Um...

What exactly was that about...?

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 05:07, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

That was a mistake, I'm sorry as it was disproportionately disruptive, this won't happen again. Please don't block me for that, I made a terrible mistake --Bryce Wilson | talk 05:09, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

I must not edit again when i'm drowsy --Bryce Wilson | talk 05:11, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

I'm not going to block you, just please try to refrain from typing things like that in the future, even if it's on your own talk page.

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 05:31, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Understood. Can you RevisionDelete that edit? --Bryce Wilson | talk 05:32, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

I can't do that, only Sysops can.

Archiving

Do not archive simply to put a ended discussion/section away. Only archive when your talk page reaches over 32,000KB. Also, please create a visible link to your archive on the current talk page.64Fan (Discussion)

Why can I not? May I please have a link to the policy regarding this? --Bryce Wilson | talk 09:30, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

It is a recommendation on nearly all wikis. 64Fan (Discussion)

Please note that you never said that it is "prohibited". It is "recommended" to archive a large talk page. Many people on a large amount of wikis put a ended discussion away when they feel it is over. --Bryce Wilson | talk 06:19, 17 October 2011 (EDT)

Okay, nvm, I'm only going to archive my talk page when it gets long. --Bryce Wilson | talk 00:15, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Re:Vandals

Yes, I realized that; that's one of the things that confirmed them as being sockpuppets. We only block IP addresses directly in extreme situations, and since he's only created one sockpuppet account to vandalize with and hasn't created any more as of yet, I wouldn't say the situation's exactly out of hand at the present time. Don't worry though, if an IP address ever needs to be blocked directly for something along those lines, we'll make sure that it happens.

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 00:12, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Okay, good to know. --Bryce Wilson | talk 00:13, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

Sorry

Sorry, I did not create problems. I am French and I communicate sometimes badly so please excuse me. I just wanted to help this wiki ... But I still provided help ... FirstMarioFan 09:39, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

No problem – if you learned from the mistake, that's great. --Bryce Wilson | talk 09:47, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

I will do my best. My translator is not always good ... Thank you for removing the callback. FirstMarioFan 10:15, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

no problem. --Bryce Wilson | talk 10:15, 25 October 2011 (EDT)

Generic Info...? (Mario Kart 7)

Okay, I'm trying to figure out here -- in the case of "generic information" (especially in the case of Mario Kart 7), what did you have in mind? It's just that as I said on the respective talk page there that although we're striving to keep important stuff on the articles on this Wiki, we're trying not to look like Wikipedia as well. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 11:00, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

I mean, right now, I think the article, and many others, are mainly just about the gameplay, and no other information is provided much if at all. I think if we add other information (just not gameplay), such as coverage of it in the news, quotes about it, etc. the article would be more balanced. --Bryce Wilson | talk 19:41, 26 October 2011 (EDT)

This grammar mess.

The reason is but it probably doesn't matter to you,my parents took me out of secondary school due to how frankly crap it was,so i never really learnt grammar but I'm currently in a step up program for collage,and I am learning better grammar now just know that I'm trying my best.

Okay. --Bryce Wilson | talk 20:35, 28 October 2011 (EDT)

Sockpuppet

It IS sockpuppeting. I WILL vote again. PikaSamus (talk)

I wish I could remove this message, unfortunately it's the rules that do not allow me to. Do NOT message me further about this unless you understand the point of the proposal. --Bryce Wilson | talk 21:14, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

RE:Thanks!

Re: Italic conflict....

Why an italic template? is the use of double apostrophe really annoying? As for the Policy Page edit, that depends if the page is protected or not from users. Look at the page's history to see if another user has done an edit there. ¢oincoll€ctor

It italicizes the titles of pages, similar to a fashion done on many wikis. So the title will be displayed as Mario Kart Wii if I put the template on top of the page. Similar to a fashion like this. --B.wilson talk 21:44, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

Ah, I get it, but not, that's not necessary in this wiki. ¢oincoll€ctor

Hmm...out of curiosity, why? --B.wilson talk 21:47, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

Basically we don't stick of what Wikipedia makes to its pages an the use of italic on titles like that are unnecessary here because it has no purpose. ¢oincoll€ctor

RE: Hello

Done, thank you for informing me. L151

No problem. As I see you've blocked his IP as well... --B.wilson talk 04:03, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

RE: Regarding this edit...

