==Stumpers's Wiki News==
==What Can I Do For You?==
Stumpers's Wiki News is a service provided for users who are interesting in what I'm up to.  Yes, yes!  You're welcome! I'll post any major changes I make and keep you posted on developements regarding my status on the Wiki.  Old news posts can be found [[User:Stumpers/Archive_1|here]].
As a bureaucrat, it is my duty to help users such as yourself with any problems you might have.  This means questions on policy, editing, inter-user issues, and so on. If I do not have an answer, I can direct you to someone who does.  So, fire away by posting on my [[User talk:Stumpers|talk page]], provided your question is not, "How do I post a message on a talk page."


====8 April 2007====
==Subpages==
Today, I found a rewrite I had done of the [[Oho Oasis]] article I had written around Christmas.  I had meant to make a final draft of it and upload it, but the holiday distracted me.  Speaking of, there's a lot more to be had among the mess that is my computer desktop.  I'm finding rewrites that I did a while ago, some of which were uploaded, some of which weren't.  Unfortunately, because I took so long, some of them are now outdated, like the one I did for [[Mario Tennis (N64)|''Mario Tennis'' (N64)]], an article which has been rewritten by another user. Also, [[User:Stooben Rooben|Stooben Rooben]] invited me to do a [[MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/Fake_News#Travel_Guide|Travel Guide]] section for the Fake News. We'll see how that goes!
In addition to my [[User talk:Stumpers|talk page]] and its archives, there are two more pages in my userspace.
*[[User:Stumpers/Stumpers's Wiki News|Stumpers's Wiki News]]: The final resting place of my discontinued feature, "Stumpers's Wiki News." With SWN, I would make a post to inform other users of notable edits I had made that day.  When I grew tired of it, I asked if anyone would mind if I discontinued it.  No one did, so SWN came to an end.
*[[User:Stumpers/Test|Test]]: My test page.  I use it in conjunction with the [[MarioWiki:Proposals|proposals]] page when I need to illustrate what I'm thinking.


There are so many loose ends I've left undone on this Wiki... here's what I can think of:
==Stumpers' Featured Articles==
*''[[Tetris DS]]'' - I left a "to-do" list on the talk page and still need to-do some small things.
[[File:Tetris DS NA Box Art.jpg|thumb|200px|If it weren't for Stumpers, [[Tetris DS|this game's]] article would be merged with [[Game Sightings]], also known as the [[Void]].]]
*[[Donkey Kong]] - I made a big edit to the history section, most of which was undone because of the whole controversy regarding [[Cranky Kong]] being the original Donkey Kong.  However, new sources have confirmed that it is so, and I believe that the rewrite is now applicable again.  I also need to work on updating the "spin-off" information.
*[[Mushroom Kingdom]] - The history section needs sorting into political and recreational events, and there are a few other sections I'll like to add/expand.
*[[Beanbean Kingdom]] - Same as with the Mushroom Kingdom, I feel that there is more I can say.
*[[Masahiro Sakurai]] - My first attempt at citing sources.  Came out terribly, and I need to fix it.
*[[Game Sightings]] - Wow, this page is good in terms of information, but it needs a presentation overhaul, and maybe a rewrite.  I started rewriting this off-Wiki and need to finish.
*[[Birdo (species)]] - There are a few sections I feel should be added or expanded on.
*[[Banana]] - I lost this edit to the wonderful back button of death.  This is why I do most of my big edits on MS Word.  I need to write all of that again...
*[[Peach (item)]] - That appearance section needs to be killed.  [[User:Knife|Knife]] was right, but my self-righteousness got in the way.  I wonder if a list of games it appeared in without the box art and rehashed description would be suitable, though... you know, in the style of the ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' game list.
*[[Peach Blossom]] - I'd like to make some final changes to it and also add the trophy to the article.
*[[Shadow the Hedgehog]] - I've been meaning to make his article more than a bunch of in-game information, but I haven't found the time.
*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]'' - This article was an FA, and then I started expanding the story, but never finished.  Now it's in the FA rotation and it looks unfinished... great, Stumpers, great.  I think I should remove most of the direct quotes, too.  We don't quote every line in the cartoon shows or the movies (heh-heh... I found that out after wasting four hours), after all, so why would games be any different?
*''[[Mario Strikers Charged]]'' - I put in so much work on this article alongside [[User:Coincollector|Coincollector]] and [[User:Fixitup|Fixitup]].  After the game was released, those two continued to expand on the article with the help of other users.  I'd like to honor their work by going through the article one more time and then nominating it for FA.
*[[Mario]] - I've been rewriting the history section, and I need to finish that.  I've also found an old rewrite I was working on for his "sports career" (read: spin-off section).  That could be posted with a little more work, I think.
*[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' (film)]] - I've found a bunch of great sources regarding the movie, now I just need to impliment them.  There's stuff about production, reviews, etc.  I mean, actual reviews, not just the fan-boy statement, "The movie was generally considered to be poor." I also have some fun stuff about what the actors were like off-set.  The guys who did Mario and Luigi really hated the directors!
 
