== Thwomps and junk ==

There was. It was mentioned at the top. As for the Fat Guys, there's no way that was a mistake, it was a "King" variant. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 03:45, 27 August 2018 (EDT)

My translation:

''Waveringly approaching, contact makes it suddenly speed up and snatch the baby. As soon as he's taken away, let's give chase and return him.''

Basically what you'd expect, I should think. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:53, 29 August 2018 (EDT)

:I meant that the guides just describe whatever one happens to be pictured. So Shogakukan's [[media:Advance_3_Shogakukan_P16.png|Game Boy Advance]] guide shows and describes Green Toady, but the [[media:Super_Mario_Yossy_Island_Shogakukan_P4_P5.jpg|Super Famicom]] version has Kamek's Toady and the ''[[media:Yoshi_New_Island_Shogakukan_P20.jpg|Yoshi's New Island]]'' one has Solo Toady, and they all have the name Kokamek.

== Image reuploads ==

Uploading a new version of an image can be glitchy. Press Ctrl+F5 to refresh your browser and have the most recent image show up. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:04, 30 August 2018 (EDT)
:You're welcome! <small><small><small>Now to delete all those image revisions.</small></small></small> {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:09, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, when you move images, be sure to correct the links that lead to it. You can find these links by clicking the "What links here" tool on the sidebar while on the page. The file redirect should also be marked for deletion. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:20, 30 August 2018 (EDT)

Sure, I'd just prefer if the file-naming standard of the project was followed. And try to make them distinct. If I have them in a specific pose (such as the open-mouthed Hootie and Dangling Ghost), I'd like if that were still in the image, as it shows more of the enemy than otherwise.

== Signature ==

{{sigbox|raw=--[[File:SMW2yoshi.gif]] [[User:FanOfYoshi|FanOfYoshi]] [[ User talk:FanOfYoshi|Talk]] [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Contributions/FanOfYoshi Contribs]}}
Hello. Just letting you know that your signature currently violates a few rules outlined in [[MarioWiki:Signatures]]:
*Your signature is too long. It should be shortened to fit in the box above.
*Your signature should include your username, or a variation/nickname that lets others know it's you (just "Yoshi" isn't very recognisable).
*You're adding your signature as raw code. Now that you're autoconfirmed, you should copy/paste your signature code to a signature subpage ([[User:FanOfYoshi/sig]]), then change your [[Special:Preferences|preferences]] accordingly (in the text field under "'''Signature'''", type in <nowiki>{{SUBST:nosubst|User:FanOfYoshi/sig}}</nowiki>, tick the "Treat signature as wikitext (without an automatic link)" check box below it, then hit save; your signature then appears as <code><nowiki>{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}}</nowiki></code> plus the timestamp when you sign with <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> instead of the entire code (the individual Yoshi GIF, contributions URL etc.))
More information can be found on the signatures policy page I linked. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:02, 1 September 2018 (EDT)
:Yep, looks good. Just copy/paste that to your signature page and change your preferences. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:08, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

::You're still signing with [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Giant_Raven&diff=prev&oldid=2496947 raw code]. Did you add <nowiki>{{SUBST:nosubst|User:FanOfYoshi/sig}}</nowiki> to the text field and tick the checkbox in your signature preferences?

::This is just so your signature page is transcluded to every comment you sign, not the actual coding, so if you ever change [[User:FanOfYoshi/sig]], the changes are reflected in all of your previous signed comments. This is also helpful if, for example, a larger version of the image is uploaded and it gets in the way of other talk page comments, since you can resize it on one page rather than having to go back and do it for every time the image was used. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:23, 1 September 2018 (EDT)

The [[:File:NSMB - Splunkin Model.png|Splunkin]] and [[:File:Boo.gif|Boo]] images in your signature need to be shrunk to 35px or less. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:27, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

:Also forgot to add: only one animated image can be used for your signature, so one of the GIFs unfortunately needs to be removed. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:50, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

Again, [[MarioWiki:Signatures|only one gif can be included in your signature]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:08, 14 February 2019 (EST)

== Project page ==

Your project page is meant for working on projects related to helping the wiki. What you have on your project page looks more like fan ideas that would be better suited to our [[mb:|forums]]. The information can be brought there, but it shouldn't be on the project page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:18, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
:No. Subpages should only be used for wiki-related matters. There is a Fan-creations board on the forums, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:26, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
::Yeah, on your main userpage is fine, as long as you don't spend too much time on it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:59, 3 September 2018 (EDT)

