Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced. "The" is a determiner that should be used when you're referring to something specific that was already mentioned, and you use "a" when introducing new things. (For example, you don't use it for [[Special:Diff/3469908|"the rats"]] or [[Special:Diff/3469799|"the soccer ball"]], because we didn't know these existed beforehand, so it should be just "rats" and "'''a''' soccer ball". In a sentence like, "There is a ? Block ahead. '''The''' ? Block contains a coin," you'd use "the" because it's referring to a specific ? Block we knew about.) {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 06:22, September 26, 2021 (EDT) | Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced.

Hello, Pierce Ng. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly categorize the file. It's simple to learn how to do so. Just search for the correct category by starting with the following groups:
When uploading, copy the full title of the category and insert it in square brackets into the summary text box below the {{aboutfile}} template, replacing the {{uncategorized}} template entirely. If you're using the upload function from the text editor, simply add the category link to the description. For example, images related to the game Super Mario World would use: [[Category:Super Mario World images]]or one it its subcategories. Media files would use: [[Category:Super Mario World media files]] Please consider the above information before uploading more files. Keep in mind that some files can belong to multiple categories. Do not put images into the media files category, or vice versa. If you continue uploading files without categorizing them correctly, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |

Hello, Pierce Ng. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must correctly use the {{aboutfile}} template. What you were doing looks like this, and it is an inconvenience for other users to fix up the template. It is simple to learn how to format it correctly. The pre-loaded syntax is shown below. {{aboutfile
|1=Subject of the image
|2=Where you found the image
|3=Artist
|4=Describe edits, if any
|5=Other versions (use file link)
}}
Just replace the necessary parts with that corresponding information, and remove the entire line for the parameter(s) you don't use. A description of the image subject (parameter |
Please do not leave the summaries unfilled. New uploads need to have the relevant details filled in and a category added as described above.

Hello, Pierce Ng. Good job on your recent uploads, but when uploading files, keep in mind that you must apply the proper license. The following are the most common:
When uploading, select the license from the drop-down menu below the summary text box. Don't tag a file with multiple copyright templates; choose the one that best fits the file. Please consider the above information before uploading more files. If you continue uploading files without applying the correct license, then a warning will be issued. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing. |
You are still not categorizing the files correctly and you're not giving them licenses too. Or an aboutfile summary.

Files from the wiki
Since this is the first time I am editing the photo, how about something that I need to help such as licenses. Pierce Ng (talk) 19:37, September 18, 2021 (EDT)Pierce Ng
Prezzy appearances
You're going too far with the microgame appearances. Yes, the Prezzies come from microgames, but that doesn't mean listing every single microgame that has that object in some form (like listing "Super Mario Land" for a generic mushroom). There are microgames that prominently feature these specific Prezzies in these specific designs - we should be listing those microgames only. Mario JC 08:27, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
Show preview
If you're trying something out like a gallery and want to see what it looks like, preview it first by clicking on the "Show preview" button rather than saving the edit multiple times, otherwise it floods the recent changes and history pages. That way if it doesn't work, you can go back and fix it before publishing the edit. Help:Gallery explains how to make a gallery. Mario JC 22:31, September 19, 2021 (EDT)
Broken file links
Don't add links to files that don't exist until they've been uploaded. Mario JC 22:59, September 20, 2021 (EDT)
Trivia
Please double-check facts and in-game content before adding points like these next time. These points saying something is the second/third/etc. become less noteworthy the further they go anyway, so it'd be better to avoid adding such points altogether. Mario JC 09:35, September 24, 2021 (EDT)
"The"
Don't use the word "the" to refer to something that was never introduced. "The" is a determiner that should be used when you're referring to something specific that was already mentioned, and you use "a" when introducing new things. (For example, you don't use it for "the rats" or "the soccer ball", because we didn't know these existed beforehand, so it should be just "rats" and "a soccer ball". In a sentence like, "There is a ? Block ahead. The ? Block contains a coin," you'd use "the" because it's referring to a specific ? Block we knew about.) Mario JC 06:22, September 26, 2021 (EDT)
