*'''Make sure the content you add fits''': LinkTheLefty's decision to revert your edit on the [[List of games]] was entirely justified: it's a list of video games, it's in the name. Adding ideas that were floating around the office without going any legitimate steps of production, tech demos and soap bar things with water games is outside the scope of the page. There's also multiple instances of you adding homebrew creations that had no involvement from Nintendo or its licensees, which is explicitely outside the wiki's coverage. Before adding content, make sure to properly determine it makes sense for it to be there on the page and the level of information that is appropriate for the page you're adding it to. A page like [[Mario (franchise)]] shouldn't have complete plot summaries and list of everythings in games for example, just concicse summaries of what's notable about it.

But flipping out and calling to ban another user for reverting one of your edit (as you did above) or making threats is not going to work, and you're not going to last long if you can't show a willingness to deal with others in good faith. Bragging statements like "''[...] I've been very helpful in adding missing content. I hope you're all grateful for that. I don't need any notices, warnings or bans. Without me, you guys wouldn't have this stuff covered.'' aren't going to endear you to other editors either. Being protective of your additions is especially silly, because, well, ''nothing'' you do here belongs to you (and if you don't know why I'm saying that, I recommend looking at the helpful link at the bottom of every page).

Okay, so, "why is your grammar so bad" is not what I'd call a personal attack or threatening in any way. Unless I missed something, I'm not sure how this is even "threatening", and there's no profanity involved here???<br>
It is a pretty rude thing to say, as pointed out in the Courtesy policy. The wiki is edited by people of all ages (usually 10-50 range, I assume) by people who just like editing a Mario database. It is also edited by people where English is not their first language, so grammar may not be completely correct. Instead of making fun of them, just help them out.<br>
Additionally, your recent edits show blatant disregard towards admin edits and other users, making excuses for not fixing very simple things (something you were blocked for before), and you just generally don't seem to understand very simple concepts of how internet sites work (like not clicking the log in link on a different computer) and it is greatly effecting your communication skills to the point where we have to keep explaining it even after you seem to have already understood it. You've been helpful, but you also ''really'' need to take the time to figure out just how an internet site and the community works. Hope you keep this in mind next time. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:38, November 22, 2019 (EST)
I never said my comment was threatening. I just meant if a mentally unstable person joined this wiki and threatened another editor's life, then they'd be doing something bad, but it wasn't in the community guidelines not to when I checked. Also, Wikipedia doesn't like it when editors swear, so why should we? I also think three months and one year are unnecessarily long block lengths. We shouldn't be so harsh. Maybe we could lighten all the block lengths. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 13:57, February 22, 2020 (EST)
:Welcome back.
:"I just meant if a mentally unstable person joined this wiki and threatened another editor's life, then they'd be doing something bad, but it wasn't in the community guidelines not to when I checked."
:[[MarioWiki:Don't shoot your foot off]].
:"Wikipedia doesn't like it when editors swear, so why should we?"
:As much as I don't like it either, we are not Wikipedia. As long as it's not excessive or meant to insult someone, then whatever.
:"I also think three months and one year are unnecessarily long block lengths. We shouldn't be so harsh. Maybe we could lighten all the block lengths."
:They likely deserved it. Those aren't lengths we give right away, they are for people who will not stop causing trouble. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 14:03, February 22, 2020 (EST)
I recently made an edit on list of games and a bunch of replies to pie pivot monitor on the super Mario 64 slot machine were made by a hardcore slot machine specialist called -Crest- and I sourced a portion of one of his replies and put more information he gave in my summary. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 14:23, February 22, 2020 (EST)

