Hi :) {{User:The RPG Gamer/sig}} 02:58, 23 October 2016 (EDT)

== Image uploads ==

{{aboutfile-reminder}}
{{imagecategory-reminder}}
Thanks for uploading the missing images, but keep in mind the parameters you need to fulfill when doing so. For the category, in this case it would be <nowiki>[[Category:Super Mario Galaxy 2 Images]]</nowiki>. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 13:34, 30 October 2017 (EDT)
:Additionally, when categorizing images, please be sure to use brackets (<code><nowiki>[[Category:WarioWare Gold Images]]</nowiki></code>) instead of curly braces, as the latter transcludes the category contents onto the page instead of actually categorizing it. Thanks! {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 18:58, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

== Transparency ==

One last thing regarding images: it's usually inadvisable to crop artwork just to make it transparent (unless, of course, the artwork's transparency is official). Is the transparency you added to your recent uploads official? If not, I'll have to revert all of them to their previous revisions. Thank you. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 21:52, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

:Oh, ok, sorry about that, the images with backgrounds I tried to crop myself, you can revert if necessary [[User:Sdman213|SDMAN]] 21:56, 5 July 2018 (EDT)

Sorry about that, clearly I didn't check the website to see for myself. My bad. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 00:37, 9 August 2018 (EDT)

:No problem, you want to help re-upload the images with white BGs, I'm sorry for any unofficial transparency, and am trying to right his in anyway I can  [[User:Sdman213|SDMAN]] 00:40, 9 August 2018 (EDT)

== Game titles ==

Game titles are usually completely written out and italicized, even if it is already written in the same paragraph or infobox and seems redundant. Also, when [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=The_Claw&diff=prev&oldid=2473041 reverting edits], make sure you are not reverting valid parts of edits as well. --{{User:TheFlameChomp/sig}} 17:13, 30 July 2018 (EDT)
:Oh ok thanks, sorry for any confusion [[User:Sdman213|SDMAN]] 17:19, 30 July 2018 (EDT)

== Image Gallery Preview Recent Edit Activities ==

Hello, I see that we've been both trying to find common ground the past few days regarding image gallery preview section candidates for certain Mario female articles (especially the Peach, Daisy, and Rosalina ones). I believe we've finally good on the ones for the Princess Daisy gallery preview section; but can you tell me why you still want [https://www.mariowiki.com/images/1/1d/MASATLOG_Peach_art.png  this picture] and [https://www.mariowiki.com/images/f/f2/Rosalina-Rio2016-NoBGround.png  this picture] to remain in the gallery preview sections of the Peach and Rosalina articles respectively? Just wondering about that; please reply soon. Thanks in advance. --M. C. - [[User:MeritC|Profile]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 10:54, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

Hey, I was just trying to be consistent with other characters, such as Wario and Toad having at least 6 pictures in their preview galleries. I also feel that both of them in their gymnastic outfits show variety and their poses do show their personalities, so I feel they do have a spot in the gallery. --Sdman213 - [[User:Sdman213|Profile]] 12:08, 8 October 2018 (EDT)

: Hey, on that [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Rosalina&diff=2526333&oldid=2526126  recent edit you did], it's not really "redundant" in this case because there weren't many promo pictures done featuring Rosalina in Mario game installments (and it's still recommended to target promo artworks of characters related to their involvement in the game installments themselves). However, I do agree that when more promo artworks of Rosalina get done for upcoming game installments (when announced by Nintendo) and when they release, the said gallery preview section for the article could use some revision for showing which pictures would best represent Rosalina for the article itself. Thanks in advance for understanding. --M. C. - [[User:MeritC|Profile]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 00:41, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

== Infobox images ==

It doesn't matter what's more "neutral," the rules are that the newest artwork goes inside, with the only exceptions I can think of being ones that are extremely stylized or holding an object that isn't intrinsically linked to the character. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:08, 9 October 2018 (EDT)

== Galleries ==

Actually, we prefer to avoid all cases of image redundancies on a page. The "all artwork" thing only applies if the gallery is on a separate page. Otherwise, infobox images should not be in the gallery. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:25, 19 November 2018 (EST)
:When adding images to a gallery, the entire gallery does not need to be italicized as seen [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Cranky_Kong&diff=prev&oldid=2580929 here], as this often italicizes the sections after the gallery, not the gallery itself, and galleries should only be italicized in the names of games, which you already seem to be doing. Thanks for your understanding. {{User:Doomhiker/sig}} 14:37, 14 January 2019 (EST)

