Things you can do

Feel free to delete this message when you're done reading it. We hope that this information is helpful and that you have a great experience contributing to our encyclopedia and community. Remember to enjoy your time here and to also have fun!

Sincerely,

Good job on your edit there, but there really is no need to add that many links in the same paragraph, especially when they all lead to the same location or two. Just an FYI :) Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 23:12, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Yeah. General rule is that even a fairly bulky section only needs one link to any given page. (On a short page, one link to a certain page is enough for an entire article, and not every section needs to link to a page even when it could be done). - Reboot (talk) 23:35, 8 July 2016 (EDT)

Versus

Never refer to the player as "you". It's means it is, not its. Don't start sentences with a full stop. This is an encyclopedia, not a game guide.CrashBash (talk) 04:08, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

When creating an article, please refer to the Manual of Style to see how one should be written. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

RE:Inability to create user page

I believe you are able to create a user page once you have become autoconfirmed. In other words, you must've had an account for four days and you must've edited the wiki at least five times. Please view your Welcome template for more info. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 11:58, 9 July 2016 (EDT)

Waluigi rumour

Please don't re-add the info regarding Waluigi's "appearance" in Mario 64 DS (You also didn't provide a source), as rumours are not covered here. Thanks. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

Quick reminder

Hey there! When you write a game title in an article, you must use italics. Like this: the code ''Super Mario 64'' creates Super Mario 64. Thanks for reading!

Ritvik12

I've noticed you share the same IP address as Ritvik12 (talk), which you recently used to edit the Super Mario 64 DS page as well. Please do not create more than one account to edit on the wiki, as this is known as sockpuppeting and is considered a level three offence. You've had a history of doing this, but it's possible you didn't know so I'll let you off for now (But if this happens again you may receive a last warning). From now on, please use this account only. Thanks for understanding. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC


@Mario jc So I can only edit as Marole3? Marole3 1:29 July 28, 2016

Yes. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC
Just another thing: Whenever you write a game title, please remember to always italicise them and use the full name (so Super Mario 64 instead of SM64). You should also consider seeing if any info you intend to add to the trivia section would fit better elsewhere in the article instead, like the "Regional differences" section for your point about Jolly Roger Bay's painting (More info here).

Reminder

Please stop adding excessive amounts of unnecessary information on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

I'm referring specifically to your multiple consecutive edits on the Super Mario 64 DS page:

Please don't say things like which level is the "easiest", "hardest" or "tricky". That kind of info is subjective, even if that's what the majority thinks. Furthermore, please avoid using informal language and words like "awesome", "cooler", and especially your image caption: "Here, Yoshi is thinking 'Hmm, for who can I be'". Keep in mind that you're editing an encyclopedia, so you're expected to write in a professional and unbiased manner.

If you see that someone removed a bad edit that you made, that does not mean you should revert it back without stating a reason. I highly suggest you go over some of the Writing Guidelines (especially this). It also seems you've been forgetting previous advice regarding italics and multiple links, so please remember that as well.

Lastly, regarding the "Luigi's long arms" glitch, please place that in the glitches page and provide a source for it. Thanks. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC


@Mariojc What's wrong with these quotes above? The earlier revisions of the page had it. TheUnknown67 was the one who added "Yoshi can jump even he has something in his mouth" in the Notable mistakes and errors section. Is it an error? Marole3 July 29, 2016

As I said, they are examples of opinionated and informal writing and shouldn't be used on the wiki. (This is what I'm talking about - Please don't add opinions or suggestions to articles.) You've also forgotten to use italics (This is done by putting two apostrophes on either end of the game title, like so: ''Super Mario 64'', as YoshiKong told you above. Or just click on the letter I icon above the text box and type in the name). Please remember these writing guidelines, otherwise a warning will be issued.

Trivia

Please don't add excessive amounts of trivia, as this is discouraged on the wiki. I removed the ones you added in that edit, as they do not classify as trivia, for various reasons:

  • Does not relate to the page itself (Korean version of NSMB, crate-shaped Yoshi eggs, "SMB has multiple endings"). In cases like these, please place them on the page it relates to most (New Super Mario Bros., Yoshi Egg, Super Mario Bros.). Note: Elements that were originally going to be in SM64DS belong here.
  • Obvious info (The spiked Thwomps, mission names).
  • Speculative info (Luigi's inclusion, "Wario coming to Peach's castle for the cake").

