but they've changed it to reflect the video after I last checked. My mistake. -- 15:26, 10 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: Canguro Image
Hm, I can see the file just fine. It sounds like you're having a similar issue as another user (see here). Moving the file seemed to fix it.

RE: Hey
I didn't bother to check the timestamp this time. That's why it appeared to be very quick. I usually wait to see what happens. Also, I was using it as a quick way to relay instructions because it was his first upload and he is a relatively new editor (not many contributions). -- 15:42, 11 October 2016 (EDT)

Re: name
Heartwarming :P

17:16, 12 October 2016 (EDT)

Wrong Goomba and a question.
I noticed you changed the Super Mario Maker for 3DS article to remove the part about Goombrats. What I don't think you knew is that the ones in Super Mario World style are called Galoombas, not Goombrats. It doesn't matter because it's gone anyway, though. Also, is it against the rules to take a userbox that someone else made without asking permission? -- 16:42, 15 October 2016 (EDT) Yeah, no Goombrats, because they weren't in SMM for Wii U. Thanks for answering my question! -- 17:05, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

Unofficial transparent images
Can you please give an example?

That is unnecessary.

You can consider uploading a different image (excluding the boomerang) and just crop it instead.

Black Bowser's Castle
Hi. Not sure where to post this. Though for PAPER MARIO COLOR SPLASH, they listed BLACK BOWSER CASTLE card under THINGS. It is not a THING card. It's an ENEMY card, that gets filed under ENEMY in the museum at end of game. Please modify this if you can. Thanks

Edit Sniping
Just let a sysop decide the best course of action. It could be true that he didn't edit snipe but rather he just logged in within two minutes and thought you forgot to categorize. This happened to me recently. Also, Admin noticeboard isn't a place to discuss as stated by the notice on the page. -- 15:08, 18 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Of course. While he did edit snipped, I knew he was just trying to help. I didn't mind it much, so, though I know AfternoonLight has done it fairly frequently in the past, I don't think he deserves a block for snipping me. 15:13, 18 October 2016 (EDT)

Signature
Alex95 (T-C-E) 

It's very difficult to orient properly, but I gave you parameters to play with. 19:15, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Oh, no problem. But when you want to orient two rows, you need to use  . This page is also where I got some information regarding advanced text formatting, where I got the text size and margin parameter from. If you need any more questions, don't hesitate to ask me further, and I hope you get your signature to what you want.  19:21, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * I don't really know how to add added space in between text in one line. Every time I do that, it counts only as one space. I use filler font like - or _ to bypass it but I'm not sure if there's a tag version of adding extra space. 19:38, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

^ Best I can do. But best check if everything is the correct height with.

19:52, 22 October 2016 (EDT)


 * Looks like it fits, but just barely haha. Thanks guys! 21:09, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

EDIT: Oh, well, the sig does... that. This is just causing problems...


 * Try adding   directly after the last line of code in your signature. – YoshiKong 21:14, 22 October 2016 (EDT)
 * Eh, I'll just keep it simple, it's causing too many headaches for me. Thanks for trying to help, though :) 21:18, 22 October 2016 (EDT)


 * No worries! – YoshiKong 21:20, 22 October 2016 (EDT)

MKWii Cards
Hey there Alex, I was finally going to getting around to inserting some of the trading card bios. Which ones have you already done? --Meta Knight (talk) 18:14, 31 October 2016 (EDT)

Hi
You told me that you use paint.net for doing transparency and layering. There are a few images I would like to give transparency, but I went to the site and had no idea where to start. Can you help? 11:32, 3 November 2016 (EDT)

The Pauline artwork.
I'm not very handy with this since I just joined the wiki. Would you mind editing another artwork? I would assume a picture of Pauline's Smash brothers trophy. I really don't know how my artwork got here in the first place to be honest. I just put it online to show a friend, so how it got here? I donot know. I hope I'm not pressuring you, but I would appreciate it if you would add another artwork. Thank you.

Thank you! I apreciate it^^!

