User talk:Knife

Thanks for visiting my talk page. If you want to view my archives, look at past revisions of this page. I will not create a separate subpage since it is a waste of space. If you have a question about why I deleted a certain page, please use the section right below this message. Be sure to create a sub-header for the article you're talking about. For these questions, I will answer back on this page for simplicity and to avoid multiple questions regarding the same page.--Knife (talk) 19:07, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Why was ___ deleted?

Penguin Playground

Could you restore the Penguin Playground article? It's a real name. Fawfulfury65 just put the deletion template becuase she thought it was a fake name. It's not. So could you restore it? Either you or Tucayo. - Billtn 01:19, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

You need to provide some official proof. Youtube video titles are not considered official proof.--Knife (talk) 12:47, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not talking about this on YouTube, I mean that if you look on the World article and that you find World 3 of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, you can see that it is also called Penguin Playground. I hope you understand me? Billtn

According to this, no one found proof for the names. I don't know why the names are on the World article, but they should be removed immediately. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, but unless you bring better proof than the youtube or an article, Penguin Playground will remain deleted.--Knife (talk) 18:58, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Red Orb, Yellow Orb, Blue Orb, Coleco

Dude, this wiki needs an article on the Red, Blue, and Yellow Orbs from super paper mario, but they keep getting deleted. When will they be on here? They are an ITEM from super paper mario and deserve an article. Mileycyrussoulja 13:59, 7 November 2010 (UTC) PS: And why did you delete coleco? Even lindsay151 worked on it, and she knows what shes doing.

You should probably create a combined article for all of the Orbs since individually they don't have enough information. Somewhere like Template:Fakelink will be fine. Also, I deleted Coleco because it was a new stub article. As you should already know, new stub articles are deleted immediately.--Knife (talk) 16:12, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

DK Jungle Sunset

Hello! I saw you deleted the article Template:Fakelink. I created it because Garlic Stapler asked me to do that. Is it not better with stubs than none information at all? And anyone can extend it. - File:Yoshi Egg Big.gif (t) Yoshi's Island (c)File:PM2 Yoshi.PNG 17:21, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

We have created a policy that new stubs are not allowed. The attitude that someone else will expand it beyond a stub for you is not a helpful editing style. This is because many stubs created get completely ignored while red links get better attention from potential editors. Garlic Stapler may have said it was okay to create the article, but not create a new stub. Some info is better than none, but not when it detracts editing traffic.--Knife (talk) 06:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I understand. - File:Yoshi Egg Big.gif (t) Yoshi's Island (c)File:PM2 Yoshi.PNG 16:34, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Shroob Missile

Why did you delete the Shroob Missle article? I'm kinda new here, so when I went to create it, It had "Warning. This page has already been deleted by another user" or something along those lines. -User:AxemGreen33

Shroob Missile was deleted because it was an unofficial name, not notable, and was a new stub article. Hope that answers your question.--Knife (talk) 15:45, 17 January 2011 (EST)

New Super Mario Bros. Coin World

In response of deleting, I don't really think that thing is considered merchandise. It's another Coin medal game made by Capcom, the guys who also made Super Mario Fushigi no Korokoro Party along with its' sequel, and Korokoro Catcher; along with Donkey Kong: Jungle Fever, and Donkey Kong: Banana Kingdom. The only reasons I didn't provide more info is because I can't translate what it says in the following images, and that I'm critically more focused on adding entries in the Merchandise section, along with it's sub-sections. Can you please restore the article? It bears more info when the japanese text is translated, and deserves it's own article. --RAP... 22:12, 14 January 2011 (EST)

I suppose I can, but I can't let a conjecturally named two liner be created. You can either make it a sub-page of yours until you get more information or keep the information on Toys#Other Mario-themed games for now. For merchandise, the criteria to having an article is the availability of content. For example, Super Mario Bros. Mushroom World does not have it's own article despite being officially named and being a arcade game.--Knife (talk) 19:25, 20 January 2011 (EST)

Instrument Tikis

Hello, the Kalimba Tiki and the other tikis names are found on the DK Wiki with those exact names!--DKPetey99^TCE

DK Wiki is not an official source.--Knife (talk) 10:15, 6 March 2011 (EST)

Can we restore the Tikis and use the {{conjecture}}?

DKPetey99^TCE 10:24, 14 April 2011 (EDT)

Nope. They simply aren't notable enough on their own. All they do is possess the boss and nothing else.--Knife (talk) 20:33, 17 April 2011 (EDT)

Can we make an article called Instrument Tikis?