Maybe I'll think of more later, but for now this is going to be way, way, way more than enough to keep me occupied.  Yikes.  Hmm... I believe this is the longest post ever for "Stumpers' Wiki News."
 
====27 March 2007====
Since the patroller rank has been removed, all three of us were promoted to sysops!  That means that you guys can pester me for all of your page deleting and user blocking needs.
 
[http://wii.ign.com IGN Wii] posted a hands-on of ''[[Dr. Mario's Virus Buster]]'', so I have partially Stumpified the article.  I hope to finish it later.
 
====18 March 2007====
There's a website called [http://www.smbmovie.com Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive] that includes tons of information regarding the ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros.]]'' film that we don't have on the Wiki.  I contacted the administrator, Phlibbit, regarding the use of his infromation on our Wiki, and he gave me this responce:
 
"Hey,
 
Thanks for your support! Yeah, that's totally fine citing the website for anything at all. I looked up some info on proper website citations, and this is what I came up with:
 
Super Mario Bros. the Movie Archive. Ed. Hoss, Ryan. 25 Mar. 2007. <nowiki><http://www.smbmovie.com></nowiki>
 
I hope that helps!"
 
Yes it does, Mr. Phlibbit!  After I finish the [[Birdo (species)]] article, I'll take back up the film article(s)... unless something crazy happens or some other article demands immeadiate attention... ugh.  I wish I could be focused!
 
====10 March 2007====
The proposal to split [[Birdo]] into an article about the character and the species passed, so I've been working on an article that you can see now at [[Birdo (species)]].  In the coming days I hope to expand on that article so that it discusses the species in terms of appearance, abilities, life cycle, etc.
 
As an aside, DP and I are considering the creation of a "Cross-Over Species" article that would include information on minor species such as Hedgehogs (Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Mabel and Sabel Able) and Hylians (Link, Zelda, and ''Twilight Princess'' characters).
 
====2 March 2007====
I'M A PATROLLER!!!!  ZOMIGOSH!!!!  RAWR!!!!  PREPARE TO BE STUMP'D!!!!!  Thanks to everyone who supported me without my knowing and everyone who helped me get here... there's too many of you, all making it a great Wiki to contribute to.  I accept this with pride!
 
====?? February 2007====
I should have posted this earlier, but... I've been working on a rewrite to the Mario article.  It includes some non-game stuff that isn't normally in biography sections just to see how it would look.  Give me your imput, and I should have the game stuff up sometime soon.
 
====13 February 2007====
I Stupified as much of the [[Toon Link]] article as I could.  Unfortunately, I couldn't do much because his moveset is unconfirmed.
 
====12 February 2007====
I haven't had much time for major edits lately... so that's why there haven't been any posts.  BUT!  I did up the [[Mario Bros. (stage)]] article in a Stumpification that isn't quite up to my previous work, but there wasn't much information available.  I've also been trying to get the [[Peach (item)]] article up and ready for any criticism that gets thrown on it.
 
====22 January 2007====
[[Masahiro Sakurai]] has been updated to reflect his recent interview... and I stumpified the page while I was at it.
 
====THE PIT====
As new news posts come, each news article is bumped down one slot.  There are ten slots... and then THE PIT!  The tidbit in slot ten above is spazzing out about it right now, actually.  Poor thing.  That's why we have [[User:Stumpers/Archive_1|this page]].  It's the retirement village for my news posts, like those crazy places out in the western USA where little kids aren't allowed to live.

===Stumpification===
This is one of my favorite things to do.  I take an article, gut out its information and completely rewrite if from ground up… in one-to-three edits.  If you feel there is an article in dire need of this, such as one that has the “rewrite and expand” banner at the top, please let me know on my talk page and we can see if I like it.
 