I'm not from the US myself, I live in England, but that's the format all other proposals on the Wiki use, and it looks a lot more uniformed if they're all the same. Don't worry, it's nothing too big. MrConcreteDonkey 06:07, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Okay, understood. Clearly the standards here are very different from other wikis... :-) --Bryce talk contributions 06:15, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

Okay, first thing: please sign your posts with four ~'s (tlides). Second, don't use external links for images, as they can be easily mistaken for spam; save the image to your computer and upload it to here via Special:Upload. --Bryce talk contributions 10:21, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Ok, I dont want to get in trouble so im not going to do it again. --NJE 10:23, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

re: your proposal

while I'm not sure about having yet another template for something most readers aren't going to care about, I do think the idea of making the citations more professional has merits and I don't think you should have been so quick to delete it and its assets. who knows - others might have agreed!

re Excuse Me: The edit reason was in reaction to what I perceived to be unnecessary passive-agressivity in the deletion reason and hasty judgement - both of Walkazo (for reducing her genuine concerns as "not wanting to make the wiki more professional) and the rest of the admin team (for judging our attitude toward being professional based on the statements of one person). Admitelly I probably went too far and I apologize for unwaranted rudeness.

anyway, that was my 2 cents. --Glowsquid 22:11, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for your message. The only problem is that Walkazo is like - one of the top contributors here - so when she opposes, everybody else does to. I hastily closed it, mainly because of that. --Bryce talk contributions 22:18, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

I won't deny there's a strong vote sway going on in the proposals page (a point a former admin tried to make here infact). But from what I've seen, civil and substantial arguments (ie: not ALinkToThePast/NARCE-level of single minded irritability) will more often than not attract voters even if there's one "big" voter on the opposing side. --Glowsquid 22:34, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Sure. --Glowsquid 08:06, 5 November 2011 (EDT)

Reminder

Please stop violating the Courtesy policy on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing. If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

B.wilson, your recent conduct toward other users and the administration is unbecoming of what we expect from users of the wiki, in particular your edit summary here, this section, your comment here, and how you've been conducting yourself on the Proposals page are all unacceptable behaviors around here. Antagonizing people about less-than-proficient language skills is uncalled for. Remember that quite a few users don't speak English as their primary language, and keep in mind that children make up a significant percentage of the userbase. In the other examples listed, you come off as condescending and arrogant, especially when it comes to other users' opinions. It would be in your best interest to show more respect to your fellow users and to be more impartial in your overall editing. Thank you for your consideration and keep contributing. Mario4Ever (talk)

Let me say that I was born as a temperamental, sometimes disproportionately arrogant, person, even sometimes making the parents of my students quite sad, unfortunately. I am trying to control my temper although this may take years to vanish. I sincerely apologize if I caused you or the community any problems. --Bryce talk contributions 06:44, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Let me also say I disagree with the last comment as it being uncivil. Asking someone to "write in comprehensible English" is definitely nicea friendly reminder, not insulting. --Bryce talk contributions 06:45, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Fake New Messages Template

The fake New Messages Template at the top of your talk page is not allowed (there have been multiple proposals about this issue: the community considers them to be disruptive and wholly unnecessary). Please remove it. - Walkazo 10:40, 8 November 2011 (EST)

K Done. --Bryce talk contributions 20:10, 8 November 2011 (EST)

Hi!

Hi, i'm YoshiKong, but my real name is Ben. Can I be your friend, because you sound like an awesome guy and I have visited your userpage and we have similar interests in music and stuff.

YoshiKong (talk · edits)

Your Subpages

The content on your subpages "User:B.wilson/Userpage" and "User:B.wilson/Userboxes" has been moved to your main userpage, which is where it was being transcluded to anyways. Subpages meant solely for transclusion onto the main userpage (or other subpages) are generally frowned upon except in the case of archive templates or userspace navboxes which allow you to change content on many pages at once. You are free to re-add the tags you had. Thanks and keep contributing, Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

By the way, it is impossible for anyone except for sysops to edit userpages and if a sysop wants to edit your userpage, they probably have a good enough reason that "Please don't edit" won't deter them. Not telling you to remove that or anything, but it just seems a bit redundant to me. Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

By the way Bryce, how did you do that {{User:B.wilson/Userbox}} thing? Could I get that for my userbox to make it easier next time?

P.S. What instruments do you play?

I copied the code to that page, and put the page's name in a template. I can play a variety of instruments: I have B.Mus degrees in instrumental music and piano performance. --Bryce talk contributions 23:09, 22 November 2011 (EST)

That's cool! Just one more question...How did you get that 'whos online' thing that is on your userspace? Can you pleeese give me the code?

RE: Regarding Dstheisen (I hope I got that name right...)

