== Warp Cannon ==

The reason that your edit on Warp Cannon is getting removed is that the order you wrote only applies to is ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', as in NSMB, 1 and 2 lead to 5, 3 leads to 6, 4 leads to 7, and 5 leads to 8. In NSMB2, 1 leads to Mushroom (which is World 7, as you need to match the numbers at 77 to get the Rainbow level), 3 and Mushroom lead to Flower (which is World 8), and Flower leads to World 6. As all three of them are different, there isn't really a "general order" to add to the article. Also, it is unnecessary to have "File:" in front of the images in the gallery. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 19:41, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

== Edit Warring ==

{{warning|2=edit warring}}
Repeatedly undoing an edit, even if it's to converse with the other guy, is considered edit warring. Before going any further with the [[Warp Cannon]] page, please talk to {{User|TheFlameChomp}} to decide the correct course of action. By the time I've typed out this message, he has already sent something to you, but policy states I should say something anyway. Sorry.

On that note, since I made the first edit that caused this, I'll throw in what I think and say the Warp Cannon does differ between games:
===NSMB===
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 -> 6, 4 -> 7, 5 -> 8

===NSMBWii===
1 & 2 -> 5, 3 & 4 -> 6, 6 -> 8

===NSMB2===
1 -> Mushroom (which is 7), 3 & Mushroom -> Flower (8), Flower -> 6 (strangely going backwards)

{{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:45, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Yeah, sorry about that, man. I wasn't trying to be an asshole. I was just trying to talk. And yeah, my bad. The Warp Cannon ''does'' differ between games, now that you made it clear. I won't do it again. And by the way, where's the message he sent me?
:Don't worry, this is just a note to remind you what to avoid next time. The message TheFlameChomp sent you is [[#Warp Cannon|directly above this one]]. As for your message on my talk page, no, you cannot remove warnings, or any kind of comments really (unless they are vandalism), especially ones given to you by a staff member. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:13, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

== Userpage stuff ==

Just an FYI, when you're copying userboxes from another user page (in this case, mine), try to not be so, uh, apparent about it. Like the scrollbox data I have (that long box surrounding the userboxes), I have that because otherwise the userbox would push everything downward. You can use it if you can get the coding to work, but it doesn't appear like you need it (it's screwing with the tabs, btw). Additionally, the link in the YouTube box goes to my channel, so you may want to delete that. And keep in mind that some users have personal images in their userboxes, so you may want to ask them if you decided to take it.

Also, if you want to check how the page looks without actually saving the page, hit the "Show preview" button at the bottom. This way the number of edits are reduced and it doesn't fill the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:51, 23 June 2017 (EDT)

Just asking, but were you patrolling me? But yeah, I just wanted to create a scrollbox so I could show everybody the basic information, like favorite game, favorite character, etc. When I saw the coding for it, though, I didn't know if I was able to type it all myself. So sorry if that was rude in any way. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 21:56, 23 June 2017 (CDT)
:Nah, I just keep an eye on the Recent Changes all the time. I see pretty much everything :P
:For the scrollbox, remove the coding you have before and after the userboxes and put this coding above the userboxes (without the nowiki coding):
<tt><nowiki>
{| style="float: right; margin-left: 0em; margin-bottom: 0ex; width: 19%; border: 2px solid black; clear: right; background-color: #F6D5BE;"
|<div style="height:850px; overflow:auto;">
{|
</nowiki></tt>
:and put this at the end:
<tt><nowiki>
</div>
|}
|}
</nowiki></tt>
:Truth be told, I stole the coding from {{User|Shokora}}'s page, then modified it to fit how I needed it too. Took me a while to figure out, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:01, 23 June 2017 (EDT)
::Walkazo was a bureaucrat of the Super Mario Wiki since 2011, and she was a hard worker and a great friend to those that knew her. In March of 2016, she was killed in a car accident. I did not know her that well myself, I've only talked to her once or twice, but I was there the day her brother delivered the news. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:03, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
::Yeah, sure, go ahead an add my userbox to your page if you want, and I'll take your (rather familiar) userbox as well :) Also, add an extra <nowiki></div></nowiki> at the end of the userbox tower before the end <nowiki>|}</nowiki>s, as it appears to be messing with the page coding. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:38, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
::Also, you've been spending a lot of time on your user page. I know you're just trying to get it set up, but do try to edit some mainspace articles as well. Additionally (I don't know if I mentioned this to you already, probably have, I can't keep track), if you want to check how the page looks without saving, click the "Show preview" button. This way, you can make multiple edits and save it in one go, while avoiding filling up the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:50, 24 June 2017 (EDT)
:::Okay, uuhh... try to avoid adding things like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_3D_World&diff=next&oldid=2229453 this] and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser_Jr.&curid=1609&diff=2229459&oldid=2229458 info about the fanbase]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:14, 25 June 2017 (EDT)