== Yoshi group art ==

But in that case, wouldn't it have been made for the original? Anyways, if you're sure, please change all references to said image from SMW2 links and gallery to the SMA3 one. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 19:04, 9 January 2019 (EST)

Should be, since the art in Red Yoshi's gallery links to SMA3. [[User:Sdman213]] 19:05, 9 January 2019 (EST)

== "This is artwork, not a sprite" ==

Given it's only seen in-game as a character select/vs. image, I'd say they are by definition sprites. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:37, 15 January 2019 (EST)

== "different canon" ==

There ''is'' no canon. See [[MarioWiki:Canonicity]]. Everything should be treated relatively equally, with the exception of the old live action film (due to being so absolutely different, if still enjoyable). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:32, 19 January 2019 (EST)

== Yoshi's Story ==

The manual actually generically identifies each Yoshi in the game generically as "Yoshi" in sections like "Yoshi's mood," "Yoshi's moves," et cetera. It not being listed on the page is probably a relic from when it was assumed all "Yoshi" characters were the same individual. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 01:09, 10 February 2019 (EST)

== DK94 ==

Many, many, many enemies in the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' harmlessly push Mario along if they touch him. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:45, March 31, 2019 (EDT)

==Gallery==
That's fine, I just wanted an explanation for your edits. What I generally do is mix up the gallery with screenshots, logos, and group art, as well as character artwork as I believe that's more illustrative of an article gallery than just solo character artwork. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 01:06, April 14, 2019 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|overturned=y}}
Hello there! You taking credit for my edits is not cool at all and your edits are not either. So please stop and if you take credit again a warning will be issued!  {{User:HEROMARIO/sig}} 21:01, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

:No one is "taking credit" for anything here, and this isn't a warnable offence to begin with. If there was a problem with an edit, a simple message would have sufficed, ''not'' a reminder. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:15, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
::On the 3ds page it went like this 
*Me: +Game gallery
*Sdman213: -Game gallery
*Sdman213: +Game gallery
*POINTLESS AND TAKES CREDIT!{{User:HEROMARIO/sig}} 21:18, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
:That doesn't make any sense. He didn't take credit for anything; he made an edit and then went back on it. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 21:24, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

== Enemy counts ==

I see you removed the enemy counts on the [[Scary Skeleton Goonies!]] article. I understand why, but I don't want this to open up a can of worms causing this to happen with other level articles. [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|Many]] [[World 1-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|other]] [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|articles]] do this, usually in the form of a table. [[User:Obsessive Mario Fan|Obsessive Mario Fan]] ([[User talk:Obsessive Mario Fan|talk]]) 21:07, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
:I am on the watch for this user with his 3rd reminder! {{User:HEROMARIO/sig}} 21:09, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

I will say though, you should give a reason other than simply "Unnecessary" when removing content or undoing edits next time, as I've noticed you've been doing this quite often. There was a [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive_51#Part_2:_What_should_be_included_in_enemies_lists.3F|proposal]] to include enemy counts, and it's useful information anyway, so I don't see how it's unnecessary at all. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:37, April 15, 2019 (EDT)

Oops, my bad... Understood. Sdman213 23:38, April 15, 2019 (EDT)
:Ok thank you for understanding and please don’t delete my edits and redo them. That makes it seem like you are taking credit for my edits. Thank you for understanding. {{User:HEROMARIO/sig}} 09:48, April 16, 2019 (EDT)

::I was talking to Mario jc, I wasn't taking cresit for your edits... I simply went back on the edit... that doesn't mean I took credit...
Sdman213 10:48, April 16, 2019 (EDT)

== Dr. Luigi/Peach/Bowser art ==

Is the source for the Dr. Luigi, Peach and Bowser artwork correct? The [https://drmario-world.com/en-US/index.html official website] doesn't appear to use these images. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:29, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

Oops hang on, think I forgot to correct the source, found them off twitter, I'll fix it real quick. Sdman213 00:56, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

:Thanks for that, though it looks like you upscaled them and uploaded them as png when they were originally jpg, which [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|goes against policy]]. It's possible you accidentally saved them as png after you cropped them, but keep in mind that images should be uploaded in the format they were found in (additionally, cropping is fine of course, but upscaling them is discouraged as it only makes it blurrier). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:06, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

::Oh! Oops! Totally an accident, I can reupload as a jpg if need be? Sdman213 01:07, June 18, 2019 (EDT)

== RE: Peach Gallery ==

Looks like that image is already there. imo, the gallery preview should be a mix of things, of artwork, sprites, and maybe screenshots. It's a preview of what you can expect, not just "The Best of Peach".

