Pre-Userpedia-Sysop days The Summer of '08 Now is the winter of our discontent...

Status: Busy. Very busy. I'm in my last year of highschool, so the teachers are working us like dogs, and my future hinges on good marks. Needless to say, my free-time has nose dived, and while I'm still editing the Wiki as much as possible, I humbly request that no one pays me courtesy-calls for the time being. If you need to talk to me about matters of the Super Mario Wiki or Userpedia, then go ahead, but I'm afraid I don't have time to simply chat anymore...

Hi Again

Heya, Walkazo. Long time, no talk. How have you been? I bet you're glad high school is almost over, eh? :P — Stooben Rooben 21:31, 17 April 2009 (EDT)

Yikes. Yeah, university can be a scary thing. Though, when I was in university last year, it wasn't too bad. The courses were a little harder, but the reports were nothing compared to what my mother gave me. I know you'll do alright; you're really smart. ...4:30 AM? Girl, that is insane. (Well, I have stayed up that late before, but that's different than waking up that early.) But, birds are really wonderful creatures; I imagine it's well worth the effort. =) Me? Meh, I'm not doing too bad. I'm starting to get back in the swing of editing since my family and I have settled down for a bit. I'll be going back to university sometimes soon, which is something I'm looking forward to. Other than that, I've been working on my forums a lot. Ever since I moved the site to a Simple Machines forum, the site has really been thriving, which is nice. — Stooben Rooben 23:17, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

Some sad news

Birdoshi asked me to tell her most dear friends that she's quitting from the Wiki because she's moving to Spain well, if you want some more advice about her retirement, ask me Castle Toad 22:51, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

That is sad news; thanks for telling me. Birdoshi was a good editor, and I must say, I'm honored she thinks of me as one of her dearest friends. I hope she'll be happy in Spain. - Walkazo 23:02, 22 April 2009 (EDT)

Well yes, indeed, she mentioned you in the list she gave me of Dearest Friends that i must give advice of her retirement, well i also hope that she can have a great life there!!! Castle Toad (talk)

Skype

Hey, do you have Skype? If so, what is your username?—Mandi (T) 22:02, 11 May 2009 (EDT)
I have a few wiki related questions I wanted to ask. Also, I wouldn't mind getting into a Mario wiki chat :P

I never even heard of Skype until you mentioned it just now - probably because my computer's too old to support features like that anyway. Same with chat, though you can ask me any questions you have here. - Walkazo

The never lasting non-chatting section (not really!)

Ah, what a busy female. Mmm. I'm going to get a bit more busy as well, I have to finish my current art project, my letter R written over with drawings I made. I have to paint the spaces here and there. Also, I have a science project for the big ending at the end of the year, involving a person in front of everyone, umm, some cardboard with pictures and text, and talking w/ the skills from drama class. As for the wiki, I'm doing some other things (I think you didn't respond back... understanded tho), compressing more images in UP, and now recently polishing templates that I pick for myself. Examples? Template:SM64, Template:WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$! Microgames, and Template:Yoshi's Story (I might have to work on that tho). And I'll be releasing all over 500 images into the wiki in a certain day, my birthday. ;P Oh more theories eh? Good luck "Walkazifying" (Wal-ka-zi-fy-ing, I can't even pronounce it quickly! XD EDIT: Oh never mind.) your concepts there. Really. Just really. :3 RAP... Any news I wanted to know? Besides the swine flu... ;\

Incase you haven't responded, I decided to write up this once again. Well, today's my birthday. I got some presents from the wiki, and in RL. :3 Banjo & Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. That bird and bear with that magic wrench given by the Loard of Games when he took their moves away. Mmm. :P I tried uploading all of my images. Apparently I only got around 229 images (right now) instead of 550 images. I actually started the launch of the images when the clock strikes 12. Dang, it took more than what I can handle. So I'll be continuing a bit... *yawn* Later. RAP... Oh, and I think I either made over 1000 edits, or 500 edits today, I can't tell if it is one of them. ;o

Hey, you have your skull looking at the staff forums, and your head on thinking of your "proving-ground" decisions there. Anyways, I heard this weird quirky dream that you were typing your response, but it turns out you were responding to the other users that you had. St00bs said something that my mini-dream might tell me the future. I was wrong once, although the leftovers tell me you'd respond later on anyway. OK, enough on that...