DKPetey99^TCE 12:04, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

No, because that name is unofficial. It wouldn't be much different from the article we currently have anyway.--Knife (talk) 12:06, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

We should create the Kalimba Tiki because he is major. Unlike the others, he appears on the box! He is probably the leader of the Instrument Tikis! Major Kalimba. Or is it General? Probably Admiral.

Furuta Chocolate Eggs

Why did you deleted that page? I know you added that tiny description in the Food (merchandise) page, but now there's no list of figurines!!
If you think those eggs didn't need a page on their own I disagree! These figurines are of the best ever made and were very popular in Japan! They deserve an article, at least as long as we don't have images for all of them! I might be wrong, but YOU might as well be wrong! Before deleting a page you should propose the deletion and then let the users decide!--Kombatgod 10:58, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

First of all, read the top of the page. You need to create a sub-section under this section to bring up deletions. That being said, I merged it simply for consistency. All food related products are covered under one article. If anything, you need to create a Talk Page Proposal to break that consistency, not the other way around. As for information loss, you can still add information, I just merged what I felt was most relevant to the product. Hope that helps.--Knife (talk) 14:06, 22 April 2011 (EDT)

Barrel Blast and Color Capture

Those weren't stubs, they had all the information that I can get and they were both like 6 sentences long! DKPetey99^TCE 14:48, 2 May 2011 (EDT)

Hi. I deleted Barrel Blast because because it was insufficiently detailed. The only sentence regarding what the game is or how to play it is covered in this single sentence The objective is to blast the most barrels.. How does the player do that exactly? What controls are used to play the game? You provided basic information, but you didn't really put any effort into writing that article. Color Capture was also deleted for similar reasons. This time, you provided good information about how to play the game, but you neglected to mention what stage looks like or what the controls are for the player.

Just look at the Buried Treasure article for example. It is well detailed despite having the same amount of simplicity as those subjects you tried to create an article for. Try aiming for something like that. If you would like to continue working on those deleted pages, I can provide you the source coding for those articles before I deleted them.--Knife (talk) 00:09, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Can I recreate them and give the details that you said are essential for the article? DKPetey99^TCE 17:16, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Of course. Here's the source data (I threw in comments italicized in parenthesis).

'''Barrel Blast''' is an event in the [[Jungle Jam Tournament]] from the game ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' (This sentence seems okay.). It consists of two battles that are simply called '''Barrel Blast 1''' and '''Barrel Blast 2''' (This sentence also seems okay.). The first battle is in a jungle setting (Okay... that's real detailed. This needs to be expanded on a little more). The objective is to blast the most [[Barrel|barrels]] (Isn't this redundant? The title of the article is named Barrel Blast.). The player gets forty seconds in the battle (Forty seconds to do what?). The second battle is in a cave setting (Again, the you need to detail the location better.). Like the previous battle, the player gets forty seconds (This sentence is unneeded and is redundant.). This battle only has four peg boards on each side (What exactly does that mean? What do the peg boards do? What are they?).

The other one is written a little better, but is still incomplete.

'''Color Capture''' is an event in the [[Jungle Jam Tournament]] from the game ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' (No problems here.). There is only one battle that is simply called '''Color Capture''' (This really doesn't need to be said, so I'm not going to count it towards the article content.). The objective is to climb the most peg boards (No problems here.). When the player covers a peg board, it turns a certain color. The player can cover the covered boards that the computer climbed and the comper can do the same (No problems here, just really confusing wording in the second sentence.). Player one's color is red and the computer gets light blue, yellow, and green (Good detail here.). The player gets forty seconds to complete this battle (No problems here.). (While the article's available content is generally good, it is still missing some vital information (see below).)

Other comments: These article are missing vital information for a mini-game article like controls, how points are calculated, gimmicks (I'm sure there are some), and what happens if the player wins/loses.