SML2 "Tutorial Level"
Source? Because I had it listed as "Start" for a reason. - Reboot (talk) 20:35, 4 November 2016 (EDT) 

No problem. I've been meaning to make changes to the SML2 page (WIP), but I want to fit in a playthrough first to fill out the enemy descriptions, and I haven't got round to that yet.

Incidentally, the only - and I've looked - name for the overworld level opposite the Tree Zone I've found is from the Japanese guidebook that YoshiKong/Shokora pointed me to on Gallery talk:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins: 展望台コース, Tenbō-dai kōsu (which appears to mean - according to Google Translate - "Lookout Course"). - Reboot (talk) 01:45, 5 November 2016 (EDT)

 * One of the reasons I love Mario spin-offs so much is that I can make Wario sad. 20:16, 7 November 2016 (EST)
 * Waluigi is also another punching bag of ours. We like pairing him with Donkey Kong and Wario in Mario Party games. 21:33, 7 November 2016 (EST)

Super Princess Peach
Hi, it's very nice to have help, but I've made it clear that I wish to make the SPP levels, so doing any further would constitute as edit sniping, so I ask you politely to refrain from doing anymore.
 * I should be able to, gonna be a small bit before I get back to the LP seeing as I've got uni stuff and other things beforehand that slow me down, but as soon as I'm back with it, I shall :)

The Adventures of Captain Toad
Hi. I'm working on completing Super Mario 3D World 100%. I think I've beat Worlds 1 and 2, but I have a question. Do you need to get Gold Stars on The Adventures of Captain Toad levels? If so, how is it done? I started the level as every character and nothing happened. You've beat the game 100%, so can you help? 13:55, 20 November 2016 (EST)
 * Look at this screenshot. In the top-left is a Captain Toad course. It has a Gold Star. So our suspicions that they can't get Gold Stars is wrong. What do you make of this?

Image Removal
I noticed a bunch of images show up in Special:UnusedFiles relating to Kirby. I checked that article and your edits match up with the images I found. Just so you know, removing the link to the image doesn't mean the image is deleted. Just be sure you tag unused images with and also specify a reason it should be deleted (  is what I usually do in this situation, like File:Mariolandmp2.jpg). If I am wrong, I don't know what your plans are for those images. -- 04:58, 30 November 2016 (EST)


 * No need to worry, I will take care of it.


 * 06:22, 30 November 2016 (EST)
 * I know just removing the image doesn't delete it. I asked Shokora what to do with them, and he said he'd take care of it. 11:07, 30 November 2016 (EST)
 * Thanks for clarifying. It was just massively confusing to me why those images would show up in that special page. As long as will delete those images. -- 16:30, 30 November 2016 (EST)
 * Yep! Sorry for the influx of unused images there. Hopefully he or another admin gets around to deleting them soon. 16:39, 30 November 2016 (EST)

Hi Alex. Sorry, I haven't forgotten about those deletions. I haven't had a lot of time to myself in these last few days: it will be done tonight.

17:08, 2 December 2016 (EST)
 * Hey, you get to them whenever you get to them. No rush. 17:10, 2 December 2016 (EST)

your sandbox
hey alex! I just noticed that your sandbox page is showing up in the nsmb2 characters category, and I just wanted to bring it to your attention so you could fix it. 00:12, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Wario voice
This statement of Wario's voice actor Thomas Spindler comes from a Youtube video without stating where the information was taken from, it could be made up. I have not done any more edits, nor do I plan as I don't have time to do war edits. But your statement of Wario's voice is not trustworthy without a reliable source of information that actually comes from Thomas Spindler and not Youtube.

Guess who's out of it today
No, you're absolutely right, that was poor judgement on my part. Since it wasn't the usual blanking-and-replacing-content form of vandalism, I automatically didn't consider it as one that warranted an immediate block. I'll go ahead and do that now. 21:15, 3 December 2016 (EST)

Contribute
Hello, how do I contribute about the site? Any examples?

~SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Oh I see, I'll try to do it. But haven't been active since then! lol. Alright, I'll give it a shot! Thank you for the help! I was still new on this. :)

Recent vandal
Hey Alex. Reverting vandalism as soon as you spot it is fine. But please understand that repeatedly edit warring with a vandal, especially with back-and-forth edit summary exchanges, is strongly discouraged and ideally should not happen at all. You did the right thing to promptly report the vandal, but please keep this message in mind for future situations.

Thanks.

13:05, 5 December 2016 (EST)
 * Yeah, I know. I tried to keep a majority of their edits to my talk page, that way their edits wouldn't affect the mainspace as much. 13:07, 5 December 2016 (EST)


 * Understood, thank you.

Cheaty images
I still have to ask my twin to probably reupload it w/o hearts so users will stop questioning the validity of it. I may reupload the Baby Mario Baby Luigi one when I find the time. 15:09, 10 December 2016 (EST)

PLEASE READ!
Hey Alex. Thanks for helping for my mistakes and stuff. I'm sure tired of making all these mistakes and I'm sure you don't like correcting them. So I'm just gonna ask you questions here.

1.I'm having trouble putting in my signature! Can you tell me the code to put a signature? I tried using other people's code ad examples for me but it didn't work. And how do you add your own? 2. When I'm adding images, is it OK to add images off the internet as long as I give credit? Is it OK to put in public domain images? I've seen other more advanced users putting in images that belong to Nintendo on their profile. Whats up with that? 3. How do people upgrade their rank?

Sorry if these question's answers can be found on other articles. Like I said, I'm trying to learn :(

Titanica25 10:31 December 11, 2016 (EST)

File Edits
I see you removed from File:Tom eberspecher mgat.jpg without specifying the game category it belongs to. Turns out it belongs to Mario Golf: Advance Tour. The context of the image and article that links to it was leading me to believe that. Just be careful next time. Don't remove unless you are sure no other category applies. -- 23:29, 22 December 2016 (EST)

Super Princess Peach enemies
I've ran into a slight dilemma, in the playthrough I'm watching, I see several enemies, but they aren't detailed in the game's glossary on the wiki page, and the player doesn't particularly dwell on them. I'm not sure if there's something in a game guide, or a Perry Block that says about these things. The ones I've encountered so far are some fire enemies that I've used in screenshots for Fury Volcano, some flaming tiki heads from the same world, a sand-creature in Wavy Beach and some icicle creatures in Gleam Glacier. The latter three act more like obstacles than genuine enemies, if that helps.

MLBIS
Did you make sure what you italicized in this edit are indeed in-game descriptions? I'm playing the US version of the game and the in-game description of the Green Cure is "A 1,000-year-old curative held by Chakron above Plack Beach" instead of "One of the curatives that was held by Chakron" which you italicized. -- 21:03, 3 January 2017 (EST)

 * no worries; i thought there were other sources for those descriptions. -- 23:37, 3 January 2017 (EST)

Nintendo UNO
I noticed what you said about the Nintendo UNO, at this point it makes sense to have the scans of that deck as well, so I would be glad if you uploaded them as well; in case you can see how the page of UNO Super Mario turns out and, if it looks good, you can reuse the table there.--Mister Wu (talk) 06:31, 5 January 2017 (EST)
 * If you don't mind, would you scan and upload the scans online an allow me to crop and upload them here? I did it with the UNO Super Mario cards and the Mario Trump cards, so I just want to finish it out with the Nintendo UNO cards.-- 11:20, 7 January 2017 (EST)
 * I do actually mind, which is why I'm making this request. I've done seven decks of cards and I want to do the eighth. I need to know that everything meets a standard and at this point I won't be satisfied unless I'm the one making the final cuts and fixes. So please, I've got the time and the motivation. Please let me do this.-- 13:37, 7 January 2017 (EST)
 * Thank you. User:Mister Wu Should be able to give you the settings he used when scanning.-- 14:19, 7 January 2017 (EST)
 * Sounds Perfect!-- 14:25, 7 January 2017 (EST)
 * When you do upload the scans online, put them on google drive or mediafire.-- 13:36, 9 January 2017 (EST)
 * Dropbox them.-- 14:27, 9 January 2017 (EST)
 * I need you to rescan them. Fit 9 cards to a page, edge to edge in a 3x3 shape. Scan the mat 1200dpi and save them as .png -- 13:38, 11 January 2017 (EST)
 * If not png, save it as a pdf.-- 13:44, 11 January 2017 (EST)
 * Are you able to do that?-- 11:27, 12 January 2017 (EST)
 * Yeah, they may not be as high of quality as I'd like but these will do, I think.-- 09:32, 13 January 2017 (EST)

