Editing User talk:Moses Sin

== Suitability ==

Please don't split multiple parts of a single sentence into separate edits, it's not necessary at all and it floods the history and recent changes pages with pointless edits when they can all just be done in one single edit. Also, regarding the microgame suitabilities, you should explain how the characters are suitable or unsuitable rather than just something along the lines of "They use their attack to clear the microgame."

Finally, [[MarioWiki:Redirects|avoid making redirect links]] like <nowiki>[[Ashley]]</nowiki>. Since the article's title is "[[Ashley and Red]]", it should be <nowiki>[[Ashley and Red|Ashley]]</nowiki>. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:48, November 8, 2021 (EST)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|2=making pointless consecutive edits}}
Please stop [[Special:Diff/3500094|splitting]] [[Special:Diff/3500072|sentences]] into separate edits and only save your edit once you've completed them. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 08:16, November 8, 2021 (EST)

[[Special:Diff/3504278|You're]] [[Special:Diff/3504283|still]] [[Special:Diff/3504433|doing this]]. Stop splitting edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:40, November 15, 2021 (EST)

== Stub articles ==

{{new stub-reason}}
Please don't create microgame pages with just the infobox and appearance, either as is or for you or others to finish it later. There should be much more than that off the bat (in this case, at least a substantial Gameplay section), and navigation templates and categories should be included. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:27, November 15, 2021 (EST)

{{warning|2=creating stub articles}}
{{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:06, November 24, 2021 (EST)

Do not create articles with just one sentence of information. Rather than just adding what it is basically, you should at least add what it does, how it's significant to the plot etc. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:17, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

Don't be vague about the details like saying the item "has effects" on a character? What effects? (and for Excitement Battery, how is it relevant to the story if it's the source of the Tokyo 64's power?) You should be at least familiar with the game to write information about it; if you're not, or you haven't played the game, leave it for someone else to write the articles, but don't create pages just for the sake of filling in red links. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:27, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

== Warning ==

{{warning|2=splitting parts of sentences into separate edits}}
{{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:15, November 19, 2021 (EST)

[https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_%26_Sonic_at_the_Olympic_Games_Tokyo_2020?action=history These] didn't need to be separate edits. They could have been done all at once. Unless there's some sort of technical limitation that's keeping you from doing that, do not split edits. If you're concerned about getting the table rows wrong, use the "Show preview" button before saving. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:43, March 23, 2022 (EDT)

== "Suck up" ==

Stop removing "up" from the phrase, it's less specific that way. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:20, November 25, 2021 (EST)

== Last warning ==

{{last warning}}
Please stop making small changes along a series of edits when they can all be done at once. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:01, March 24, 2022 (EDT)

Note: Sorry, but there is one long page. {{User|Moses Sin}}

==Signing your comments==
Make sure you sign your comments on talk pages :) You can use four tildes "~". Simply type [[User:Lin7650|Lin7650]] ([[User talk:Lin7650|talk]]) 05:13, August 6, 2023 (EDT) at the end of your sentence next time you leave a message or reply. [[User:Spectrogram|Spectrogram]] ([[User talk:Spectrogram|talk]]) 01:39, April 11, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Yes, understood.

== ''Wario: Master of Disguise'' edits ==

Don't upsize sprites needlessly, it tends to make them look bad. If you absolutely ''must'' upsize a sprite, then multiply its size by a whole number so it doesn't look blurry. For instance, [[:File:WMoDRedChest.png]] is 30px wide, so only increase it by multiples of 30, like 60px or 90px, not 50px. Also, preview your edits and don't save them in an unfinished state [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=The_Final_Face-Off!&diff=prev&oldid=3630050 like this.] {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 19:55, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Got it. {{user|Moses Sin}}

Another thing, in headers, words that aren't proper nouns or the first word of the header should have their initial lowercase, so "NTSC-U Description" should be "NTSC-U description". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:46, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Why do the main list pages have bigger D? {{user|Moses Sin}}

:That's also an error and will need to be fixed eventually. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:53, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: What's the error? {{user|Moses Sin}}

:What I just mentioned, the "D" in "Description" shouldn't be in capitals. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:09, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: 😥

:You're still not doing this in your tables. You don't have to go back and fix the previous ones now, but please keep this in mind for future tables. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:20, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Please, tell some others to do that since repeating the same pages is annoying.

:I'm saying when you add tables to the levels, make sure "Description" is written as "description". {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:28, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Yes, just like that.

