==Comment on [[Manky Kong]] Article==
I wouldn't add speculation into articles, it's unprofessional and you could end up with a warning if this kind of behavior continues. {{User:Epic Rosalina/sig}} 14:44, 25 February 2014 (EST)
:What specific speculation are you referring to? --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 14:48, 25 February 2014 (EST)

::Please don't do stuff like this: http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Manky_Kong&curid=16503&diff=1633206&oldid=1615607. It's rather offensive to some people. {{User:Epic Rosalina/sig}} 16:16, 25 February 2014 (EST)

:::I definitely support correcting the sort of inane shit statement like the one linked to above, but "repair, don't respond" is definitely a principle that applies to the wiki. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 20:38, 25 February 2014 (EST)
::::Yes, I was poking fun at the sentence which I thought was thoughtless. I agree I should have just corrected it properly rather than having the article "comment on itself". --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 11:49, 26 February 2014 (EST)

=="Beta" pages==
Speaking of which, you're looking to improve the beta pages? Cool! I went on an one man(child) crusade a bit over a year ago to organise the pages into the "Early ideas/builds/Unused content/misc" structure that's used now, but I haven't had as much time as I'd like to to throughously rewrite and source non-ridiculous claims. Do you feel the beta ___ namespace has any particularly galling issues beside writing and sourcing? --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 20:38, 25 February 2014 (EST)
:I think the name "beta" is ridiculous, since betas rarely have cut content. I'm currently making a prerelease article for [http://www.TCRF.net TCRF.net] (The Cutting Room Floor: a wiki about unused, debug, prerelease (cut) content and version differences (including prototypes). But I am perfectly happy to contribute here as well in some way. If you want some idea of how I think "beta" articles should be done, you might want to look at TCRFs (in my opinion, great) guidelines ([http://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Rules_%26_Guidelines here] and [http://tcrf.net/Help:Contents/Prerelease_Rules_%26_Guidelines here]). You may also want to look at some [http://tcrf.net/Category:Super_Mario_Bros._series articles]. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 11:49, 26 February 2014 (EST)

::I kinda dislike the "beta" name myself, but while there has been some periodic grumbling to get it changed, it hasn't gained much traction since no one's been able to provide a name that encasuplates all the info (rejected production ideas/games that switched platform or changed radically throughout development/prerelease stuff/unused content still on the media... etc) without being vague or clunky as hell to use. That, and "beta" has inadvertently a sort of shorthand for "early" stuff among a fair number of Mario fan communities. The name's kinda grandfathered in at this point, which isn't the most ideal arrangement, but well. That being said, using "beta" as a shorthand for "stuff that changed during development" [[Mariowiki:Good Writing#Frequently misused terms|is discouraged]], so feel free to edit out any instance of the word you see on articles.

::I love TCRF (and had to clean more than one instance of plagiarism of it from this wiki, lol)! I'm reasonably satisfied with our current header structure, but I'm still undecided about how the information should be organized within the headers, so I might just take some inspiration from TCRF's method.

::Also, just as an head-up, editing message by other users (which you kind of did by splitting my previous verbiage into two headers) in the Talk: and MarioWiki: namespaces is sorta frowned upon, even if it's minor alterations like correcting links or fixing typos. I absolutely don't mind having my messages edited like this, but other wiki users may, so I'm telling you this to avoid potential headaches down the line. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 12:45, 26 February 2014 (EST)

Considering the content of the above section, I figured [http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Proposals#Ban_the_term_beta.2A_and_rename_pages_in_the_Beta_namespace this] might be of interest to you. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 10:31, 9 June 2015 (EDT)
:fyi, the drive to rename all the beta paegs is [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=34982.msg1733164#msg1733164 officially launched]. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 22:00, 19 June 2015 (EDT)

==Re: Source==
I don't remember that nor am I contributing to the wiki anymore. There is a possibility it's from the E3 2011 press website, which is now down (this used to be the url: [http://press.nintendo.com/E32011/]) {{User:SWFlash/Sig}}
:Thanks for the link. Too bad it's offline, do you happen to have a local folder of anything you haven't uploaded to MarioWiki? --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 13:55, 6 July 2014 (EDT)

