Second person writing

Hello, I've seen you've been writing articles for Mario Party: Star Rush minigames. While the effort is appreciated, please refrain from using second person or imperative-style writing (aka "you need to this" "do this to proceed" etc.) Please read the manual of style before you proceed further. Thank you. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:57, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

Oh,sorry. I did every Free-For-All minigame but I'll not go further without reading it. I though it was okay if I just took the same format and the other edits would fix it. You are welcome and I hope to still be useful to this wiki! Thanks for telling be btw. Spongyoshi (talk) 15:16, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

That's fine, that's why we're all here for. I'll be proofreading your writing and I'll be sure to fix any errors you may have. Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:17, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

Thank you and have a nice day! Spongyoshi (talk) 15:19, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

Uploads

Hello, Spongyoshi. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups: Images Audio/video files Company images Film images Game images Merchandise images Publication images System images Television series images Website images Company media files Film media files Game media files Merchandise media files Publication media files System media files Television series media files Website media files When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, files related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]] or [[Category:Super Mario World media files]] Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Hello, Spongyoshi. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. A full list of licenses can be found in the file copyright tags category, but the following are the most common: {{game-screenshot}} - Used for game screenshots. {{game-sprite}} - Used for game sprites. {{game-3Drender}} - Used for game models. {{game-cover}} - Used for game box art. {{character-artwork}} - Used for artwork of a character. {{game-logo}} - Used for a game's logo. {{logo}} - Used for other logos. {{photo}} - Used for photographs of real-life subjects. {{art}} - Used for artwork of something that is not a character. {{comic-scene}} - Used for scans of a comic. {{comic-cover}} - Used for covers of comic books. {{tv-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of television shows. {{film-screenshot}} - Used for screenshots of movies. {{video-screenshot}} - Used for other screenshots, such as those from YouTube. {{dvd-cover}} - Used for box art of DVDs. {{vhs-cover}} - Used for box art of VHSes. {{album-cover}} - Used for box art of music albums. {{poster}} - Used for promotional posters. {{music-sample}} - Used for music files. {{sound-clip}} - Used for sound effects. {{video-clip}} - Used for video files. When uploading, select the license from the drop-down box below the summary text box, or add the license manually after uploading or if you're using the upload function from the text editor. For example, artwork of Mario would use {{character-artwork}}. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Don't include multiple copyright templates; choose the one that you feel best fits the file. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing.

Please remember to add licenses and categories for future uploads as explained above, so for the microgame screenshots, you'd add {{game-screenshot}} and [[Category:WarioWare: Get It Together! images]]. Mario JC 21:49, September 14, 2021 (EDT)

Oh, thank you! Sorry, I was unaware of all those procedures, I'm gonna add this to the future pictures I upload! I took them myself btw just in case you're wondering, thank you!! Spongyoshi (talk) 15:43, September 16, 2021 (EDT)

Image files should only use "Category:(game) images" categories. "microgames" categories are only for articles. Mario JC 03:39, November 25, 2023 (EST)

Its vs it's

"It's" is the short form of "it is". The correct usage for the possessive pronoun should be "its" with no apostrophe ("its mouth", "its tail" etc.). Mario JC 02:45, November 25, 2023 (EST)
Thank you for telling me about this and the thing above, didn't knew about that little rule, I hope there wasn't any other grammatical errors in my edits.. Have a nice week-end!! Spongyoshi (talk) 13:57, November 25, 2023 (EST)