Edit-sniping.
Don't edit snipe when editing a page again. I was just about to fix this edit, but you beat me to it. Although it was an accident, I'm just warning you not to do it again. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 18:09, 11 January 2017 (EST)
 * No edit-sniping has occurred. There is no way that Alex95 could've known that you intended to fix a mistake by an anonymous user. Edit-sniping is when someone is doing a project, like extensive category work for example, and someone comes along midway through it and starts doing the same thing without consulting the original user. Anyone can fix poor edits.

Oxford Comma
While the Oxford Comma (as in, the final comma in a list of three or more items) can be used to clear up ambiguity in certain circumstances, it is mostly optional and even more confusing in some cases. There are few guides that strictly insist on separating every item in a list with a comma (including Ofxord). On a website such as this that is fairly loose with grammar technicalities, it isn't necessary. 16:14, 19 January 2017 (EST)
 * I don't know if I can convince you otherwise (and frankly, plenty of more learned individuals have argued this point), but generally, it's not necessary. As I've been taught, most people will recognize that "eggs" and "bread" are two separate items, rather than one conglomerate item, as most people are familiar with the wheat product and the chicken byproduct. Honestly, I tend to use the Oxford Comma regularly myself, but I am well aware that both sides have a leg to stand on and both sides can cite their own style guides. Therefore, it shouldn't be necessary to force everyone to obey this rule, especially on a website that mostly cares about the basics of English grammar and not much else. 16:32, 19 January 2017 (EST)
 * What you consider proper punctuation can be considered unnecessary or potentially misleading punctuation (and there are examples where it doesn't perfectly clear up any ambiguity). It's nothing more complicated than that. 16:50, 19 January 2017 (EST)
 * Why is this a thing. It's just one freaking comma I "missed". I'm not sure who invented this "grammar", but it's really unnecessary to edit that one tiny thing. Frosted Downhill Kirby (talk) 16:56, 19 January 2017 (EST)

Proposal
Hi. Proposals taking place on the actual proposals page should run only for one week (with the exception of writing guidelines). Also, the talk page proposal template doesn't belong there, unless it's taking place on a discussion page of an individual article.

 * Oh, whoops, okay. I'll correct that, thanks for the heads up! 17:30, 20 January 2017 (EST)

Mission articles
It's great that you're doing the Mario 64 levels, but simply copy and pasting the information is not what is needed. They still need to have the structure of a level article, i.e. introduction, layout, etc.; and it'd also be wise to read through it so you can remove any poor writing, like what was on Snowman's Lost His Head.
 * Hm, thought I corrected some of the poor writing. Guess I missed some. Oh well, thanks for noticing that and for the advice. I'll do better for the next mission pages I create. 15:22, 24 January 2017 (EST)

Re: Passed Proposal
Hey! The proposal would now need to be archived by moving it to Proposals/Archive 46, and adding a new box at Proposals/Archive. Wanna try for yourself? If not, I'm happy to do it and you can learn for next time.

Tomorrow, I'll start to co-ordinate some discussion on updating Galleries too.

Just to let you know, Inside the Cage is nearly identical to Collect the Caps..., except you need to be Luigi or have Luigi's Cap on in order for the Power Flower to make you Vanish Mario to collect the star. Probably OK to merge the two articles. -- 20:39, 3 February 2017 (EST)
