Editing User talk:Grandet Omate

==Welcome, and [[User:Trig Jegman#Terminology|FNC]]==
Welcome to the Super Mario Wiki. Just to let you know, one of the images on [[User:Grandet Omate|your userpage]] titled '''ValiantComics-Toad.JPG''' has been moved to [[:File:ValiantComics-Toad.jpg]]. Simply change the capital JPG to jpg and press save changes to fix the image. Have fun! [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 16:07, July 17, 2019 (EDT)

== Userspace ==

{{userspace}}
Hello, I've noticed [[Special:Contributions/Grandet Omate|you've been making a large amount of edits to your userpage]]. Please try to focus on editing mainspace more. Thanks! {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 17:48, July 24, 2019 (EDT)

==Categories==
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
Please also note that simply removing {{tem|uncategorized}} will not suffice; categories should be added, like this: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario Bros. Images]]</nowiki></code>. Thanks! {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 01:21, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

{{warning|2=incorrectly categorizing files}}
You are still doing this. Files should be categorized like this: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario Maker 2 Images]]</nowiki></code>. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 01:37, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry, I didn’t see the message until now. I added the categories to all of the images that other people didn’t add to already. 
Hopefully I’ll remember this next time I upload. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 19:11, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

Bringing this up again because you forgot for your [[Special:Diff/2841659|last]] [[Special:Diff/2841660|two]] uploads. You were also missing [[Help:License|licenses]]; when you upload, you must select one (whether it's a game screenshot, DVD cover etc.) from the "Licensing" drop-down menu. Images are also not placed like [[Special:Diff/2841320|this]] on articles; [[Help:Image]] and [[Help:Gallery]] show you how to place them in thumbnails, frames or galleries. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:19, January 8, 2020 (EST)

It's been a while, but please remember the above. You should also be sure to give the files a proper name instead of a string of numbers and letters. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:18, May 25, 2020 (EDT)

You're forgetting to categorise images again. If the subject itself (like the ''Once Upon a Koopa'' DVD) doesn't have a category, it should use the most closely associated image category (Category:The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Images). Final reminder, please remember this or you may receive another warning. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:01, June 22, 2020 (EDT)

{{lastwarn}}
[[:File:BornToRideMain.jpg|You were just reminded about this.]] Don't upload without an image category.

You're also seem to be ignoring what I said in the summaries (including when I said the T-Rex image shouldn't be removed outright). I already said these are just thumbnails used by the channel; that doesn't make them "official", nor are they good images for the infobox (since like I also said, they were just random screenshots of the episodes they used for the thumbnails) when the infoboxes already have images that gives a good general idea of the episode's plot. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:38, June 22, 2020 (EDT)

Sorry for what I have done. I misunderstood you saying "They're just thumbnails from one of the broadcasters; the box isn't meant to use those, it's just meant to show a fitting image for the ep. If you're going to do one then you'd need to do the rest (a lot of these are just random stills of the eps anyway)" as "Even though they don't fit the purpose of the main image, it would be fine if all of the episodes' main images were like that." As for what Alex said, sometimes when I upload an image, it just spits out gibberish. I know that’s the default title whe you put nothing in, but I do put a descriptive title. It is completely random when this happens, and this has never happened before. I would change the name immediately after, but I do not know how to move articles. I have searched high and low for how, but have found nothing. I would contact someone else, but I am just too shy. As for the category part, that is entirely my fault. I tried to find if the SMBSS image category existed, but couldn’t find anything. This may have to do with images I was looking at being kind of old. I have absolutely no ill intent and hope to stay editing on this wiki. I am sorry for what I have done.  [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 01:59, June 23, 2020 (EDT)

Just realized I could find image categories at the top, but I didn’t think of looking here. 😞🤚 [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 02:01, June 23, 2020 (EDT)

== List of games ==

I don't want to get blocked for inappropriate behavior, but why did you remove those games? Human beings including myself worked hard to get that information on that list and then you remove it. Why? I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just asking. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:39, August 1, 2019 (EDT)