Tell that to TheDarkStar, who has been deliberately removing valid information, like donkey kong-e and the play Nintendo games. He acts like I'm just some stupid amateur who uploads knockoffs 24/7. I joined this wiki to make it better, not to be sabotaged. Please don't block me. I just want to speak my mind. Why does he hate my guts? Why? [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 00:18, February 24, 2020 (EST)
:Okay, where the heck did ''that'' come from? He's not sabotaging you, he's not "deliberately" attacking you. The Play Nintendo games are something of a gray area, as they are really more of promotional material than full games, so there was nothing wrong with questioning them. Don't assume other users hate you just because they want more information than just a "Yes, they count" from only one person. Calling someone out over something simple will make it look like the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish. You just got off of a block for similar issues. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:24, February 24, 2020 (EST)
Why do you people have to be so strict and block us? I'm trying to help you get more accurate and noticed and you blocked me for 3 months. I get stuff I did was wrong, but you are all so harsh. No disrespect. I know you're not Wikipedia, but this site seems to be heavily inspired by it. I joined Wikipedia and the first and only time I got blocked, it was for 1 day. Why can't you be like that? I hope no one enjoyed my absence. Again, not trying to be a jerk, but why can't you be reasonable? I just want this site to succeed. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 00:33, February 24, 2020 (EST)
:You are on thin ice. We don't block people for fun, we do it because they need to take time away and learn to control their issues. In your case, you needed to work more on your social skills, which you clearly have not. You will not learn to be a better person after just one day. We are reasonable, but we also act accordingly. Don't blame the admins for your problems.
:And by the way, saying "no disrespect" does not excuse you from being disrespectful. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:01, February 24, 2020 (EST)
My social skills in real life are great, just not on the internet. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 01:07, February 24, 2020 (EST)
:Then work on it. We've already given you all the help you need, you just need to follow through with it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 01:09, February 24, 2020 (EST)
== RE: VS. Wrecking Crew ==
That obviously doesn't mean citing definitions for simple words. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:32, February 25, 2020 (EST)
Oh, ok. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 19:38, February 25, 2020 (EST)
== Edit Flooding ==
I see that you're using a mobile app, but you're still flooding the edit history and recent changes. Do you have a computer? Editing on the MarioWiki by computer allows you to edit a big article all at once instead of editing it by section-by-section, and it also allows you to preview your edits and mark your edits as minor. Just giving you a heads up. :) [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 16:57, February 26, 2020 (EST)
And somehow it's an offense to edit your own page in one edit. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 17:05, February 26, 2020 (EST)
:It's not. Whether you're talking about main pages, talk pages, or other types of user pages, editing a page you created in one large edit is allowed. You may be mistaken with the rule that you can't make a large amount of different userspace edits in one go. Either way, be more careful when making claims about rules. Anyways, to build on what MariOfan100 said, as you already know, but may find use of being reminded of, is that by going to the "desktop" button on the bottom of the page, you can do stuff that you can do on a computer like the mentioned marking your edits as minor. You can return by going to the "mobile view" button on the bottom of the page. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:58, February 26, 2020 (EST)
I thought I read somewhere that users had to edit their own user pages many times and not one time, which I thought I read was an offense. But whatever. I guess I'm crazy. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 19:50, February 26, 2020 (EST)
:If you focus more on your userspace than the actual articles, then that's a problem. Editing a page in one go rather than several small edits is preferred. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:34, February 26, 2020 (EST)
Gotcha. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:45, February 26, 2020 (EST)
The problems with being a respectful editor are that I don't like the desktop version of this site, I can never work a laptop right and it's easier for me to make a bunch of edits because if I need to shorten a Wikipedia page or more, it's easier to find all of them or that one in a section if I look all over that section. If I turn on desktop mode, I'll have to look all over the page's code for Wikipedia links and that will take so much time, energy, work and effort out of me and I'd have to spend hours and hours on end doing it to a few pages each. But also, my tablet has pop ups no matter where I am and if I lose all that work while still editing, I'll lose every ounce of my sanity. So it's easier this way for me, but I don't want to be a bad editor or a nuisance. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:14, February 26, 2020 (EST)
:"I'll have to look all over the page's code for Wikipedia links and that will take so much time"
:There's a helpful little tool called "Search and replace" that shows up when you click the "Advanced" tab on the desktop editing window (it's the magnifying glass icon on the top-right). You can search for all the <nowiki>"[[wikipedia:" and turn it into "{{wp|"</nowiki>. You will have to go through and find the ends of all those links and replace the proper brackets, but it should only take you five minutes at most. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:22, February 26, 2020 (EST)
Well, since I completed work on so many pages, I probably won't have to worry about that. But thank you for the helpful information. On another matter, why do we italicize N/A? That's not a game title. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:42, February 26, 2020 (EST)
::Assuming you mean N/A as not applicable (or sometimes called non applicable), it's generally because it's a clearer emphasis that something is empty without leaving it blank. [[User:Trig Jegman|Trig]] - 22:45, February 26, 2020 (EST)
I understand what N/A means, but we don't need to have it look crooked if it's not a game, movie, tv show, publication or board game title. I think we should make it look like N/A, rather than ''N/A''  because, yeah. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 22:50, February 26, 2020 (EST)
Use the preview function before actually publishing your edits. After you hit "Next", if there's something that needs fixing, press the back arrow button instead of "Save". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:59, March 1, 2020 (EST)
Ok. Thanks for the tip. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:00, March 1, 2020 (EST)
I can't preview the video before saving. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:02, March 1, 2020 (EST)
:But you can preview the article before saving. That's when you can see the links, and if a link goes to an error, then you go back and fix it. And you've already been taught how to copy/paste links ''multiple'' times; it would save from all of this if you would just do that. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:07, March 1, 2020 (EST)
Desktop mode looks too weird to me. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:09, March 1, 2020 (EST)
:This has nothing to do with desktop mode, this is all doable in mobile. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:11, March 1, 2020 (EST)
I'm a trash editor. I'm sorry I'm wasting your time. Someone with 10 times more intelligence than me should be editing this wiki. Not me. [[User:Lord Falafel|Lord Falafel]] ([[User talk:Lord Falafel|talk]]) 20:14, March 1, 2020 (EST)
:You don't need a high level of intelligence to understand this. The problem is that you just give up at the slightest sight of difficulty, and it gives off the impression that you didn't even ''try''. Doesn't matter if you do it wrong the first time as long as you at least give it a shot, but self-pity isn't going to get you anywhere. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:28, March 2, 2020 (EST)
