• Welcome with bibbangs! You can talk to me if you want. I'll usually reply, unless it's an extremely immature treasure chest of spam, profanity, and some wandalism mixed in. In that case, no one'll help u if sad.
• If you're referring me to other users (such as in proposals), I'd rather be called "LeftyGreenMario/LGM" (my former name), "Mario", or "Bazooka Mario". Try to refrain from "BM" since it sounds awfully like "Baby Mario", and a gun-wielding freak like me would rather not be compared to a dumb baby.
• I will not accept random users as friends. If you want to make friends with me, you have to actually talk to me. And don't forget to be polite.
• Don't add the {{unsigned}} on my talk page unless you're going to talk to me as well. Adding the template is similar to correcting grammar from a user five months ago; it's a false alarm whenever the notification shows up.

MW:Image Maps

Since your proposal passed, I updated MarioWiki:Image Maps accordingly (with proper accreditation). But I've held off on scrapping any of the unnecessary Image Maps ({{PDSMBE-map}}, {{NSMB2map}}, {{NSMBmap}}, {{SMW2YI Map}}, {{YIDS Map}}, {{YISMA3 Map}} and {{SMWmap2}}) in case you wanna orphan them yourself before marking them for deletion: your proposal, your first dibs on any of the maintenance work.

Replying on your page so that Corrin doesn't get flooded with messages

Sorry, I don't issue reminders on a regular basis, so I didn't know that. But I did check the edit count, and his userspace edits way outnumber his mainspace edits, which I thought was reminder-worthy. My bad File:RoyNSMBU.png Roy Koopa 12:07, 25 September 2015 (EDT)

No, no, it's fine. I'm just hoping Corrin doesn't get too worked up about this. I think other users would've done the same thing, but I'd personally just wait a bit until Corrin becomes accustomed.

The W3C's Requirements for Japanese Text Layout says that

When the size of base characters is very small (for e.g. smaller than seven points), ruby which is half the size, will be even more small and illegible. In such cases [...] ruby is not a suitable method of annotation.

The font size is usually 12.7px for main text, and even smaller for references. In such cases, I don't think it's a good idea to use ruby characters except in special divs where the font size is increased for that purpose:

Hello!

I was just wondering how you created this image, as it seems very clear and high-quality, and I would like to know how it was made. Thanks! (T · C) 16:36, 23 November 2015 (EST)

woah :o I usually take my models from the Mario Kart 8 section, as it has every character I would need, all pre-rigged and textured. I've used the 3D World model before, but that was when I had no idea what to do. I tried to do what you said with the model, and I came up with something that looked okay. I'll show you the render once I'm finished with it. (T · C) 02:56, 24 November 2015 (EST)

My Blender process is sort of like yours- it involves the same few steps. Firstly, I find a good set of models to work with. Normally, I use Mario Kart 8 models, as they are pre-textured and have good quality riggings. I do use Super Smash Bros. U models from time to time, but only with models without multiple faces (although I will try the layers thing you said, it seems like a good thing to do). For my userpage picture and signature, I used the Shy Guy model from Mario Sports Mix. It has quite a lot of bones that I can work with. I also have a customized blue and pink Shy Guy. I don't use anything special for re-texturing, as PAINT.NET does the trick easily. For some models, I have to go with non-rigged, but that is usually okay, as I work round it.

For lighting, I have three options- Point, Sun and Spot. Point is like a light-bulb, and I can adjust the energy and colour of it if I need to. The sun creates a constant light source in one direction, and the Spot concentrates a spot of light into a position, like a spotlight. Normally I go with sun for most renders or animations, but I put points in when I need to lighten a certain area. If I want props or background scenery, I download random objects to put in. The final thing I do is go onto render and world settings, and adjust the camera. Its default is to unload objects at around 100 units of distance (not that far), so I turn that off. Secondly, I change the sky and add mist, if it is a scene. For renders, I leave it blank and remove the background in PAINT.NET. Finally, I turn on ambient occlusion and indirect lighting, both settings that vastly improve the lighting and colours.

I'm not sure if any of this is familiar with you (I think it would be- Maya seems to be a lot like Blender), but I found out most of these things just by experimenting (I once found an option that makes the image able to be viewed with 3D glasses). I am still very new to these things, and I hope I can only get better, and you should too. (T · C) 02:54, 25 November 2015 (EST)

It's done! I first tried to do my own version of yours (here), which turned out okay. I retexured a Mario Kart 8 Mario, and tried to replicate what you did with the lighting and position. I think I nailed it down pretty well, it's just that Blender has a sort of grainy quality, and can't do any fancy light rims. However, I made up for that by making the background fully transparent from the start. With the launcher, I added a reflective texture on, and turned down the gloss, as I would expect a rocket launcher to be a little rusty. I also tried my own scene (here), in which I experimented with Sweet Sweet Galaxy, which originally came textureless. I hope you like it! (T · C) 16:02, 25 November 2015 (EST)

