User talk:Owencrazyboy9: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:22, February 13, 2017

Welcome to my talk page. If you want to chat here, feel free to do so. However, there are a few rules to keep in mind:

Don't type curse words on this page. I'm VERY sensitive when it comes to that.
Don't insert spam over and over again, flame someone or insult me or any of the other users. If that happens, the comments shown will get removed, no questions asked!
If an archived page is unprotected, don't edit it. If that happens, you will be screwed (a.k.a. the edits will get undone)!
If you issue me a false warning or reminder for a COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS subject, it will be appealed and hopefully overturned.
Make sure the talk that happens here relates to video games or the wiki in general. Other Nintendo-based wikis are fine to chat here, too. Any unrelated talk gets removed.
No friend requests. Not to mention, I WILL NOT respond to friend requests. There is already one here, sure, but no more after that. It's better to be safe than sorry!
No instances of chat that feel like they belong to the forums. They will be removed if any forum chat comments are seen.
Removing or modifying warnings or comments are completely UNACCEPTABLE. If that happens, they will be brought back (if they were deleted) or restored to its original brilliance (if they were changed) and you will be punished for it...maybe.
To add a new header, just hit the "+" button next to the edit button. This will bring the next talk discussion, which will go on the bottom.
DO NOT move talk discussions from a place to a random spot, because the edit will get undone and you'll be reminded about it.
If you forgot to sign your comment, don't bother making another edit to switch it. I can look in the history to see who posted the comment without me having to put the unsigned template.
Don't impersonate any of the users on the wiki. You could get in BIG trouble for doing so; that's BIG with a capital B. If you want to see a good example of impersonation, look here.
Lastly, just have fun! As long as you follow these rules, this chat page will be a good spot to hang out.

All right! You can now begin chatting! BTW, ignore the first six sections of the talk page. In my opinion, they're not worth your time. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 17:04, 2 January 2017 (EST)

Advice

Just a piece of advice; I suggest you read through the MarioWiki Policy and the Manual of Style; reason being is that you're not supposed to use the word "you" when editing main articles themselves. All right; take care. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 22:51, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Reminder (Unnecessary Edits/Using "You" In Articles)

Please stop making unneeded edits/using the word "you" in main articles on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Please read this notice as well as the one above. I suggest that you read the Mario Wiki Manual of Style immediately before editing any main articles again. Thanks in advance for your cooperation with this. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 13:10, 21 October 2011 (EDT)

A Reminder About Stub Articles

Hi, next time you create an article make sure it has a reasonable amount of information. I had to delete the last article you made because it was too short. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing :) Fawfulfury65

Warning

This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (Adding Fan-made Content) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site.
If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Anything not actually made by Nintendo (all fangames, fanfics, fanart, etc.) is not covered by our coverage policy and should not be added. If we tried to add all the fan content on the internet, we would have articles about the most ridiculous things and we could no longer call ourselves an encyclopedia.

Friend Request

Hi, I want to be friends, as the title implies. Also, could you create a user box and chose a picture for me to use in the friend list?

Dead-End Space

Hey, nice work on getting that image!

Shokora (talk · edits) 03:12, 14 November 2016 (EST)

Thanks! All I did was take a screenshot from a YouTube video and cropped the unnecessary parts before uploading. It was also my very first time uploading an image. I hope I did a good job! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:18, 14 November 2016 (EST)

Bowser

Considering this was three years ago, I don't particularly remember. I guess at the time I didn't think it was really necessary to list in extensive detail every single method to defeat him and what every possible move can do when fighting him.

-Toa 95 (talk)

Thanks for the clarification. Maybe a source should be added for that information, stating that it came from the Prima guide and the page it was on. For future reference, if you're going to undo someone's edit, make sure you state why in the edit summary. It's very easy to screw that up sometimes. But I'm sure you knew that already! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 22:43, 16 November 2016 (EST)

Anonymous Reminder

As per this page, Anonymous users just get messages and no warnings. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) 22:59, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind next time. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 22:59, 22 November 2016 (EST)

Welcoming users

Hey, I know you're just being friendly, but you should welcome users after they have made at least one constructive edit. Otherwise, you'd be creating a talk page for what could be an inactive user. 16:28, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Thanks for clarifying! I'll now know to wait until they made one edit before welcoming them! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 18:01, 2 December 2016 (EST)

Trivia of Shy Guy Falls

Mate, they actually do say "Heihō" but as: "Hei-hō" Partial vandalism? --95.144.142.93 15:02, 19 December 2016 (EST)

I didn't vandalize the page, but I just think it doesn't really count as good trivia. Trivia is for bits of information that can't be placed in a really good spot in the article. If you think it's good, then re-add it, but in a good spot in the article. I recommend reading this article for more information on what works and doesn't work as trivia. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 15:26, 19 December 2016 (EST)

I'm glad I was able to solve the problem between you and the anonymous user, but are either of you going to actually include the information or should I? 19:39, 20 December 2016 (EST)

I'm not sure. Maybe I can add it in. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:24, 20 December 2016 (EST)

Edit Summaries

Could you please refrain from adding sly comments to your edit summaries? Here's what I'm talking about:

"Fixing incorrect link issue for featuring the page...which will likely never happen, given the state of the article."

