== Copyright problem == | |||
I found a cool site that has almost all the enimies from Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga, but the owner of the site has a copyright on them! Can on of the sysops e-mail him and ask? The site can be viewed here: [http://www.freewebs.com/magmac/sprites.htm]. He has his email available there. It would be nice to add to our ML:SS enemy list! Also, I deleted the Blablanadon pic, as it happened to come from that site, but I found it on Google, not knowing it was copyrighted. :(--[[User:3dejong]] | |||
It's not copyright, he doesn't own the sprites. Just ask for permission. | |||
<br>- [[User: Yoshi Mastar|Yoshi Master]] | |||
You don't need to ask him. I know him, Magma999 right? I can ask him because he let me use them a long time ago. He does make all of his sprites and borrows them from other sites. Why he asks for permission, I don't know. Here is an even better alternative that is free to use and more widely [http://sprites.fireball20xl.com/nintendo/mario/ used.]--[[User Talk:Knife|Spike]][[File:Spike Shield Badge PM.png]] | |||
OK, so I downloaded all the good sprites, :) and I'll upload them when I have the time. I'm working as hard as possible on the Merchandise, so it'll take awhile. I hope I'll have enough time to do some good work on the merchandise this week...--[[User:3dejong]] | |||
== September 2006 Report == | |||
Okay, fellas. I'm going to start posting our fiscal status here. This month we raised '''$61''' through ads, '''$20''' through web hosting (I'm hosting a friend of mine for $20/mo), and '''$5''' through donations (it came from a porplemontage.com member, all the stats are the total amounts from both sites). So that means we fell short '''$74''' towards the monthly cost of the server. I'd really like it if we could at least get that number under $50 each month. Down in the $25 range is our crazy-goal. So that implies more donations if you can help out. Clicking the ads is good if you see something you like and would like to check it out. Clicking for the hell of it is bad, but every now and then is recommended. Basically what you should do is just don't ignore them, always give a glance over there when the page loads. So that's that. The Super Mario Wiki needs you. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 00:15, 1 October 2006 (EDT) | |||
==Poll== | |||
A new poll, created by [[User:Knife|Spike]] ([[User talk:Knife|talk]]), is available for voting at [[MarioWiki:Polls]]. Check it out and we'll see how it works out as the Pipe Plaza is established. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 23:13, 30 September 2006 (EDT) | |||

== Levels? == | |||
I was wondering... Should we add a section for levels in the games? Maybe just the secret levels, perhaps? | |||
:Maybe. I'd like to hear more opinions on this first. --<span style=" -variant: small-caps;">'''[[User:Porplemontage|Steve]]''' (''[[User talk:Porplemontage|talk]]'')</span> 22:23, 27 September 2006 (EDT) | |||
Like, maybe the Secret and Extra levels of Mario Advance 3? | |||
:Levels would be covered under the places article and category, which means we don't need a levels page. A page for Secret Levels could be created, descrbing how they are generally acquired or other details about secret levels in different games. These levels would also be places though, and would need to be categorized accordingly. A Secret Levels category could also be created and articles about individual secret levels could be made as well. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]] | |||
::I'm all up for a level PipeProject to organize this idea, but no namespace should be made for level. As SoS says, these are normal articles that would go under the place category as well as a new (secret) level category. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 15:09, 28 September 2006 (EDT) | |||
So, when can we start? I'm working like crazy on the Marchandise section, so I can't help for awhile. I have, like 250 images on my computer waiting to be uploaded! I'll be changing things around a whole lot in there, but I've completed all the Secret and Extra Yoshi's Island levels, so I'll scout around if we start the category soon. [[User:3dejong|3dejong]] | |||
:To start a PipeProject for all the levels in the [[Marioverse]], we need one more trooper first. I'll post a suggestion on the idea tonight. <span style="font-family:Kunstler Script; color:#006633;"><font size="5">'''[[User:Wayoshi|W]]'''ayoshi</font></span><small> ( [[User talk:Wayoshi|T]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Contributions/Wayoshi|C]]<tt>·</tt>[[Special:Emailuser/Wayoshi|@]] )</small> 16:57, 29 September 2006 (EDT) | |||

I found a HUMONGUS amount of Mario merchandise pics, so expect lots of new merchandise soon! | |||

Also, I've been skipping the Mario plush dolls, only uploading the "interesting" ones. If anyone wants to add them, here's the addresses for the best sites:[http://www.nintendoland.com/home2.htm?funfacts/merchs/index.htm][http://www.smbhq.com/media.htm] | |||
[http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/mania/merchandise.shtml][http://www.videogamemm.com/v/Store/Mario+Related+For+Sale+Items/?g2_page=1]Also, a section on pins might be pretty good... I've already downloaded and saved all the pics on these sites (I have about 200), so expect most of them to be here by Saturday. | |||