My impression was the list was to contain every Mario game where Mario or another Mario franchise character was a Main Character and didn’t have an equal role with MANY others. In games such as Minecraft and Skylanders: SuperChargers, Mario characters don’t appear in the game until you either buy the Mash-Up Pack or scan the Bowser or Donkey Kong Skylander figures respectively. In games like Punch Out, Mario series characters (DK) only make very small appearances, and we have a page for that: [[List of Mario references in Nintendo video games]]. Finally, all Game & Watch games without a Mario Character in the title have nothing to do with Mario until most (not all) got a modern version in the Game & Watch gallery series which contained Mario characters as the lead roles. The thing is, that’s it’s own game! The original Game & Watch games are different from Game & Watch Gallery, those are separate remasters with Mario characters. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 01:07, August 2, 2019 (EDT)

== Re: "Why would you source the name when it's used in game?" ==

It's likely an 'artifact' left over from previous editions of the page, especially if the game was a more recent release at the time, or else placed there by someone who isn't as well-versed in editing. You can probably just remove it without posing a likely-rhetorical question in such a manner - "Name is used in-game" is a much more succinct and less accusatory way of putting it. :V --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 12:23, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

Sorry if I sounded aggressive, I didn’t mean to. I am using “Name is used in-game" now like you suggested I should. Thanks. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 12:27, August 3, 2019 (EDT)
:Honestly, I think it's generally useful to have older references available when the names only show up in-game later (as opposed to in an accompanying product, which is when we ''do'' practice leaving references out). For example, having a ''Super Mario World'' reference for Jumping Piranha Plant conveys the clear idea that "okay, they used the proper name in other sources at the time so the in-game typo is clearly a mistake in that game's localization." It also prevents giving the reader false impressions like Ptooie Plant being Ptooie's name at the time of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' due to now being the only name reference left in the article. That, and it just makes it easier to keep track of when and where certain name changes occurred at a glance rather than having to dive into the article, helping to maintain it chronologically rather than having to resort to double-checking via the page history. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 22:09, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

:That's perfectly fine, thank you for elaborating. Actually makes sense explained that way. --{{User:Lord Grammaticus/sig}} 22:34, August 3, 2019 (EDT)

One more thing, regarding stuff like [[Special:Diff/2731279|this]] - on the flip side, I don't see any see any place where it says "in-game citations must be removed on sight" and in fact, is declared as an acceptable source given context in [[MarioWiki:Citations#Requesting a source|policy]] (note it also states that ''generally'' "references should ''never'' be removed"). While I'd say that unlockable content is obscure enough, there is another example taken from your own recent edits: you left the game text reference for "[[Special:Diff/2730626|Parabiddybud]]" intact, despite your logic otherwise seemingly suggesting that it should be scrubbed from the wiki, so you must be aware that leaving in-game references out is obfuscating in some cases. I have seen instances of someone slapping a <nowiki>{{ref needed}}</nowiki> on an article or even rewriting it because certain in-game references were not properly cited the first time, and while ''you'' may not make that mistake, the loss of this information is not how to prevent further instances. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:45, August 4, 2019 (EDT)
:Additionally, if you're still intent on doing that, be mindful of leaving around remnants haphazardly: [[Special:Diff/2732897#References|this]] is one recent example, but others had to be cleaned up. Also, be aware of [[Special:Diff/2734113|context]]. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 11:04, August 9, 2019 (EDT)

== Broken references ==

When you're removing references, make sure you remove any other ones that call (reuse) those references as well. i.e. After removing a reference that looks like <code><nowiki><ref name=Name>Source</ref></nowiki></code> you must remove the ones that use the same "ref name" too (<code><nowiki><ref name=Name/></nowiki></code>) (see [[MarioWiki:Citations#Multiple citations of the same source]]). Otherwise you're leaving broken references at the [[Special:Diff/2739057#References|bottom of the page]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:26, August 16, 2019 (EDT)

You did this again for ''Origami King''. Either remove all the unnecessary ones and re-sort the rest or leave them for someone else to do it, don't go halfway and leave broken references behind. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:28, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

They’re not broken I just removed them because the game's been out for over a month (at least for me) [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] 00:48, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

:Yes they are, check the cite errors at the bottom of the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:55, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

::I am removing them, but I do have to ask, what the hell are you talking about? There's no errors at the bottom. Is it because I’m on mobile? They work fine to me. Don't mean to be rude by the way. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] 01:00, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

:::It's your removing certain references that's causing the errors. They're gone now because I reverted the edit but they were visible on desktop and mobile. [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Paper_Mario:_The_Origami_King&oldid=3004679&mobileaction=toggle_view_mobile They're the bolded '''cite errors''' under the "References" header]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:08, August 18, 2020 (EDT)