Yeah, the graininess is an issue, however it's only noticeable when the lighting is set up wrong- adjusting the energy and angle of the lights fixed the problem. The texturing issue with the ear was a small mistake on my part, I'll make sure to readjust that next time. However, when my renders are animated, they do tend to look nicer. (T · C) 04:05, 29 November 2015 (EST)

Thanks! I only noticed the squares once you pointed them out to me- next time, I'll crop them just in case. About the vandal, yeah I shouldn't really talk to them, that kinda just blurted out. (T · C) 14:26, 6 December 2015 (EST)

This. Once I get the sprite sheets, I use Paint and Paint.NET to crop and remove the background of the bit I want, e.g. Luigi's idle pose. I also have to change any pure black to a colour identical to the eye, but with a different data value.. thing. Once I've set it up, I put it into the program and select the number of rows and columns, then remove any blank frames. The program exports it separately in rows, so I piece them together in E-Z gif and change the speed. I can also crop the images if I need to, and do any other enhancements. After that, I download the finished product and upload it here. Before I used the program, I idiotically saved each individual frame in a separate file, and then put them together that way. If I feel especially proud of a gif, I upload it to imgur, because everyone cares. I think that's how most other sprites on this wiki are made. (T · C) 14:49, 6 December 2015 (EST)

P.S. I tend to only animate the sprites that look exiting or have a lot to it, otherwise it just feels boring. The interface is a little confusing at the start, even though there's like 4 buttons, but I got used to it quickly. (T · C) 14:54, 6 December 2015 (EST)

"don't use the color picker"

...I didn't. I rescaled it (nearest neighbour) down to the size of the pixels. Same with all of them - at no point did I redraw anything from scratch.

And with this, I did the same thing with the NOE Twitter pic. (Which I notice you haven't undid the {{aboutfile}} change for...) - Reboot (talk) 18:39, 4 December 2015 (EST)

Yeah, didn't realize that. We used to have users going around and creating their own sprites from those screenshots if you've seen the edit history. I don't see the need to scale the images, though since they're already rescaled in their pages. I suppose it won't be that different when the rip comes, but I don't think it's imperative to scale them. As for Frog Mario, I'd just crop it rather than scale AND crop it.

The thing is that the Wiki scales these things very badly, inherently - if they were uploaded 8-bit (or less) colour *and* were perfectly cropped (no borders) *and* were precisely scaled to X00% of original-size, it might be okay. But as it stands they're a blurry, smeary mess in the article. (Also, for some bizarre reason the Mario Trio one is out-of-ratio. The "pixels" in the picture uploaded to the NOE Twitter account are vertical rectangles when they should be square).

Note that I wasn't presenting them as rips, and indeed said quite clearly in my upload descriptions "still need rips". It was intended as an interim step. - Reboot (talk) 01:32, 7 December 2015 (EST)

If you're in the mood to discuss font families, here's a talk page that's not mine to discuss it. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Homo sapiens sapiens

Hey! This is in response to this edit. First, let me say I agree about the inclusion of "(sic)". I had actually thought about it some time after removing it, and all in all I think it should stay. Also, the reason I gave ("outdated denomination since 2003") was mostly nonsense and I was mistaken by the French Wikipedia. That being said, (and this might be a little bit too technical for MarioWiki), but as far as I can tell, Homo sapiens sapiens is a subspecies (which only encompass modern humans, but that's not the point). Considering we only know Mario's species (and not his subspecies), it makes more sense to compare his species with our species (and not our subspecies). Would you agree to remove the second "sapiens" from this trivia?
Banon (talk · edits) 15:38, 1 January 2016 (EST)

I do remember you (even though you changed your name)! I see your point. I think "Homo sapiens sapiens" is the best choice, because more preciseness is always better. However, saying "not the same species as a modern human (Homo sapiens sapiens)" kind of implies that H. s. sapiens is a species, which is false.

In that case, just be glad this isn't RoadRunner Wiki, because Wile E. Coyote and The Road Runner have a different genus every week :p

Also, may I suggest moving the trivia entry about Mario's height to the "Physical description" section? Oh, I think the section "Edutainment games" might breach the manual of style. It's against policy to separate appearances based on media, rather than series. Athough maybe you could argue the Edutainment games constitute a series. Uh. I don't know!
Banon (talk · edits) 18:49, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Please, take your time! I was simply pointing out a couple of things I'd noticed. Of course, I didn't want to made drastic changes on an article you're currently working on, so I thought it'd be best to discuss it with you :) As for the sapiens stuff, I think talking about both species and subspecies might be a tad confusing, but overall you handled that trivia pretty well and I think it can stay that way.