Anyway, good luck on recreating those articles with more in-depth content. If you have any questions, let me know.--Knife (talk) 17:59, 3 May 2011 (EDT)

Did I do a good job, or are you disappointed? DKPetey99^TCE 20:47, 5 May 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, you did good. Just one thing though, try adding in a separate section for controls.--Knife (talk) 21:24, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Double Kick

Why did you delete this article? It's a real move in SMG and SMG2. It actually is an official name, and is in a video in the Super Mario Galaxy 2 official website. ThirdMarioBro: Mario, Luigi, and me! 20:08, 7 May 2011 (EDT)

Can you please provide the direct link and exact timeframe?--Knife (talk) 21:24, 8 May 2011 (EDT)

Here. There isn't a direct link, so once you get to the website, press the "Super Play" link. It will automatically play the "Creative Play 1" video, and the Double Kick part is in the middle of the video. You can't skip a part of the video, since trying to drag the button just takes you back to the beginning, so keep watching until you see the Double Kick. ThirdMarioBro: Mario, Luigi, and me! 18:21, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Ah, okay. I have reviewed the video and what you say seems to be true. Restoring article.--Knife (talk) 22:34, 9 May 2011 (EDT)

Why was this deleted? It seems pretty wiki-worth to me. Wiiboy4ever 22:27, 17 May 2011 (EDT)

Wassup

Hows it goin knife? I just needed advice on a Gallery template i made per a passed proposal. Look at Template:Galleries. I want it to be similar to the Staff Teams template except it can have subheaders for characters, games, etc. Right now its not going as planed. You think u can work on it? Mileycyrussoulja 16:43, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Bro could you stop with the reminders? I didnt know that making abbreviation disambig pages was bad, i was only trying to help. You could have just told me. Mileycyrussoulja 17:31, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

No offense, but thats kinda creepy, in a way. Other admins can just check the recent changes. But its kinda getting annoying getting a bunch of reminders for little things that i never knew were bad or against policy. I learn from my mistakes. Mileycyrussoulja 19:36, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

OK, thanks bro. Mileycyrussoulja 21:44, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about that, I won't do it again. WigglerWhoopinWarrior135'

Sorry for the useless redirects

Yeah, sorry. But what's your opinion on the article? Bowser's luma 19:51, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. But how does it violate? Please don't merge it just yet, I worked real hard on it. Bowser's luma

It in no way violates that. It's a real life monster truck that was inspired solely by Donkey Kong. It's licensed by Nintendo. Bowser's luma

Thanks so much. And don't go making a real life references page just so mine gets merged ;) Bowser's luma 20:10, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I suggested that page to Edo and he said go for it, so I did. I'm a big monster truck fan, so I figured I'd be the best person for the job. Bowser's luma

Conjectural Names

Hi Knife! I was told you were working on a policy regarding conjectural names, so I thought you might want to take a look at a proposal I made, which deals with the conjectural names of SMG planets. The proposal says that conjectural names should be clear, professional and straightforward, and should be noted they are conjectural by using a new template, {{Conjecturaltext}}. Please tell me what you think about this proposal. Ok, the proposal was deleted because it was unnecessary, so now my question is, should this new policy about naming planets (clear, professional and straightforward, as well as using that template to alert the readers they are not official names) be written somewhere?--™ The 'Shroom 12:15, 31 December 2010 (EST)

Max2 and WarioLoaf

Remember Max2 and WarioLoaf? Yes I am sure you do. They are blocked due to vandals hacking in their accounts and for their vandalism. Truly, I think a vandal hacked into their accounts because they made good contributions in the past and suddenly they then vandalized. Thanks Kaptain K. Rool

Interesting theory.--Knife (talk) 19:28, 22 February 2011 (EST)

You believe it? I am guessing and thanks for the comment. What is interesting about this theory? Kaptain K. Rool

I don't necessarily believe it, but I think it is interesting because it could have happened.--Knife (talk) 19:56, 22 February 2011 (EST)

I know, but the question is how did vandals do that? P.S. Maybe you should unblock them. I saw Max2 contribute on Kirby.wikia.com on June 4, 2010 and he didn't vandalize and so did WarioLoaf on other wikis. Kaptain K. Rool

It's not up to me. If they were truly innocent, they should've contacted the admins by now.--Knife (talk) 21:10, 22 February 2011 (EST)

Sure ok :D I have also found some more clues about Max2 on his September 22, 2007 contribution he stated it was his last edit and 1 month and 29 days later, he (mainly a vandal) vandalized pages. Also Knife, some people might not have e-mail addresses. Thanks Kaptain K. Rool

That really doesn't mean much. I never said they can only be contacted through E-mail. They can use the forum or chatroom. Either way, I doubt they'd be interested in coming back after all this time.--Knife (talk) 14:13, 26 February 2011 (EST)

I am very sorry

Why did you give me a reminder? I edit each page in sections (ease for my netbook), and sometimes, I see something that I have not corrected yet, but I want to edit. It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 21:35, 24 February 2011 (EST)