Just got your message and snagged the time to respond; I handed out the ban against him just now. I checked the evidence and it seems he seems to constantly change course names and such in relation to Mario Kart 7 to the English names from NOA's version of the game -- even though it's protocol that the version that gets released first get top priority (article/course name wise) around here. This had me conclude he possibly might not have read the policy thoroughly enough. Thanks for letting us know about it. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 01:04, 23 November 2011 (EST)

No problem --Bryce talk contributions 01:10, 23 November 2011 (EST)

I just found out that you were on Wikipedia and Mario Wiki and im a big fan of mario and also you should go to the Homestar Runner Wiki,and can we be friends :). --User:AwesomeSponge/sig 23 November 2011 (WST)

Incivility

This isn't really important and kinda hard to put in words (at least for me it is), but in that edit summary you linked to, was the way it was worded appear to you to be a insult to Hosy (as in "**** you HAHA".)? If so, I wasn't intending to insult him, I was being sarcastic as in "Fugue? Get it, it sounds like **** you! HAHA SO FUNNY (Not)". But yes, it was a regrettable action on my part either way.64Fan (Discussion)

If you've learned from the mistake, that's great. Some jokes may not be appropriate, so let's try to keep it civilized :) --Bryce talk contributions 01:09, 25 November 2011 (EST)

Read the other part of my edit summary. "Fails to follow the manual of style". That should help, shouldn't it? (and by the way thx Jazama, it's rather annoying when comments come to me unsigned) --Bryce talk contributions 20:11, 29 November 2011 (EST)

Well, if it cant be on Mario Kart 7, why are we allowing it on Super Mario 3D Land? Just an FYI:)--NJE 20:12, 29 November 2011 (EST)

I have readded it on the MK7 article. Part of my concern was that the grammar in your edit was incorrect. --Bryce talk contributions 20:13, 29 November 2011 (EST)

Warning Template Proposal

• Your proposal, regarding the warning template, has met its deadline. However, it seems that you'll have to extend the deadline, because there's currently a draw with the number of "Semi-Change" and "Don't Change" votes. M&SG (talk) 19:09, 3 December 2011 (EST)

For the record, it's not a two-way tie, but a three-way one. Proposals must pass by a minimum of two votes. Marioguy1 (Talk | Contribs)

I extended the deadline for another week, to give some time for a clear consensus to reach. --Bryce talk contributions 20:02, 3 December 2011 (EST)

RE: Edit-summary on {{News}}

Sorry about that. I acted in a very rushed way which, mistakingly, led me into undo an edit made in good faith. I shouldn't have acted like this — my apologies. I have also found a part of a policy that, while it doesn't state it right out, it kind of implies that it isn't the best and wisest of ideas to undo an Administative and/or a Patroller edit. I will also take the liberty to state something about Talk Page Proposals — custom signatures are allowed in the comment section only, though they are — as I think that you're aware of — always a bad idea to use on the actual Proposals page. Best wishes, RandomYoshi^{(Talk • PMs • C)} 10:41, 8 December 2011 (EST)

I crossed over a part of my reply that really didn't have anything to do with this disscussion. Why did I even say that... RandomYoshi^{(Talk • PMs • C)} 06:18, 9 December 2011 (EST)

My Warnings

Hello. Recently I have been given a few warnings which to me are not all quite fair. Me making links to non-existent titles is a way to show people an article needs to be created for them. As for the discussions, I was wrong to remove some although someone qualified NEEDS to revise them. Also, expanding the article for Wuhu Island by giving a detailed text about it shouldn't be removed and warned about. I thought this Wiki wanted as much info as possible, and Wuhu Island IS related to the Mario-verse. Miis are in the Mario-verse, and Miis are also in Wuhu. Deleting my work was one thing, but giving me a warning was another. I am asking you to please revise at least one of my many recent warnings. Thanks USer:JORDANDEBONO

Your complaints have nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with what you were warned for. You were warned for disrupting, for removing others' comments to add your own all caps screaming, and adding links to non-existent titles which will never be created. If you think that wasn't fair, then ignore the warnings you have been given and be a constructive editor. --Bryce talk contributions 03:41, 10 December 2011 (EST)

OK OK as you say.....thanks for your time anyway. Please remove this query as soon as possible since you have the right to. User:JORDANDEBONO

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (abusing warning privileges) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site. If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

You cannot issue fake warnings to anyone under any circumstances. Doing so falls under abusing warning privileges and is a violation of the rules. Please keep this in mind when editing, and refrain from doing this again in the future.

PHOENIX (talk • edits) 19:24, 15 December 2011 (EST)

Notice: Your Appeal

Your appeal against the warning that Phoenix (talk) issued you is invalid as it breaks Appeals Rule #1: "Reminders and/or Warnings given by an administrator cannot be appealed." Also, from the same Courtesy Policy you cited, please be aware that "if the administrators feel that you should have known better than to act the way you did even without an unofficial request to stop, your warning will not be removed." You should have known better, since in our Warning Policy (which is cited by the Courtesy Policy that you were seemingly reminded about early last month), "abusing warning privileges" is a Level Two Offense and results in a {{Warning}}. · SMB (Talk) · 14:27, 16 December 2011 (EST)