Dammit. My bad. I was hoping I could put some useful information in articles. I guess that means thinking before you do it (DUH, me!). {{User:Skuchi037/sig}} 23:24, 24 June 2017 (CDT)

:To make a gallery, you would type this:
<gallery>

Example.png|Descriptive text
</gallery>
:View the source to see the code, as I can't get the raw code to show, for some reason. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:38, 25 June 2017 (EDT)
''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' is an expansion of the main game, as such it's considered part of that. That's my best answer, I don't know much about it.<br>
Also, I will take this time to say that you've been editing your userpage a ''lot''. The important focus of the wiki is the content of the main articles. Userspace should come second, though I understand if it takes some time to make some quality edits. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:21, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

== Italics ==

Hello! Just so you know, when writing game titles, you should italicize them by putting two apostrophes on both sides. For example, <code><nowiki>''Super Mario Sunshine''</nowiki></code> would appear as ''Super Mario Sunshine''. Thanks! --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 21:25, 29 June 2017 (EDT)

== Setting up your signature ==

I saw you request help on Porplemontage's talk page about this, and I have an answer for you:
#Go to [[Special:Preferences|your preferences page]].
#In the "Signature" section of the "User profile" tab, type in the markup for your signature. If you want to use a template signature, you '''''must''''' type something like <code><nowiki>{{subst:nosubst|User:Skuchi037/sig}}</nowiki></code>.
#'''''<ins>DO NOT FORGET</ins>''''' to check the box that reads "Treat the above as wiki markup".
#At the bottom, click Save, and you're done!
*One last thing: your signature '''''must''''' include links to your userpage and your user talk page.

Hopefully that helps you. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:25, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

Thanks. That does help a lot. {{User:Skuchi037/sig}}
:Just take a look at [[User:Alex95/sig]]. All it is are two images linking to my user pages. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:55, 30 June 2017 (EDT)

== Userspace warning ==

{{userspace|2=making excessive userspace edits}}
I've checked your recent contributions and most of your edits have been on touching up your user page and talk pages. Try to find some time to edit some of the mainspace pages a bit more. If you don't do so, you might be given a harsher warning. Thanks! &ndash; [[User:Owencrazyboy9|Owencrazyboy9]] ([[User talk:Owencrazyboy9|talk]]) 00:02, 2 July 2017 (EDT)

Sorry about that. I will try not to overload again. &ndash; [[User:Skuchi037|Skuchi037]] ([[User talk:Skuchi037|talk]]) 23:22, 1 July 2017 (CDT)
:The reason for this is you having 186 edits on user pages, 73 on the main pages, 33 on user talk pages, 3 on MarioWiki, and 1 on main talk. It is a good idea to keep main+maintalk more than user+usertalk. Also, you may want to press the '''Show preview'' button so you can see the page without saving. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 21:35, 8 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: Humor for the WIN! ==

Why, thank you!<br>{{User:Luigi 64DD/sig}} 14:58, 5 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Big Boo's Haunt Edits ==

Due to a translation error in the English version of ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', [[King Boo]] is called Big Boo. Since this is an English wiki, that's what we go off of for his role in ''SM64DS''. There is a note of the differences on King Boo's actual page, though. For [[Yoshi]], no, he cannot enter [[Big Boo's Haunt]] at all, since no cap can be collected in [[Princess Peach's Castle]]. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:37, 6 July 2017 (EDT)
:No, the point is Yoshi can't get into the course to begin with. The entrance to Big Boo's Haunt is within a Big Boo in Peach's courtyard, which needs to be defeated. Since Yoshi can't damage Boos, he can't enter the course. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:11, 7 July 2017 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|2=forgetting to use italics}}
([https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Bowser&diff=prev&oldid=2236008 The] [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Green_Energy_Plant&diff=prev&oldid=2236585 edits] in question) You've been [[#Italics|reminded]] about ''italics'' once before; it's an important editing guideline, so please remember next time. Thanks. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:55, 10 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: Vandalism FAQ ==

