Sorry to bother you, but a different sysop redirected me here. About promotions, it seems like there have been a lot recently(although 3 were caused by the abolition of patrollerhood). I'm not in a hurry or anything, or saying that someone should be promoted sooner. But I was just wondering when the next promotion would be. Should a rule be made about a limit for promotions per month (As in a proposal)? Anyway, I was just wondering. Thanks. {{User:Garlic Man/sig}}

:No. Who becomes sysop or not is decided explicitely by Bureaucrats. It's the only reason for their rank and cannot be passed to someone else. Proposals like this are banned. The MarioWiki is not a democracy after all, and also not trying to be. Bureaucrats in turn only exist because the site leader can't do all he would like to. The next Sysop will be chosen, quite simply, when the bureaucrats (me, RAP, Porplemontage) feel like it.
:It's of course not a completely random decision either. After the recent numbers of promotions, I decided to wait for a while until the next. I don't know what other Bureaucrats want to do though. And any good user with fair contributions can anticipate the job in the meanwhile. ;) - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 13:48, 30 April 2008 (EDT)

Loading times?

My user page takes overly long to load. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem? YouTube videos, DPL scripts? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:42, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Same thing happens to me. Maybe even longer; it's just because you have a lot of images, text, and all that stuff. Marcelagus (TCE)

very well

very well when I have time I shall water it down. However i believed you could put what u want on ur talk page, including ur own personal opinions, was that not the essence of it? but i shall water it down. X06 20:46, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

favor

That Garlic Man fellow and 1 other or so keep undoing around half of my edits, even when they are good edits, simply for the sake of doing so, perhaps cause they dislike me. plz correct them for doing this and ask them to consult with sysops b4 undoing perfectly good edits for no reason whatsoever.

Request

Hey, this seems like a dumb request, but... Apparently, my Shaymin sig image is linked to more pages than my Regigigas sig image... I've grown curious why that is. I believe some Users might've used it without my permission. So, this may be a big request, but could you please check it out for me? I have to go now, so I can't check myself. Sorry. My Bloody Valentine

What's the big deal? You haven't created those images. Would be waste of server space to make other users upload the very same image under a different name. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:08, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Ehhhhhh... I guess. But, isn't the point of personal images to have images meant for use by you only? :| My Bloody Valentine

We even have a rule book for that. I went through the list of usages of the shaymin image and I didn't find anything suspicious. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:13, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

...Sometimes I question why I'm a Sysop. >_> Never mind, thanks. It was a stupid request, anyway. My Bloody Valentine I'll just go play Metroid Prime.

User:Mariowiki/Sig has both of your images, by the way, and it's too big, so you can tell the user off anyway. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:16, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Mkay. Thanks. OK, I've disobeyed my parents orders long enough. Time for me to go! ;; My Bloody Valentine

Forums

Cobold, I need your help on how to post a poll on the forums. Could you please tell me how? I desperately need to know for the Fake News. — Stooben Rooben I don't know my way around the forum at all.

No idea, I'm not even a member of the forum. Generally, it is somewhere among the start-new-thread options. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:48, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
Okay, thanks. I'll see if I can do it now. — Stooben Rooben
Excellent! I found it! Thank you so much! — Stooben Rooben

Boredom...

Since I'm so very bored, and haven't talked to you in a while, I decided to drop by and say hi. So... HI! Still waiting for Super Smash Bros. Brawl... GAH, freakin' PAL delays! >> Speaking of which, hope you get a Wii soon! Otherwise... Well, what's the point of buying Brawl without a Wii? :P Hope we get to fight each other one day! >:) My Bloody Valentine Updates are ending April 14th. Two updates left, and they BETTER BE GOOD!

True. The lag we'll get when playing from across the world will be tremendous. So long as it works, however. I suck at SSB, however, so don't think beating me is an accomplishment. :P And, I suppose so... I'm still hoping for something good. Hopefully some release dates will be revealed, but I'm not counting on that. :( My Bloody Valentine Have you seen Nintendo of Australia's page on SSBB? LOL, its AWESOME! XD But, I have to go now, sorry. :'(

OK, now THAT review was horrible. Its a joke review, isn't it? No one would go on about the game like that. NO ONE! I mean, c'mon, even Uniju liked Brawl! And he hates SSB! My Bloody Valentine

List of users

Hey Cobold where can I go to find a list of users here?F gLarrynana.gif

Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 16:28, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

Why his IP again and not someone else's? I know we can't do anything, I just wanted to let you know I confirmed this is the same guy... Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 16:35, 14 April 2008 (EDT)

smokes

it seems there is an user nicknamed smoke, who is creating too many accounts here ¢oincollctor rsitem209.png you should block by sockpuppetry... you can look that in "recent changes" page

Yeah, I noticed and he already started making jokes on my cost, as expected. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:30, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Signature

I was wondering if my signature was violating any rules? I didn't think it was, but I wanted to ask. — Stooben Rooben I don't want to break the rules.