For your circumstance, I will let it go. Thanks for clarifying that with me, your reminder has been removed.--Knife (talk) 21:37, 24 February 2011 (EST)

Proposal

I have created a new proposal here and I was wondering. Is it OK to do that? Thanks... Kaptain K. Rool

I don't see why not. Go for it. You probably should be proposing it on the proposal page though.--Knife (talk) 15:18, 26 February 2011 (EST)

Why? Kaptain K. Rool

Why what?--Knife (talk) 15:23, 26 February 2011 (EST)

Never mind I moved it to the MarioWiki:Proposals page as two people (with one including you) asked me so I did it. Also can you please comment there? Thanks. Kaptain K. Rool

I really have nothing to comment on at this time. Sorry.--Knife (talk) 15:30, 26 February 2011 (EST)

Hello, Knife. I just removed the proposal in question because I deemed it a violation of proposal rule 12. The rule states that proposals concerning promotions are invalid. The proposal in question deals with the creation of a page that would be a direct violation of rule 12. The proposal has been restored due to the permission you gave earlier. I think under the circumstances I described, the proposal should be/remain deleted. Could you please reconsider your stance in this? - Gabumon^(talk) 16:23, 26 February 2011 (EST)

If it's against the rules, I have no problems with it. I hadn't really noticed that rule, sorry about that.--Knife (talk) 20:29, 27 February 2011 (EST)

A question

Won't that be funny if you had user counterparts called Spoon and Fork seeing that you are Knife? Kaptain K. Rool

I guess. Since you're here, I just want to warn you that gnomework is not a good way to get promoted. In fact, we find it quite annoying. Try to make more meaningful contributions that don't flood up the recent changes.--Knife (talk) 13:47, 6 March 2011 (EST)

WHat do you mean gnomework? I am trying to help the wiki. YOu can hide the minor edits if it kinda bugs you. Why is gnomework bad again and what makes you think that gnomework makes people contribute for sysop powers? Kaptain K. Rool

I never said that gnomework was bad. I was pointing out that gnomework does not help very much if you want to be considered for promotion. I mention this because a lot of users have the misconception that more minor edits>less major edits.--Knife (talk) 13:56, 6 March 2011 (EST)

Minor edits? Oh sure I do want sysop powers ans I am not going to ask for them because steve says it is against the rules to ask for sysop powers. I am adding galleries to pages and these minor edits took a lot of hard work so it actually was hard work. Kaptain K. Rool

Reverting

[1] Stop reverting my edits, I'm doing it right. P.S. I know that you're "admin". SWFlash

You're in no position to tell me to stop reverting your edits. Until you provide a good reason for using file instead of image, I'm just going to ahead and lock the page.--Knife (talk) 07:47, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

While you're at it, add this site as recomended free converter. Convertfiles.com can only convert audio ogg but this one does the same with videos only. SWFlash

You can add that in yourself once the page is unprotected. I suggest you defend your position on Help talk:Media as to why we should use File: instead of Image:. I don't plan on protecting the page indefinitely and I'm open to new ideas, so you don't necessary need to concede.--Knife (talk) 17:02, 15 April 2011 (EDT)

Superfiremario

Why did you block him? I got this message that explains why he should not be blocked.

Look here as well.

Yeah, I don't know about this...usually, Sysops or Patrollers handle this sort of thing by reminding users about it on their talkpage: ergo, if certain users have been reminded or warned as many times as they have, Sysops or Patrollers must not think that stricter actions need to be taken at this point. At any rate, I hardly think that too many userspace edits compared to their mainspace edits is deserving of a block; it's not as if they're directly doing anything that's detrimental to the wiki, not to say that it is necessarily okay either, but still...

Remembered Old Buddy

Understood, I had no idea that Glowsquid dealt with him as well. I will unblock him for now and see what the other admins have to say about the matter.--Knife (talk) 19:12, 18 April 2011 (EDT)

Don't

Don't do it! Don't protect my userpage! I will be off MarioWiki until April 30th. Protect my userpage until then. Okay? Superfiremario 16:34, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Sorry, but you had this coming. I was actually going to block you for 2 weeks instead, so thank your buddy who spoke up for you.--Knife (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2011 (EDT)

Stuff

Can you please delete the talk page of a deleted article, Talk:Timber 64. Thank you. If real, then please undelete Timber's 64. Some people think it is fake and some people may not. Kaptain K. Rool

There is no data for that article, so I can't restore it.--Knife (talk) 12:10, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

That can't be it, there is no edit history either.--Knife (talk) 12:14, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