==Profanity==
While you may of seen my response, to prevent incidents like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Mario_Sakuraba&diff=2740954&oldid=2693570 this] happening again, it is perfectly fine to swear in your edits, or anywhere else on the wiki, as long as it is not in heavy excess, or directed at other users. To quote [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]]: "''Swearing at other people is flaming and is unacceptable. The occasional use of profanity is allowed as long as it is not directed at another user, but it should generally be avoided. Similarly, if a user specifically requests that no profanity is used on their talk page, their wishes should be respected. You are free to use profanity in moderation in your own userspace, but if it is decided that you have overstepped the boundaries of good taste, you may be asked to tone it down.''". All three of those examples of ‎Mario Sakuraba swearing were perfectly acceptable. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 17:10, August 19, 2019 (EDT)

== [[Special:Diff/2767832|Snake jar]] ==

Just for clarity, what was the source for that edit? [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:30, September 27, 2019 (EDT)

== SMM2 Mii Outfit Sprites ==

Hey Grandet Omate,

I noticed that you uploaded the current photos for the Mii Outfits in Mario Maker 2. If you want, I have the sprites for all the outfits, but I don't have time to upload them all. Just tell me if you want me toggle them to you.

Thanks,
TDS

== Italics ==

Please remember that titles for games, TV shows etc. must be formatted in ''italics''. (Episode titles though don't need to be.) See [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style#Italicizing titles]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:43, January 25, 2020 (EST)

== On the topic of my recent edit and the subsequent removal: ==

I don't mean to be a bother, I really don't. But to prevent any kind of edit war, I simply need to ask about my edit to [[Mikhail S. Gorbachev]] being undone. I understand that the trivia I added has practically no relevance on a ''Mario'' wiki, but your reason for undoing such edit, and I quote, "He was a real person" doesn't make sense to me. I hope you understand. - [[User:AwdryFan1997|AwdryFan1997]]([[User talk:AwdryFan1997|Talk]])
:I got fed up and I restored my trivia. Please to not make this the beginning of some disgusting edit war. The entire reason I warned you was to prevent said edit warring. - [[User:AwdryFan1997]]
::I have since been enlightened to the fact that my citation was an unreliable source. If this was your reason, please, let me know. - [[User:AwdryFan1997|AwdryFan1997]]([[User talk:AwdryFan1997|Talk]])

== Moving pages ==

You should ''never'' be afraid to ask for help. You're not going to know without asking and no one's going to think negatively of you for doing so; it's how a lot of us (myself included) become more familiar with the wiki's functions. To move an article, you need to switch to desktop mode first (the "Desktop" link at the bottom of the page), then click the "move" tab at the top of the page. You should change the names on the article(s) after you've moved it so there's no confusion for readers.

Remember to also type <nowiki><references/></nowiki> when you add a references section. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:16, June 27, 2020 (EDT)

After you move a file, keep in mind that all links to the old file name (listed under "(file redirect)" under "File usage" on the current file page) should be changed to link to the new file name. After that, the old file name should be marked for deletion with {{tem|delete}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:21, June 27, 2020 (EDT)

Yes, please use the [[Special:WhatLinksHere|what links here]] tool when you move an article and change all the links to link to the current name. It's best to start with the templates and then work your way to any other pages (sometimes it takes a few moments to catch up). [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 20:47, July 24, 2020 (EDT)
:Just another informal reminder to please make sure you use the "what links here" tool to make sure all the links are current. It's normally up to you to do this after moving the page. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 19:25, July 25, 2020 (EDT)

== [[Special:Diff/2986313|Fire plants]] ==

There is an [[Talk:Piranha Plant#Fire-spitting Piranha Plants|open discussion]] regarding this, by the way, if you'd like to add your own input. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 22:05, July 23, 2020 (EDT)

== TAoSMB3 song names ==

Just going to say that the names I changed on the list of songs page are legit. They come from a music database under Michael Tavera's name. 

http://repertoire.bmi.com/Catalog.aspx?detail=writerid&page=1&fromrow=1&torow=25&keyid=338061&subid=0

Please consider changing it back. [[User:Luigiiscool21|Luigiiscool21]] - 22:58, July 23, 2020 (GMT)

== "Dinorsaur" ==

I don't think an easily editable YouTube description counts as a valid source. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:58, July 24, 2020 (EDT)

It's the official video description by WildBrain, the owner of DiC. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] ([[User talk:Grandet Omate|talk]]) 21:58, July 24, 2020 (EDT)

== [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double redirects]] ==

After you move a page, check to make sure any redirects to the old name are changed to link to the new name. On [[Special:WhatLinksHere]], you check that by clicking on "Hide links". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:58, July 25, 2020 (EDT)

== Disambiguation ==

If you're placing identifiers for both subjects, the based name without the identifier should be changed to a [[:Category:Disambiguation|disambiguation]] page.

