Editing User talk:MarioGamerFan24

Welcome to my talk page, feel free to leave anything here. I may be able to reply if I'm not busy.
== Proper nouns ==

When naming proper nouns (names of characters, enemies etc.), please remember to capitalise them, so "boo" or "bowser" must be written as "Boo" or "Bowser." Thanks and keep contributing. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:41, 13 October 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, avoid writing in second-person (using the word "you") on articles; we write in third-person, so we use "the player" or the character's name instead. Try to also avoid {{wp|Sentence_clause_structure#Run-on_(fused)_sentences|run-on sentences}} as well (using a comma to separate two independent clauses), so in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Luigi%27s_Mansion&diff=prev&oldid=2527885 this case] as an example, ''"Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms, you can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts."'' should be written as, ''"Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms. The player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts."'' {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:07, 14 October 2018 (EDT)

{{reminder|2=not capitalising proper nouns}}
Please remember to capitalise names as I've explained above (like "King Boo"); writing all words in lowercase is not proper grammar. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:03, 17 November 2018 (EST)

== Italics ==

One other thing: please keep in mind that game titles must be formatted in ''italics''. So for [[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]], it's written as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. The formatting is simple: two apostrophes before and after the name: <code><nowiki>''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''</nowiki></code> {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:53, 30 November 2018 (EST)
:Please keep the above in mind. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 17:56, 27 December 2018 (EST)

== Run-on sentences ==

Once again, please avoid run-on sentences as I explained above like you did in [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Luigi%27s_Mansion_(Nintendo_3DS)&diff=2555537&oldid=2555508 this bullet point]. This was all one sentence, with only commas used to separate different pieces of information, which is improper grammar. In cases like these, you need to start new sentences and use periods / full stops to separate independent clauses. I recommend reading through the Wikipedia page I linked to you above. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:15, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Just so you get the hang of this:
<blockquote><i>
Gooigi can also vibrate when Luigi is near a door and enters a room where a [[Boo]] is hidden'''. T'''he closer Luigi is to the Boo, the more Gooigi vibrates.<br>
Players have ten minutes to take down Boolossus'''. T'''o defeat him when he throws bombs out, players must launch them at his mouth to explode him into Boos.
</i></blockquote>
These should be two different sentences. A tip would be whenever you decide to use a comma, just use a period whenever possible, unless it absolutely doesn't make sense as separate sentences. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:00, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

Very well lad, I am improving editing a bit more slightly, but there may have been some slips that can be easy for me to miss at times. I'll be much more careful now. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 18:38, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

Another one is:

<blockquote><i>
Achievements reappear in ''Luigi's Mansion 3'' serving a similar role'''. T'''hey come in four categories: [...]
</i></blockquote>

I know this is bothersome but I'm just trying to help you avoid this. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:33, November 2, 2019 (EDT)

All good lad, the more I know and avoid this, the better. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 03:12, November 3, 2019 (EST)

== Warning ==

{{warning|2=not capitalising proper nouns}}
As you're familiar with the ''Mario'' series, you should know that names for most characters, games, consoles etc. need to be capitalised, especially after you were reminded twice. There's some improvement in your sentence structure, but please remember this rule as well; it's not difficult, and while I shouldn't need to mention bad grammar again, forgoing this for links can lead to [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=New_Super_Mario_Bros._U_Deluxe&diff=prev&oldid=2568042#Differences_from_New_Super_Mario_Bros._U_and_New_Super_Luigi_U broken links]. If you don't know, you can always check the rest of the article, other articles, or through the search function. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:59, 20 December 2018 (EST)

:Basically if it's a ''name'' for something, its first letter is a capital letter, like "Mario", "Nintendo" or an enemy like "Ukiki". So a common light "switch" isn't capitalised, but the console "Switch" is. Don't take it as a discouragement; I'm just trying to help you improve. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:36, 20 December 2018 (EST)

==Images==
{{aboutfile-reminder}}
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
Hello, thanks for your [https://www.mariowiki.com/Special:ListFiles/MarioGamerFan24 uploads], however, you need to categorize your uploads, for example an ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' image would need the code: <code><nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Images]]</nowiki></code>. Also, you need to use the {{tem|aboutfile}} to describe the subject of the image, your source of the image, etc when uploading, and finally, you need to remember to apply a licence to the uploaded image when uploading. Thanks! {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 14:30, 27 December 2018 (EST)

Please remember to add the appropriate licence and category to your uploads, otherwise you may receive another warning. If you're uploading directly from the editor (the image icon at the top of the text box), you would add the following along with the summary:

<pre>
==Licensing==
{{game-screenshot}}

[[Category:Super Mario Maker 2 Images]]
</pre>

Though I recommend using [[Special:Upload]] as it's easier. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:49, May 15, 2019 (EDT)

Ah I see, only assumed editing options would work best but, that'll do, for next time [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 21:06, May 16, 2019 (EDT)

This again. Images need a license and image category as [[Special:Diff/2801930|I've done here]] (for the license, you just select from the "Licensing" drop-down menu). Please try to remember these things, you shouldn't need to be reminded every time (for instance, you forgot a navigation template and category again on [[Rooftop (Luigi's Mansion 3)]].) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:43, November 9, 2019 (EST)

:I'd assume I would have got everything but there is some difference between using mobile to desktop, the next time I do this I should switch to desktop while using mobile purposes. And I will also have to check on how to do the category labels as well, if I ever made another mistake or forget to do this again, I'll accept any punishment you can give, I can understand you are getting tired and probably mad of reminding me every time I messed up and I should have been able to be much more better than before when I first joined. Maybe one day there might be some few improvements for mobile users although I might be wrong about it. I'll probably forget about editing if its the last straw I messed up on something. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 06:25, November 10, 2019 (EST)
::Also on that note, i can be unteachable and unworthy just to help out wikis, maybe i'll stop editing for a while if you just had enough reminding me every time. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 11:37, November 11, 2019 (EST)