Depends. If a user joins just for the sole purpose of vandalising, they are blocked immediately. If a regular user who's made constructive contributions in the past starts vandalising, they'll receive a warning, then, if it continues, a block. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:03, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

== FAQ Questions ==

I noticed that you are asking [[User:Mario jc|Mario jc]] about some stuff on the wiki. Let me show you [[MarioWiki:FAQ|this]]. Be sure to read it and see if you have a question already answered there before you ask on someone's talk page. Even then, you are suppose to ask on it's [[MarioWiki talk:FAQ|talk page]]. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:28, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

:Yeah, I was actually about to direct you to that link, too. Thanks, Yoshi the SSM. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:32, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
::You're welcome (to both of you). {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 22:34, 12 July 2017 (EDT)

== Fawful ==

I will bluntly tell you that there is a lot more to autism than "being smart" and "having social problems". Unless you have a clear-cut and official citation that demonstrates that Fawful is diagnosed with autism, do not include it on his article. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:35, 12 July 2017 (EDT)
:Despite being on the autism spectrum myself, I have a lot of friends and am (somewhat) sociable and talkative, but at the same time, don't see myself as all that smart. There are different levels of autism, like not being able to speak at all or diminished senses, and making an accusation about it toward how a character acts without an official source can possibly offend someone. Be careful when writing things like that. 

:Additionally, do not repeatedly undo edits to converse with other users, as that is what's known as "edit warring" (i.e., undo someone else's edit after they undid yours on the same page). If you wish to have a discussion, please do so on someone's talk page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:22, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

{{lastwarn}}
I'm actually going to give you a warning for this (to serve as a reminder not to do this again, and as per warning policy) as you edit warred on [[Luigi's Mansion (course)|three]] [[Midbus|different]] [[Fawful|pages]](!) before continuing the discussion elsewhere. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:41, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:[[MarioWiki:Maintenance]] is a good place to start. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:40, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
::I read this last night, and now that I am able to write on my computer (yes I have been here for some time, but I forgot until now), I am able to post this from a paper that I wrote for college. It says, "Autism is a disorder that effects mental thinking and communication in young children, though it is carried throughout life." And later on, "Symptoms are "trouble interacting, playing with, or relating to others, having little or brief eye contact with others, not pointing to objects to call attention to them, unusual or repetitive movements, such as hand flapping, spinning, or tapping, delays in developmental milestones or loss of milestones already achieved, playing with a toy in a way that seems odd or repetitive, not using or understanding language as a child that age typically would, and not exploring surroundings with curiosity or interest (a child seeming to be in his or her "own world")" (KidsHealth)." KidsHealth is a website. Since many of these are for children, it would be very difficult to place Fawful in this category without proof. {{User:Yoshi the Space Station Manager/sig}} 17:45, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:::You weren't vandalizing, just made a mistake...repeatedly. Next time, after someone undoes your edit and what they put in the edit summary isn't clear enough, talk to them or post a question on the article's talk page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:48, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
== Writing ==

Please avoid [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Fawful&diff=prev&oldid=2237905 flowery] and [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Crow&diff=prev&oldid=2237928 informal] writing on articles. There's no need to describe a character with over-the-top adjectives, as simply mentioning them by name is fine; and saying something "should be familiar" sounds like you're having a conversation with the reader, which we also don't want.

Try to keep what you write formal, informative and professional. More information on writing style can be found [[MarioWiki:Good writing|here]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:16, 13 July 2017 (EDT)
:You don't need to ask if your edit is good. Just do your best, and if there's a problem, it will be fixed, but do try to keep writing standards in mind, like what {{User|Mario jc}} told you earlier. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:06, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Shroob Edit ==

Evil? Yes. Dark? Eh, not really. The Mario series is generally known for being comical, even at its darkest moments. "Creepy" and "disturbing" are also rather subjective descriptions. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:30, 13 July 2017 (EDT)

