Revision as of 07:48, May 6, 2014

Hi, and welcome to my talk page! Feel free to ask me anything you like, from how far I am in a game, if I like a game, and, of course, anything Wiki-Related. Please keep in mind the rules, though, or ELSE. And, trust me, you don't want to anger The Blue Lightning.

Rules

1. No Swearing.

I know that some people swear occasionally and stuff, but I'm highly against it, and don't want to see it on my talk page.

2. Be Polite.

Aside from swearing, I don't want people saying things like 'You're an idiot.' or 'Luigi sucks, stop liking dumb characters.' and other things that I ain't mentioning.

3. No Overly-Large Images.

Pretty self explanatory, make sure they aren't bigger than the page, or it screws up the page. Same goes for tables.

Any violation of these rules, and I will edit your post and You will get IT. Any accidents though, I should be O.K. Now, go ahead and message me!

Image help

Good job on uploading this image, but let me give you a few tips.

You uploaded that image without giving it a name; it just showed up as "Image.jpg". It's very important that every picture you upload, no matter what, has a name, otherwise we won't be able to tell what the image is for. If a picture is just called "Image.jpg" but it's a picture of some obscure character, we wouldn't know what it's for, or from, right? It just causes unnecessary confusion. I renamed your image to "MK8BlueShellTrophy.jpg" for you, so you don't have to worry about that, but keep this in mind the next time you upload an image.

Another thing I wanted to talk to you about is image size. The pictures on your userpage are very large, but there's a simple way to make them smaller. When you just type in the name of a large image (for example, [[File:Pprbwsr.png]]), the resulting image...

File:Pprbwsr.png

...is very large. But, adding a simple code to the file link can make it much smaller. Let me show you.

Just typing in [[File:Pprbwsr.png]] results in the large image above. But, adding the code "|300px" after the image type (in this case .png) would result in...

File:Pprbwsr.png

...a much smaller picture. Let me show you the exact way to do it.

[[File:(image name and type here)|300px]]
example; [[File:Pprbwsr.png|300px]]

Now, the 300 part doesn't have to be just 300; it can be any whole number smaller than the full length or width (whichever is bigger; in this case, 1464) of the picture. Smaller numbers = smaller pictures.

I hope you find this information useful, and send me a message if you have more questions. Thank you, and welcome to the wiki! LB (talk • edits • forum) 03:17, 8 March 2014 (EST)

Wow, ok. I'll do that tommorow. Thanks for the tips. And I didn't notice not nameing the Blue Shell Trophy, so double thanks. - Ninelevendo, the Blue Lightning! (talk)

Oh, and something I forgot to mention; when you move an image to a new name, mark the old image name for deletion by putting the {{delete}} template at the top of the page. L ORD BOW SER

Scrolling pictures

Adding a scrolling picture is actually much easier than it looks. This is the code you have to use;

<div style="position:fixed; top:###px; right:###px;">Put in whatever you'd like, such as an image or text, here.</div>

Now, at the parts where there's 3 #'s in a row are where numbers are supposed to be; it means how many pixels away the topmost and rightmost parts of the picture are from the top and right edges of your screen. You could also change "top" to "bottom" and "right" to "left"; then it'd be how many pixels away from those edges.

Message me if you have more questions; I'm glad I can help! LB (talk • edits • forum) 02:44, 12 March 2014 (EDT)

Your personal image

I've noticed that you've been trying to make your personal image transparent; however, your image is in .jpg format, which doesn't support transparency. You need to convert your image to .png format, then it'll be transparent. LB (talk • edits • forum) 02:14, 14 March 2014 (EDT)

Ohhhh....... Right... Thanks again. I'll see if I can make it png. - Ninelevendo, the Blue Lightning! (talk)

Remix

No, don't smart-mouth me into thinking you know exactly what a remix is. You're thinking of the layman version of remix; the version where it's a completely new recording of music. It's actually called a "cover version". Please refer to here and here before you go argue with me what a remix actually is. Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:55, 24 March 2014 (EDT)

So, I do the normal thing by talking and saying 'remix' instead of using the term 'cover' that not many people understand. Just because I used the casual term for cover doesn't mean you can get angry at people and call them idiots. I haven't seen anything positive come from your posts yet, and it's getting close to Cyberbullying for my liking. Please talk a little bit more nicely. -

17:43, 24 March 2014 (EDT)

Assuming that "not many other people understand" doesn't make the term any more technically correct either way or another. A term being considered "layman" doesn't make it any more correct than a technically correct term. And since when did I call you an idiot. I simply stated that it's not a remix, then you decide to argue with me saying, "yes it is a remix", thus that's how you provoked me into saying the response. And are you seriously ----ing accusing me of cyberbullying? I don't get angry for no reason, and you making these sort of assumptions, especially accusing me of being a cyber-bully and also saying that "nothing nice comes out of me" is a surefire way to piss me off.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 19:37, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