Thanks. — Stooben Rooben

Excuse Me?

Um it offends me but you can do whatever you want to do.F gLarrynana.gif

It's there to offend you. When you get annoyed, you've done all he wants. That's called feeding the trolls. It's only a name, it doesn't hurt anyone. When you ignore it, he doesn't get the attention he wants. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:51, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Yo!

I made these a while ago, but, w/e. Just wanted to show off to you. :P In case you don't know, I made you in Sonic form. And I thought you'd work best as a robot, lol. XD So I picked the obscure Sonic character, E-102 Gamma. You don't care, I know, but I suppose you'd appreciate sprite quality? :) My Bloody Valentine

Lol, yeah. E-102 Gamma only made a major appearance in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Battle. Most other appearances were as a mass-produced line of robots that acted as enemies. I don't like him, really, but still. :P I just wanted to show you for the heck of it. Lol. XP My Bloody Valentine

Hey, Cobold. Just so you know, there's a guy, probably Smoke, who says he's a troll. Homer (talk). Just look at the bottom of my talk page for full details. He's probably harmless, but I just thought I'd report it. ;) BLOC PARTIER.

NVM, it was KP Shadow. See the (funny) details here. BLOC PARTIER.

Agreement

Hi! I was just wondering if we could come to an agreement on Baby Daisy's relationship section, While I, along with a few other people think the section should stay, you, along with a few other people think it should go. We should come to an agreement whether or not the section should stay on the page. Thanks, and sorry for getting mad at you about all this. =) -Moonshine

images

okay!, then I must erase 14 images, but I have seen many users who have many images and they do not say anything to them, and like example a user have a 30 images of kittens and the user Koopa Troopa, as you can explain this?please!

---Birdoshi---

fix my new user name

Having a user name starting with a small letter is not possible. Would you still be okay with the new name being "Game over 'shroom"? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:58, 26 April 2008

yes it's okay Chain chomp1 23:03, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

I was bored, so...

Hey Cobold! Just decided to say hi, since I haven't done so in a while. OK, I messaged you a few days back, but only to show off sprites. :P So, what's new? I'm getting worried that I'm becomming too inactive to be a Sysop... D: I must fix that, and quickly! *goes to search for things that need maintenance*. :P What's happening on your side of the world? q: My Bloody Valentine

Well, yeah, that kinda sucks... You really need a Wii. :( I'm getting MKWii next week, but only to have a decent Wi-Fi Wii game. I don't really care for the Mario Kart series. :| I might start playing my other games later; Including Sonic Mega Collection. :) As for Wiki work, I know! Its like there's nothing to do anymore! All I can do is maintenance, which is something I can't do heavily on a daily basis. :( I have to find something to fix, and quick! Even though I'm going fishing soon after I write this message. :P My Bloody Valentine

images part 2

--Mauj.gif 21:01, 27 April 2008 (EDT)Hi! hey!no encounter the user of 30 images of kittens, but I swear, the user he is real,but I will find that user. By the honor, By the family and by the donuts! And the user Koopa Troopa, he have more images why?

Sysop

Sorry to bother you, but a different sysop redirected me here. About promotions, it seems like there have been a lot recently(although 3 were caused by the abolition of patrollerhood). I'm not in a hurry or anything, or saying that someone should be promoted sooner. But I was just wondering when the next promotion would be. Should a rule be made about a limit for promotions per month (As in a proposal)? Anyway, I was just wondering. Thanks. Marcelagus (TCE)

No. Who becomes sysop or not is decided explicitely by Bureaucrats. It's the only reason for their rank and cannot be passed to someone else. Proposals like this are banned. The MarioWiki is not a democracy after all, and also not trying to be. Bureaucrats in turn only exist because the site leader can't do all he would like to. The next Sysop will be chosen, quite simply, when the bureaucrats (me, RAP, Porplemontage) feel like it.
It's of course not a completely random decision either. After the recent numbers of promotions, I decided to wait for a while until the next. I don't know what other Bureaucrats want to do though. And any good user with fair contributions can anticipate the job in the meanwhile. ;) - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:48, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
