Aboutfile reminder

Hello, BubbleRevolution. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded coding is shown below. {{aboutfile |1=Subject of the image |2=Where you found the image |3=Artist |4=Describe edits, if any |5=Other versions (use file link) }} Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line of the variable(s) you don't use. If you do not wish to use the template at all, then it is acceptable to simply remove it before you upload the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue using {{aboutfile}} incorrectly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

I've edited five of your files due to the wrong use of the template. Remember to follow this for your future uploads, thanks. Ne1999 (talk)

Salvo the Slime

Yoshi's Island's bosses being "individuals" seems to be a Western invention, as the Japanese names are basically "Big (enemy name)." Furthermore, Mario Party 4 apparently had four versions of him appear at once, so it seems these were initially intended as just being enlarged versions of generic creatures with no personality (not to mention Big Tap-Tap getting "special" and "super big" variations, along with Big Raven appearing as a one-time generic enemy in Yoshi's Woolly World). Granted, over there, there is also no distinction between generic Magikoopas and Kamek... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:07, 18 February 2018 (EST)

I do agree with you on that, though there is something to be noted about some bosses being distinct individuals, as Raphael the Raven appeared in Paper Mario as his own character. I just felt that the overall translation came off a bit awkward since "Big Slime" is such a general name and may not necessarily refer to Salvo (though it most likely does), and felt a bit off using a name that appears to refer to an individual when the subject in question is a generic enemy. The relation between the two was right to be included, though. BubbleRevolution (talk) 01:19, 18 February 2018 (EST)

Moles

The proposal has finished; they are to be split. Shall you make the changes? If not, I'll be more than happy to do so myself. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:14, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

Huh, honestly wasn't looking like it was going to pass for a while there. I can make the changes, but I'm a bit busy tonight so I probably won't get around to it until tomorrow, so if you'd like to, feel free! (EDIT: Never mind, got it done.) BubbleRevolution (talk) 23:17, 20 March 2018 (EDT)

Yoshi's Island (SMW) and Yoshi's Island (YI) split

Hey, I saw your participation on the topic of splitting these two articles on the Yoshi's Island talk page and feel that you made really strong arguments. It's been a few years and nothing has been done on this subject, so I feel either you or one of the other long-standing members of the wiki should start an official proposal in order to get this done. Looking forward to your response. Yo'ster (talk) 21:58, January 22, 2023 (EST)

Yeah, I've been wondering if anyone was going to do a proposal on that for a while now, I had kind of been putting it off out of laziness and hoping someone else would cover it, haha. I might do it at some point when I have more free time, though. BubbleRevolution (talk) 18:25, January 25, 2023 (EST)

Looks like Doc von Schmeltwick got around to it. --Yo'ster (talk) 08:12, April 21, 2023 (EDT)

Removing sourced statements

Hi, I kindly ask that you stop removing sourced material. I've already addressed how your interpretation of it hypothetically being a different pipe or it being about the movie, is not reflected by the source. I'm willing to modify the sentence if you have suggestions based on the source, but outright removing it is getting disruptive. SuperMarioSuperShow (talk) 02:11, May 5, 2023 (EDT)

I didn't remove the source, it does not clearly state what you listed it did in the article. It says "a clay pipe like the ones in Mario Bros. lead to the Mushroom Kingdom", but doesn't say anything beyond that. It doesn't specify when Mario went down the pipe, where the pipe was, etc. We can GUESS what happened, but listing it as if it was a concrete fact about the game's plot is inaccurate. Mario could have just arrived there, or he could have been there for a while beforehand. We don't know, hence why I moved it to the trivia section.

You additionally removed a secondary source I posted that adds some details for seemingly no reason. BubbleRevolution (talk)

This has gotten to the point of disruption, taking a sourced sentence out of the story section and burying it in trivia, is removing it. Continuing to come up with new ways to interpret the source as "vague", doesn't change the facts of the source. The "when" is specifically stated as some point after "Super Mario Bros. is the result of that clay pipe leading to the mysterious forest (Mushroom Kingdom)".

I am willing to work with you to modify the sentence. If you want to change the wording to something along the lines of "The story takes place at some point in time following the events of Mario Bros. after he arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom through a clay pipe..." or something else, but it needs to stay in the story section of the article as its part of the story. You can't just removed sourced material from its sections. SuperMarioSuperShow (talk) 15:09, May 5, 2023 (EDT)