You just need to remember that real emotions can't be read from words on a website. The only emotion you've seem to admit, in my opinion anyway, is anger. Plus if everybody else took into account that the guy who made the original post was referring to the 'layman' term of cover to remix, just go with it. You don't need to be 'Miss Perfect' when it comes to discussions. -

19:50, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

But it's NOT correct. That's a fact. I'm not trying to be nitpicky here: encyclopedias are supposed to give reliable information. WIKIPEDIA uses the word "cover version" to describe contemporary recording of older music. Professional artists use the word "cover version" to describe the same. The word "remix" is used in professional song titles which the music is essentially the same but with an added tempo or beats. I didn't even address it directly: I was merely informing the poster in terms of sub headers that it technically isn't correct; my problem is that you simply just refute my claim thinking that you understand what I'm talking about and that I'm blatantly wrong, even though I have [researched the term and had a discussion with the admins, with it being part of the official policy page. Attempting to argue further at this point isn't helping your case even further, and accusing me of being "Miss Perfect" when all I've been trying to do is inform people the actual correct usage that professionals use is even hurting your argument.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:06, 1 April 2014 (EDT)

That still doesn't mean that you say I'm dumb in the fact that you assume I don't know things. You only need to be a perfectionist when something's wrong on the article, not the discussion. Let's end it here. This argument isn't getting the Wiki anywhere, so it's pointless. -

Sigfix

Dear Ninelevendo,

Your current signature is in violation of one or more of the rules listed on MarioWiki:Signatures. Please change your signature and keep the regulations and requirements in mind when creating future designs. If you have not made the appropriate changes within one week of receiving this notice, your signature will be changed for you.

Your signature is supposed to fit inside that box, please move the text up a bit, and resize the image, thanks. Yoshi876 (talk)

It is inside the box, I don't see a problem.

It was, I changed it about a week ago. Don't worry, it's fine. -

Tennis court articles

Hello. Do the tennis court articles you recently created have any relevance to the plot of Mario Tennis (Game Boy Color)? Yoshi876 (talk)

Not really, they're exhibition only things. I don't remember what you vs Mario on though, but I'm pretty sure it's the castle court. -

05:27, 12 April 2014 (EDT)

Oh no wait I checked. You vs Mario and Peach on the castle court. The others are exhibition only. -

RE:Mario Tennis Stuff

I don't have any of the necessary games to do I'm afraid. What you're doing is fine though bar some wiki coding stuff, but just look at what I've done to the article and basically duplicate that into the new ones. I'll fix some stuff though if you need it. Yoshi876 (talk)

Thanks, but I've noticed that you have Mario Power Tennis and Mario Tennis Open. Do you think you could help with grass court or something like that? Because you seem good at getting images off the Wii. Otherwise it's alright, I'm just getting confused about the courses section of Mario Tennis (series), because they all go to different pages. Do you have any idea why that is? -

07:54, 13 April 2014 (EDT)

They were linked to different things, I have sorted it now. I figured you were more interested in the red links, I'll see what I can do from the games, but don't expect much. Yoshi876 (talk)

Thanks, your more of a help than you think you are. :) And yes, making red links seems rather satisfying. -

Apology

I'm very sorry for yelling and criticizing at you recently. How I acted is not very professional at all nor it is representative of how I really am. That day I yelled at you for the remix thing, I felt like absolute trash that day already, and I don't really mean anything I said. You had nothing to do with making me angry, it's just one of my many mood swings. Basically, it's my anger that's speaking for me, it's not really me. I'm really not a bad person by any means, I just get really uncontrollable when I'm pissed off. You're a good faith user that makes good edits; you're not cockroaches that are the vandals. Keep on making good edits, and keep contributing. Ray Trace^(T|C) 22:08, 14 April 2014 (EDT)

Hey, it's fine, if anything I overreacted a little bit. It takes a good person to apologise, and I probably should too. So I'm sorry if I hurt you or made you angry in any way, you're actually a better user than me in terms of experience. Plus you also make some great images and contributions, so you can say that you're professional in a way. -

Well it's me who overreacted too. I hope we don't go into this silly nonsense again because frankly, it's better if we both work together than have some sort of stupid grudge and shouting matches. Not good for the wiki. I feel much better now than I did yesterday or several days ago (yesterday because the only thing I ate the entire day was one apple until dinner so that could explain my mood though I didn't realize it until after I ate dinner). Well, go ahead and replace the pictures. Disregard what I said in my edit summary, it's me being crazy and red. But again, I prefer png over jpg because screenshots. I said this already in my talk page so yeah. Again, I'm very sorry for whatever I said to you and I hope we can work together rather than against each other.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 10:05, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