Your Recent Removal of Content

I don't know why you think you're fine removing content like this. You wouldn't go around removing sections like this on other character pages, would you? You wouldn't be in the right then, either, but what I'm saying is, you're singling out this character's sections for no specific reason. If you wanted to remove the appearance section for that reason, it is your opinion that all appearance sections should be removed. And you're not providing any real reason for removing the personality section, other than you said you think it was padded fluff. But why? How? You're not supposed to remove content like this. UhHuhAlrightDaisy (talk) 22:25, 8 January 2016 (EST)

I call it "trimming" rather than removing content. Sometimes, it is general wiki practice to insert general information section in articles, but I'm often not fond of "appearance" sections throughout this wiki, which go through several pains to describe every single detail and its kitchen sink. Generally, I'd keep "appearance" section dedicated to how and why a character is designed that way and/or if a character has seen one or several notable design changes. If not applicable, I'd keep description on either the beginning paragraph or section of the debut game. If the character is much too minor, such as Skeeter, goes through several design changes, it's fine to simply note it in every game it has a change. But anyway, "appearance" section should go since it accomplishes virtually nothing an image can't.

I'm not explicitly removing content from "personality", although I still ended up removing a lot of information because I feel it's essentially repeating certain personality traits several times. It's also telling, not showing what Arcade Bunny is. You can cut off "Arcade Bunny has an extroverted personality and earnest demeanor." and cut straight to "The Arcade Bunny is easily excitable, becoming animated and passionate about his interests or when explaining something." Again, I removed "he can also be very humble" and replaced it with "He is quick to apologize for his unusual or exaggerated behavior" which has the implications that he's humble and has a earnest demeanor or maybe other implications left up to interpretation. I also changed "intense" to "exaggerated" to make it more in line with his "animated" demeanor. I removed the "he uses a lot of informal speech, using contractions and filler words often" part since it is vague (what's "filler words"?) and tells us nothing special about his personality, since informal speech is usually a given when you're doing chitchat. Arcade Bunny also has a decently-sized quotes section, so it's already inferred here that he talks like this and that.

Again, to reinforce "show, not tell" I also cut some words in " The Arcade Bunny is an avid gamer, being very enthusiastic about video games and admitting that he works at the arcade so that he can play the games as soon as they come out." and went straight to the point, "The Arcade Bunny, enthusiastic about video games, admits that he works at the arcade so he can play the games as soon as they are released." although you can add "[...]an enthusiastic gamer, admits that he works at the arcade so he can play the games as soon as they are released.

I finished with several words cutting cut and not quite enough for its own section, so it seems that I'm removing chunks of content. In the end, the only thing I really removed is "appearance" for reasons I've already explained and the "personality" is simply rewritten and relocated. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 22:50, 8 January 2016 (EST)

Why would you call it trimming when you're removing an entire section, then? His appearance section, like others I've worked on, explain the basics in a basic manner of writing, as many prefer. Are you implying it goes into lengthy detail? It is already really short and concise as is. "I'd keep "appearance" section dedicated to how and why a character is designed that way and/or if a character has seen one or several notable design changes. If not applicable, I'd keep description on either the beginning paragraph or section of the debut game." There's a section for that too, the Development section. Most characters don't have confirmed reasons for what you're talking about, though, so it doesn't make sense to apply your own, personal view of what an appearance section could be. And it doesn't make sense to talk about the character's appearance in those places when you can put it in the appearance section, where it is obviously more appropriate. So that's the thing, just because you're not "fond" of appearance sections or how they work, doesn't mean you're valid in trying to remove this one, specifically, because again, even as you're outlining here, you therefore would want to remove all appearance sections. So what I said in response to you points out why we have appearance sections, because why would we include it in a game section or in the intro when it is more appropriate in a section talking about the character's character information? And "You can cut off "Arcade Bunny has an extroverted personality and earnest demeanor." and cut straight to "The Arcade Bunny is easily excitable, becoming animated and passionate about his interests or when explaining something."" Because you're supposed to tell and show. You state his personality, and then exemplify it, you don't just cut-out enough to try and shove a mere-mention of his personality in the wrong part of the article. UhHuhAlrightDaisy (talk) 23:26, 8 January 2016 (EST)

I said "trimming" because that's what it is. Otherwise, the fuss over that specific word choice strikes me as pedantic. You have to elaborate what "the basics in a basic manner of writing" is, specifically defining what "basics" is. I haven't seen it in our Manual of Style for starters, but even if it is its own section, it doesn't mean it's a required aspect of a complete article. About "lengthy detail", not quite. The problem with "general information" here is the amount of space it creates for the article and the table of contents; for something this small, I think a nice paragraph in the beginning can cover. Furthermore, there's an unwritten rule that highly recurring or more complex characters get these sections, which the Arcade Bunny is decidedly neither. The development section covers generally only the character's origins, but it often gets reiterated in the character's general appearance section. I'm actually not familiar about the "creation and development" sections in the wiki as I am, with merely "creation" being its own section (as in Mario and Bowser) and "development" taking up a bulk of "appearance" later in the article. Development can refer to appearance, but it can mean a whole other lot of stuff such as gameplay, personality development, etc. while appearance can focus on physical changes only, and I think it would be more interesting if the writing was about changes rather than description. There aren't specific guidelines on writing on appearances aside from "fan worship" section in Good Writing, but I think it's agreed here that character's description on mere appearance should be as light as possible.

