Editing User talk:DumbellaVanderquack

== Images ==

Hey, thanks for uploading an image. Keep in mind the file should at least have a category and license, the aboutfile is optional but preferred. Using the file you uploaded as an example, it would look like this:
<pre>
==Summary==
{{image-quality}}
{{aboutfile
|1=A boss battle with the Chargin' Chuck Corps.
}}
[[Category:Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam Images]]
==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}
</pre>

For more information, you can look at [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|our image use policy]] and [[MarioWiki:Categories|category]] pages, or let me know if you have any questions. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:34, November 23, 2020 (EST)

Please make sure you're copy/pasting the code above when you're uploading next time. I would suggest using [[Special:Upload]] to upload instead as this is easier. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:59, November 26, 2020 (EST)

Also, please avoid uploading multiple near-identical images with very minor differences (like the frames of the Mario Bros.). Only one is necessary. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:21, November 26, 2020 (EST)
{{Personal-file-warning}}
You have uploaded too many [[MarioWiki:Personal files|personal images]]. Please choose '''five''' to keep and mark the rest for deletion. (Use {{tem|delete}}) {{User:DarkNight/sig}} 23:38, November 26, 2020 (EST)
:@DarkNight, the proper template for this is [[Template:Personal-file-warning]], I'll change that. But yes, DumbellaVanderquack, you have too many personal images, the max amount is five. Please select the ones you want to keep and ones you want to delete. If you want to place more images in your userspace, you can directly link them by uploading them to an image hosting website. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 00:01, November 27, 2020 (EST)

It has caught my attention again that you've been uploading excess personal images despite the reminder. You have 17 personal images, you are allowed only five as per [[MarioWiki:Personal files|our personal image policy]].

Please select and choose five images to keep. If none are choosen for you, they will be deleted at random. If you upload any more personal images, you will receive a warning. I'll also remind you again that you are free to upload images to an image hosting site such as imgur and externally link them from there. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 04:34, November 27, 2020 (EST)

These are not my personal images, these are my article images. So, they will not be deleted. {{unsigned|DumbellaVanderquack}}
:Most of the images you uploaded are fan-made and are not missional to the wiki, and they are intended for your userspace. You are free to edit your userspace as your own article (though you are encouraged to edit mainspace articles), but excess images will be deleted by our sysops. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 04:42, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Actually, the user has 18 personal images, because of [[:File:Mario & Luigi- Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey Group Photo.png]] {{User:Wynn Liaw/sig}} 06:08, November 27, 2020 (EST)
:One other thing that should be mentioned is that we don't allow fan-modified images in main articles, like the Mario Bros. artwork without Starlow in them. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

I counted again, and found out that the user has 27 personal images! Files missed:
*[[:File:The Quartet is All Together!.png]]
*[[:File:Wiggler Medley (Quartet 1) Video Thumbnail.png]]
*[[:File:Checking the Book.png]]
*[[:File:Dumbella Presenting Doctor's Orders.png]]

*[[:File:BISDXMarioBros.png]]
*[[:File:Mario, Luigi and Paper Mario.png]]
*[[:File:MLPJ Mario and Luigi.png]]

I did this to ensure that no one misses anything. {{User:Wynn Liaw/sig}} 11:57, November 27, 2020 (EST)
:Well you have a week to decide which 5 of those 27 images you want to keep, otherwise 22 of them will be deleted at random. And please don't upload any more. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

Also, can you tell us where you got [https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Dr._Peach_in_Action.png  this image in question from]? It looks like it was possibly edited out of a gameplay screenshot. If I'm not mistaken, if that is also fan made and/or not "official" from a game installment, that qualifies for deletion too. --M. C. - [[User:MeritC|Profile]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]]

They are my article user images, not personal images.
{{unsigned|DumbellaVanderquack}}
:If the images are solely being uploaded for use on your userpage/userspace, they count as personal images regardless of what you want to call them. You are allowed a maximum of five images for your "user article", and any others will be deleted- this will be done at random if you don't mark up some specific ones to be deleted. I'd recommend you take a look at [[MarioWiki:Personal files|this page]] if you haven't done so already. Also, you need to be making more edits to mainspace pages (i.e. not your userpage/personal images/user talk page), as continuing to make excessive userspace edits will eventually lead to some kind of official warning.

{{warning|2=Failure for heeding to the personal image reminder, uploading more images despite being told to stop}}

Please stop uploading more personal images. By the way, [[Template:Mariowiki-image]] purpose is to be used for namespace "MarioWiki:", which includes proposals, featured article banners, site logo. It is not intended for your userpage. Failure to abide by continuously uploading more personal images will lead you to a Last Warning, and after that, you risk getting banned from the wiki. Please delete your excess personal images so only five remains. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 20:16, November 27, 2020 (EST)
:You cannot delete other user messages on the page, nor are you allowed to delete warnings just a heads up. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 20:36, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Please stop removing the {{tem|personal-image}} tag for images that you've uploaded solely for your userpage. As they are only used for this purpose, they are treated as your personal images. Otherwise, mark it for deletion. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:49, November 27, 2020 (EST)

Any self-edited artwork with a character removed is not allowed on galleries and articles and will also be treated as personal images for the time being. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:04, November 27, 2020 (EST)
:I may not be an admin myself, but I should say this: even after you remove your personal images, the warning will not be removed. Warnings given from actual admins stand permenantly. And you go to [[MarioWiki:Appeals]] to request your warning to be appealed, you don't put that here. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