== Re:Solo Toady picture ==

I wouldn't know. All I know is that due to the most recent emulator site (it was a self-proclaimed paradise) getting gutted, I can't get good non-YouTube screenshots until the next emulation site inevitably starts up. Hard to take screenshots from a game on a regular 3DS, that's for sure. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:06, 3 September 2018 (EDT)
:Was that last one intended to go to me? It didn't seem like it was in response to anything I said. I was more talking about myself above. Also, you seem to still be inputting your sig in raw code, just by the way. (assuming that's being copypasted?) Anyways, with the lack of shoes, that'll make converting from my regular Toady sprites to Solo Toady sprites a lot easier, but currently my non-schoolwork time is going to a ripping project for ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' on the [[Super Game Boy]]. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:19, 3 September 2018 (EDT)

== File redirects needing deleted ==
You don't need to tell them every time, there's a maintenance page that lists them that they check regularly. There's been a lot of file-moving recently, so it'd definitely be seen. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:48, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

== Moving files ==

For future reference, after [[:File:YWW Yarn Ball Yoshi.jpg|moving a file]], keep in mind that the pages currently using the file (found at the bottom of the file page under "File usage") should be updated to use the new file name. After doing that, the old name must be marked for deletion with <code>{{tem|delete}}</code>. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:19, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

:You're still forgetting this with [[:File:Slimes.png]] and [[:File:Monkay.png]]. Please remember in the future or a reminder may be issued. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:38, 4 October 2018 (EDT)

For [[:File:Yoshi ski.png]], you still had links left to fix before marking the old name for deletion. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:27, 17 October 2018 (EDT)

== Re: Yoshi's New Island quality ==

As far as I know, that is a hardware modification to capture footage directly from the 3DS. HANS is software-based, but doesn't capture video. It's use is to capture screenshots by PNG. I wouldn't recommend hardware modifications for screenshots, unless you are OK with dismantling your 3DS. There is an alternative screenshot software that is said to be better than HANS, but it installs itself onto the 3DS and may require system firmware modification. That is why I recommend HANS because it doesn't modify hardware or the 3DS firmware. To review:
*HANS (only needs an entry point, or exploit, to run and doesn't require any modifications to the system)
*NTR (installs itself on the 3DS and may require system firmware modification to run properly)
*Hardware mod (dismantle the 3DS to capture game footage)
Hope this helps. Visit [https://old.reddit.com/r/3dshacks r/3dshacks] for help how to homebrew your 3DS (for exploits). Also, to save consecutive edits, use the <tt>show preview</tt> button next to the <tt>save page</tt> button.--{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 10:25, 4 September 2018 (EDT)

== Blarggwich ==

Oh, Blarggwich doesn't use "sprites" other than the eyes. The body is made from the same type of isosceles triangle object that most other squash-and-stretch enemies and objects in the game uses, as well as the polygons in ''Star Fox''. It's a Super FX thing, which is why only a few games had it. It also allows for sprite rotation and the tile pileup regarding the feet of many creatures in the game. And while ''Super Mario World'' and ''Kirby Super Star'' appeared to have sprite rotation in some boss fights, these are actually background layers, and thus a different story completely.

== Re:autoconfirmed ==

I say the Snapjaw / Snap Jaw article can probably be split without much problem since no one has come up with an objection in all that time, but there seems to be conflicting opinions about Huffin Puffin, so that one should definitely have a proposal. I recommend three options: 1) Split Huffin Puffin and Fluffin' Puffin, 2) Rename to Fluffin' Puffin, and 3) Keep as Huffin Puffin. That last one is because it's suggested that even though Fluffin' Puffin is the more recent name, it only applies to ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', so it Huffin Puffin would be interpreted as the more common name for the usual, non-wool version, making it an [[MarioWiki:Naming#Name_changes|exception]]. Or if you want to make the proposal only about the split, that's fine too, but there should be some discussion about the current name afterwards in the event it doesn't pass. You can follow the how-to [[MarioWiki:Proposals#How_to|here]], but if you're still not sure, I can do it for you if you'd like. (Also, I have fond memories of ''Yoshi's Island'' on SNES as well as the ''Super Show'' back when it was airing, so I like it.)

