Hi, you've reached my talk page. If I don’t respond to a message immediately, it probably means I’m busy editing the awesome wiki you are currently looking at (LONG LIVE MARIOWIKI AND ITS USERS). I don’t have a proper e-mail account yet, so you can’t really reach me on the forums if your message is really important (sorry D:).
 
If you don't mind, I'd prefer that you did not use vulgar language, but feel free to sign with your own signature (I love how creative some of them are.) :D

You completed my project in "List of microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y." without asking or checking me at all. This is some kind of rude, so please don't do it again. I know it was a month before last edit, but I was in school and I wrote on my userpage that this is my project.

== Re:Gallery standard  ==
== Re:Gallery standard  ==


So, you want to make a Writing Guideline Proposal and a new policy page for galleries ([[MarioWiki:Galleries]], I presume)? Sounds like a great idea! Your draft looks pretty good so far, although I'd suggest using <nowiki><quoteblock> for the examples, as the indented-blue-outlined-box thing can cause issues for older computers. Also, maybe keep the subsection stuff separate from the main examples, and dedicate one whole paragraph to how things like how some overall sections can be given subsections when appropriate, and how their order doesn't matter except for "misc" subsections going at the bottom. Another thing to add to the formatting is that <i></i> can be placed outside the <gallery></gallery> tags to italicize all the captions at once (obviously, this can only be done if all the text are titles: if there's other writing in there, it needs the individual, manual italicizing); similarly it might be good to emphasize the fact that <center></center> only need to go on the outsides of the <gallery></gallery></nowiki> tags, as they'll center everything, including the captions). Finally, since the examples cover the order, you don't need that last bullet: just make an overall "sections" header to group the examples and the subsections/misc paragraph, like how all the fiddly formatting has a section. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 19:07, 8 June 2013 (EDT)

:For openings, I sometimes look for similar pages and do what they do. But I think the line you have now would be perfectly fine - just don't call 'em "sub-pages", because they're technically ''not'' subpages. However, if you want to expand on the "have enough images relating to them on the wiki" bit, you could say something like "''Galleries are special pages given to subjects that are featured in enough images to warrant a dedicated, structured viewing area. If all the images can be included in the subject's main page without creating an excessively long gallery section, a separate page is unnecessary. This policy page outlines standards that must be followed when creating a gallery sub-page. ''" Either way, trying to come up with a number as the cutoff wouldn't be a good idea, as folks could try to enforce the policy to the letter, even in situations where you have lots of images but shouldn't have a gallery. (For example, if there's tonnes of screenshots, but nothing else, they can be incorporated into articles and housed in gallery sections quite easily - that's why I mentioned "structured", as it's the division into artwork/sprites/screenshots/other that really makes the galleries work.) Finally, rather than subsections, perhaps use ";" to bold the "For Subject/Game/Misc Galleries" lines: it'll make the page flow better. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 12:58, 10 June 2013 (EDT)
::You're welcome! I'm happy to help! And don't worry: I take ''forever'' with all my policy projects, and have kept poor users waiting weeks and weeks for me to follow through at times, so I'm the last one anyone ever needs to apologize to for less-than-lightning-fast replies. Now, if I may make two final suggestions... You probably don't need the "found at the bottom of the gallery" parts of the "(Including misc. artwork ...)" tips, as that might confuse readers (and after the gallery's updated, the art ''won't'' be at the bottom anymore). Also, another quoteblock for the <nowiki><i> point might be a good idea - one just like the <caption></nowiki> point. But with or without those last suggestions, the draft looks excellent, and I look forward to supporting your proposal. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 11:30, 19 June 2013 (EDT)
:::Incorporating LGM's proposal is a great idea. And, since her proposal has a regular one-week deadline while yours will be a Writing Guideline proposal with two weeks, you don't have to worry about waiting until hers is finished to launch your proposal (once the draft is finished, of course), as in that extra week, you would still be able to alter your draft in the off-chance her proposal fails (which is shouldn't - it's a good idea and upholds current policy). I think the passage about screenshots you drafted on LGM's talk page would be a good addition to the draft (I'm glad it mentions that not ''all'' screenshots have to be included), and the subsection organization method she suggested here is good too, although I'd substitute "Animation" for "TV Shows" as that will cover the cartoons ''and'' the anime films all in one. Also, I mentioned in a comment on her proposal that I think print media should also have a place on galleries; if you agree, perhaps a section entitled "Scans" could be included under "Screenshots" and be used for scans of comics, game manuals, and other print publications. Finally, just so you know, you don't need the intermediate "==Policy==" header on the draft: all your Lv. 3 Headers would be perfectly fin as Lv. 2 Headers. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 14:47, 21 June 2013 (EDT)
::::Looks great. During my latest read-though, I noticed two more little details you might wanna tweak: "Game Installments" might not be the best example subheader anymore (I dunno what it'd even be used for once everything gets properly organized), and around the wiki, it's general established that double quotation marks are used instead of single ones (for consistency). Those details aside, it looks ready to go! - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 18:00, 22 June 2013 (EDT)
:::::Well, except the quotation marks in the Subsections section, but otherwise, it's perfect. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 21:46, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
::::::As in clips from something like [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHpj0XWXezY this] or [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_q-cWJJ9OVM&t=0m16s this]? Yeah, that'd totally fit in the animation screenshots section. It wouldn't even need a separate subsection from the shows: just let the captions explain. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 00:51, 27 June 2013 (EDT)
 