===Peer Edit===
Much different from the Peer Reviews that used to be on the Super Mario Wiki, my peer edit system is my assessment of an article and rewriting where needed.  It’s pretty in-depth.  The difference between Stumpification is that I keep the overall structure of the article unless I feel it really needs to be changed.  I will send you back any recommendations I have for added information.  If there is a peer review page, I will also do one of those if all of the problems I have with the article aren’t already solved.
 
===Random Services===
Feel free to make any strange Wiki-related request you have on my talk page.  I may be able to help.  Also, if you have a need of a writer or a peer editor off-site for one specific task, let me know.  No guarantees, though.

*"Matt" era: Only used for ''Animal Crossing: Wild World'', I called myself this because the in this game your in-game name doubles as your screenname.  So, I could either have the villagers calling me "spazafrazz" or have everyone online know my real first name.  I chose the latter because, seriously, there are about eight million "Matt"s in this world, so why does it ''matt''er?  Yes, you can call me Matt now if you want because you were nice enough to read my page this far down.

*"Whettam" era: Whettam, pronounced "wet ham" is my full first name, Matthew, spelled backwards.  I didn't want to let my Nintendo identity be effected by a name that had, over time, come to bother me.  Whettam is also a character in the fictitious adventures of my family.  The story goes that when I'm in the rain, I automatically assume my secret identity, "Wild pig in the Rain", or "Whettam."  Yeah, pretty mean, if you ask me.  But I'm a good sport, so I let myself be called this and let someone else be named Retep the Remarkable, a muscular, perfect youth who rides a winged horse.  Just wait until the other gods find out his mother is queen of the underworld.  At least as Whettam, my only responsibility is to be back in my clothes when I dry off.

What Can I Do For You?

As a bureaucrat, it is my duty to help users such as yourself with any problems you might have. This means questions on policy, editing, inter-user issues, and so on. If I do not have an answer, I can direct you to someone who does. So, fire away by posting on my talk page, provided your question is not, "How do I post a message on a talk page."

Subpages

In addition to my talk page and its archives, there are two more pages in my userspace.

  • Stumpers's Wiki News: The final resting place of my discontinued feature, "Stumpers's Wiki News." With SWN, I would make a post to inform other users of notable edits I had made that day. When I grew tired of it, I asked if anyone would mind if I discontinued it. No one did, so SWN came to an end.
  • Test: My test page. I use it in conjunction with the proposals page when I need to illustrate what I'm thinking.

Stumpers' Featured Articles

If it weren't for Stumpers, this game's article would be merged with Game Sightings, also known as the Void.

  1. Mama Mario
  2. Tetris DS
  3. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
  4. Mario Strikers Charged
  5. Mushroom Kingdom
  6. Super Mario Bros. Stamps
  7. MC Ballyhoo
  8. Ninja (Final Fantasy)
  9. Vim Factory
  10. Peach Blossom

Do You Know Me on the Internet?

Here are a few of my current aliases. If you see me, drop me a line!

Brief History of Naming

  • "Stumper" era: I named myself after a character I invented for a point-and-click adventure game made with PowerPoint. The reason I chose this was because I couldn't think of a better name.
  • "Stumpers" era: The addition of the "s" to my name was a mistake on my part. The reason behind it is that "Stumpers" refers to the game that the character "Stumper" stars in. Actually, the reason the game wasn't called "Stumper" was a mistake on my part... so it's a mistake based on a mistake.
  • "spazafrazz" era: This was first used for my AIM screenname. I actually thought of a better name this time, because it was after I had been nicknamed "Spaz"... by two separate people independently.
  • "Matt" era: Only used for Animal Crossing: Wild World, I called myself this because the in this game your in-game name doubles as your screenname. So, I could either have the villagers calling me "spazafrazz" or have everyone online know my real first name. I chose the latter because, seriously, there are about eight million "Matt"s in this world, so why does it matter? Yes, you can call me Matt now if you want because you were nice enough to read my page this far down.
  • "Whettam" era: Whettam, pronounced "wet ham" is my full first name, Matthew, spelled backwards. I didn't want to let my Nintendo identity be affected by a name that had, over time, come to bother me. Whettam is also a ficticious character as part of a massive in-joke with my family.

What? You want a reward for reading all of that slop? Whiner. Okay... you can see my favorite Mario Wiki Forum avatar... which Wayoshi banned for being "too creepy".