Er, I might had read that part when I was disappointed that you didn't respond back. A DRAGON? (roars happily... did I say that right?) xD Me wantz-see-it-ya!!!!! Oh wait. Until your done. Patience is grood. :3 Deleting templates? :O Well... *crosses out to-do entry from his paper, and writes "Walkazifying in progress"* Good luck with that list! I have some ideas of expanding some of the templates, but you do the deletions. :evil: The next launch of the revenge of the images will be dated somewhere in the summer. Here's a hint, recent Nintendo press kits. :O In Nintendo related news, by the time E3 already ended, Nintendo had already completed designing the successor of the DS, but due to the major sales of the DSi, they decided to drop it. It might be sad for the fans, but it gives Nintendo the opportunity to improve the hardware, and they might release it later on in a couple of years. I don't mean to bug you, but how are you today? RAP...

...*looks at the recent pages* Is it me, or you are still in school using that computer in the library? o_O Oh by the way, I'm out of school already so... just making a quick comment during my break. RAP... I will continue working on the wiki on probably next week...

Yayz for you. :3 ...And, I noticed we're the only ones in the wiki. ...Weird. It excludes guests anyway, xD Anyway, wiki break, moar image hunting. RAP... Is image hunting a mere contribution to the wiki when i'm going to upload the whole bunch of it? EDIT: NO!!!!!!!!!!!! Cobold's here! XD (I will write my other message from you later)

...(continues conversation) Good luck, and please handle the dynamite well for those wiki template demolitions. I almost got killed planting a dynamite while avoid a bunch of Yam-Yams in my game Rocks 'n' Diamonds! X3 When is school going to be over for you? It seems your in the wiki most of the time by now. Have you heard my project "Growth of the Summer"? If not, read my post in the staff forums. ;o Also, after cleaning up my archive binder, I realized how much stuff I have done from the last couple of years while keeping my ideas inside. The R'n'D level ideas notebook, the Mario Party Coin Madness notebook, my poems and other writings in English that truly touches me, canceled series of my handdrawn comic (it still made me chuckle when I looked over the pages :3), my complete drawings, scraps of them, and etc, more Rocks and Diamonds stuff, and finally, the "suggested" wiki ideas that I made for myself. And only less than 5 percent is revealed to the wiki. Heh. x3 All my activities, in there. The binder. Have you kept a history of your work for future purposes? :3 RAP... History is made every day. By good reasons, or bad reasons. You can't escape it. :O

Hey

Walkazo, you said you have an eleven-year-old computer? Is it... Windows 98, by any chance? I currently use it too and it is extremely slow. The only other computer I use is a Windows ME laptop, which doesn't have Internet and is still slower than my 98. · SMB (Talk) ·

Mine's a Mac OS 9.2. PP (my little brother) has a laptop which I use sometimes, but I really hate it (long story). - Walkazo 22:32, 15 May 2009 (EDT)

By the way, I have to things to add.

• I have a new proposal based off of your ideas. Perhaps you should check it out.
• I included your name in the proposer section as well as mine because I think they were your ideas. Is that ok that I put you as one of the proposers? · SMB (Talk) ·

Ok, you got it Walkazo! · SMB (Talk) ·

Sysop Board

Hi, Grandy. The members on the Sysop board deemed it necessary to install a new feature that'll increase the security of the wiki. To do this, you will have to get an account registered on the forums. Once you make your account there, the issue will be explained. Since you have trouble loading the forums (because of avatars and signatures, right?), you can edit your 'Look and Layout Preferences' to turn off avatar and signature display. That'd make the forum run much faster, I'm sure. If I can do something else to help, let me know. (Also, I'll respond to your other message as soon as I can.) Thanks. — Stooben Rooben 01:53, 15 May 2009 (EDT)

I'm not Grandy. ;p - Walkazo 22:32, 15 May 2009 (EDT)

Hi

Wanna be in my new comic on Userpedia? It's a murder-mystery. :) SJ derp :P

Sure. It sounds cool. What's my role? Not the victim, I hope XP - Walkazo 23:01, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

Well, the story arc system is similar to the arc system in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni. In each story arc, there are different culprits and different victims. But everyone is a victim at least once. If the story plans out the way I hope it does, you will be one of the survivors in the first story arc. ;) By the way, if you want a link to the page, here it is. SJ derp :P

Neat. Higurashi no Naku Koro ni is on my to-see list ;D - Walkazo 23:17, 17 May 2009 (EDT)

You can get the DVDs at Best Buy. :) And the 1st 3 volumes of the Manga are in North America. :) (I have all 3 in NA ^_^). So how long 'til school's out? It's weird not talking to you on a regular basis. SJ derp :P

I'll keep that in mind. School's out in a month, but it's the hardest month of the year. I have to write two essays (one English, one French), do two art projects and another English project that hasn't been assigned yet, write four exams, give three French presentations, read/reread two books by Friday, and keep up with day-to-day math and science homework too. I also have to oversee locker painting, volunteer on the weekends, babysit after school and stay active on the Wiki. It's nuts. - Walkazo 01:18, 18 May 2009 (EDT)