On appearance sections in general, I think we have a misunderstanding here, so I'll elaborate: I'm highly critical of how most appearance sections are written, especially when the majority of them were written likely prior to the Good Writing policy. That does not mean I advocate removing them. In the meantime, "appearance" in Arcade Bunny is unnecessary; therefore, it should be removed, whereas "appearance" in Wario and Princess Daisy are needed (since the two are major recurring characters) but may require rewrite. Not all articles need an "appearance" section especially when a paragraph covers it and there isn't any policy specifically stating this, although you seem to think that they should.

Finally, "show, not tell" is actually a standard in writing, which can also apply to drier wiki writing. The point is, let readers get their own implications; writing is more interesting that way. You don't have to outright state what his personality is. If readers see that "he is excitable and animated", it's already strongly implied he's "extroverted" anyway. Mario^-HOHO!

Mario Kart Wii Image Upload

Did you create File:MKWii - Blue Fake Item Box glitch.png yourself? If so, maybe you can help out with Galaxy pages and getting better images. I can't do it all myself. :P Just be sure to use PNG and replace JPEG versions of images if they are being used. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:15, 9 January 2016 (EST)

You have Super Mario Strikers? I need your assistance please! On User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox#Sample Images, I need an image demonstrating 16:9 for that game. You could also use that same image for Gallery:Super Mario Strikers because I see it is kind of lacking or Super Mario Strikers#Trivia to demonstrate the 16:9 part. It can be the title screen. Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) and I are working on something. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 17:59, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Scratch that. Just make it a screenshot of you playing a game of soccer in 16:9. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 04:49, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I'll see what I can do. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:31, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Cool. Can't wait. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 16:35, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Uploaded! Hope you're happy with it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:47, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Looks good. I'll be sure to use the image elsewhere. Thanks. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 19:31, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Any time! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:37, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I'm giving you credit for adding those sprites.

You know, Bazooka Mario, I am gonna give you credit for adding the sprites of Mario & Luigi's overworld idle gif, ad Mario's battle gif, all three from Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam.

And I was asking: Can you please ad gifs of Peach, the Toads, and Toadette in their idle poses? (Peach, Red Toad, Blue Toad (normal and with a sack), Yellow Toad, Green Toad, Purple (or pink) Toad, and Toadette) Oh, and don't forget about Starlow's. I would NOT forget about your sprite animations. ;-)

Dry Bones sprite

Your new upload, File:Dry Bones (sprite) - PMSS.png is a duplicate of File:Dry Bones (PMSS).PNG. Niiue (talk) 20:30, 15 January 2016 (EST)

Well, dammit, I wouldn't have known this was used in the bestiary, but I thought we didn't have a sprite because I didn't see it in Dry Bones's gallery, list of stats, or, well, anywhere else. Thanks for letting me know. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:32, 15 January 2016 (EST)

2015 Mario Calendar

If you are going to do each month in the calendar, here is a very high quality source: calendar. It is JPEG so any artifacts will either be preserved if saved to PNG or amplify if you save further JPEGs. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 00:27, 16 January 2016 (EST)

Oh? You are going to do that with it? That reminds me; to remove some images from Category:Quality requested, can you apply transparency to:

1. File:BlockSpriteNSMB.png
2. File:CoinsStar.png
3. File:Crystal Balls.PNG
4. File:Merluvlee.png
5. 9 Wario's Woods sprites

Don't forget to apply PNG Monster to them. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 01:26, 16 January 2016 (EST)

I see you forgot to apply PNG Monster to the images. I went ahead and did that. It now annoys me when PNGs aren't as small as possible file size wise. :P Playing Super Mario All-Stars, the crystal ball looks clear when Birdo is defeated inside and out. If you aren't sure, use Spriter's Resource. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:17, 16 January 2016 (EST)

No problem. Thanks for the transparency on the images I tagged a bit ago. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:29, 16 January 2016 (EST)

The SNES is harder to add transparency to some objects because of advanced graphical effects it can perform compared to the NES. I think it is even capable of having translucency because if you check List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content, the game was going to have these effects but were ultimately canceled (File:Lunartnew.gif). Good work none-the-less. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 03:37, 16 January 2016 (EST)

I just want to tell you, that am going to upload the full animated gifs of those artworks you uploaded. Just so you don't add them all in the gallery.

Probably not, from where they're linked.