== Awards Presentation ==

Hello, I see that you've signed up to present M3. However, it doesn't seem like you have a [https://www.marioboards.com/ Mario Boards] account under any name, which is one of the requirements to present as we must send you the results there. Unfortunately we can't allow you to present otherwise, so if you would like to do so, please register for the forums; it should be relatively easy and only take a few minutes. Please get back to us as soon you can, as we need to know either your account name or that you are backing out of presenting. Thanks! - [[User:Turboo|Turboo]] ([[User talk:Turboo|talk]]) 00:03, 14 July 2017 (EDT)

== SMB3 ==

Okay, um, [[World 7-9 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|good attempt]], but {{User|Lord Bowser}} and I have taken up the task of making the pages for ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Additionally, there's not a lot of info on the page you created, so it may get deleted if more info isn't added soon (I can't expand it myself at the moment, because my Game Boy Advance died :P). Thanks for the help, though. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:02, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

== Chain Chomps ==

I was not aware there existed large, spherical, pure-black, pointy-toothed dogs. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 17:59, 15 July 2017 (EDT)
:Dog-like implies that they share a resemblance to dogs, be it physical or behavioural but to most people reading it without context, they would assume that "dog-like" means that Chain Chomps look like dogs. They would then see the image of a Chain Chomp and be very confused. A given subject's appearance is more obvious than its behaviour, so saying "dog-like" without any further explanation is just a non-sequitur. It's best to leave that stuff for the main body, in which their behaviour is explained in more detail. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 18:37, 15 July 2017 (EDT)

== Edit summaries ==

I'd recommend against outbursts like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_(series)&curid=58986&diff=2240400&oldid=2240397 this]. Summaries should be used for things like "Fixed typo" or "Expanded info", not laughing maniacally. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:29, 16 July 2017 (EDT)
:Nah, nothing wrong. A little humor is fine. Just letting you know not to go too overboard. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:41, 16 July 2017 (EDT)

Adding on to this, no need to [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=New_Super_Mario_Bros.&diff=prev&oldid=2241570 take on a condescending tone] in your edit summaries either. {{User:Lord Bowser/sig}} 18:08, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

There is no need to be [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Super_Mario_64_DS&curid=1602&diff=2247614&oldid=2247597 so aggressive] in your edit summaries. They are meant to simply explain what you've done to the article; saying "removing unnecessary bullet point" would have been sufficient. Please try to use better judgement next time. {{User:Lord Bowser/sig}} 20:59, 27 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Vandals ==
:Vandals are weird :P Also, was a little blunt with my earlier answer: You can help with reverting edits if you can, so long as you don't engage in an edit war or conversation with the vandal, but the blocking can only be done by members of the staff. If there's no staff member online (which has been rare, lately), there's always the [[MarioWiki:Admin noticeboard|admin noticeboard]] staff members watching it will get a notification from. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:56, 17 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Raccoon Mario vs Tanooki Mario ==

I did miss that, actually, yes. However, "''the big difference is that Raccoon Mario can fly, while Tanooki Mario cannot. Also, Raccoon Mario appears in 2D games, while Tanooki Mario appears in 3D games.''" is not completely wrong, but it's not correct, either. Tanooki Mario ''can'' fly in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and the final statement makes it seem like the transformations are exclusive to those genres, which they aren't in Tanooki Mario's case. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:47, 18 July 2017 (EDT)

== Millennium Star ==

Before any of your edits, the intro stated that Tumble was given life by the Millennium Star. Your subsequent edit then stated that he ''is'' the Millennium Star. I believe that it would be difficult to give life to something while also being that something. Also, per what the Doc said. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:17, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
:That's a logical leap and speculation, which is not permitted on the wiki. Also, the message is pleasantly harmless, so I might as well leave it there. Either way, that doesn't give you the right to delete it. It's not your talk page. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:19, 18 July 2017 (EDT)
::[https://youtu.be/-mXWq_yUWjk?t=254 That is not true.] The game clearly shows the Millenium Star exiting Tumble's head and saying that he's "seen all you've been doing from here, inside Tumble's head." They are not one and the same. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 11:52, 22 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE: List of rumors and urban legends about Mario ==

The sections are sorted by individual rumours, not by games, so there's no need. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:35, 20 July 2017 (EDT)

