I wish you can read what has been said here, Walkazo (talk). I really wish you did. RIP Walkazo December 16, 1991 - March 27, 2016.

Questions

I'll be more than happy to answer any questions related to homebrew/riivolution hacking (includes Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and general sound replacements). I get a ton of those regularly, so don't be shy to ask me if you have problems or if you're interested in installing homebrew on your Wii, as well as making model replacements. If you're also interested in porting assets for Source, as in Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, or Gmod, I can help there too.

Policy on projects

I don't mind if you help participate in any my projects without contacting me first as long as you're not actively edit-sniping me as I write articles or add uploaded images to tables as I'm uploading them, because this creates edit conflicts and makes it even harder for me to save edits on articles I'm working on. However, it's generally still polite to ask first if it's ok to assist in my projects. The answer will be yes unless otherwise stated. I just don't want anyone edit-snipe police for me should someone else create articles out of red links that I was planning to create or create tables of items that I was about to create. Any help is very appreciated.

Rules

Please leave all new comments on the bottom of this page, or click that "+" sign for a new header.
Please type your best English here. Typing like a semi-literate boob will make me treat you like a semi-literate boob.
I strongly encourage you to read these pages before you ask me (or others) help with Wiki syntax, but I'll most likely help with your problems anyway.
Please use common sense. If you think what you wrote in my talk page is inappropriate, chances are, it is.
This also applies to courtesy. Please be courteous and kind at all times.
I do not take any requests of any sort. I'm far too busy to please everyone, and while I do have an attitude that wants to please everyone, it's not feasible to do so.
1. THIS INCLUDES FRIEND REQUESTS. If you want to be my friend, talk to me and stuff like that. Friendship isn't a thing to be accepted or rejected, it's earned. Like trust. I will not bite you if you casually talk to me, I promise.
Think something I did is wrong and incorrect? It is fine to discuss it here in a peaceful manner. Insulting me or calling me out because I did something you don't like obviously violates a MarioWiki policy and you could get warned for it depending on the severity of it. Wouldn't it be just easier to just...discuss it? I won't bite if you don't provoke me.
Don't bother if you're gonna troll here: the edit is gonna get reverted instantly anyway so no one will see it. I'm already trained enough to ignore idiots thanks to my experience here.
If I tell you to stop doing something (eg leaving random messages on my talk page), it's probably because you're annoying me. Please don't continue leaving messages that I don't care to reply to.

The Bestiary Proposal

You voted for this proposal back in January, and I'm working on a new proposal to expand on it. If you'd be so kind as to give me some feedback on my proposal before I post it?-- 00:11, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Baby Luigi in Sports Mix

Ah, I sent you a reply on the marioboards but just to be sure you will see it I will copy and paste here :v

unbanned? OMG Thank you *cheers* Oh, that's bad...Oh, if you want I can give you help to make this :O I just made a "Mind Map" inside my mind to record how to make this correctly XD Do you by chance know/can add me on anychat or something like that that we can talk together

Cheers! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

No, I don't hve a Steam account, sorry, DO you have a account for Skype, Discord or something like that? If not, no problem, I guess I could send you messages rought the mario boards but it'd be slower...User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Yay! I have to add you (your sister) later :D I cant talk to you atm because I have some work (build a wall) to do...Maybe later on the afternoon I can call you ^^' I'd love to lead a hand ^^' User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Oh, I cant find your sister on Skype...Would you mind asking her if she could give me her discord ID (it is a 4 number code like #xxxx)....Thanks! User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

By that I mean

By that I mean that the original form of the blurb was put there by an admin and was reinstated each time someone took it off by an admin. The blurb is worded differently now but it's the same meaning.

Just because an admin did it doesn't mean there can be room for improvement. All this sentence does is state the obvious; we already have the "articleabout" template on the very top of the page that highlights their distinction, and stating this is just repeating what has already been stated.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 15:20, 27 November 2016 (EST)

Alright. Thank you for your time. I just was putting it back because some people still get confused because of Paper Jam's existence.

Finally

Those idiots finally found a transparent version of this filthy artwork.

I hope you are happy, you smelly Baby Luigi fan.