Check the Forum

Attention Walkazo!
Please check your inbox on the forums and/or the Wiki Admins Board for an important Administrative message. From, Yoshario

Thank You

Thank you for adding the rule Walkazo. I realized I messed up multiple times on the proposal and I also realized that you are right, the wiki doesn't have super-specific rules and it has worked so far, I shouldn't just come and try to change everything. Next time I want to consider making a proposal, I'm going to think it through before I post it up. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

No problem; at least we all learned how much we needed that rule as a result of the whole mess. It's always good to learn from one's mistakes, otherwise you'll make them again. I hate making mistakes, so I brood over my Proposal ideas for weeks before posting them, so that I have it just right. I also don't bother keeping tallies of anything I do, so that I'm not tempted to go for quantity over quality; after all, editing isn't a competition. - Walkazo 00:10, 8 June 2009 (EDT)

Dry Death Lands

Hey Walkzo. Why did you get rid of the Desert template? General bob-omb Ok makes sense. Thanks for explaining General bob-omb

Userpedia

Hey Walkazo, I have a question. Would you like to be in my story on Userpedia? I would have you with cool powers as a Sysop, as it combines elements of Userpedia/Mario Wiki and the Real World. · SMB (Talk) ·

Sure. I love being in stories. Can you tell me more about how it combines RL aspects with the Wiki? - Walkazo 17:57, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

I'd love too. For example (I haven't really thought out how it would work for Sysops, but your role would come in about 2 chapters), their is one part where a gang of trolls will try beating up Mario & Luigi in the city of Pipe Plaza. The Patrollers (like police officers) come and block them (defeat and banish them from the wiki indefinitely) and Mario is drained in energy and has injuries (like bruises). The patroller would give him "rollback" (a medical potion which all patrollers posses) to undo all the damage the trolls did to him. I know it may sound weird, but I still have time to come up with better things. Super Mario Bros. (talk)

The premise is a little weird, but I like the stuff about "rollback" and the Patrollers (but if they're the cops, what are the Sysops?). - Walkazo 20:41, 9 June 2009 (EDT)

Personal Images

You know about this image. Image:Mario7--screenshot small.jpg Actually, it's not a personal image. I kept that for the Beta article. I just wanted to let you know. BoygeyPumpkineer

Hey Walkazo...

I need a favor. Could you please add links to the Pipe Project and the Shroom to the Welcome Template? · SMB (Talk) ·

Well, uh, never mind. And about the story, Sysops are kind of like lieutenant officers, as opposed to "regular" police officers. They have more abilities, as the story explains, like the CheckUser (tracking) device, and other abilities will be revealed later. · SMB (Talk) ·

Okey-dokey. - Walkazo 00:32, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Hey, Walkazo. While you're online, could you add the links to the Welcome template? Stooben does not seem to have done it. · SMB (Talk) ·

I added the PipeProjects, but not the 'Shroom, since the Welcome Template's focus is on getting new Users editing. The 'Shroom has a link on the side-bar so if they're interested in the community aspect of the Wiki, they'll find it without any problem. - Walkazo 17:37, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Thank you. SMB

Spelling

HI! and thanks for telling me, its not stupid, actually it is good you told me. I dont speak french, so it was a spelling mistake :) ™ Do you read The 'Shroom?

Referata...

...Userpedia-Referata is/has been taken over by trolls. I know it is very inactive, but I need help. Do you use Referata? I think it says you are a Bureaucrat on there. If that is the case, please log in and help me fight the trolls. I still use Adriels, but Referata has info. that Adriels doesn't. That info. could be saved. · SMB (Talk) ·

Spelling again

Yes, i think its fine if you ask for permission :) ™ ME!

Yes, its fine :) thanks ™ <insert random commentary>

why did i put another headline??

Yes, its fine :) thanks ™ <insert random commentary>

Re: Re: Referata

Oh... I didn't know Referata was taken over... And about the info., I think there were some articles, I will happily add them over to Adriels. · SMB (Talk) ·

Thanks, Walkazo! Birdoshi ^o^

For deleting the Birdo image, right? No problem: it's what I do. I hope it turns out to be a real image though - it was a cool piece of artwork... pun intended ;D - Walkazo

Me too, that picture was cool! Birdoshi keep up the good work!!~ ;D btw, have you seen this video? [1] I really like it! ;D Birdoshi

Well, the time is up for today,I only been here because I had to fix some problems with my old school, and (tomorrow) I have to go to my new home from Spain, oh.., good bye! I will miss you. =( Hasta la vista! ^,^ and thank you very very very muuuch!!!! ;D, Good luck with your studies! n__n your friend: Birdoshi