Best way to not have edits reversed? Only say things that are definite. Don't say things that are theoretical, don't say things that are subjective, and ''please'' keep and encyclopedic tone with grammar to match. Wiki basically taught me how to speak, so for me, it's natural. Also, only say things if it's something that's been neglected to be said, like how I changed the page for [[Giant Stu]] to undo the misconception that there was only one in the whole game. {{User|Doc von Schmeltwick}} 23:08, 20 July 2017 (CT)
:Advice: don't get angry when your edits are reversed. It happens to just about every user, really, usually at the start of them editing. I had a number of my edits undone when I started, and I still have some of them undone today. Keep in mind that the wiki is maintained by several users, many of which have ideas or ideals that may conflict with someone else's. By submitting your work to something as open as a wiki, you're automatically agreeing that anyone can edit it at anytime. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:37, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Mario Boards Presentation ==

You can make your presentation however you want to. Usually, people go with a comic, as it's appealing to look at and simple to do. Really any form of media works as long as it's engaging. Once you're finished, you send it in to Anton and Turboo on the forums so they can look over it, and then they will send you more info to include once the time comes to get the presentation up in the thread that will go up when the Awards Presentation starts. More info can be found [https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=38178.0 here]. If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting those on the Awards Committee, like Anton, Turboo, or Superchao, as I do not know everything :P {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:07, 21 July 2017 (EDT)
:It's my first time doing something like this, too, actually :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 16:09, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

== Courtesy ==

You need to start being more polite to people here. Remarks like the start of your comment [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Wildgoosespeeder&diff=2242430&oldid=2242429 here] are quite demeaning, especially to an experienced editor, and yelling at someone, like [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:MisterCoolSkin&diff=2243714&oldid=2243713 this] is absolutely unacceptable, especially when you're enforcing policy incorrectly. You're already on a last warning, so I don't want to ban you without explaining things first, but if you continue to violate [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|courtesy policy]] you will be temporarily banned. {{User|Yoshi876}}
:Dagnabbit, Y876 :P Yeah, what you said is not okay, for a few reasons. In order:
# The guy's French. He can speak his native language all he wants to.
# Cursing and swearing is allowed, so long as it's used in moderation. You can learn more [[MarioWiki:Courtesy|here]].
# You can't "hear" text, and typing in all caps isn't going to get your point across any better.
:These types of outbursts are becoming frequent from you. If they keep up, someone will have to ban you, as you are already on a last warning for the discourteous edit warring earlier. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:59, 21 July 2017 (EDT)

May want to avoid remarks like that in the future, and instead just post the troll in the admin noticeboard, optionally saying what they've done as well.

Your signature is in violation of several rules. First of all, it must be created: [[User:Skuchi037/sig|here]]. Then please follow the instructions [[Help:Signature#Preparing_for_usage|here]].

It's been pretty uneventful, which is a good thing. I'm still chipping away at the Mario's Time Machine articles. How about you? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 21:55, 23 July 2017 (EDT)
:That's good, and you shouldn't be bragging. Reverting vandal edits is just another part of contributing to the wiki alongside adding information and discussing changes. Also make sure that you don't get overzealous and report someone for being a vandal when they made an honest mistake. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 22:00, 23 July 2017 (EDT)

==M3 Presentation checkpoint==
Heya, I'm just sending you a message here since I know you're on the wiki more often than the forum.  Right now is currently the halfway point for working on your presentation, with it being due by August 4th.  As the PM states: "Please let us know that you received this PM, and what your current status is in terms of progress.  If you feel that you need to drop, now is the time to do it, but if you have any concerns please let us know so we can address them and find a solution that works best for everyone.  If you do not reply, it will be assumed that you are not working on the presentation and will be replaced."  When you're done with it be sure to send it privately [[forumuser:1129|to me on the forum]].  I'm looking forward to what you've got!!

== External link redirects ==

Hi, when making redirects, avoid what you recently did. [[Launch title]] redirecting to [[wikipedia:Launch title|Launch title]]'s Wikipedia page doesn't really work the way you intend it to. I'm sure users will probably just go to Wikipedia anyways. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 19:46, 27 July 2017 (EDT)

Do you have a source for your [[Brobotics]] redirect? Does Mr. L call Brobot that in the game? {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:40, 28 July 2017 (EDT)

You also completely removed the link to Super Mario RPG for no discernable reason. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 20:22, 28 July 2017 (EDT)
:Again, you're presenting links in a way that is not obvious, which is just reader-hostile, plus you were already told not to do this.

::Please provide examples of this, because again, you were already told not to do this.