You're right, we should work together instead of against each other. I was also thinking that we can keep the Baby Mario Final Cup image, because you probably want to show how cool Baby Mario is and that sort of thing, so I'll replace the Mushroom Cup one instead. I'll make the image png when I get access to a computer, because my phone doesn't do png. Any suggestions with the character I should use? I am replacing your image, after all. And no, you didn't overreact, I probaly looked like I was insulting you about the remix thing. So sorry about that, as I can tell you took it offensively. -

17:15, 15 April 2014 (EDT)

Anyone ~~who's not Yoshi~~ is fine for me.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:48, 16 April 2014 (EDT)

Hé, in case you're wondering, I'm Baby Luigi's identical twin sister. I just want to pop in and say hi. My sister might seem cold and mean ~~and stupid~~, but she's sweet as a plumberry if you really get to know her. She's just a really sensitive user that lets mood swings get the better of her, so I told her to stop with those edit summaries. I don't know if I helped or not, but she seemed to get my message and understand what she has done. I don't want you two to become bitter enemies; that's not good for the upkeep of the wiki nor for your mental health. Seeing that you guys have pretty much reconciled, I hope you two get on a better relationship and maybe become friends. Thanks, and take care. It's me, Mario!

Oh, thanks! :)

RE: Personal SandBox

It's actually pretty simple; you just create a sub page, which is done by adding a / and a word or two to describe the page, in my case "Work" so if you went with that word too, you'd have to create a page called "User:Ninelevendo/Work". Normally to create the page, you'd have to type the page you want to make in the search bar, but to simplify things I used a red link so if you want the Work title like me, feel free to click on it and start creating the page. Hope this helps. :) Icemario (talk)

Tanks a lot. Now I can Finally start some projects. :) -

Images request

I have seen you been uploading decent screenshots of 3DS titles, good job. Could you also provide better quality of Wiggler's Diary. L 151

Yeah sure, may take a while though. You do better images than me in most instances though. Should be up in an hour or two. -

01:55, 25 April 2014 (EDT)

There we go. All are at my standard now. Sorry if it isn't good enough for you. -

Re:Images

That? Oh I took it with a capture card device while I was playing it. It's not the best quality though. If you're seeking quality like this one, it's taken by an emulator, Dolphin Emulator specifically.

You can download the Homebrew Channel off here. Unless the download is broken? Ray Trace^(T|C) 14:06, 26 April 2014 (EDT)

I never bothered with Dolphin, tried it once, but I got most of the games on my Wii anyway. Where did you get the capture card? Sounds interesting. Thanks for the Homebrew link, I've seriously looked it up everywhere, but the website was invalid it something. So thanks. -

17:21, 26 April 2014 (EDT)

I don't know, I'm pretty sure you can buy a capture a capture card from any electronic store. Mine is a honestech VHS to DVD 3.0 SE USB cable. It just does the job of recording videos. My dad got it for me so I really don't know where he got it.

Bleautiful Blue

Hi there, Blue Lightning. Do you like other blue things? Such as the sky, or the ocean, blue roses, blue paint, Sonic the Hedgehog, blue birds, Ludwig von Koopa's hair, etc.? Triple K, Skye 17:13, 30 April 2014 (EDT)

As you can see, I like Electric Blue, as well as turquoise, aqua and stuff. Of course I like the sky, water's clear though, I didn't even know that Blue Roses exist, I'm not really a fan of Sonic (except beating him up in smash bros.), I'm not really a bird watcher, and Ludwig's my fav Koopaling. I like Blue Kirby as we'll. So, I like most things that are blue. -

Music Mario Kart 8

On youtube there's a guy that uploaded all tracks music with no Driving sound etc. Can this be putted on the wiki?^{Billy-Luigi Time!} 04:30, 1 May 2014 (EDT)

Maybe, check with the admins or wiki policy first though. The thing you want is YouTube to MP3 . Look it up and it's the first thing there. If the person you're talking about is Brawl3568 or something, it won't do more than 20 min. -

04:52, 1 May 2014 (EDT)

Okay I converted a video but it wont let me upload it on the wiki. why?

^{Billy-Luigi Time!}

06:07, 1 May 2014 (EDT)

I don't know, maybe ask someone who has done it before. -

06:29, 1 May 2014 (EDT)

Sorry to interrupt, but the music comes from the official site itself. It plays when you select a track. And btw, I DO have experience convert files from a video format to a readable mp3, then to OGG format, which is what the wiki accepts.