If you read the deletion history, there is no proof that this game was ever in production.--Knife (talk) 12:19, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Oh. Glowsquid's point. Also why is User:Toa Waluigi deleted? That user just had Willy on Wheels hack his account so I am not telling you off or anything, but his talk didn't get deleted so I was seeing your opinion if you want to undelete User:Toa Waluigi. So, thank you sir. See if that is reasonable... Kaptain K. Rool

He voluntarily blanked his own page. There is no proof Willy hacked his account.--Knife (talk) 12:51, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Check his contributions on November 4 then some previous ones and you'll see what I mean. Kaptain K. Rool

Whatever the reason, it's too late now. There would be no point in undeleting his userpage now. If he was truly hacked, he should have E-mailed us about it.--Knife (talk) 13:45, 23 April 2011 (EDT)

Knife

Hey Knife. Check the To Be Deleted category. There is stuff that is needed to be deleted. A lot of stuff. Kaptain K. Rool

I'm not concerned with that right now. I have other things on my plate.--Knife (talk) 18:24, 24 April 2011 (EDT)

Oh. Um.. ok. You should be glad you weren't part of the Xzelion argument. It was horrible. Kaptain K. Rool

My personal image!

I'm not intended to fight but I would've liked that you could send me a comment on my talk page that you were going to delete one of my personal images. I was aware that I've exceeded the number but I never tried to get more that I had exceeded. ¢oincoll€ctor

I figured it was a waste of time to tell every single user that I was going to delete their personal images (the Sitenotice is warning enough anyway). I apologize if I offended you by deleting your image without asking, but I feel that must adhere to the rules that we have set (this is especially important for Administrators). You can still undelete it, save the image, and link to it externally so it won't count as a Personal Image.--Knife (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Image Question

Hi Knife 1 question for you. Is this image cropped from the Monty Mole artwork?File:Bulletsunshine.JPG --File:Yoshi4.jpegYoshidude99 06:31, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Very insightful! Yes, it is cropped from the official artwork from the Monty Mole artwork in Super Mario Sunshine. At the time, I couldn't get a better image, so don't hesitate to replace it.--Knife (talk) 13:08, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Donkey Kong Country

How much do you know about that game? Kaptain K. Rool

Nothing. I know that Donkey Kong is the main character though.--Knife (talk) 13:18, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Why would you think that?--Knife (talk) 14:11, 25 April 2011 (EDT)

Thirty

Unprotect Help:Media already! If you won't, I'll tell another porplemo- admin to sort everything out. Now: why do you think the 'Image:' is better than 'File:'. There was no standards about prefering Image: rather than File: and vice-verca. So by reverting my edits, it's like changing british english to american english on Wikipedia, not very politely. You should admit that neither is better, but there are two buts: the File: is used on every image and video article, thus less confusing for newbies and the File: is shorter by 1 byte than Image:, less to type. Also you did nothing regarding my "add online-convert.com to the article", you just ignored it…and I should stop right here to avoid other reminders. SWFlash

Good points. That's pretty much all I was looking for. I have slightly edited the page in a way that it mentions that both methods are acceptable.--Knife (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

Thank you. I'm also planning to add screenshots of those programs/sites and delete the "At a Cost" section, since the Super(c) is almost the same as 4Music, but with different UI. SWFlash

Sure, I'd be fine with that. Goob job.--Knife (talk) 18:25, 27 April 2011 (EDT)

• The message you gave me, for a moment there it seemed like I was going to lose my Sysop status. I never recalled doing anything that would get me demoted, so I was pretty shocked when I got an urgent message like that. M&SG (talk) 08:17, 1 May 2011 (EDT)
  • Okay, so I looked at that thread, and it seems that my history of deleting stuff hasn't gone unpunished. I guess being naive with the deletion reasons has its drawbacks.
    Anyway, I am practicing the use of the protect and unprotect templates, just in case I do end up getting demoted back to Patroller (or Autoconfirmed if Patroller isn't acceptable either). I already know how to use the {{delete}} template, since I've had to use that before my Sysop promotion. M&SG (talk) 10:28, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Blocked User Page Deletion

• Why am I so stupid for falling for those delete reasons?! If I keep being naive, then I might as well get demoted from being a Sysop. M&SG (talk) 18:23, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Double Redirect