== Rocky Wrench ==

I think they should both be classified as derivatives of each other since there's no hard evidence for or against the other two choices. This may sound blunt, but I already detailed my argument in my vote. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 11:08, 10 September 2018 (EDT)

== RE: Signature ==

Yep, your signature code comes out as <code><nowiki>{{User:FanOfYoshi/sig}}</nowiki></code> (a transclusion of your [[User:FanOfYoshi/sig|signature page]]), which is correct. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:39, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

== Friend boxes ==

Looks like you are using friendboxes, though it doesn't appear that you asked for them and are custom made. Usually you have ask first, and it's usually even stated on their userpages that you should, including mine. According to [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]]:
*"''Unless you have someone's permission, don't add their friend userbox to your userbox tower or create a fake box on their behalf.''"
If you want to ask someone if you can have the friend userbox, you can, but the ones you created should be removed.

That said, you can replace the one you made with mine if you want :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:07, 11 September 2018 (EDT)
:I am also fine with you keeping me on your list. You can use the one found on my userpage if you want! --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 12:12, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

== Re:Needlenose ==

Yes, it's a little confusing because Needlenose and the original Spiked Fun Guy are both plainly referred to as Sanbo (Pokey) in Japanese versions and are considered the same thing despite the difference in appearance in behavior, and the "Pokey (''Yoshi's Island'' series)" also has a different name altogether, Heading Sanbo/Pokey. Not to mention that standard Pokeys eventually appeared in the ''Yoshi'' franchise in ''Yoshi's New Island'' alongside Needlenoses (still Sanbo in Japanese), which were soon replaced by a different type of enemy called Pokey Poms in ''Yoshi's Woolly World''. I think the simplest thing to do is to consider them all separate entities, as they are cactus-like but have notable differences (although Cactus Jack is currently considered a derivative of Needlenose). Also, looks good, I like the idea of each word directing to something else. Keeps it condensed. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 13:20, 11 September 2018 (EDT)

My translation:

''Baby Mario is in its repeated, relentless pursuit. One stomp will stop it, and a Hip Drop hit will defeat it. A Red Coin is kept by a red Borodo as well.''

Later, in the section about its actual level, it is simply referred to as Borodo. (By the way, are you going to initiate the Huffin Puffin proposal, or shall I do it?) [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:48, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

Hmm, honestly, that sprite needs to be re-ripped entirely, imo.

Yes, I'm aware that the behavior differences are based on the chicks, not the parents.

== Merging and Moving ==

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but articles don't have to be moved immediately. With merging and splitting, you usually want to give some time for others to get their input; with the renamed Puchipuchi L article, "Milde (large)" was only a suggestion and no one else commented on which identifier would be preferred (if any) yet.

When naming titles for games, series, publications etc. remember to ''italicise'' them (i.e. the game title should be displayed as ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', not [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]).

Yes, the manual treats them as the same enemy. A rough translation: ''"If you spit them out after eating them, they roll and can defeat an enemy in one piece.

== Re:Needlenoses ==

I think I may have mentioned it elsewhere, but basically, all the guides refer to Needlenose as Sanbo. Spiked Fun Guy also goes under that name and is suggested to be the same thing in the description from the ''Super Mario Advance 3'' guide, which would technically merely make Spiked Fun Guy the enemy graphic and Needlenose the projectile graphic. The ''Yoshi's New Island'' guide doesn't have its own listing for Needlenose and gives one to the traditional Pokey instead, but other parts of the guide call Needlenose "Sanbo" when describing the projectile. The confusion with all these different forms of Sanbo in the ''Yoshi's Island'' games is probably what led to their replacement in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', Pokey Pom.

== Soliciting ==

I've noticed you done this a couple of times both on the wiki and on Discord, but asking users if they're going to vote on proposals or if they will support one you are going to make is against [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|courtesy]]:
<blockquote>
*'''solicit votes from other users.'''

Do not ask other users to vote for anything, period. While this is mainly directed at proposals, it applies to FAs, elections and any other voting that takes place on the Super Mario Wiki. Even if you don't explicitly ask your friends to support your cause (or to join you in opposing something), simply contacting them makes it look like you're fishing for votes in your favor. The only time you can draw someone's attention to a vote is when a proposal concerns a subject that is important to them. Far from an act of discourtesy, giving them a heads-up about some possible changes being made to that subject would be a very considerate thing to do. Furthermore, if the validity or rationale behind someone's vote is being questioned, you can contact the voter and ask them to check back in on the matter, which may result in them changing their vote.
</blockquote>
Just something to keep in mind. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:44, 5 December 2018 (EST)

== Proposals ==

If you're making the changes to a TPP, please remember to change [[MarioWiki:Proposals/TPP archive]] accordingly as well. The archive entry also still linked to the old talk page name (Talk:Rudy the Clown), which you marked for deletion.