No. Redirects are meant for ''official'' terms that "redirect" readers to subjects whose name either changed over time, has more than one name, the name can be spelled several different ways, or is meant to link to a section in a different article. "Yoob's Inside Story" would not make a good redirect. You can learn more [[Help:Redirect|here]] and [[MarioWiki:Redirects|here]] if you need to. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:00, 30 July 2017 (EDT)

[[Bowser#Portrayals|This]] is a list of all the voice actors that have portrayed Bowser. If a game's not on the list, then either Bowser didn't speak or the wiki has no idea.

:Nintendo hasn't done a good job of crediting its voice actors, to be sure. Also, may I ask why you don't use colons (:) when writing comments?

== RE:Question ==

No. Your IP will be temporarily blocked upon your initial ban and will run out after about two days. However, any attempts to edit, whether anonymously or by creating a new account, while your ban is operational will result in your IP address getting blocked for a certain length of time, and possibly lengthening your standard block. 

In other words, editing while blocked is a bad idea. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:45, 17 August 2017 (EDT)
:If editing anonymously becomes a problem, then the IP address(es) will be blocked for a length of time. The good faith aspect is always in play, even when dealing with blocked accounts, and we trust that the blocked user will get the hint that they should stay away for the time being. If they try to edit while they're blocked, well then that's their problem. 
:And, no, as far as I'm aware, there is no rule that says "you cannot become an admin if you have been previously blocked". Yes, we take warnings and blocks into account when deciding, but if the issue isn't an issue any longer, then it doesn't matter much. Becoming an admin is certainly a goal set by several users, but it shouldn't be a primary one. The purpose of the wiki is to provide accurate and up-to-date information about the ''Mario'' series, so as long as you focus on that, we'll come to you if we think your expertise is needed. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:47, 18 August 2017 (EDT)

== Welcoming users ==

While it is encouraged to be friendly toward other users, the {{tem|welcome}} template is no longer being used in order to avoid creating several talk pages containing nothing more than the template and wasting space. On the other hand, please don't create a talk page for the sole purpose of welcoming the user, though you can welcome them if you are messaging them for a different reason. Also, don't welcome them until they have made at least one constructive edit because they could create an account just to create an account and not use it (or become a vandal). {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:07, 19 August 2017 (EDT)

== Subjective content ==

Just want to clear up that, yes, while most fan content is subjective or not allowed, the Spiny Shell's fan name is an exception of a case. We have references of other media sites referring to the Spiny Shell as the "Blue Shell" (something we don't do on any other page as far as I'm aware) due to how popular the term is, despite it not being the official name. This wouldn't fly on any other page, for example, we don't have references of sites calling Mario "Red Plumber Guy", but because of how widely excepted Blue Shell is, it's an exception. But it doesn't matter how widely a fan-created term is, the official name overrules. "Also" is the correct word to use on the page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:55, 29 August 2017 (EDT)

The Ground Pound is a famous move, yes. But we don't say that, do we? So why would we say "infamously"?

It happens from time to time; something that you've spent hours on can easily be struck down.

Anyone is able to give a warning to other users (although admins are exempt from warnings). However, it's usually best to err on the side of caution and only give them when necessary. They shouldn't be given out like candy. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:12, 27 October 2017 (EDT)
:You get notified whenever someone replies to your talk page. I just happen to be on the wiki when that happens. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:15, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

== Two Minor Things ==

1. My nickname is '''The Black Lightning''', not [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Wendy_O._Koopa&curid=1919&diff=2322972&oldid=2322943 Green Thunder] (though I do like that you used any nickname)<br>
2. You might want to think about archiving your talk page sometime soon. This is done by moving the current page to '''User talk:Lcrossmk8/Archive 1'''. Place {{tem|Talkarchive}} at the top of the archive.<br>
That's all, I guess...<br>

== Nintendo Badge Arcade ==

Can I ask you to clarify your logic for [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Decide_if_Nintendo_Badge_Arcade_constitutes_a_guest_appearance|the Nintendo Badge Arcade proposal]]? Your vote should not be based solely on gut feelings, especially if they rely on esoteric and unrelated elements like "the Energizer rabbit". {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:22, 27 October 2017 (EDT)
:Just to make sure you're aware of it, you're now both supporting and opposing the proposal. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 23:55, 27 October 2017 (EDT)

== RE:Work and Play ==

You've definitely been doing better with your edits. You're doing fine as long as you don't get ''too'' hyper when talking to others.

