Before either you or Goolgenerade revert any more of each other's edits, talk it out. No offense, I was able to replicate most of your translations by feeding the Japanese text through Google Translate, but I won't make any assumptions just yet; still, constantly redoing and undoing edits between another user isn't acceptable. One of you should go to the other's talk page and sort things out. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} | Before either you or Goolgenerade revert any more of each other's edits, talk it out.

The admins agreed to overturn the Warning since most of your translations were perfectly fine and following policy. The only exception is that the literal translation ''should'' be provided, rather than just stating "literal translation", as it's clearer and more consistent with the vast majority of non-literal translations, plus it's actually backwards to say the Japanese names are the translations at all, as they usually came first, and the English is what was translated from them. (The only times it really makes sense to only state a name's derived from a different one are [[Koopa_Troopa#Names_in_other_languages|cases like this]] where things are being ''transliterated'' - so it's just sounds, no real translation to try and give at all. There's also cases (like in that same example link) where it makes sense to say when something's a translation of the Japanese name instead of a very-different English name ''in addition'' to an English translation, especially when onomatopoeia are involved.) But that minor quibble is only deserving of an informal f.y.i. message (like this one here), so again, the Warning was inappropriate. However, I ''do'' advise you to avoid being [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk:Goolgenerade&diff=1894695&oldid=1894694 quite so accusatory], even when you are understandably frustrated with someone, as it ''can'' come back and bite you, as was attempted here. And in general, it's better to contact an admin directly when someone's antagonizing you, rather than [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGoolgenerade&diff=1894016&oldid=1880112 commenting] [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=User_talk%3AGoolgenerade&diff=1894754&oldid=1894716 on] your aggressor's talk page: it's more than likely to just make things worse and could even make you look bad. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 12:38, 5 October 2015 (EDT) | The admins agreed to overturn the Warning since most of your translations were perfectly fine and following policy.