== Brawl Attacks ==

Could you provide a reference for the new name for Bowser's [[Special Attack (Bowser)|Special Attacks]] if it's true? So far the remake has only been released in Japan. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:46, 3 January 2019 (EST)

Unrelated, but for the '''''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''''' headers you're doing, please use a forward slash <code><nowiki> /</nowiki></code> instead of a vertical bar <code><nowiki> |</nowiki></code>. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:51, 3 January 2019 (EST)

I have made a video about it, showcasing the name change: https://youtu.be/Yj5ivwl6AO8 [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 03:53, 5 January 2019 (EST)

On that note: this was from the manual like I mentioned the other day, but haven't been more specific with evidence. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 03:57, 5 January 2019 (EST)

You're still using the vertical bar to separate the original and remake's titles for section headers. We use the forward slash, not a vertical bar. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:23, 16 January 2019 (EST)

It was somewhat hard to figure out which one to use, but very well. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 22:05, 16 January 2019 (EST)

==Removing comments==
Regarding your recent edit you removed your talk page comment. Please remember that you cannot remove your comments which is why I undone your edit. Thanks. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 18:29, 14 February 2019 (EST)

My apologies, i was just seeing if it be easier to see things but, very well. Will keep that in mind next time, good day. [[user:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] (talk) 01:10, 15 February 2019 (EST)

== Summaries ==

No need to constantly make edits with summaries saying "Revert if needed"; just use your best judgement. If there's definitely something worth informing in what you're adding, we welcome it! Also, we cover pre-release and unused content for a lot of games, so filling in that gap for a game that doesn't already have a section/page for it is encouraged. The talk page is always there if you're having strong doubts about anything. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:59, 9 March 2019 (EST)

Very well, I will keep that in mind if something bothers me, just wanting to be on the safe side if I made some minor mistakes or grammar errors. For now have a good day. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 09:03, 9 March 2019 (EST)

== "Its" versus "It's" ==

Hi, just letting you know that, in case you get confused again, "its" is a gender-free singular possessive pronoun, while "it's" is short for "it is". Please keep this in mind, otherwise you may start seeing warnings pertaining to the matter. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 02:16, April 1, 2019 (EDT)

== Max Cheese ==

Cheese wasn't in the original game at all. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:47, April 9, 2019 (EDT)

== New stubs ==

{{new stub-reason|[[Stone (object)]]}}
Letting you know of this now as this is the third time you created a stub article. Please consider the above when starting a new page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:03, June 30, 2019 (EDT)

Your articles also lack a navigation template and categories. When you get the chance, you should go over the [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]] when making another article; there's also no harm in looking at other level articles to get an idea of how one should be written or using it as a template (as a suggestion, you can add a layout summary and enemy list). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:38, July 3, 2019 (EDT)

{{reminder|2=not following the Manual of Style (categories; navigation template; italics)}}
Your previous two articles lacked categories / navigation templates before they were added later by other users as well as ''italics'' for game titles for the latter, after you were reminded twice already about reading over the Manual of Style. A number of users came in to fix it up but it's important to know these yourself. Please follow the Manual of Style carefully when starting up your article. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:43, July 24, 2019 (EDT)

I guess I didn't even think clearly when trying to make a article, I should have done that before making them. I must remind myself if I ever make another in the future. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 13:38, July 25, 2019 (EDT)

Please [[Special:Diff/2797040|remember navigation templates and categories for new articles]]. I really don't think a warning over this is necessary now but you might not be let off if this happens again considering you've been told three times already. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:08, November 4, 2019 (EST)

I didn't think three times as much, my memory can fade at times forgetting what is needed each time if I ever created another page, I was worried if I put another stub or something in the page. I'm probably overthinking too much, My apologies lad. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 17:47, November 4, 2019 (EST)

:That's why your talk page is here. Just remember to check it (or ask) if you ever forget something.

:Also, if this is the only glitch that's going to be on the page, I should let you know it should just be kept as a section on the main game page rather than on a separate page. A glitch page should only be necessary if such a section becomes excessively long. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:13, November 4, 2019 (EST)

::I understand, I will hope to keep that in memory to remind myself the next time another game is released and/or if more glitches are discovered, but only time will tell for now. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 20:17, November 4, 2019 (EST)

{{warning}}
Please remember to add as much information as possible. Just the release dates is not enough. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:40, March 13, 2020 (EDT)

:Very well, and I'll have to study quite a bit more about new stubs, I know many newcomers don't follow rules well and I try to avoid breaking them, but one little mistake I do and then..well you know the routine. I could have asked before making pages...I'm doing the best I can. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 22:16, March 13, 2020 (EDT)

== RE: More info about Run-On sentences? ==

There's the {{wp|Sentence_clause_structure#Run-on_.28fused.29_sentences|Wikipedia page}} I linked to above, and also: {{wp|Comma splice}}, which is the more specific error actually. You can also find some material through Google like on [https://www.grammarly.com/blog/comma-splice/ Grammarly]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:54, November 5, 2019 (EST)

== RE: Original image uploads from the user should rename the file? ==

You should be able to rename it. You need to click the "move" tab at the top of the page. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:03, December 17, 2019 (EST)

Ah i see, well thanks for the info lad, just wanting to be sure if it was possible. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 15:10, December 17, 2019 (EST)

After moving a file, remember to mark the old name for deletion with {{tem|delete}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 19:47, March 22, 2020 (EDT)

Alrighty, thanks again. [[User:MarioGamerFan24|MarioGamerFan24]] ([[User talk:MarioGamerFan24|talk]]) 03:41, March 23, 2020 (EDT)