Regarding your votes [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Decide_if_Nintendo_Badge_Arcade_constitutes_a_guest_appearance|here]] and regardless of what you've told Time Turner above, you need to decide. You can't both support and oppose. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 11:50, 28 October 2017 (EDT)

== Spammers ==

Number one: [[User_talk:109.176.244.24|Conversing with spammers]] is something you usually shouldn't do. Most of them will not care, though there are a few instances where an actual conversation can happen.<br>
Number two: The second part of that is incredibly unnecessary. Telling people to stay off the wiki isn't the right message we should be sending out. Instead, it should've read something like "If you want to talk about stuff like this, feel free to join our forum!" {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:14, 28 October 2017 (EDT)
:Seriously best to just undo their edits and move on. If they look like they're struggling, then a message can be sent, or an admin will take care of them if they are causing trouble. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:36, 28 October 2017 (EDT)

==1-Up Mushroom edit==

I removed the statement on the [[1-Up Mushroom]] page that is it the first extra live pickup in video game history because Xevious (released in 1982, vs 1985. for Super Mario Bros.) has an item that gives an extra live when picked up, which not only makes the claim unsourced, but also clearly false. You then [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=1-Up_Mushroom&type=revision&diff=2323728&oldid=2322605 re-add the statement the next day], as is, without adressing my reason for removing it in any way, and making it even worse by bumping the false claim in the lead instead of relegating it to our dubious Trivia sections. ''Why'' do this? --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 10:21, 30 October 2017 (EDT)

== Admin stuff ==

Hey. I appreciate you trying to help, but when someone contacts a staff member for something, it becomes an admin issue. There isn't much you can do, so jumping into the middle of things may end up making things more complicated or confusing for the user trying to contact an admin. Even if someone isn't online at the moment, best to just wait it out. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:16, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

== Indents ==

''Please'' indent your talk page comments. As Time Turner has told you, not indenting breaks the flow of conversation and make sit unclear if you are replying to another comment or starting a semi-new topic. In short, it makes everything hard to read.<br>
{{User:Ultimate Mr. L/sig}} 22:23, 4 November 2017 (EDT)

:Noted, but that doesn't mean there should be ''no'' indents. There's a fine line between too much and too little. Yes, at some point the indents need to stop (I'd say around five, six or seven?) because it's hard to read after that. But it's also hard to read if people have indented their comments three times and then you come along with no indents. Indenting is kind of an unwritten rule around here (or maybe it is written and I haven't seen it) and if teh entire community is doing it, it's not fair to everyone else if you don't.

== Re:Proposal help ==

That was my proposal to begin with. The onus is on me to make the necessary changes. Why are you thanking me for doing what I'm supposed to do? {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 18:01, 5 November 2017 (EST)
:Keep your ego in check, buddy. Your archival of the proposal let me notice that it had passed, but describing my following edits as "feeding off" your edit is skeezy. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 18:07, 5 November 2017 (EST)

== Re: Idle Chatter ==

Hey, I'm quite all right. Yourself? [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 02:18, 6 November 2017 (EST)

==Proposal regarding moles that are not the same even in the slightest==
According to the rules, each proposal gets up to three deadline extensions, and this one has gone through two. Furthermore, it is not decided unless one side has three more than the other, while this has a difference of two. Finally, even if it were over, the result would be "No consensus," not "Fail," due to the aforementioned difference of two.

== Warning ==

{{warning|2=rude comments}}
[[User_talk:Lcrossmk8#RE:knock.2C_knock...|You've been warned for this once before]], and your [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki:Proposals&diff=2334826&oldid=2334822 recent comment] on Howzit's proposal definitely crosses the line. Assume good faith for ''everyone'' on the wiki, and especially don't dismiss them as a joke no matter what you believe. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 01:25, 12 November 2017 (EST)
:Telling someone that they shouldn't be offended does not prevent you from being offensive. Dismissing someone's actions as a joke is insulting. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 16:32, 12 November 2017 (EST)

==Proposal results==
I told you a week ago, unless one side has at least three more votes than the other, it is officially "no consensus." [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:40, 14 November 2017 (EST)

== RE:Edit Warring ==

I know you're trying to help, but jumping into a discussion being taken care of by the staff, especially if said discussion involves a warning, don't get involved. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:16, 15 November 2017 (EST)