Also, remember to check for double redirects (redirects to the old name) after moving a page and make sure they redirect to the new name. You do this by going to [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] (the "What links here" link under "tools" on the left navigation pane) with the old name in the text field and clicking "Hide links". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:49, 8 December 2018 (EST)

I do not agree with you on this, as this is an enemy that was initially treated as a color variation in Japan before being split over there.

:::Actually, Mister Wu already answered the questions on Bull's-Eye Bill [[User talk:Mister Wu/30th Anniversary Books Related Questions/Archive 1|here]].

Basically, the unique name was first given in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' in Japanese - though in English, it was still referred to as "Missile Bill" then and only got its new name by ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''. There's also the fact that the red ''Super Mario Advance 3'' Bullet Bills were in the same situation as they were in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (being listed under the same name just like Bouncing Bullet Bill prior). So it would be tricky to split Missile Bill and Bull's-Eye Bill, but I do think it would be easier to split ''Super Mario Sunshine'''s homing colors as derivatives because Purple Bullet Bill isn't the only one (I believe [[User:Time Turner|Time Turner]] has its English guides, so you can ask what they are called - "Blue Bullet Bill" and "Crazy Bullet Bill" are mentioned [[Bullet Bill#Super Mario Sunshine|here]] so maybe those are the proper names).

::::The behavior of the Purple Bill is certainly a callback to the flashing "Missile" Bills of SMB3, as the only difference in how they act is that the Purple is more persistent (not flying off in a straight line after so many U-turns). They are also more similar to them than the SM64 and SMG Bullet Bills, in that they ''do'' the U-turn thing, while the regular Bullet Bills in SM64 and SMG are constantly pointing themselves at the player. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 17:12, 24 January 2019 (EST)
:::::Yeah, I agree that the basic Purple Bullet Bill is most analogous to Missile Bill. Anyway, I wouldn't propose moving <i>Super Mario Bros. 3</i>'s Missile Bill because it would leave that and <i>Super Mario Advance 3</i>'s red Bullet Bill in an awkward spot for readers (not to mention the Bull's-Eye Bills of the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, which ''were'' still called Missile Bills).

Thanks for reporting them. But when reverting their edits, please do not converse with them in the edit summaries. Simply saying "reverting vandalism" or nothing at all is best. Basically, don't feed the trolls. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 09:51, 25 January 2019 (EST)

== Moving pages ==

Please review the notice at the top of the [[Special:MovePage/Swoopin' Stu|move page]], specifically: ''"Be sure to check for double or broken redirects. You are responsible for making sure that links continue to point where they are supposed to go."'' For the past few page moves you've done, you hadn't checked for double redirects in [[Special:WhatLinksHere]] for the old name, which there were for "Gooble". You were [[#Proposals|reminded once]] already for this, so you might not be let off lightly again if this keeps up.

It's also recommended you change the old links found in the articles listed on Special:WhatLinksHere to the new name when you can. (If the list is long, the old name is probably being used on a template that's used on a lot of articles. You can check that by selecting "Template" through the "Namespace" drop-down menu.) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:19, 26 January 2019 (EST)

==Re:Skeletal Lumacomète Worm==
I'll number my responses if you don't mind.

1) Regarding Skeletal Fish Guard: are you referring to [[Talk:Fish Bone#Comments|this]]? I didn't mean that the filenames were different between game versions - what I meant was that Nintendo often uses CamelCase in their filename structure, and when we must use them as article titles, we standardize it with proper spacing instead because that's what it usually implies (the only exception I can think of is the "<tt>JellyFish</tt>" in ''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat'', which we have as "Jellyfish" more naturally).

2) Regarding Lumacomète: the Comet Luma is, as best as I can tell, not in the Prima guide at all.

3) Regarding Muimui: the Prima guide generically refers to it as a "worm" on pages 35 and 172, so that might be where the article's previous title came from. If you want a more specific name, the internal filenames for its actual object suggest "Big Green Caterpillar" (<tt>GreenCaterpillarBigBody</tt>, <tt>GreenCaterpillarBigBodyLow</tt>, <tt>GreenCaterpillarBigFace</tt>, <tt>GreenCaterpillarBigFaceLow</tt>).