You also missed double redirects as I reminded above. Please always check your talk page as soon as you receive a notification as it may be important. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:19, July 26, 2020 (EDT)

== Names in other languages ==

Remember to add a <nowiki>==Names in other languages==</nowiki> header when you're adding {{tem|foreign names}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:44, August 11, 2020 (EDT)

== ''Super Show'' episode titles ==

Just curious, what's the reason for some of your recent moves? The Netflix listing can be found [https://www.netflix.com/title/70212980 here] and it doesn't align with some of them. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 18:28, August 14, 2020 (EDT)

:::Sorry I was gone, I had to talk to someone. I don't really know the best source. Two of the Netflix episodes have eachother’s titles and descriptions, the SMW episodes by WildBrain have some weird descriptions ("toy bag became you bag", in Party Line there is mention of "Ma Bell", and in Rock TV there are two random quotation marks. The best source would probably be the DVDs/VHSs.

{{User:Shokora/sig}} 08:56, August 24, 2020 (EDT)
:The reason I removed those references was because usually if a name is used in-game, it doesn’t need a reference.

[[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]]  11:46, August 24, 2020 (EDT)

::No worries. The name is a bit more obscure than your average in-game enemy (the ''MKT'' name only shows up on the screen for a second when the player happens to destroy it), and one reference was even from a game guide.

Out of curiosity, can you play any other .oga files on the wiki? A few pages that have them are [[Slider]] and [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)]] if you want to test there. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 20:38, September 22, 2020 (EDT)
:I can play those just fine, as well as most other .oga files. It’s just several in particular that just don’t work at all. All MP3s work fine for me though. Maybe it’s because I’m on mobile? Even switching to desktop mode doesn’t fix it. [[User: Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] 20:45, September 22, 2020 (EDT)
::Hm, that's weird. Either way, I'd suggest avoiding removing .oga files from pages since you've had issues with both those and the Super Mario Compact Disco article. For future reference, if you find something broken on the wiki but it works fine for another user, then it's most likely an issue on your end rather than with the content itself and shouldn't be removed. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 20:48, September 22, 2020 (EDT)

Could you please provide a reason for why those pages were moved? When moving a page, you should at least fill in the "Reason" field to make clear why you're doing it, rather than simply moving a page without a word.

Please don't remove the links to the other fighters' moves entirely, they should instead be changed so that it goes to the move's section on each fighter's page. A redirect link is more helpful to readers than no link at all. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 22:14, November 24, 2020 (EST)

:A little down on [[DIC Entertainment|this article]], sorry. [[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] 15:40, November 28, 2020 (EDT)

That seems like a pretty weak source to be honest, you may want to take this to a proposal before changing it across the wiki. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 15:41, November 28, 2020 (EST)
:I'm not seeing anything that uses "Super Mario Bros." as a catch-all term that also includes ''Super Mario World''. I am seeing it, but I'm also seeing "The Super Mario Bros." and "Mario Bros.", and not in reference to the ''Super Mario World'' cartoon. If we missed something, please point it out before you continue to make changes. "Super Mario Bros." also doesn't make sense with ''Super Mario World'' as it's not part of the title, "DIC cartoons" is more accurate regardless. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:55, November 28, 2020 (EST)

== Point of Advice ==

Assuming that you'll come back to this wiki after your block expires, I've got a tip for you. I've noticed you've been relying on sources outside of DiC Entertainment for information relating to the ''Super Mario Bros. Super Show''. While WildBrain is the legal owner of DiC, it's blatantly obvious from some of their other work that they're a bunch of underpaid nine-to-five desk-workers who have no understanding of the actual media and are just throwing together titles and descriptions that would grab the attention of young children who would watch the videos, giving the company ad revenue (money is the only thing that matters in a capitalist society). I'd recommend avoiding info from WildBrain and focus directly on contemporary sources from DiC themselves (namely, the episodes which we're actually covering). I hope this is helpful. - [[User:AwdryFan1997|AwdryFan1997]] ([[User talk:AwdryFan1997|talk]]) 13:25, December 16, 2020 (EST)

