==WL4 item images== | |||
Hey there Walkazo. I suppose you were [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=File:Applebomb_ia.PNG&action=history wondering] why I tagged those ''Wario Land 4'' item images for deletion. I obtained those images through YouTube screenshots last year, and at the time I thought they were perfect for the intended articles. Later on, I have realized that the quality is very poor. For example, [[:File:WL4-Golden Diva.PNG|this image]] takes the original size and resolution of the GBA screen, so it is visually alike to what a player would see on their console screen. Now if we compare a similar image with a [[:File:WL4-BCbattle.PNG|YouTube screenshot]], we can see how the image is affected in quality and image size. In regards to the item images, I wanted to obtain proper sized images, and until I did, I tagged the YouTube screenshots for deletion and removed them from the articles. I thank you for re-adding them, because in retrospect, I realize that those images can stay until they are able to be re-upload. This is just a friendly heads-up for what was going on, so thanks again for your involvement :) | |||

:I just thought that moving them would be a good idea since it looks strange to have the archives as subpages of the old usernames' talk pages, and I did not know that admins are in charge of moving the archives. {{User|Master R.O.B}} 21:22, 17 July 2012 (EDT) | |||

==Proving Identity== | |||
I worked at NOA from 1988 to 1993 and, among other things, named all of the characters in SMW and SMB3. Can you think of a way for me to verify my identity so my edits get accepted? Can't get a better source than someone who was there! | |||
Thanks! {{User|Dayvvbrooks}} and yes...I had one less 'v' in my name back then. | |||
I don't have anything online that proves it other than things that could be easily faked. Do you have a way I can send you a private link or email? I can send you something that would probably do the trick. {{User|Dayvvbrooks}} | |||
Still attempting to confirm my email under my preferences. Sent three times, but still no confirmation email. Triple checked the listed email address and it's not in the spam folder, either. Is there an issue with verification? Thanks! {{User|Dayvvbrooks}} | |||

How can I become an admin? | |||

:You can put that on your Userpage once you've edited enough to be [[MarioWiki:Autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]], but your focus should be on editing the encyclopedia, not talking about yourself. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 19:49, 20 July 2012 (EDT) | |||

== MarioWiki:Conjecture == | |||
Hello Walkazo, [[MarioWiki:Conjecture]] has been created. I'm just wondering, for consistency with other policy/writing guidelies, could the page be protected? Oh, and thanks for all your help and advice with the proposal. | |||
{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 02:34, 8 August 2012 (EDT) | |||
:Actually his proposal hasn't passed yet so I put the deletion template on the page because the proposal calls for it's creation and it shouldn't be created before the proposal passes. {{User|Raven Effect}} | |||
::It was margin of only a few hours. I'm sorry for any inconvenience I caused you, Raven. | |||
::{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 04:30, 8 August 2012 (EDT) | |||
:::Once the deadline passes the page can be restored and protected. I'll try to remember to come back and do it, but if I don't, just drop me another message and I'll get on it. Policy stuff is my specialty, so I was very happy to help with your draft - and I thank ''you'' for accepting my suggestions =) - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] 16:56, 8 August 2012 (EDT) | |||
== MarioWiki Policy == | |||
Hello Walkazo. I need to ask your opinion about the idea of a policy page on Notice Templates. I see that you have made proposals for both the [[MarioWiki:Navigation templates|Navigation Templates]] and [[MarioWiki:Categories|Category]] policies, but did you perhaps already have the Notice Template idea on your mind? I reason I ask is because I have almost finished a draft for MarioWiki:Notice Templates outside of the wiki, which revamps the sub-categorizing of [[:Category:Notice templates]] and explains the usage of each group of templates in detail. If you wish, I could PM you the draft once it is complete. But if you already had the idea, then I will leave it to you. Please tell me what you think. | |||
:Okay. It will be ready within a week, if not two. Thank you for your reply. | |||