:Please listen to what I said. You're supposed to do [[Special:Diff/3630227|this]] when you're adding new tables. If something about what I said wasn't clear, please ask. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:37, April 25, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: I don't even know why the list page had the bigger D before.

== Luncheon Kingdom regional coin list ==

Please don't remove the list from the [[Luncheon Kingdom]] article unless [[List of regional coins in the Luncheon Kingdom|this page]] gets completed. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 08:47, May 1, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Sorry, but please finish pages showing purple coins of Seaside, Luncheon & Bowser's Kingdoms.

== Sticker Star stickers ==

Now I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think the smaller ones are the actual raw in-data size. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 03:32, May 2, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: OK, I don't know if fans like them.

== Table images ==

If you're adding images to tables, make sure you specify a width for big images ([[Special:Diff/3651649|like this]]). You can't see it in mobile view, but in desktop view, leaving the image without a width causes it to display in its original size and appear too big. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:54, May 6, 2022 (EDT)

Moses: Understood, thank you. {{User|Moses Sin}} 10:50, July 6, 2022 (EDT)

Please remember to add <nowiki><br></nowiki> [[Special:Diff/3753199|between the images and text]] for the ''Yoshi's Island'' tables so the text appears underneath it, otherwise the text appears next to it in desktop view. Again, this isn't visible in mobile view, so you wouldn't have seen it; in the future, I'd suggest looking at your edits in desktop mode to see that they're displayed properly when working with tables and image placement. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:29, September 11, 2022 (EDT)

:You're doing this again; please look at your edits on desktop mode so the images are properly scaled and aligned with the text. It's frustrating having to constantly remind you of things you were notified for before. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:32, September 19, 2022 (EDT)

== Level music ==

The "track" parameter is for titles of officially named songs, not general descriptions of songs. These can be described in the article, or add the actual media file itself in the "track" parameter. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:07, September 17, 2022 (EDT)

:Just adding the song title (like "Sticky Situation") when it's not that exact song, but a variation of it, is misleading. Please stop redoing these edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:47, September 18, 2022 (EDT)

::All right, I'll stop. Sorry for some confusions. [[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] 20:00, September 18, 2022 (EDT)

== Image categories ==

After removing {{tem|uncategorized}} when you upload, it should be replaced with a category link (for ''Dark Moon'' images, you add <code><nowiki>[[Category:Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon images]]</nowiki></code>) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:00, December 10, 2022 (EST)

Moses: Oh, sorry. It's my first time uploading. {{User|Moses Sin}} 18:55, December 10, 2022 (EST)

== "Image+Name" ==

It's more formal to use a forward slash than a plus sign here. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:37, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

*Sure, thanks for the advice. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 00:50, April 11, 2023 (EDT)

== Excessive linking ==

Don't add excessive and unnecessary links to concepts like "enemy" and "character"; these types of things are obvious and don't really help the reader. Many of the links you're adding are also redirect links (including the ones I mentioned), which are not allowed, and disambiguation links. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 10:49, April 25, 2023 (EDT)

*Got it. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 06:30, April 25, 2023 (EDT)

==Prezzy Edits==
I like the edits that you made on the [[Prezzy]] page, since I feel like having the rating being a little pixel sprite gallery would be better than having it as just plain text. It looks less cluttered that way, and it matches what it looks like in-game.

{{User:Lin7650/sig}} 4:12, August 6, 2023 (CST)

*Sure. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 4:15, August 6, 2023 (EDT)

== Warioware smooth moves pre-intro cutsenses ==

Hello, Moses Sin. I have just reuploaded the files you've uploaded for the WWSM pre-intros. With the high-quality thp/emulator versions. Why? Because youtube screenshots  come out as blurry, and thus you shouldn't rely on yt videos for cutscene screenshots. Youtube screenshots are best when used on youtube-exclusive videos, like the WarioWare Gold character trailers. (I haven't reuploaded one for Jimmy P yet) {{User:PnnyCrygr/sig}} 09:25, October 2, 2023 (EDT)

*OK. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 9:26, October 2, 2023 (EDT)

:YouTube screenshots of gameplay are acceptable if you don't have any other means of capturing the game, as long as the videos themselves aren't poor quality. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:01, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

*Fair enough. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 15:15, October 3, 2023 (EDT)

== Moving files ==

[https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Bowling_clear_G%26Wario.png?action=history Read the reason why I moved the page back]. If you're renaming a file, its name needs to be changed on any pages that are using it (listed under "File usage"). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:33, October 10, 2023 (EDT)

Please do not move files without changing their names on the pages linking them. You moved a number of files that haven't been updated on articles. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:08, November 9, 2023 (EST)