• I've been going through a list of double redirects, and one of them involves the user, Nintendo64Fan. Right now, his original name, WikiofSmash, redirects to Dr.Wario, which redirects to Nintendo64Fan. Do you think you can resolve that issue? M&SG (talk) 09:17, 28 September 2011 (EDT)
• A new double redirect issue has come by that you should take care of. User:Mathew10 redirects to User:Mariofan457, which redirects to User:Mario777. M&SG (talk) 10:35, 14 October 2011 (EDT)

Passed Proposal

• Your proposal passed, regarding MarioWiki:Upcoming content. M&SG (talk) 19:29, 8 December 2011 (EST)

I am 11 yaers old! Chill out, dude! Sorry. I thought I was just being helpful.Paperphailurethemariomonster99 (talk)

And I'm 7 years old. So what? (Not really 7 years old)--Knife (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Koopa Yoshi is back

http://www.mariowiki.com/User_talk:VideoBoo#New see here Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Thanks for informing us.--Knife (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2011 (EDT)

Heyyyy

How's life Knife? ^Plumber 00:56, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Can't complain, same ol', same ol'. How bout you, you sticking around this time?--Knife (talk) 16:42, 11 May 2011 (EDT)

Stub?

?? DKPetey99^TCE

I don't think it's a stub. No problem there.--Knife (talk) 19:05, 12 May 2011 (EDT)

Sorry! DKPetey99^TCE

So Parrot and Shark will be deleted? DKPetey99^TCE

Not necessarily, but it is a possibility.--Knife (talk) 18:54, 13 May 2011 (EDT)

Thanks for deleting my article.

It's not like I was working on it or anything. --JanuaryThunder 20:01, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

Haha very funny. Hey, but make sure you start off with more content if you do recreate it. You can work on it on your userspace until you have a decent sized article.--Knife (talk) 22:42, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

Page Idea

I have a new idea for a page, please don't take it if it's my idea! My idea is Cage. Cages do appear in many games, and it is used mostly to capture Princess Peach! Would it be a good idea?

DKPetey99^TCE 10:57, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

Also, please block Luma. He just created a fanmade page which he has been warned for in the past! DKPetey99 10:59, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

I don't think so. Cages are simple object that can be better covered elsewhere. What can we say about them besides what games they appear in?--Knife (talk) 11:29, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

I don't know, look here. DKPetey99^TCE 11:32, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

Stubs

How do you remove stubs from the Unstubify Page Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Add information and delete {{Stub}}.--Knife (talk) 23:53, 21 May 2011 (EDT)

Ive done that already but there still on the list Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Huh... why don't you hard refresh (ctrl+F5) and see if that works.--Knife (talk) 00:18, 22 May 2011 (EDT)

Minor Edits

Knife a while ago you told me I hadn't made enough Minor Edits have I made enough now? I have been making a lot of them now. Please tell me if I have.--Yoshidude99 12:52, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

Ok thanks.--Yoshidude99 12:57, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

DON'T DELETE MY PAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've said Don't delete. And what do you do? You delete my page! Don't do this! Sonic & Boofan 13:11, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

You said that you were blocking Sonic & Boofan. It doesn't have that box that says this user is blocked. Did you even block him?YoshiGo99

Where does it say that?--Knife (talk) 21:04, 28 May 2011 (EDT)

I was talking about that template that says this user is blocked for... But it was put on Sonic & Boofan's Talk so never mind.YoshiGo99

RE: Merge your subpages

Uh, okay, sure. Are userbox tower supages okay to keep? MrConcreteDonkey 17:45, 2 June 2011 (EDT)

Okay. Well, I've taken everything I wanted to keep and put them back on my userpage, so now you (or another sysop) can delete the sub-pages. Thanks for warning me about that! MrConcreteDonkey 15:25, 4 June 2011 (EDT)

Aboutfile

Huh? You mean on all the images I upload? 0_e.--UM3000

Question

there was a proposal here [[3]] that was mislabeled i think was mislabeled a NO Quorum and the proposer is currently banned my question is, if the proposal was mislabeled is it still valid Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

The proposal is still valid. Even if the proposer had been banned while the TPP was active, the only thing that would happen is that the proposer's vote would be removed.--Knife (talk) 19:11, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

Huh?

But... You told me to create pages! Tell me what to do.

