User talk:Walkazo/Archive 7

Status: Life is rather hectic right now, but I won't let that get in the way of my important Sysop work here, and if you have any questions about the Super Mario Wiki, feel free to ask away - I'll get back to you as soon as possible!

Dragon info stripping
Should the paper mario content also be removed from the dragon page? -FourPaperHeroes 05:38, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes. The info can go on the character articles for the PM dragons. - Walkazo 05:40, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Should the article look like this?: -FourPaperHeroes 05:51, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, even less - anything connecting the otherwise unrelated dragons appearing throughout the series must go. I stripped it some more, and this is what I was left with below. I decided to split out the Donkey Kong Jungle Beat dragon as well (just assume it has its own page now), since its inclusion made things really awkward. - Walkazo 21:49, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Dragon page
Dragons are a race of mythological reptiles from real world mythology, which have appeared as living creatures throughout the Mario series as both allies and enemies.

An actual dragon appeared in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, in the episode "7 Continents for 7 Koopas". After Bully Koopa painted graffiti all over the Great Wall of China, Mario appears, snatches Bully's wand, and turns the Great Wall into a dragon, which chases after Bully.

Policy
Since you went out of your way to go by policy and remove those, in your opinion, pesky sections from Daisy's page per policy, do you mind showing me where it is said in what policy that this is so? UhHuhAlrightDaisy 00:50, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Well not that I absolutely don't believe you, but unless you can give me proof some time in the near future, I'll just have to add them back until you can get it because it's your word to nothing. UhHuhAlrightDaisy 06:27, 22 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Walkazo - I have overheard such things regarding a missing proposal you say. Try going to my test page to find the proposal: User:RAP/test4. You must be aware that it's still quite incomplete. T_T And that I divided into sections by year so I can work on it more fluidly. -- 08:22, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oooh, so that is where the handy-dandy list/archive is. yes, that'll make searching much easier (assuming it was a proposal, and not a conversation held elsewhere), thanks. - Walkazo 04:11, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

Protect
Can you protect MarioWiki:Featured Articles/A/Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest? It is a passed FA nomination that people keep voting on.
 * Done. Hopefully I did it right: I don't usually get involved with FAs, so I'm not familiar with the standard procedude ^_^; - Walkazo 14:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Oh, but now that I can't edit it, do you mind getting rid of that protection template on it? Thanks again!
 * Thanks for telling me: it's gone now. - Walkazo 14:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Sig Troubles
Sorry for any annoyance caused by my sig page making things go haywire. I'm really sorry. I appreciate your efforts to correct pages affected by it. I'm going to sort it out with help from Edofenrir anyway. 19:09, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem: it was a quick fix and I had some time on my hands anyway :) - Walkazo 20:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

TPP Votes...
Hey Walkazo! I've been browsing through several TPPs lately and I noticed that you vote support on this one, this one and this one. I'm going to refer to all of them right now as they are all the same thing, two games which are completely different but are being classified as the same. For all of them except Memory Master both games appear in SM64DS. However, the games are not the same - as defined by that video game itself. There is a minigames page in SM64DS where each minigame has its own...button. The buttons are labeled and there is one button labeled (i.e.) Puzzle Panel and another labeled Puzzle Panic. The same applies to all of the other ones (except Memory Master). If the game itself classifies them as different, I believe that we, the encyclopedia that covers the game, should follow the suit of that which we cover, no? And for Memory Master it's mostly the same thing except that one of the games appears in the Mario Party series and the other appears in the main mario series. I hope you reconsider your votes and move them from support to oppose. Yours truly,
 * I don't oppose the merges, but I've decided to abstain from voting instead of supporting. - Walkazo 16:27, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Image issues
Hey Walkazo, what's your opinion on images having transparency? FD09 said it's unnecessary to add them but I think it looks good for all accounts when it comes to colored backgrounds, or making images look neat. (Check my talk page) Also, this idea came from ZeldaWiki, which I was inspired to do this. -- 20:16, 28 August 2010 (UTC) He reverted my image works for Itadaki Street DS, and Mario and Sonic just to let you know.
 * Sorry for not responding immediately (I've been really busy, and this required a bit more effort than I could spare over the weekend). In the past, transparent images have ended up looking crappy on my computer, with black outlines and whatnot, though the examples and the images you re-uploaded this time seemed fine. However, the coloured background argument is a little flawed in that the images could look bad without the white background (i.e. a picture of Daisy would blend in with yellow backgrounds). I also find that simplest is best in a lot of situations: cleaning up the backgrounds to get rid of noise and errant pixels is great, but making them transparent is unnecessary. - Walkazo 21:13, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