If you're moving a file because of a wrong name, the old name should be marked for deletion with {{tem|delete}}, not blanked.<br>Also, when you do upload over the wrong name, the summary information isn't actually added to the page; [[Special:Diff/4067120|you have to edit the page manually to add it]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:15, November 28, 2023 (EST)

== Wikipedia links ==

We have a template for this: {{tem|wp}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:45, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

*Fair enough. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 09:45, October 19, 2023 (EDT)

== .jpg ==

Hello Moses Sin. Great work on uploading the Club Sugar and Hawt House finale cutscenes from Twisted and Touched. However, you uploading them in jpg format, from YouTube videos rather than Desmume or Visual Boy leaves quality to be desired. If you want emulator-quality screenshots (in png), simply play the rom dumps in your Desmume/Visual Boy, then you can take a screenshot of your computer and crop out the excess into just the emulator's output display instead. Get it? It should be simple. Plus, if you're planning to save them in pngs, there's a dropdown option in the Save As window, that lets you change the file type. {{User:PnnyCrygr/sig}} 07:30, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

*Understood. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 18:10, October 24, 2023 (EDT)

== Old file names ==

You're still just blanking old file names instead of marking them for deletion. If you're going to edit the page anyway, you may as well tag {{tem|delete}} to it rather than removing everything. Is there a reason why you're not adding it or can't add it? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:21, December 5, 2023 (EST)

:No, sorry. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 11:55, December 5, 2023 (EDT)

== Similar images ==

Please don't upload excessive images that are too similar to each other; we don't need every single frame of a cutscene. That means if the only difference between multiple images is something as minor as character's head position (like Jimmy T looking at the camera then at his phone), we only need one.

Also, don't connect captions together to write a narrative and add made-up quotes like "This is me, Mona!" They should be kept professional and simply describe what is in the image. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:29, December 29, 2023 (EST)

==Files final reminder==
Not only are you still just blanking redirects rather than tagging them for deletion, you're not fixing their file names on other pages too (the "WWG CricketCharacterTrailer(number).png" ones specifically). A number of your images are also too similar to other images and unnecessary. ''Please pay attention'' to what I've been telling you; this is a final warning and it's exhausting having to remind you of the same things every time.<br>
Another thing, changing something like "WWG CricketCharacterTrailer1.png" to a simple description like "The winner is Young Cricket!.png" is not necessarily a "better name". You got rid of the game name in the title, and a lot of your names are not professional and again just made-up quotes ("CATCH!", "Yes, I got it!"). They should be titled the same way you'd write a caption, but simpler/shorter (e.g. "WWG Young Cricket wins.png", "WWG Mantis throws dumpling.png", "WWG Cricket Cicada catch dumpling.png"), and they shouldn't have symbols and punctuation like parentheses, ampersands, and exclamation marks (read [[MarioWiki:Image use policy]]). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:41, December 31, 2023 (EST)

Do not remove comments on talk pages. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:07, December 31, 2023 (EST)

== Headers ==

Don't add images or templates to headers, they mess up section links on the history page and Recent Changes. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:04, July 17, 2024 (EDT)

*Understood. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 00:08, July 18, 2024 (EDT)

== Microgame icons ==

The staff went through this with [[Special:Contributions/Jsylvan|another user who made similar uploads]] of minigame thumbnails that are just compressed screenshots used by the game: We already have actual screenshots that do the job, so we don't need these thumbnails. Try to avoid treating the wiki as a place to dump every asset from the game and focus on only uploading images we ''need''. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:55, July 30, 2024 (EDT)

*Understood. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 00:05, July 31, 2024 (EDT)

== Blurry images ==

Don't upload blurry, upscaled images over images taken at the console's native resolution, please. A bigger image does not make it better-quality. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:55, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

*Sorry, but what can we do about the sports equipment in ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)]]'' and the [[Excitement Battery]]? {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 12:40, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

:Read my new messages in [[#Stub articles]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:39, August 9, 2024 (EDT)

== Cutscene images ==

Review my message in [[#Similar images]]. ''[[Gallery:WarioWare: Smooth Moves#Character intros|This]]'' (''especially'' the Jimmy T ones) is excessive. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 03:07, August 20, 2024 (EDT)

*Sorry. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 04:50, August 20, 2024 (EDT)

== Names in other languages citations ==

Hey, just wanted to let you know that a proposal to require citations for names in other languages passed. It would mean a lot if you could cite new names as you add them. Thanks! [[User:Technetium|Technetium]] ([[User talk:Technetium|talk]]) 08:27, August 27, 2024 (EDT)