If this is of any help, the French website Gamekult has [http://www.gamekult.com/jeux/images-paper-mario-sticker-star-J104278i.html?p=7 all press release screenshots] of Sticker Star listed by chronological order (7 = oldest press kits, 1 = newest), including the image you linked to on SWFlash' talk. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 15:10, 6 July 2014 (EDT)
:Thanks! French websites seem to be more organised than many english ones! But I'm really looking for lossless PNGs of them, but this website is useful in getting the order right. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 04:08, 7 July 2014 (EDT)

== Moving files ==

Hi. When moving files please remember to update the file name on pages where it is used, as well as tagging the redirect for deletion. {{User|Yoshi876}}
:Sorry, for some reason I thought that redirects worked with links. I will do that from now on. --[[User:Hiccup|Hiccup]] ([[User talk:Hiccup|talk]]) 05:19, 4 August 2014 (EDT)
::Just a small heads up, you forgot to do it again yesterday. {{User|Yoshi876}}

== Re: Press Kits ==

i have a handful on my computer, but i can't get any direct links to ones on the main press site since, afaik, they removed the guest login. do you want me to upload them somewhere? - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 18:14, 3 March 2015 (EST)

:[https://www.mediafire.com/folder/8se1pn768cg8k/press_kits here's all the mario-related ones] - also, i'm pretty sure you can still get into the e3 press websites with some combination of E3<year> and Nintendo, you may want to look into that more - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 23:19, 4 March 2015 (EST)

::i'm afraid i don't, the oldest ones are from 2012 (i uploaded them along with the rest). sorry about that - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 21:20, 9 March 2015 (EDT)

== Re: Prima ==

That was bugging me for a while. They're certainly oddities, aren't they? They don't quite match up with the in-game models, but they're quite polygonal for artwork. The images all came from the site, so I can provide you with direct URLs to the images, since only the actual pages are blocked by the paywall ([http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Goomba_opt.jpeg Goomba], [http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Goomba%20Tower_opt.jpeg Goomba Tower], and [http://www.primagames.com/media/files/eguide_assets/new-super-mario-bros-2-eguide/-001_037_NSMB2_fm010203-web-resources/image/Paragoomba_opt.jpeg Paragoomba] to start off), but considering the whole paywall thing, you wouldn't be able to access the HTML. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

==Names==

FYI, if you're interested in sourcing names, there's [http://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=33500.0 a forum project about this]. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 15:44, 13 June 2015 (EDT)
:fyi, when you add a print reference (manual or guide), you need to add the page number. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 23:55, 15 June 2015 (EDT)

== Going to Best Buy from 7-8 PM, pacific time. ==

Problem is: I have no idea how to take footage. If you could show me before I go, I'd be thankful.[[File:Toad-brigade model CTTT.png|35px|]][[User:toadbrigade5|<font color=red><big>'''Toad'''</big></font>]][[User talk:toadbrigade5| <small>and his</small><font color=grey> '''brigade!'''</font>]][[File:Toadette model CTTT.png|35px]] 15:53, 17 June 2015 (EDT)

== Bear ==

Just a question: why did you move [[Bear (enemy)|Bear]] to its Japanese name while claiming that the English name wasn't sourced? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}

== Hey Hiccup, as for the Best Buy Demo... ==

Well, let's just say I wasn't allowed to experiment with level creation, just playing through levels. But I can report that a few new things did indeed arrise. I haven't seen any how certain enemy variations are created, but I'll do my best at the moment to fill stuff in.

== Red Coin Ring ==

Since I see that the name Red Ring miss a source for it's name and since we have a source for the name Red Coin Ring, maybe you should move Red Ring page to Red Coin Ring since the later mostly be the official name because of the source.--{{User:LudwigVon/sig}}  13:50, 24 June 2015 (EDT)