Overall, trivia should be a low priority when adding information. As I've said before, some of the info can be incorporated somewhere else in the article instead. Please read MarioWiki:Trivia for more information.

Also, please watch your spelling/grammar when you edit, as I've noticed several errors in your edits (most common is "it's"/"its" - "It's" means "it is"; "Its" is a possessive pronoun, as in "its chain"), and additionally, please remember to use italics for game titles. Both are just as important as and make up part of the Writing Guidelines. Thanks. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

Is trivia unsourced here? 0:03 3 August 2016 Marole3

Reminder

Please stop making edits with poor spelling/grammar on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You added this bit to Super Mario 64 DS:

  • King Bob-mob says "It's against the royal rules in the original" but says Against the Rules" in this version

Not only did you misspell King Bob-omb's name, you included "in the original" inside the quotes as if they were part of the quote, forgot to add the first quotation mark for "against the rules", capitalized the first letters of "against" and "rules" no apparent reason, and didn't finish your sentence with a period.

Warning

Warning.svg
This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (making careless edits, adding unnecessary info/trivia and reverting previously undone edits) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site.
If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

As I've noticed while going over your many edits on Super Mario 64 DS, you still continue to careless edits, even after you were given specific advice to avoid this. Among them, you did the same thing 7feetunder corrected you for above, added more unnecessary adjectives (Saying the ending without Wario is "better" turns it into opinion), confused "it's" with "its", forgot to capitalise proper nouns like "Spindrift", and even forgot to include italics even after I reminded you three times. You also redid the edits others, including an admin, already reverted (Granted, I fixed your most recent ones rather than revert them again, but it's still unacceptable).

No one likes having to always correct someone else's edits, and it'd be simpler for them to just revert them. So if you wish for your edits to stay, then please take better care in your edits and follow the advice that has been given to you. You are also encouraged to edit a variety of pages on the wiki, not just the one. Thanks. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

I did not revert anyone else's edit. Which words should I add? Marole3

But you did re-include many of your previous edits here that were already removed in these edits, without any explanation. Also, I'm not telling you specifically which words you should and shouldn't use. The words in quotes were examples I listed to give you a general idea of the kind of writing you should avoid; they are not words you should exclusively leave out.

Super Mario 64 DS

Please stop adding unneeded descriptive words on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

I see Super Mario 64 DS is your current obsession at the moment. That's totally fine (mine is Project X Zone 2). However, you continue to make low quality edits concerning info about SM64DS. It's great that you're trying to improve the info displayed, but all you're doing is adding a mess of unneeded descriptive words that just makes the info and paragraph(s) longer than they really need to be. Please see here for more info. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 18:24, 7 August 2016 (EDT)

They may have been true, but they were redundant and unneeded. And I changed Wario's slightly to make it flow better.
I know it's difficult to add new info to a game that been out for a while and people have been working on it, but time is really better spent adding in real info rather than descriptive adjectives. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 11:44, 8 August 2016 (EDT)

RE:File descriptions

Because it doesn't exactly show what they are running toward (can't be Peach, the castle is behind them!), so it was removed due to being speculation. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 10:50, 18 August 2016 (EDT)

Last warning

Lastwarn.svg
This is your last warning. The next time you break the rules in any way, you will be blocked from editing the Super Mario Wiki.
If you feel this last warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

There is really no excuse in forgetting italics after you've been reminded about it six times. This is your last warning.

Also something not related to this warning, there's no need to edit Super Mario 64 DS under different anonymous IP addresses to hide your identity. I only said it was encouraged you edit other pages, not required. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC

Characters

I was only describing the characters' abilities.

What's the link on Chief Chilly page for.

And what words should I not add? --Marole3 (talk) 01:17, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

You're missing the point of my warning. Please read over it again. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 04:58, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

Okay so are italics like this? " " --Marole3 (talk) 23:19, 21 August 2016 (EDT)

Besides "SM64DS", I'm also editing "Mario Kart DS". --Marole3 (talk) 01:38, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

Italics are written with two apostrophes, not quotation marks, like this: ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' And you don't need to worry about doing it on talk pages, just in articles. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 03:52, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