*Thank you. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 09:07, August 27, 2024 (EDT)

== Wait a minute? ==

Aren't you just mostly liking Chinese because you add a lot of Chinese names? [[User:Justgetmycatch|Justgetmycatch]] ([[User talk:Justgetmycatch|talk]]) 07:14, September 1, 2024 (EDT)

*I confess, I AM Chinese. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 07:53, September 2, 2024 (EDT)

== File names and captions ==

Keep file names and captions ''professional''. [[Special:ListFiles/Moses_Sin|These "in-game stage" file names]] and the captions you added to the ''Yoshi's Crafted World'' pre-boss fight questions are not suitable. Use more formal and neutral-tone titles and captions, and ''do not use punctuation in file names'' (that includes letters with accents like those used in Pinyin). [[#Files final reminder|This is information I've already notified you for previously]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:45, September 20, 2024 (EDT)

*Whoops. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 08:33, September 20, 2024 (EDT)

Parentheses count as punctuation. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:42, September 25, 2024 (EDT)

*Oh. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 01:50, September 25, 2024 (EDT)

:So is there a reason why you're still using them in file names? Just use letters and numbers. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:57, September 25, 2024 (EDT)

*I am, they aren't illegal. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 03:00, September 25, 2024 (EDT)

== Summaries ==

Calm down with the summaries. I understand you're trying to make it a fun thing out of them, but that's not what summaries are for, and they're distracting. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 04:38, September 22, 2024 (EDT)

*All right. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 04:42, September 22, 2024 (EDT)

== Redirect/disambig. links ==

[[#Excessive linking]] - Don't link to redirects or disambiguation pages. If you're linking to a specific page, it should be linked properly (e.g. <code><nowiki>[[List of crafts in Yoshi's Crafted World|Craft]]</nowiki></code>) or if the page doesn't exist (like "Space" as in outer space, ''without'' linking to the disambiguation), just don't link it at all. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:12, September 30, 2024 (EDT)

*All right. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 09:15, September 30, 2024 (EDT)

== Nintendo Castle images ==

Hey, the Nintendo Castle images you're uploading now are just the thumbnails. You can remove the "s" at the end of the URL to get a full-size 720p image.

For comparison:

{{User:Scrooge200/sig}} 01:52, November 19, 2024 (EST)

:I removed them. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 04:05, November 19, 2024 (EST)

== Howdy ==

I have noticed your screenshot contributions to the wiki over the past month or so, documenting where Star Coins, Green Stars, and similar collectibles occur in levels. Thank you for doing this, it's great! Keep up the good work. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 11:05, December 13, 2024 (EST)

:Thank you. {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 11:50, December 14, 2024 (EST)

== Sorting Wii U images in the Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World category ==

The images you are placing in the [[:Category:Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World images]] category, such as [[:File:YWW 1-1 SF3.jpg]]  are from the Wii U game [[Yoshi's Woolly World]]. While I'm not entirely sure how categories for remakes have to work, I don't think images from a one version of the game should be placed in the categories of both versions of the game, especially if both versions of the game have distinct graphical capabilities. I believe more Wii U images should not be added to this category until something is figured out regarding their placement. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 05:08, January 22, 2025 (EST)

:What can we do with them then? {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 05:10, January 22, 2025 (EST)

::I was going to say a relation could be established, but the category system already does that. Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World images is a subcategory of Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World which is a subcategory of Yoshi's Woolly World. Given this, I think if people are searching through the Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World images category for images of each item in the game and don't find them, they will understand they have to view a broader category and eventually find the category for Yoshi's Woolly World images. So no change. [[User:Salmancer|Salmancer]] ([[User talk:Salmancer|talk]]) 08:09, January 22, 2025 (EST)

:::All right... {{User|Moses Sin|Moses Sin}} 08:13, January 22, 2025 (EST)

== Yoshi's Woolly World screenshots ==

There is a new category that I have added. So when you upload a screenshot from ''Yoshi's Woolly World'', place it under [[:Category:Yoshi's Woolly World screenshots]].

--{{User:ZanyDragon/sig}} 00:36, January 23, 2025 (EST)

== Poochy Pup and Sprout locations ==

Do you think you can add the images of the locations of [[Sprout]] and the [[Poochy Pup]]s in each level of ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', please? --{{User:ZanyDragon/sig}} 22:40, February 3, 2025 (EST)

:Yes, I can, and also need a little help, please. --[[User:Moses Sin|Moses Sin]] 22:55, February 3, 2025 (EST)