Re: Reminder

I'm sorry, I actually did not notice that sidenote up there until you just pointed it out. It won't happen again. DKPetey99^TCE 15:29, 15 June 2011 (EDT)

Re:Merge

Actually, better yet, you can delete it straight up, I don't want anything off of it anymore, I made it just out of desire to have some sort of coherent thought on one whole situation at the time, it's useless now. Thanks. Bop1996 _(Talk)

Reply

Normally, I'd be able to copy the coding (especially since the article came from my subpage), but technical issues prevented me from doing so, and since I was therefore unable to move content from point A to point B (in case you're wondering, I'm using one of Nintendo's console browsers, which can't copy or paste anyway), I asked for help. Fortunately and obviously, the issue has been resolved. Mario4Ever (talk)

Good to hear. Well, if you need help with anything, let me know.--Knife (talk) 14:32, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

Will do. Mario4Ever (talk)

Okey-dokey

Awesome. I'm ready too. - Walkazo 14:37, 22 June 2011 (EDT)

R U Xzelion?

You said the same thing that Xzelion said: "And I'm seven years old. So what? (Not really 7 years old.)" BTW, can I have my page back to get my userboxes? Please? Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Yes, yes I am. And no, you had been warned serveral times not to edit your user page so much and you didn't listen. We could've just blocked you for 3 months instead, would that have been better? I'm not trying to be rude, but you need to shape up and stop worrying so much about your user page.--Knife (talk) 16:09, 23 June 2011 (EDT)

Waitwaitwait. Knife and Xzelion have always been the same person? HK-47

Doesn't matter. If you are Knife, then we need to stay in contact man. I think I still have some of your pokemon. I wanna give them back. And I also just want to be in contact in general. HK-47

I don't really need the Pokemon back, but you can always keep in touch on the forums.--Knife (talk) 16:56, 24 June 2011 (EDT)

Request

Would you mind protecting this? I don't plan on touching it again any time soon (should I ever want to, I'll be sure to notify either you or someone else), and I don't want other users doing so either (admins being an exception). Thanks. Mario4Ever (talk)

Sure thing.--Knife (talk) 00:33, 25 June 2011 (EDT)

Olors 09:47, 2 July 2011 (EDT)

You are the only Sysop I know without a userpage....

Thanks...?--Knife (talk) 14:37, 3 July 2011 (EDT)

Socky

I think I found Peachycakes: ----->User:Super Princess Daisy Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Not cool man. Don't accuse other users of being a sockpuppet unless you have reasonable cause.--Knife (talk) 11:35, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

I do: Peachycakes had that Super Princess Daisy stuff, and that is this user's USERNAME. I can't/don't know how to check IP Addresses. Niiue - Who has lost his tail?

Protect

Hey Knife! Do you mind protecting this and this? Like M4E said above, I don't want other users trying to spam or stuff like that on those. I only want sysops editing them if it is needed. Supremo 11:31, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Done.--Knife (talk) 11:35, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Thanks! Supremo 11:33, 8 July 2011 (EDT)

Kaptain K. Rool B

Is he Kaptain K. Rool? Hope not! DKPetey99^TCE 14:35, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Lindsay's block comment said "go away plumber" so no :) Yoshiwaker

Good! DKPetey99^TCE 14:39, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Err... yay? Guys, my talk page isn't a forum. Also, I can confirm that it was not the user Kaptain K. Rool.--Knife (talk) 14:46, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

In advance...

Hey Knife. I just want to ask in advance. Once I'm done with my story can I make a subpage called User:Supremo78/SA or something like that? Supremo 14:49, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

Nope. Put that stuff on Userpedia or on your own user page.--Knife (talk) 14:50, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

K thanks for your answer. Supremo 14:51, 12 July 2011 (EDT)

My talk page

I would like to clear my talk page, like clear it of text, but Im afraid I have 2 reminders, and if I delete them, I'll get a warning. what do I do? Ilovemarioandtoad (talk)

Why do you want to clear the text? Just archive it.--Knife (talk) 19:18, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

I answered the question before you Knife. :P. But he might still notice your reply.--UM3000

Okay, thanks.--Knife (talk) 15:26, 17 July 2011 (EDT)

Sockpuppet

The Password Borrower is plumber690 Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Looks like I was too late.--Knife (talk) 14:11, 19 July 2011 (EDT)

Question

According to the Subcon King article his name is Unknown I but i talked to the guy who wrote the article and he said the name came from a sprite sheet so can it be considered official Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

The guy he's refering to is me. I found this picture from Mario Fan Games Galaxy.[4] I thought the name above his image was real, so it could be considered as his official name right?