==Re:Yet other SM3DW internal filenames, Prima names, and SPP internal filenames==
#In ''Super Mario 3D World'', both Lava Bubble colors share the same filename: "<tt>Bubble</tt>" (its usual Japanese name). This is because the difference is aesthetic and determined by the type of lava, whereas they have different behavior in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' (where the blue one is "<tt>FireBubble</tt>" and the red one is "<tt>LavaBubble</tt>").
#As of yet, I've been unable to determine the internal filenames for ''Super Princess Peach'', though I suspect the reason I don't see Security Thwomp is because it's part of the level background and not a separate object. Note that stage objects tend to be named somewhat generically (for example, Bowser Villa's Ball 'N' Chain is "<tt>castle_tekkyu1_D08</tt>"). I'll update if and when I can comb through more thoroughly, but suffice to say it isn't "Fire Bubble" or "Mekakushi Teresa".
#On page 248: "''After Mario lands two hits on the Bonefin, the behemoth calls in reinforcements. Skeletal fish rise out of a hole in the seafloor and run interference, blocking shells and zeroing in on Mario like Bullet Bills. With each additional hit, more fish swim out of the hole to cloud the waters. The school of skeleton fish follows Mario doggedly through the water. To get rid of a fish, hit it with a shell.''" On page 249: "''After landing the fifth hit on Bonefin, the leviathan crumbles and all his skeletal minions disappear. The Power Star appears over the hole that the skeleton fish emerged from. Mario is still underwater, so make sure he has enough air to reach the Power Star. What could be worse than outlasting Bonefin only to run out of air inches away from the Power Star?''"
#They're just called "robots" in the Prima guide, and aren't mentioned at all in the ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' guide. The Sentry Beam mistake in ''Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia'' is due to a <s>Zack attack</s> translator copying from us from a period where we made the same mistake, similar to the Spiny Piranha Plant and Prickly Piranha Plant mix-up among others.
#Regarding Electric Pressure, it's described once on page 178 of the ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' guide: "''The cannons fire electric balls, so you must keep moving.''" As for the stack, it's grouped together generically with its species. For example, on page 71 of the ''Super Mario Galaxy'' guide: "''This makes the larger Mandibug angry—it turns red with fury and starts moving erratically.''"

== [[MarioWiki talk:Naming#Decide how to handle internal filenames: take 2|File]] ==

To clarify, what I meant is your proposal: the term "internal filename" is too specific, especially for the template option, and excludes certain examples such as [[Brickman]] and [[Ninji (toy)]], which technically come from internal ''data'' and not internal ''file''names. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 07:05, 21 February 2019 (EST)

== Internal template clarification ==

Perhaps I misread something. You [[User_talk:Porplemontage#Internal_filename_template_question|brought up the internal name template ideas to Porplemontage]], and he says to just do the "internal filename" '''if the proposal passes'''. He said you '''shouldn't cancel the proposal''', yet it seems [[Special:Diff/2608570|you did so anyway]] and immediately put the template into effect despite the current amount of support for not changing anything. Only one vote (yours) was for the internal filename template, and the template has been added to pages already.

Explain what happened here. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:38, 22 February 2019 (EST)
:You don't just cancel a proposal and put what you want into effect despite what the votes are saying, that completely defeats the point of a proposal. I never heard of a case of uncancelling a proposal, so I'll ask about that. But keep this in mind next time: Just because people aren't voting for what you want to happen doesn't mean you can just do it anyway. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:44, 22 February 2019 (EST)

== Spike Top ==

So do you think every [[Shy Guy]] color that normally act no different from each other whatsoever should be split because of ''Color Splash'', killing the concept of "organization" on here entirely? Because the way I see it, it's one or the other. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 12:51, March 26, 2019 (EDT)

== Spike Top ==

Your arguments on the Red Spike Top page are completely irrelevant. The first seems to be based off anger about the Yoshi color proposal. The remaining ones don't make sense, as Electro-Koopas and Lava/Fire Bubbles have ''completley different sizes, behaviors, and models'' between their types. Spike Tops and "Red Spike Tops" look, act, and stat ''exactly'' the same, minus a ''single'' texture being photoshop value-edited from blue to red. What you're advocating for implies you want the Shy Guy colorations split, which due to usually sharing behavior would be massively pointless and confusing.

== Keeping conversations on track ==

If someone asks a question on a talk page, if you don't have an answer, it'd be best to not derail it by "answering" in a way that doesn't have anything to do with what's being said. For instance, on the [[Fat Guy]] talk page, I asked what the context of the alleged usage of "Big Guy" in the Treehouse presentation was, and you came in and said what we ''would'' do if it is in the game, which, as you know fully well that I know the rules, is essentially a pointless Captain Obvious statement. This isn't the first time something like this has happened, but I would appreciate it if it were the last.