Adding on to this, you need to focus less on your userpage. [[Special:Editcount/DumbellaVanderquack|Your amount of userspace edits account for 60.33% of your total edits]], and that number needs to come down. While I'm glad you want us to get to know you better, the Super Mario Wiki is not a social media site. You are free to join our [[mb:|forums]] and introduce yourself there, but your userpage editing here needs to come to an end until you have more helpful contributions. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:01, November 27, 2020 (EST)
:Because you have continued editing your userpage and spent no real time editing anything else, your privilege to do so has been revoked for two weeks. Please spend more time editing main articles. Waiting out the period just to continue editing your userpage again (whether you edited anything else or not) will result in further warnings. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:56, November 30, 2020 (EST)
Please contribute more to the mainspace. {{User:Wynn Liaw/sig}} 02:48, December 20, 2020 (EST)

== Re: File Requests ==

Okay, I've uploaded two images. I'm going to upload more when I have time, but I've been kind of busy lately. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 00:01, December 1, 2020 (EST)
:Those are the two closest screenshots I've taken. Sorry if they aren't exactly what you want. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 20:50, December 1, 2020 (EST)
::I told you, I don't have a screenshot of that moment. {{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 21:06, December 1, 2020 (EST)

== Bowser has a mother. ==

"When I was born, I don't have any parents like Bowser." Bowser has a [[Bowser's mother|mother]]. {{User:Wynn Liaw/sig}} 09:22, December 1, 2020 (EST)

== RE: I want to apologize once and unblock ==

[[Special:Contributions/DumbellaVanderquack|Your contributions say otherwise]]. User talk pages (not to mention demanding images) also count toward this. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:54, December 1, 2020 (EST)

== Edited images ==

*[[:File:MLPJ Final Battle Prologue.png]]
*[[:File:Victory Parade Ending M&LPJ.png]]
*[[:File:The Mario Trio.png]]

Even though these look like game screenshots not marked as personal, they are screenshots edited by you and used solely for your userpage, meaning they're treated as your personal images and you still have too many. Either mark these for deletion and use the original screenshots we already have with Starlow or mark three of your other personal images. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:30, December 24, 2020 (EST)

== Last Warning ==

{{last warning}}
Stop editing your userpage. While your uploads and gallery edits are fine, you are continuing to edit your userpage with no main space article edits after you were restricted from doing so. tbh, I did this in the wrong order, the last warn should've come before restricting your userpage access. So keep this in mind: Continuing to edit your userpage before getting your main edits up ''will'' result in you being unable to edit at all. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:09, December 27, 2020 (EST)
:The reason you join a wiki is to help edit mainspace articles, not to treat it like a social media website and do nothing but edit your own userpage. Your userpage is the sort of thing you should only really do once in a while if you can balance that with enough mainspace edits. Also, stop trying to put appeal requests here. This is not the page for that, and the warning can't even be appealed anyway because it was issued by an admin. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

This warning is fairly undeserved. I'm totally aware of it and I will always never do such thing like that again after receiving that last warning. It needs to be [[MarioWiki:Appeals|appealed]] and overturned. Sorry for the apologize.

== Mainspace talk pages ==

Just to let you know, talk pages are only for discussing what to do with the article yourself. Forum talk like what you said on Fire Bro's talk page is not allowed and will be removed on sight. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 20:02, February 9, 2021 (EST)

== I need to avoid that last warning ==
I'm sorry. I didn't know I was fixing my userpage for the last time, then the last warning suddenly showed up, which is very wrong. I realized that last warning is really undeserved and it needs to be appealed, because I'm a respectful person that I've understand. I didn't do anything bad here and the mistakes that I've made. I paid attention to every rules in this Wiki and always being very positive all the time. I won't always edit my userpage, that's all. Thank you, I recommended to appeal this last warning.{{unsigned|DumbellaVanderquack}}
:I'll leave the notice on my talk page (nvm Mario jc removed it as I was typing this), but it's invalid. Warnings handed out by admins cannot be appealed unless discussed with the warning admin. Also, you didn't appeal properly.
:As the warning admin, the last warning is valid. Despite the messages beforehand, you continued to edit your userpage and have made very little contributions to the actual wiki. Even at this time, you have made only two edits on main articles. You need to do more.
:Even though I admitted I handed out the warning in the wrong order, you still continued to edit your userpage immediately after the block on it ended. The last warning stands. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:48, February 9, 2021 (EST)

:We've been through the appeal matter already. The warning is nearly two months old now; if you've stopped making excessive userspace edits since, then good, that means you're following the rules but that's when you should ''move on'' from it. It's in the past now, and as long as this doesn't happen again, you're not going to get penalised for the same thing, but the warning stays because it's a record. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:11, February 9, 2021 (EST)

I suddenly realized that last warning is undeserved.
====DumbellaVanderquack====
*The last warning is true, but I admit it's a mistake and it must be overturned, because my userpage is already maxed out.
====Alex95====
:I'm afraid you misunderstand the point of this. Your message on my talk page reads like you want to remove the last warning so you can edit your userpage again. That is the very point of what the last warning is telling you to not do.
:If you want to show you are responsible, then show it. Trying to get around the warning with excuses is not responsible.
:And again, you are appealing incorrectly and appealing in the wrong place. Instructions are on the warning template you are trying to remove. (Trying to post this on the actual appeals page will just have it end up getting removed due to being invalid anyway.) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:04, February 10, 2021 (EST)
::Also, "maxing out" your userpage isn't a thing. You've simply just been editing it too much and need to focus more on the wiki itself. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:14, February 10, 2021 (EST)

I'm pretty sure I already said this above, but warnings given by admins never get removed at all. It's there as a record and you are supposed to learn from it. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}} 06:00, February 10, 2021 (EST)
