| Good job on your [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Vanish_Cap_Under_the_Moat&curid=19449&diff=2011205&oldid=2001419 edit] there, but there really is no need to add that many links in the same paragraph, especially when they all lead to the same location or two. Just an FYI :) {{User:Alex95/sig}} 23:12, 8 July 2016 (EDT) | | Good job on your [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Vanish_Cap_Under_the_Moat&curid=19449&diff=2011205&oldid=2001419 edit] there, but there really is no need to add that many links in the same paragraph, especially when they all lead to the same location or two.

| Also, please watch your spelling/grammar when you edit, as I've noticed several errors in your edits (most common is "it's"/"its" - "It's" means "it is"; "Its" is a possessive pronoun, as in "its chain"), and additionally, please remember to use ''italics'' for game titles. Both are just as important as and make up part of the [[MarioWiki:Writing guidelines|Writing Guidelines]]. Thanks. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} | | Also, please watch your spelling/grammar when you edit, as I've noticed several errors in your edits (most common is "it's"/"its" - "It's" means "it is"; "Its" is a possessive pronoun, as in "its chain"), and additionally, please remember to use ''italics'' for game titles.

| Okay so are italics like this? " " --[[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 23:19, 21 August 2016 (EDT) | | Okay so are italics like this? " " --[[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 23:19, 21 August 2016 (EDT) |

| Besides "[[SM64DS]]", I'm also editing "[[Mario Kart DS]]". --[[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 01:38, 22 August 2016 (EDT)

| |
| :Italics are written with two apostrophes, not quotation marks, like this: <tt><nowiki>''[[Mario Kart DS]]''</nowiki></tt> And you don't need to worry about doing it on talk pages, just in articles. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 03:52, 22 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| == Re: Italics ==
| |
|
| |
| Using italics is simple. It's just two apostrophes (') on either side of the word/name. For example, you'd write ''Super Mario 64'' as
| |
| <nowiki>''Super Mario 64''</nowiki>
| |
| Keep in mind that this is only for names of games, not names of characters.
| |
|
| |
| For more info, there is a "Help" option on the top bar when using the editing box that displays various forms of what I call "wikitext". You can also take a look at [[Help:Format]] for a full list of coding.
| |
|
| |
| I know the wiki uses a lot of coding, but it's always readily available to look at if you need it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 18:20, 24 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Again, as Alex95 said, italics are used only for game titles. Not characters, places or anything else. ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' is a game title. [[Tick-Tock Clock]], [[Hazy Maze Cave]] etc. are not. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 06:23, 26 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| Is it okay if I restore the material without italics? --[[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 10:47, 26 August 2016 (EDT)
| |
| :Eh, I'm gonna say no. Most of what you wrote in was more about [[Toad (species)|Toad as a species]] rather than [[Toad|Toad as a character]], and what you put in is already part of the [[Toad (species)]] page. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 10:51, 26 August 2016 (EDT)

| Besides using italics correctly, careless edits, and adding unneeded info, did I not follow anything else? --[[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 23:23, 29 September 2016 (EDT)
| |
|
| |
| :Nothing else. If there's anything you're unsure about, please don't hesitate to ask or visit the [[MarioWiki:Rules|rules]] page. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 09:14, 1 October 2016 (EDT)

| == RE:Summary ==
| |
|
| |
| I somehow knew you were going to message me about that...
| |
|
| |
| The way you worded the plot was excessive, yes. I was just trying to clean it up for you. <br>
| |
| You also continue to add in unneeded adjectives, such as the "mighty ? block." What's that about?<br>
| |
| As for the Wario bit, it just plain wasn't needed.

| |
| :A "box above the article" (aka [[Template:Rewrite]]) is something we try to avoid. Don't add in information just so the template will be added, telling users "The following is excessive and needs to be rewritten." {{User:Alex95/sig}} 22:33, 3 October 2016 (EDT)

| |
| == Your recent edits ==
| |
|
| |
| This is an informal reminder of your recent edits. It seems you've just been going back to your original editing ways, because you continue to present certain information in the incorrect writing style I had warned you about earlier, or just unnecessary information in general. Looking [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Mario_Kart_64&diff=2105061&oldid=2103422 here], you wrote that heavyweight drivers are "considered the best" and middleweight drivers are "suitable for beginners", which falls under the "strategy guide" style of writing which isn't allowed on the wiki. You should know by now that we're an encyclopedia that deals with information, not tips and recommendations.
| |
|
| |
| This goes for some of your relatively older edits as well; you needlessly sneaked in an adverb "extremely" [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Snowman%27s_Land&diff=prev&oldid=2094840 here] to describe freezing water, as well as a particularly [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Big_Boo%27s_Haunt&diff=prev&oldid=2091535 notable one] I really should have notified you of earlier, and an example of the kind of poor writing I've been referring to:
| |
|
| |
| <blockquote>
| |
| Big Boo's Haunt is particularly a scary course, not only because it is full of Boos, but also it is basically an abandoned mission which seemed to have been inhabited before. It is probably the scariest [[Ghost House]] in the Mario series with evil books, chairs, and an evil piano that can scare the player to death if unawared of this cursed furniture.
| |
| </blockquote>
| |
|
| |
| Your use of the adjective "scary" and phrase "scare the player to death" is completely unnecessary. Not only is it flowery and grimdark writing (which [[MarioWiki:Good writing#Epic, flowery and grimdark writing|goes against policy]]), but it's also opinion-based information as I've mentioned to you in the past. And yes, Big Boo's Haunt ''may'' be "scary" to some people, or heavy characters ''may'' be the "best" for some people, but this sort of thing is purely subjective and does not belong on mainspace, where we deal with the ''facts''.
| |
|
| |
| Overall, and once again, please steer clear of emphatic and opinion-based descriptors and strategic suggestions in your edits. Given you were blocked for this matter in the past, consider this as a final reminder. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 08:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| So I'm still adding subjective/opinionated adverbs which should be avoided and words like scary or extremely aren't used in the wiki? And what did you mean by steer clear emphatic, opinion-based descriptors, and suggestions. Didn't you say I should avoid them? [[User:Marole3|Marole3]] ([[User talk:Marole3|talk]]) 14:09, 11 December 2016 (EST)
| |
|
| |
| :Yes; "steer clear" means to avoid something. {{user:Mario jc/sig}} 05:47, 12 December 2016 (EST)

| |
| == RE:Information ==
| |
|
| |
| I'm going to be blunt here; sometimes you just have to deal with people fixing your edits. It happens. There's no need to message someone asking for why they changed it, unless they made a complete error. I was fixing your edits, correcting mistakes and errors. I realize it may seem like I'm picking on you, as I've been fixing your mistakes for you, but that's not the case. I'm here to help.
| |
|
| |
| For Super Mario World, most of the info you added was strategic, which is a no-go on this wiki. For Super Mario 64, the bit about Bowser missing stars, while good info, doesn't exactly "fit" into the article and the part about Yoshi wasn't necessary, as it has nothing to do with Bowser. And the silhouette trivia was worded wrong and the SimCity bit was already mentioned in the cameos section.
| |
|
| |
| I'll see if I can find a way to re-add the missing stars bit. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 15:34, 17 December 2016 (EST)

| |
| == Mario/Luigi ==
| |
|
| |
| Hello, could you please explain the large-scale edits you made on the [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] pages? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:34, March 31, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :I recognize the edit on the Mario page. It's very similar to the one in [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Characters#Mario]]. My guess is that they reverted to that revision after viewing the BJAODN. {{User:TheDarkStar/sig}} 16:33, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