Re:LTIan

This is about the user page, no? Ultimate Mr. L (talk) calling his user page disturbing is kind of an extreme way to look at it. If LTIan (talk) were doing these actions outside the user page, yes, get on the ban hammer because any wiki thrives on cooperativeness as he doesn't possess it in any capacity. I already see he has had several warnings and bans about being combative with other users, trying to override other people and asserting that he is always right by committing his edits. I see his user page once had something about hating YoshiKong (talk). He didn't explain why but whatever and was since removed. If he provided critique or evaluation rather than blanket statements declaring something is better or bad, yeah, maybe it would have a reason to stay. I can see that he is trying to defame others, just in more discrete ways. It's borderline going against policy, at least the current state of his user page or any statement he says claiming he hate this place. Not quite in violation but enough to set off some flags. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:16, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Hi!

I think you remember me from RVLution, right? ~ SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Yeah, but by any chance, I have no 100% who did it. But I'm quite sure is, I can't say his/her name on here for sure. I mean, I was wrong for calling people names and I get banned for that. Was it my fault that the RVLution was down because they tried to get rid of me including you guys? Look at me, I looked down through with my eyes at the floor and seen that got taken down. First of all, I want to say that you were a good staff after all to be honest! By the way, I wanna ask, how's RoadrunnerWMC doing today? :) ~SmithJrBlaquaLuigi

Images from a while ago

I noticed you uploaded the following images from around three years ago:

DaisyBabyLugi.png
BabyManBabyGuyDD.png

In a message to M&SG (talk), you said you had cheat codes on or something when you took these images. The last one isn't really being used anywhere other than Gallery:Baby Mario and the first one is fine, so it's more the second one I'm worried about, as that image is being used on the Heart (item), Heart Coach, and Mushroom City pages. Should it be reuploaded as it's showing a normally impossible circumstance? I know it's possible to get anyone's special item in Battle Mode, but this is during a standard race. Perhaps reupload the image on a battle course or with Peach or Daisy in the kart instead? 17:51, 8 December 2016 (EST)

Actually, on second thought, it is possible to get the Heart item as Mario or Luigi on two-player mode. The back player just has to attack someone holding the item to steal it. Guess the image is totally fine. :P

15:06, 10 December 2016 (EST)

Well, like I said, all of them are actually possible to do (just took me a while to find that out). Though I understand if you'd want to avoid future confusion.

UV map crap

You might want to check out why that was changed to "unsure". Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:40, 11 December 2016 (EST)

I don't think {{pd-self}} is right for File:MKDDglitch -BabyLuigiUVMap.png‎ and File:MKDDglitch -BabyMarioUVMap.png because the tool you used is viewing copyrighted assets. That's why I tagged as {{don't know}} instead. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:43, 11 December 2016 (EST)

OK, never mind. You changed the license. It's better, but not 100% sure that's where it goes. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:47, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Well, the license talked about homemade sprites and that's the closest thing I find that can be used to describe this, as it's not 100% the official texture, it's a transformation version of it, with the stretching, palette, and the UV coordinates on top of it.

New 3DS Exploit

soundhax - So far, only works on N3DS latest firmware. It looks like O3DS is in the works. Looks like a primary entry point. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:56, 28 December 2016 (EST)

It looks like its available for O3DS now too. If you have the cartridge version of Paper Jam, I'd love to know if it works with HANS.--

17:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

I was going to say. Anyways, this one is a bit more elaborate to setup but should still be doable. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:22, 29 December 2016 (EST)

Re:Create a template for proposal outcomes

I've started another proposal that expands upon your proposal from about eight months ago. You may vote on it if you want, but the one thing I want you to take away from it is that nothing from the aforementioned proposal will be changed at all. ^(T|C) 18:16, 31 December 2016 (EST)

Voted in it already, but thanks for addressing a hole from my previous proposal.

RE: FA Archives

Done. L 151

Why would you delete my picture?

Why did you delete the picture of Donkey Kong in his P-Wing I uploaded? You just did that because you don't like him, didn't you? --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 14:41, 7 January 2017 (EST)

no, I deleted it because it adds nothing to the article. We already have two gameplay screenshots of the P-Wing, a front view and a back view, and I uploaded those images before you did. We don't need redundant images in this wiki.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 21:31, 7 January 2017 (EST)

Additionally, the image in question Template:Plainlink and was replaced with this image of DK on the Pipe Frame.