As for the infoboxes, yeah, any recent artwork that is not stylized for a specific game works. There have been discussions/proposals to make exceptions, however. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 19:09, January 5, 2020 (EST)

== Shadoo and the Game & Watch ==

Hello, I've seen your reverted response. I get where you are coming from but the Mario Bros. in the said Game & Watch title weren't really in their modern proportions and ascetics yet when the game was made of course. Obviously Nintendo wouldn't really make Shadoo give Dark Mario and Dark Luigi their old Mario Bros. styled designs since they moved on from that design since they are only in the Mario Bros. styled games and made for the purpose of the art style. This is similar between trivia of [[Mr. Game & Watch#Trivia|Mr. Game & Watch]] and the Shop Keeper from ''Wario Land 4'' who she looks like Mr. Game & Watch but with actual eyes. As far as I know there isn't any other black silhouette clone of Mario and Luigi, especially these two forms in the Game & Watch styled Pit Of a 100 Trails. Peach and Bowser did not appear in the Game & Watch era, since they didn't debut until ''Super Mario Bros.''. --[[User:Gamermakerguy|Gamermakerguy]] ([[User talk:Gamermakerguy|talk]]) 01:35, January 21, 2020 (EST)

== Moving files ==

After moving a file, make sure any pages that still link to the old name are fixed to use the new name. The old name should then be marked for deletion. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:56, September 3, 2020 (EDT)

== Mount Duel ==

We generally do not have articles on simplistic ''Mario Party'' minigame competition modes like Mount Duel, and [[Talk:Boss Rush|there]] [[Talk:High Rollers|have]] [[Talk:Choice Challenge|already]] [[Talk:Step It Up|been]] [[Talk:Garden Battle|multiple]] [[Talk:Rocket Rascals|successful]] [[Talk:Endurance Alley|proposals]] to merge such modes. We don't need another proposal for Mount Duel. ''Mario Party'' modes only warrantly articles if they are really expansive like [[Super Duel Mode]]. {{User:7feetunder/sig}} 16:45, June 3, 2021 (EDT)

== heh heh ==

Yah I geus my TEC page was still bad =({{User:Bubbasour11/sig}}

Just because Yoshisour is in trivia does not mean that it cant be in the "full name" section to. {{User:Bubbasour11/sig}}

== Unofficial transparency ==

Could you explain more about [[:File:SMG Big Pokey Artwork.png]]? Both my version of the image and all existing previous revisions are unofficial transparency, as they are both derived from a trading card image from http://www.enter-play.com/products/mariogalaxy_cards_01.html. Since the blank or transparent background seems essential to its use on the wiki, I thought I would attempt to make a slightly better one, more carefully cropped and with a de-noise filter. Neither is ideal and we should hopefully try to find better SMG artworks, but I thought a bad but slightly better image would be preferable. --{{User:Supermariofan67/sig}} 18:22, June 9, 2021 (EDT)

He's right, actually, the rules explicitly state that only .jpg images are forbidden from being given unofficial transparency. As such, .png images are fair game. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 18:34, June 9, 2021 (EDT)

Oh, well good to know, will know about that in the future. --Sdman213 - [[User:Sdman213|Profile]] 18:54, June 9, 2021 (EDT)

== Edit sniping ==

Please don't edit-snipe other users' edits. I uploaded the images so it should have been clear that I'd add them after I've done them all. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:38, June 15, 2021 (EDT)

:Oh gosh, that truly was not my intention, I apologize if I did anything out of line, will know better in the future. --Sdman213 - Profile 22:39, June 15, 2021 (EDT)

== My edits are correct ==

Go to nesmaps.com and check to see if my edits are correct. [[Special:Contributions/99.101.66.106|99.101.66.106]] 20:15, June 20, 2021 (EDT)

== Reference errors ==

Be careful with citation errors next time when you're removing references, like with your ''WWGIT'' edits removing the microgame descriptions and changing the characters list. After removing a "ref name" reference with a full URL, make sure to remove every other "ref name" reference with the same name (if they're also unnecessary), otherwise it leaves errors at the bottom of the page as seen [[Special:Diff/3465987#References|here]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:49, September 21, 2021 (EDT)

:Oh sorry about that, will make sure, thanks for the heads up! [[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 00:06, September 22, 2021 (EDT)

== Tenses ==

Hey uh, is there a place that tells me how to be better at tenses cause my writing can be a little messy sometimes? [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 16:17, November 9, 2021 (EST)