Okay

L151

hello

Nice for you to start the proposal to split Badge and Clothing by game, they made the main articles really neat. Did you know that pages like "Big-POW Badge" needs to change from

#REDIRECT [[Badge#Big-POW Badge]]

to

#REDIRECT [[List of badges in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time#Big-POW Badge]]

? On the other hand, if a page said "[[Badge#Big-POW Badge|Big-POW Badge]]", these links should be updated too. --A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 06:55, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Yup, I'm aware that ALL of the redirects need to be changed. It's pretty overwhelming, so if anyone can drive by and make those redirect changes, it would be great. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 13:32, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I have some free time and I'll take them. A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 19:57, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Thanks! Please do! Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:58, 5 February 2016 (EST)

I encountered a problem: The list of clothing for Paper Jam is under construction. Is the name list accurate and comprehensive? A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 20:27, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Not sure about that. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 01:25, 6 February 2016 (EST)

I finished most of the work, except that the pages List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam still lacks anchors. (Beware that some Paper Jam items have two versions under the same name. Be sure to make the disambiguation pages point to the correct entry.) Also the following pages are occupied by other stuff and I don't have experience. Can you handle them?

• Gold Statue (Dream Team entry, Paper Jam entry)
• Golden Hammer (Dream Team entry, Paper Jam entry)
• Lucky Charm (Bowser's Inside Story entry)
• Spin Hammer (Dream Team entry, Paper Jam entry)
• Super Boots (Dream Team entry, Paper Jam entry)
• Super Hammer (Dream Team entry, Paper Jam entry)
• Work Pants (MLSS clothing entry)

Thanks. (If you don't want to add the anchors, I'll add them with the help of regular expressions.) A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 05:56, 6 February 2016 (EST)

[2016-2-7 update]: Unused badge names in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door still point to "Badge", but I don't know whether I should direct them to List of badges in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Unused Badges of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door or List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content#Badges, as the same table is duplicated twice on the Wiki. A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 04:37, 7 February 2016 (EST)

Probably redirect them to the latter. For the pages that share anchors, you might need to create disambiguation pages. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:33, 7 February 2016 (EST)

[2016-4-30 update]: Anchors now have been added to List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and List of clothing in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. There doesn't seem to be anything else that needs to be updated (am I right?). Incidentally, 100+ disambiguation pages have been created during my February 5 journey and this MediaWiki wiki does not recognize the magic word __DISAMBIG__ so the page count on the Main Page increased by that amount. When it's day in China it's night in America so it's funny to see 100+ "articles" appear overnight, I think. (By the way, don't forget to check MarioKid's question below.) A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 11:57, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, I had to answer MarioKid's question. That's unfortunate. Anyway, thanks for all of that. :) I'd imagine. Heh, I have Chinese heritage. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:21, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

SMB film proposal

Really sorry, but in light of the info posted by LinkTheLefty at the eleventh hour, we had to admin veto the proposal. Ideally, the info would have come in sooner to give everyone a chance to consider it and make fully informed decisions, whether they were opposing or supporting, but unfortunately, all the votes that would have given the proposal an extension came after the deadline (I actually forgot the deadline was today, otherwise I would have switched votes earlier, but instead, decided to mull it over all day, until it was too late - argh). You can relist the proposal immediately if you still want to, as long as the "it's the basis for the games, not a version of the games themselves" Word of God info is included, as we do consider that sorta stuff part of the canon (i.e. Miyamoto saying the Koopalings aren't Bowser's kids), and so, it must be taken into account. - Walkazo 23:46, 4 February 2016 (EST)

Fair thing. It just has to be pointed out in (film character)s' pages and it would be extra golden. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:41, 5 February 2016 (EST)

Sometimes I want to flop in bed and do nothing

I haven't had a good night's sleep in months and I feel so good. My dreams involve nothing but doing work with the occasional Mario adventure interspersed between them. I want to be a zombie, that way I can have an excuse for shambling everywhere. Maybe I should eat pancakes, I swear I have some in my freezer that I should probably eat. Maybe they're waffles. Are you a pancakes person or a waffles person? This post feels like a bad idea but the common sense part of my brain turns off whenever I'm tired. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

Remember that proposal I did?

Well... turns out it was sort of a dud. Recently, L151 came on chat and told me that the Japanese name of Pondskaters was in fact the same as the Japanese name for Skeeters, so all that splitting I just now did was for nothing. To be honest though, I should have verified what the Japanese name was before deciding to split them. Now I feel silly for not doing that. >_<--UM3000

Japanese names aren't a surefire end-all solution for naming, but it does weaken our case a bit. Still, there are cases where enemies do have same Japanese names, but different Japanese names, like Cheep Chomp but remain split due to major differences in appearance, behavior, and English names. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:36, 15 March 2016 (EDT)

In this case, the only functional difference really is that you can't kill them by jumping on them. Not sure if that's big enough to warrant another article. UM3000

Well, what about behavior? And that you can't defeat them by jumping on them IS a pretty major difference. Combined with Mario's inability to perform punches and kicks, which do defeat Skeeters, perhaps we can still make a case there. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 19:38, 16 March 2016 (EDT)

Why do you hate Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Koopa Troopa?