Mario Strikers Artwork

Would you or someone else be willing to upload a version of Peach and Waluigi's artworks from Super Mario Strikers with a transparent background so as to replace the older JPEG versions? We need consistency amongst the character artworks. I'd upload one myself, but it has very bad/pixelated transparency. --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 20:07, 19 January 2017 (EST)

It would be better to wait until official versions with transparency are released somewhere.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 01:48, 20 January 2017 (EST)

LAN image

I couldn't find a good template to try to get someone to replace the image so it's entirely in English, so the image-quality one was the best choice from the ones I could find from the templates category page. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 23:25, 5 February 2017 (EST)

The best option is to just leave it as it is. I couldn't even find a video about LAN play otherwise, they're hard to come across.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 00:13, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Featured articles

I left a message on your project talk page showing support for your proposed FA archiving system. Are you planning on creating a proposal on the matter sometime soon? ^(T|C) 19:40, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Heh, that's alright. I have plans to make each column sortable as well, so I'll just continue to read the archive categories. Nonetheless, thanks for the help.

^(T|C) 09:37, 9 February 2017 (EST)

I already have them arranged initially by the time nominated (although this might cause inconsistencies with time zones, but we can deal with that later on), but the reason I'm not making subheaders for the years is because some users may try to organize the headers alphabetically to find a particular article nomination.

^(T|C) 13:01, 9 February 2017 (EST)

If that's the case, then I say we reorganize the categories so that their alphabetical arrangement is consistent. The current setup makes it harder to navigate; you can look at Category:FA failure archives as an example of my point. The first six archives listed there are already problematic. The Blooper nomination is listed before the Bike nomination, and the second and third nominations of Baby Mario are listed around the third nomination for Boo, and the Paper Mario bestiary nomination is listed between the second Baby Mario nomination and the Bike nomination! Reorganizing these archives may require admin intervention (since they're, well, archives) but that might be a good start for fixing up the actually totally-out-of-shape Featured Articles archives.

^(T|C) 13:45, 9 February 2017 (EST)

That sounds like a good idea. Though I can tell you at least two things that I feel need to be addressed:

The nomination number. What I mean by that is, was the nomination first/second/third/whatever for that particular article? If you take a look at my table, you might understand what I mean.
An extensive color code, which, again, I have included in my table. I feel that it might be important so that users don't just assume right off the bat that an article is featured/unfeatured when it in fact had its FA status changed. I also decided on the color scheme I implemented to remain consistent with the Proposals archive.

Yes, I will definitely edit your table to the best of my ability. Perhaps we might be closer than we think to proposing this...

^(T|C) 14:43, 9 February 2017 (EST)

Something's wrong

In both of the pictures in What Goes Up..., Wario is not seen in last place. Take a better picture lol

Image Fixing

I guess you can use Homebrew on your 3DS? If so, remember, you uploaded these:

--Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 18:59, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Definitely.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:00, 12 March 2017 (EDT)

Good work. More clean-up related to golf scoring (Bogey, Birdie, Par, etc.):

Now for a separate upload: File:MSS Tennis CSS.jpeg (not needed because File:MSSBaseballCSS.png?) --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:43, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

Sure I can do Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach's stuff. However, the tennis CSS has PGP and Metal Mario unlocked. I have yet to unlcok Metal Mario in baseball, so I guess the tennis one will do.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 17:58, 14 March 2017 (EDT)

You're doing other images too that are not from the recent 3DS release? I wanted those to be overwritten too when I was doing Bogey for Mario Golf (Nintendo 64) with high quality replacements but had no idea who to turn to. Now I know and I appreciate your effort to get those images replaced. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 04:45, 16 March 2017 (EDT)

Why thanks a lot for the remark! Fortunately, since HANs works in my 3DS, I can now retake Mario Party: Star Rush screenshots. This might take a while to get to @.@

Mario Sports Superstars

Do you know the people that edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page? Do you know who enables people to edit the ===Mario Sports Superstars=== page. If so, could I have access to edit that page?
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by MarioSportsSuperstars (talk).

You have to make five edits and wait four days to be "autoconfirmed." Autoconfirmed users can edit more pages, like Mario Sports Superstars. Sorry for the inconvenience. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:35, 18 March 2017 (EDT)

To answer that first question, 90% of the work on the Mario Sports Superstars page is my own mostly because typically, these pages don't get that much attention, so I felt like I had to step in (and because I loved the game a lot) to do much of the work. If you want suggestions on how to improve the page while you wait to be autoconfirmed, try speaking to me or posting it on a talk page.