== Your question. My reply. ==
 
I don't think it matters when you create the proposal. You should, however, note the changes I'm proposing in your draft, so that depends if my proposal passes. If it passes, you can simply change your draft to accommodate this. Again, it doesn't matter much. What I'm proposing isn't going to significantly alter the aim of your proposal. After all, I want to add just a few sections, which is probably a subsection in the screenshots. I don't know if there is artwork pertaining to non-game media, but again, that's a subsection. All you'll have to do is apply the changes you see fit.
 
It is a good idea just to wait and see the state in the proposal. If there are, say, fourteen supports and no opposes, it's a good idea to start adding sections.
 
Anyway, what I like to see in my proposal is this layout:
 
==Screenshots==
===Video games===
<i><gallery>
File:EveryoneDKAC.png|{{fake link|Some Fat Guy Jumping Over Barrels Game}}
File:DonkeyKong BrinstarDepths.png|{{fake link|Donkey Kong Prison II}}
File:SuperMarioStrikers Donkey'sElectricFence.png|Donkey Kong Prison II
File:Donkey PlusEight TT.png|{{fake link|Mushroom Kingdom Golf}}
</gallery></i>
 
===TV shows===

</gallery></i>
 
Something like that. If you can think of something better, that's great!<br> {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 21:45, 20 June 2013 (EDT)
 
:Thanks for the help! :) I highly appreciate the suggestions and questions you made to me. I'm also glad you find this to be a great idea, and that you're going to find a way to incorporate my suggestions into this. Again, thanks for the support. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 00:17, 21 June 2013 (EDT)
::Again, thank you so much. I'm glad I sold you with my image captions. :) This idea has been sitting on my head for a while, but it's only now that I decided to bring it up. :P <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 14:50, 22 June 2013 (EDT)
LOL, yeah, I want to do that. Just let me know what galleries you will work on, and I'll do the others.<br>Also, for giving me a Wario, you will get an official Wario of the day. [[File:MP9 Wario Character Select Sprite 2.png|52px]]
 
This will be on your permanent record on the Wario behavior, so umm, it stays in your talk page until Wario is seriously considered the most attractive man in the Marioverse.<br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 22:27, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
:Oh, wait, I forgot one more thing: what about commercials showing our beloved Mario characters flying across the screen and slamming into a freeway overhang? [[File:Wario Super Strikers Tournament.png|23px]] I mean, specifically, the ones that actually show the Mario characters, not people doing things related to the Mario games. Where would those go, if you accept those? {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 22:36, 23 June 2013 (EDT)
::Okay, so when is it a good idea to start adding pictures to galleries? [[File:WarioIcon-MSM.png|26px]] After you make that Writing Guidelines proposal? Or as soon as possible? <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 22:52, 27 June 2013 (EDT)
LOL, thanks for the compliment (good users in general don't get enough compliments)! [[File:WarioHoops.png|26px]] There's a good deal of commercials, though, which makes me wonder if I'm oversaturating the page. Well, I guess, because there are way more animated commercials than animated movies and shows. That's a shame, because Mario has such great potential for good shows. LOL, I guess most of the images I put up are indeed silly (that large grinning one, though...). I'll get more images there. <br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 00:49, 28 June 2013 (EDT)
:You're welcome! [[File:WarioUtusu.png|26px]] I'm sure Luigi has appeared in a few notable commercials, but I can't think of any... one of them is the Superstar Saga one, and you can find images of it in the [[Gallery:Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga|gallery of the game]]. Luigi has also appeared in the Japanese commercial for Mario Party 3 (as part of a drape thingy). I'm not sure where else, but I'll find some Luigis while I'm looking at commercials with [[Gallery:Mario|my favorite character in them]].[[File:Wariow Party 6 Title.png|26px]]<br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 12:39, 29 June 2013 (EDT)