Well, the name above his head on that sprite sheet says Unknown 1, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Either way, a name on a sprite sheet is unofficial since sprite sheets are classified as fan creations, therefore "Subcon King" is a fan name.--Knife (talk) 19:18, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

We currently don't have an official name so, I guess Subcon King, Subcon's King or King of Subcon is currently good enough for him. He is king after all, and that's what he really is.--Prince Ludwig 19:22, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

Whatever you guys decide on is okay with me. Just be sure to use {{Conjecture}}.--Knife (talk) 21:17, 28 July 2011 (EDT)

Userpedia

Knife, how do I get a Userpedia Article???? Pdjr9000 14:52, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Not too sure. I assume you just register there and make it yourself.--Knife (talk) 15:12, 3 August 2011 (EDT)

Article Idea

Would it be appropriate to create the article, "Koopa Krag's grandson"? I know it seems useless, but he is a notable Koopa and I can mention stuff about his appearance in the game and his badge and figurine description, too. I also just did some research, and discovered the Koopa's friend badge and figurine depicts its name as "Koopa". So can I make "Koopa (Mario Party DS)". Get back to me, and if its a yes, I will make the article. DKPetey99^TCE 15:09, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Yeah, sounds good. You're gonna have to squeeze information out of the story and describe his appearance to get decent content though, but I'm sure you can pull it off.--Knife (talk) 16:23, 6 August 2011 (EDT)

Thanks

Thanks for the reminder. i'll be more careful next time. Mini-Ian

Re:

Oh ok. I saw Wayoshi's like that though. Supremo

I don't think he's very active a lot, although I saw him online yesterday, so he may not respond. Supremo

I'm sure he'll pop by during awards time.--Knife (talk) 11:35, 11 August 2011 (EDT)

Come off it

The userboxes take too much coding space on my page... you can delete MKWii Records I guess if you want. That's some silly new rules though... Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:43, 12 August 2011 (EDT)

Forms

I thought you were going to merge the Forms page to the Form Baton page. Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 08:08, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

Sorry about that, thanks for letting me know. It is done.--Knife (talk) 12:53, 27 August 2011 (EDT)

Sockppupet

I'm fairly confident that SuperWarioBros is a sockpuppet of GigaMario1924‎ who was also a sockpuppet the reason i think he is a sockpuppet is because both SuperWarioBros and GigaMario1924 share the name Jacob Kuhn Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

IP check shows nothing. Could just be a big coincidence.--Knife (talk) 16:26, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Ok than just checking he's done a few other things like removing the Block template from GigaMario1924‎ and replacing it with a last warning but i guess it's just a very weird coincidence lol Goomba's Shoe15 (talk)

Don't worry, IP checks aren't the only tools at our disposal. Now that you've notified me, the entire administrative team is keeping a close eye on him. We've caught many sockpuppets that have completely different IPs.--Knife (talk) 16:36, 3 September 2011 (EDT)

Spammer

Andresito333 is spamming the Mario Kart (series) article. PikaSamus (talk)

He isn't really spamming, he is changing everything in Spanish. It seems like spamming though.YoshiGo99

I took care of it; and actually, it DOES count as spamming. The rules say that the primary language of this Wiki for main articles is English language only. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 12:39, 29 October 2011 (EDT)

Proposal

What did you mean with "I don't really disagree with the premise, but I feel your proposal isn't specific enough to actually do something. What I think you should do is make a draft page detailing navigation color scheme and put up a Writing Guideline proposal."? Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 18:28, 5 December 2011 (EST)

The reason I said that was because your proposal description only states that we should do something about template colors and organize them by series. Even if it passes, there would be no real change since you don't have a specific policy or guideline in place to deal with implementing your proposal. That's why I suggested you make a Writing Guideline with a draft instead.--Knife (talk) 10:43, 6 December 2011 (EST)

Hey

What's a Guide Line? How can I make one if I don't what it is? Bro Hammer (Talk • Cont) 17:01, 8 December 2011 (EST)

Read MarioWiki:Writing Guideline for more info. Look at some pages in Category:Writing Guidelines for examples.--Knife (talk) 17:22, 8 December 2011 (EST)

Question

Would you consider what Prince Ludwig said in the comments of the Lakitu Character page disrespectful Raven Effect (talk)

More like confusing. Doesn't offend me, but he better be careful throwing out accusations like that.--Knife (talk) 17:20, 8 December 2011 (EST)

TPP for Red Lakitu

Thank you for your peaceful solution to the matter, although I personally don't care which side is right on this matter, I just hope they resolve it peacefully soon, also thanks for giving me a solution to a similar matter I've been in. -Four Paper Heroes 17:46, 8 December 2011 (EST)

No problem.--Knife (talk) 17:47, 8 December 2011 (EST)