== About Block! ==

Dear admins,

So let me explain myself. The reason I did all that was because the user was not providing enough physical evidence in wording. First, they mentioned it was on "Discord," which I read on the news was an extremely dangerous website for bad people, then he explained that it was on "MKT News page’" which does not exist (as far I searched up and have heard about). Please let me back I do not want to sound like I'm begging, but I was just doing the right thing in my position (in my honest opinion). Please respond, this is urgent, although I doubt anyone will because almost nobody ever responds to me on here. I also know that I am supposed to e-mail an admin, but my current e-mail will not let me, so this is my only choice

[[User:Grandet Omate|Grandet Omate]] 6:13, January 12, 2021 (EDT)

:Then the correct course of action was to ''ask'' the user for clarification, not repeatedly remove the edit and calling it out as "speculation", even after the user mentioned otherwise twice. Numerous times you've been told this. Removing something that was blatantly false would have been understandable, but doing that for something that had considerable validity to it (especially from a user who has made mostly trustworthy edits) and could have been resolved simply by asking them is not acceptable. Post a message, they let you know, and the page is left without further needless back-and-forth edit reverting. The 2nd-week spotlight drivers were featured on the tour splash screen and the trailer (also displayed on the news page, which is found in the game's menus), which has always been the case for past tours. Regarding Discord, that's an instant messaging platform; how dangerous it is all depends on the types of servers you partake in and people you choose to communicate with. That's still not a reason to remove the edit. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:53, January 13, 2021 (EST)
::You don't understand about this. I have a mental issue which makes it really hard to talk to people not in person. And when I did ask on this wiki, most times people didn’t answer. It's like nobody cares about me on here. And when people are rude to me, others say that I'm just making that up...

:Quit self-pitying over this. Whether you have difficulty talking to others or not, that doesn't excuse the fact that edit-warring without even trying to discuss with others first is a [[MarioWiki:Warning policy#Level two offenses|level two offense]]. Sometimes when you go to discuss with people, they may be offline for quite a while, so you just need to give them time, even if it will take hours or even over a day. {{User:Keyblade Master/sig}}

== Regarding your editing experience ==
Hello, and welcome back! I just saw your message directly above and, since it’s quite ominous, I’m curious how you’ve been holding out these past few months.

I know that editing can become a frustrating endeavour when you feel you can’t quite get the grasp of it despite being one of the few things that bring you joy. I hope that you are able to start fresh and listen to what people here tell you. Remember, when in doubt, talk to others! Ask for advice or opinions! All it takes is a question as simple as “Is this okay?” or a variation thereof; you don’t need to start or engage in complex discussion if you’re not socially comfortable. I wish you success. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 08:42, April 13, 2021 (EDT)

== Some thoughts on your recent activities ==

I believe AwdryFan1997 had told you about this, but relying on outside sources from DiC Entertainment, such as relying on Apple TV closed captions, is not recommended. It would seem as if you are relying on companies that have little to no involvement in the creation of the Mario cartoons, and as of result including information that doesn't really make all that much sense. This include your recent edits with the Apple TV closed captions, because as Alex95 said it varies from companies to companies, in addition to the fact that they're just captions made for accessibility and not meant to replace the actual script.

I understand your commitment to assure that those Mario cartoon-related pages are up-to-date with recent sources, but you should stick with the source material and sources from DiC Entertainment themselves, rather than companies like Apple TV or WildBrain (who own the cartoons as of now) who have no involvement with the original cartoons whatsoever. Thank you, and happy editing! {{User:PanchamBro/sig}} 13:53, April 13, 2021 (EDT)

:WildBrain [[Talk:Winterland#"Mushroom Woods"|has been suspected]] of lifting conjectural names from this wiki and using them in their synopses for Mario cartoon episodes. If we use them as a source, we risk essentially reporting our own fan-made constructs, which is not allowed. The practice that WildBrain employed here would be similar to what the English translation of the [[Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia]] did, on grounds of which we have ruled it out entirely as a valid source for enemy and character names through a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 52#Citing the Super Mario Encyclopedia|proposal]]. Since WildBrain do indeed hold a chunk of rights for the DIC Mario cartoons, we would normally greenlight information that comes from them, but given our current suspicions it's best if we run a discussion or a proposal about it first. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:08, April 13, 2021 (EDT)