The first part is informative, but the second half, while true, doesn't need to be said. You fixed a link, that's all.

"OK, since when was Paper Mario: Color Splash recent? The game came out in October, now it's January."

I think it's fairly obvious that those templates for recent games can be overlooked when its not so recent anymore. People don't realize they are still up, it was never intentionally left there.

"User is now blocked. Play the games or watch YouTube videos of the games first before making assumptions."

There could've been another way to say this without belittling the anon.

"Mega Mole doesn't appear in Super Mario Maker. Nice try, user who added that in!"

There's no sense to being so smug here! This one and the one above are the sort of messages designed to anger people.

"Bonus Stars appear in Star Rush. Why is that information NOT on this page? Adding expand template until information is added."

Same with the recent games template, it can be overlooked.

"These are the actual names of the games. Nice try, though."

Here you're just being a complete jerk. The person you're referring to in this edit states that they didn't know the actual names, yet when you provided the correct names, you accused them of intentionally giving false information.

"Re-created the quotes page for Paper Mario: Color Splash. I put a construction tag unlike the other user who tried to create the page professionally, but failed."

I don't actually know what the original page looked like, but this sort of comment was still rude and unnecessary. Possibly another example of being a jerk to someone.

This was all just from the last month, and I've been wanting to say something for awhile now. Please just be kind and courteous to others and keep your summaries to only helpful information or real questions, not sarcasm and the lot. Sorry, having trouble finding the right words.--

02:41, 2 January 2017 (EST)

I had no idea that I should be careful on how I use edit summaries. I'll try to fix them up to be polite and nice in the nearby future. For the second to last quote, I was saying "Nice try," because he guessed the names. BTW, great work on those bestiary templates of the Mario RPG games! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 10:04, 2 January 2017 (EST)

RE:Edit summary.

You seemed to act all heroic about your edit, so I played the same game. In regard to the edits themselves, removing those notes was not necessary at all, and I justified this in one of my edit summaries here - stating that "K Rools Last Stand" has poor punctuation, but is taken from the game exactly as it is. The lack of a "sic" note next to that phrase implies the poor punctuation is the editor's fault and needs to be corrected. Perhaps by saying that the "sic" parts are not needed, you meant that whoever added them was way too specific, but how should I know that? -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE

I probably didn't even think to keep them. Sure, before I removed the "sic" parts, I watched videos of Donkey Kong Land 3, but didn't realize that K. Rools Last Stand didn't have an apostrophe in it. Sorry about what happened. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 13:21, 25 January 2017 (EST)

It's okay! Thanks for understanding! -- -- KOOPA CON CARNE 14:35, 25 January 2017 (EST)

Shy Bandit Trivia

The reason I removed the trivia that stated that the Shy Bandit cannot appear whenever you have a card of him is because, in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=y0aUOmS-kHg&a=, it shows a Shy Bandit card being used on the Shy Bandit, showing he can attack while you have his card. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 20:52, 28 January 2017 (EST)

Oh! Didn't see that coming. I thought that important trivia was removed, but turns out it was to fix a mistake. Sorry about that! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:54, 28 January 2017 (EST)

74.89.20.171

Rather than just explain what the user did wrong in the summaries, it'd be better to also leave an informal warning on their talk page. That way they will get the message more easily, and there are a lot of users who don't even look at the page histories or recent changes anyway. Mario JC 02:29, 29 January 2017 (EST)

Oh, OK. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 10:38, 29 January 2017 (EST)

MKDD LAN image

Several things I have to say.

The image you uploaded is not actually higher quality than the one I uploaded. You took that one from a video camera recording, the one I had is directly from a capture card. I'd rather we have a capture card screenshot in French than a video recording of poorer quality in English.
To see changes when you upload a new revision, you need to clear your cache or refresh your page.

Ray Trace^(T|C) 11:55, 6 February 2017 (EST)

I found that on YouTube. And, I didn't know I had to clear cache to see differences in revisions. – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 11:59, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Yo

"YOU BIG IDIOT!"
That was uncalled for. Regardless of whether the anon was correct or not, there's no need for an outburst like that. Please refrain from direct comments like that in your summaries in the future, alright? 13:02, 6 February 2017 (EST)

Well, I was irritated that the IP address kept changing quotes from the ones in the game to the ones not in the game. I don't have the game myself, so I look to YouTube videos for proof. Sorry if I offended anyone! – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 14:34, 6 February 2017 (EST)

You haven't offended anyone (I think), but still, it's courtesy not to make comments like that.

JonnyGamer02

Hi! This is JonnyGamer about editing the Super Mario Odyssey (I'm new here so I don't know how this whole thing works or if you will be able to read this) I tried to put back the reference to Candy Kong because if you pause the Super Mario Odyssey video right as it goes to New Donk City, you can see Candy Kong along with other DK characters. (Candy's Cafe, next to tiny's piroshki and banana bagels) Thanks