I'm just curious as to why you dislike these three characters. I mean, DK is one of my favorite characters, and Yoshi and Koopa were always amongst my favorites to play as in Mario Kart Wii. It's fine with me if you dislike them, but I just was wondering. --MarioKartDoubleDash (talk) 16:09, 17 March 2016 (EDT)

Complete Startover

Hi, Bazooka Mario, it's MarioKid here, listen I kinda forgot my password and I have no e-mail, so do you think I could use a new account as a total restart and clean slate? I don't know if that's allowed though... Hope it is. ^{Comment made by a not logged in MarioKid}

I can't do that, but you should let a sysop/bureaucrat know about your situation just so they don't think you're sockpuppeting. Once you inform the user, then you have your old account renamed (such as from "Mariokid" to "null") and you can then safely sign up under "Mariokid". Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 20:23, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks for the help. How can I contact a sysop/bureaucrat? ^{Comment made by a not logged in MarioKid}

You notify an active one here. I'd normally point you to Walkazo (talk) since she handled those sorts of issues well, but you must ask Glowsquid to handle name changes since he is the only one available who can do this. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:05, 29 March 2016 (EDT)

Thanks! The account was renamed and I have started over! I am also willing to take the autoconfirmation test again too, because that was kinda fun. MarioKid (talk) 16:33, 30 March 2016 (EDT)

some random words

Hello Bazooka Mario, I finished updating those redirects long ago, but forgot to tell you (sorry). By the way, after that experience I think it would be much better if MediaWiki can have something like {{definehere}}. We can use that template to introduce the badges and clothings, and Mario things in general. After every edit, MediaWiki can re-examine the existing {{definehere}}s and put them into a table. The table will consist of all Mario things being described in this encyclopedia, and can be used to guide the reader to relevant info, so that a reader searching for "Big-POW Badge" can be automatically taken to where {{definehere|Big-POW Badge}} is. (If there are two the software can generate a disambiguation page on the fly.) This way, editors no longer need to maintain redirects, disambiguations, or those "A redirects here for B see there" notices manually.

Also, after you became aware that the redirects needed to change, did you seek help somewhere? It'll be much better if there can be a place on MarioWiki:Maintenance where editors can post cleanup requests. There are some people such as I who are willing to take such tasks.

A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 09:15, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to migrate entirely to it but my words didn't make this clear. Actually, I agree it will cause brave-new-world trouble to make it automated (like for Rosalina to have the Lumas automatically taken care of by Luma feeding machines). Please just take that proposal as an April Fool's one. A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 23:09, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

I don't know if it will be insensitive to mention her name here, but I've been staying up late mourning for Walkazo until midnights these days and I'm feeling very sad about her death too. She was not just performing administrative tasks but also taking good care of the wiki, answering questions here and there and weaving many parts of the wiki together using the power of plain English words. She knew well how to make the wiki better and sometimes she would even appear on the talk page of an editor whose main activity here was to add Korean names and romanizations to the foreign language boxes to help the user. And now she has passed away at such a young age and I hope there can be something to keep her spirit going on forever here. Sometimes when I saw someone weaving many parts of the wiki together making it neater I thought it was she again. That was how I missed the old time when I was doing some minor maintenance work such as manually updating those redirects as if I were weaving something too, or more exactly, as if I could give the impression that someone else was secretly improving the wiki over the sky.

By the way, I'm afraid I can't help in the request at the end of this page. I'm a bit busy these days and now have only an Android tablet. A gossip-loving Toad (talk) 00:03, 4 April 2016 (EDT)

odd request

I don't mean to be rude but I had a childhood friend who died the exact same way as walkazo and I really don't want to be reminded of her every time I look at the main page, especially since she was also a big mario fan, so if someone could do something about it that would be nice. I have a type of personality disorder which causes me to have emotional stress triggered much more easily than most other people

Unfortunately, we cannot please every single person in the MarioWiki. Regardless if the feeling is pleasant or not, we must deal with it now and in future. I believe coping with it now will help you and me become stronger and overall better people. This rings especially true for Walkazo's family who have to deal with this all up close and personal and cannot just hide these feelings, which their loss will haunt them all day for a very long time. Since I'm not an expert on psychology, I cannot give you emotional advice on how to cope, so I suggest you ask your therapist or go see one to help you cope with this. Please talk with someone about this. In the end, though, this is reality and we should accept it rather than hide from it. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:10, 1 April 2016 (EDT)

Categorizing Images

Still tired

Between the half-dozen wiki projects I put on myself, the articles I have for The 'Shroom, and the plethora of essays and homework I need to complete for college, I've been keeping myself busy. What I wouldn't give to wrap myself in a blanket and jump into a Mario game at this very moment... If you've had to deal with a giant workload in a short timespan before, I envy your ability to survive. It doesn't help that I took a week off from school to recuperate. I basically couldn't complete any work for days. I want to take it easy, maybe goof off on the forums and take some more time to gather my thoughts, but life suuuuuuucks. Taking some time here to talk about it helps. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

I'll be sure to check out what you have shown me and update User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox, especially homebrewing a PNG file instead! I really don't like the JPEG format, but for the longest time, best screenshots were either hardmods intercepting screen data or just settling for Miiverse saving screenshots as JPEG. :/ --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:29, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

Flashcard as in 3rd party 3DS cartridge. Nintendo tends to revise the 3DS OS to block those things from being recognized by blacklisting certain Game IDs or something. The only method that would work for me are the free to play games or the web browser exploit. I do have Smash, but the exploit states I need the New 3DS and I still use the old one. The other exploits I either don't have the game or the exploit won't work anymore regardless of what I do with my 3DS. So I just need to wait for new exploits or revisions to existing exploits to allow the version of 3DS OS I am running to run the exploit (if any). --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:55, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

I have some exciting news related to 3DS homebrewing: [1] This might be the entry point we have been hoping for with our 3DS systems still being denied homebrew. This might be similar to browserhax. I heard that 11.0.0-33 blocks Oot3dhax. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:55, 30 May 2016 (EDT)

Don't get too excited because the reveal that happened yesterday is an exploit in a very obscure game. [2] I thought it was going to be a QR code exploit when you press + in the system menu. Our best chance is the revival of browserhax. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:41, 4 June 2016 (EDT)

As for concerns about my new additional tags, please voice them. Maybe I can address those concerns or make tweaks if I did something unwanted. Just trying to propose a system taking inspiration from Bulbapedia's, but way simpler than what they got and to be a better fit for MarioWiki's needs. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 22:29, 9 April 2016 (EDT)

I think I have addressed your concerns by being more concise with my statements. I think I still require more feedback from you. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 15:50, 10 April 2016 (EDT)

Replied. I am just going to ask Henry Tucayo Clay (talk) to cancel the proposal. The feedback is telling me something is majorly wrong and some major revisions need to be made to it. Can't be done in one week. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 20:55, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

• Potato image; there's subjectivity in that phrasing. I have an idea what a potato image is but that leaves room for interpretation. I tried to define how my proposed tags should be used on the sandbox pages themselves. How should we define {{image-quality}}? Here's my list of what I think you think is a potato image:

1. Bad cropping
2. Blurriness
3. Too small
4. Used a camera to take a screenshot of a game

• OK, I think I know where this proposal went wrong. You were under the impression that we would be going through ~70,000 files if the proposal passes. I never stated such a thing. One tag for ~70,000 images in which ~1,000 tagged seems like we outgrew {{image-quality}}. I said we would be going through the currently tagged images if the proposal passes, which is ~70x less images to go through. Maybe I should have specified that any future tagging would be done through casual browsing of MarioWiki. This tagging thing isn't going to be like a "sweatshop" process. We tag images like we always have before. The only difference is we have more tag options and less subjectivity.
• OK, propose removal of the {{Convert to SVG}}. I knew so little about it so it makes sense for someone who knows the tag a little bit better than I do to decide the best course of action on what to do with it.
• I have given some thought how to bring attention to RAP (talk)'s pages. Tag his user talk pages with {{image-quality}}? I was corrected that may be wrong use of the tag but it's the best tag to use. I have taken small stabs at the replacement project, whether I knew I was or not, such as replacing most of the Diddy Kong Racing images. I even edited the page containing Diddy Kong Racing with strikethrough.
• You say you don't want to restrict the templates but between you and Baby Luigi (talk), both of you have been very vocal about my {{image-quality}} usage. It's very contradictory to me. It sounds like you do want some kind of restriction on them. I just don't know how to proceed. :/ --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) ^{(Stats - Contribs)} 23:14, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

I'd want to do it, but I don't have the powers for that. This isn't the first time someone asked me to do something way beyond my powers, and I'm so worried that other staff members, especially the higher-ranking ones simply don't have the time nor dedication to help users with password problems. Walkazo was best at handling that kind of stuff and... ugh, well, you should leave a message on one of the admins' talk pages or e-mail them and please try to get a result. All I can think is just create a new account, explain to a bureaucrat your problem, and have the created account renamed. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 18:16, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

Wandal

Hi Bazooka Mario, I have a question. Why do you sometimes refer to vandals as wandals? I noticed in some edits you called them wandals. Fawful's Minion File:Fawful's Minion-Logan.jpeg 13:08, 21 April 2016 (EDT)

English grammar about "there is"

File:Goomba Village.PNG

I'd like to ask a question about English grammar: There is a rule that if you start a sentence with "there is" and keep listing things, whether to use "is" or "are" depends only on the first thing enumerated:

There is a Toad House and a Goomba House.

while:

The Toad House and the Goomba House are in the north.

Would the rule apply to "In the north of Goomba Village [to be] a Toad House and a Goomba House"? I'm going to describe the areas in Paper Mario in full detail and find myself writing sentences like this a lot and would like to know what you native English speakers think about this. User:Zootalo said that the preferred form of "to be" in that sentence was "is" but my English teacher said it should be "are". By the way, do you Americans recognize "in the north" as "in the back side, far from the camera" when looking at a picture like the one to the right? Thanks in advance. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 21:23, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

Hm, the structure of the "in the north of..." sentence is weird; it's an example of subject verb inversion. In this case, "a Toad House and a Goomba House" would be the subject, a plural, and you should give it an "are". You can look at the flower example in the link I provided.

a. Some flowers are in the vase.

b. In the vase are some flowers.

But since the sentence structure might be awkward and confusing for you, I'd rearrange the structure, "A Toad House and a Goomba House are in the north of the Goomba Village."

I believe "north" is generally correct, but we like "northern side of the village". If you say "in the north of Goomba Village", it might refer to a northern location outside of Goomba Village. It's not really about the camera, but about general direction. In games with a camera that does not move, up on the control stick means "north", down means "south", and so on. 不用謝。 No, I don't speak it at all; if you go all Chinese on me, I'm gonna ask my Dad >:) Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 21:54, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

The sentence from the article "The Honeyhive's Purple Coins"

When Mario reaches the area where the Power Star for the mission Honeyhive Cosmic Mario Race is found, a 1-Up and a ledge with a Purple Coin on it.

seems to lack a predicate? I was cleaning up links to disambiguation pages when I found this. Not sure if the "1-Up" should link to "Extra life" or "1-Up Mushroom" since I was in desperate need of a verb. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 10:16, 14 May 2016 (EDT)

Yes, it is not a complete sentence. Even native speakers can get fooled by the length of the sentence, but just because it's long doesn't guarantee that it is a complete sentence. It should be "When Mario reaches the area[...] he can find a 1-Up and a ledge with a Purple Coin on it." The article should link to 1-Up Mushroom. Extra life is simply a broader term, but in this context, it helps to be specific. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 16:57, 15 May 2016 (EDT)

RE:French?

Vous voulez que je vérifie si la traduction est bonne de français à anglais ou de anglais à français? Ça pourrait m'aider de le savoir :) You wanted me to look if the translation is good from french to english or english to french? It will help me if I could know. :) --^(TALK) 23:31, 30 April 2016 (EDT)

Great job, here are some suggestions :

• Chez les Thwomp, les liens sont plus solides que le roc! (At Thwomp's place, the lineage is more solid than rock!)

My suggestions :

• Chez les Thwomp, les liens sont plus solides que le roc! (At Thwomp's place, the connections (or links) are stronger than rock!)

a. Stronger = plus fort, plus solide

b. Connections = liens, liaisons, ce qui les unis (Eg : Ces liens qui nous unissent) peut également se dire (Can also be said as) links ou (or) united (États-Unis = United Stated)

Here:

Yoshi happily digests it, causing Rex to swear and realize that Yoshi's stomach is tougher than lead. Mario demands Rex.

My suggestions :

• Yoshi happily digests it, causing Rex to swear and realize that Yoshi's stomach is tougher than lead. Mario ask (or question) Rex.

De l’anglais, j’entends rarement l’usage de "demands", "ask" est plus répandu. In English, It's rare that I hear the usage of "demands", "ask" is more prevalent

Other than that, everything else is perfect, I'll read and reread to check every little thing and let you know my suggestions. If you were talking about the translation from English to French, everything is good. Let me know more. :) --^(TALK) 00:12, 1 May 2016 (EDT)

Thanks, I'm glad that I can help you with this. "solid" because "rock-solid" is a common similie/metaphor. Is this the same in French? Oh, I also said lineage because in that chapter, Thwomp is visiting his father and Mario and Yoshi fight them.

• For the rock-solid, yes, it become "solide comme le roc", I understand your translation now and for the Thwomp one also.

The rest , I think, is perfect. If you need help with translations, I'm here. :) --^(TALK) 00:21, 2 May 2016 (EDT)

If you make edits, they'll be patrolled. That's how wiki editing works. I am just proofreading your edits, not necessarily sniping it. My edits were done roughly two hours after your page creation, which is ample time to proofread your work and not an excuse to call me out for correcting your grammar (such as spacing issues and run-on sentences).

a thank you note

Just here to show my appreciation for two pieces of text you wrote - one on my talk page and the other the reply to the "odd request" on this page - which pointed out the necessity to 'talk to someone' and 'share your feelings' regarding someone's death instead of hiding from it. I've now started seeing a psychological consultant and learning Japanese and watching anime and things like that and I'm happy I took the first step. Otherwise, it was just easy to let it affect me too long, stifling the desire to do new things. Thanks again!

(If there's another thing I would like to thank Walkazo for, it's her indirectly fostering my interest in the Japanese language via MW:JAPANESE, where I picked up the hiragana and the katakana scripts. I'm now able to understand a lot of the text when visiting Japanese-language websites.) A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 01:05, 5 June 2016 (EDT)