== Reverting edits ==

You need to assess other users' edits more carefully, because lately you've occasionally been undoing other users' edits for poor or incorrect reasons, [[Special:Diff/3502754|or little to no reason at all]] (e.g. saying "it's consistent with other articles" when [[Special:Diff/3501581|what they were doing (ordering them chronologically) is correct]]; "better format" when [[Special:Diff/3500989|this is clearly more convenient and less cluttered]]; [[Special:Diff/3497591|this edit]], when there's an article named "[[Emblem]]" that lists others of this type of image; and even reverting [[Special:Diff/3502065|information taken directly from the game]]). Please try to make better judgements and [[MarioWiki:Rules|review the rules]] (check in-game content if necessary, either through the game itself or even YouTube) before reverting edits next time, or just leave it to or ask someone else to assess them. I can understand being cautious, but not every single edit made by anonymous/new users is unreliable. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:57, November 13, 2021 (EST)


:Understood, apologies for being a little too cautious... 
[[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 10:46, November 13, 2021 (EST)

Also I agree with Mario Jc, you do revert/change my edits a lot. I am fine with some rewording but you should not delete important info said in manga summaries (like how you deleted the line when Mario used his badge that was made out of Super Stars to deflect the bullets that the Mega Mole shot with). Or sometimes deleting stuff because it is "speculation" (like the Mega Mole miner seen in the Mario Open Golf volume of KC Mario). I understand that I get something wrong or I add to much info, but please don’t revert every single edit I make. Thanks for your understanding.

{{reminder|2=poorly assessing and reverting valid edits}}
[[Special:Diff/3544085|This]] is ''not'' vandalism. Vandalism is purposely damaging the quality of the article. Looking at [[Special:Diff/3543690|the edit]], the user likely misspelled "objective", and if you had checked their other edits, they'd have no motive to vandalise anyway. Not only this, you're still [[Special:Diff/3541779|reverting]] [[Special:Diff/3543772|valid edits]] for poor reasons. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:59, January 22, 2022 (EST)

Understood [[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 02:11, January 22, 2022 (EST)

Don't revert edits if you're not confident about them by saying things like "I understand"/"no hard feelings if there are any disagreements". This is still not reason enough for reverting someone else's edits. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 02:54, August 5, 2022 (EDT)

== 4koma Manga Theater Monty Mole section ==

Hey, I wanted to remind you that I wanted to make each volume a single paragraph for the section and not every strip. This is how I wrote the KC Mario and Super Mario-kun sections, so it is easier to find which appearances are in which volumes. How you formatted it will make it harder to find volumes down the road so I am wondering how you feel about the original format? I feel like it is just more beneficial to group all the strips of a volume into a big section instead of mini sections for each volume (I did this for the KC Mario 4koma volume sections for Monty Mole and Mega Mole and it was just fine). Also the Wonderland story is actually a continuous narrative unlike most of the other 4koma strips. It not only had continuity, but the story even came back in the third volume. I get that most other 4koma gag manga are small one-time jokes, but you gotta understand that this one was different compared to the others, in that it actually had somewhat of a story (especially the Welcome to Wonderland in volume 1). Anyways I hope you understand. [[User:MontyMoleLoreMaster|MontyMoleLoreMaster]] ([[User talk:MontyMoleLoreMaster|talk]]) 22:03, December 7, 2021 (EST)

:Except that the format was incredibly hard to understand with how you have it, it is formatted incredibly informally with the strip titles randomly inside a really giant paragraph. I would discuss with a user that has time to focus on this, I don't really have the time and energy to do so. [[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 22:14, December 7, 2021 (EST)

I think it's ok to make adjustments/corrections, but i don't appreciate you outright reverting all of my edits. [[User:Mario Manga Reader|Mario Manga Reader]] ([[User talk:Mario Manga Reader|talk]])
:People undoing your edits is something you should always anticipate whenever you're engaged in a collaborative project involving many people. Sdman213 is not edit warring, either, so please do not accuse them of such, and assume good faith. Anyhow, it's suggested you keep a more cordial tone with engaging with users that undo your edits, as [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]] discourages people for acting defensive over reverted edits.

==Information removed from Anthony Scapelli's page==
Why did you remove the information that [[Anthony Scapelli]] is [[Foreman Spike]]? ok, that I plageed the text, But, you didn't need to remove [[Anthony Scapelli]]'s information is [[Foreman Spike]], also, you removed the reference/source .

==Dr crygor==
I placed information on his personality, but you removed it as it is not ready yet. I think the section need write about:
