User talk:GBAToad

Hi, you've reached my talk page. If I don’t respond to a message immediately, it probably means I’m busy editing the awesome wiki you are currently looking at (LONG LIVE MARIOWIKI AND ITS USERS). I don’t have a proper e-mail account yet, so you can’t really reach me on the forums if your message is really important (sorry D:).

If you don't mind, I'd prefer that you did not use vulgar language, but feel free to sign with your own signature (I love how creative some of them are.) :D

Welcome!

Re: Thanks!

You're welcome! Would you mind to caption the character arts as well after I put them on the article?

You are, well done.

There are also some more art and screenshots to upload, but I need to go now so I'll get them later. Nice to meet you.

Mario Kills Tanooki

How about a page for all Mario-controversies? Or for controversies of PETA where Mario appeard in? 'Cause Mario appeared in PETA's campaign against KFC en McDonald's too. Yes man (talk) 11:26, 25 April 2013 (EDT)

RE: Luigi's Mansion

I'm not really familiar with the game, so I wouldn't really know what to look for. I suggest that you ask Yami. She's got a device which can capture quality screenshots straight from her 3DS.

Re: You. Are. Awesome.

Awww, thanks so much for your kind words. I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the articles - especially the second one, since I was a bit worried that readers' eyes would glaze over once the science lecture kicked in. It's very awesome that you want to learn more about genetics, and this is a great time to be interested in the field: what I talked about was barely scratching the surface of the amazing things that happen in our genomes, and our knowledge of genetics is moving forward in leaps and bounds thanks to modern technology. It's fascinating stuff, and I hope you'll have as much geeky fun learning about it as I have over the years. Thanks again, talk to you later! - Walk azo 21:20, 27 April 2013 (EDT)

Yeah, when I heard about Pokémon X and Y, I immediately thought about chromosomes too: I also hope that that particular allusion plays into the games somehow. My favourite part of genetics was learning how to solve complex puzzles using APOG (the Awesome Power Of Genetics), sorta like what I did for the Koopalings, but way trickier (it was second year university, after all), with multiple genes and with the end goal being to actually map out where those genes are found on the chromosomes. Experiment-wise, the most interesting thing I got to do was make bacteria glow in my Grade 12 biology and biotechnology classes; if you're interested, I actually wrote a Mario fanfiction that is basically a walkthrough of exactly how to do the lab (my biology teacher asked us to do creative lab reports, and that is what I came up with). - Walk azo 00:53, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Controversies

When are you going to make that page about Mario controversies? Yes man (talk) 04:44, 29 April 2013 (EDT)

Re:Proposal

Hi, very sorry for the late reply. We don't have a page for that, so by all means, go ahead and create a Proposal about it. As for where to put it, here would be good.

Re: Coding help

Sure man. How does this look:

{|class="expandable" style="border:1px solid gray; width:100%; font-family:Helvetica; font-color:{{{fontcolor|#000}}}; text-align:left"
!bgcolor={{{bgcolor|#fff}}} colspan=4 align=center|''Welcome''
|-
|{{Welcome|YoshiKong|name=GBAToad}}
|}

You can customize the colors if you want, and if you need any further help with anything let me know.

Re: Conjectural Name

Bomb Sled, eh? If the name is brief and descriptive, then it's a suitable conjectural name.

Re: Wario

It would be appropriate, yes. --™ The 'Shroom 21:05, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

Yes

I'll help once I get these names changed appropriately. --APA TKB 09:24, 7 May 2013 (EDT)

Right, there's some on the starting sprites for the characters in Mario Party 7, you do some. --APA TKB

Redirect deletions

Hey there, great job with moving the filenames, but may I just point out one very minor issue. When tagging redirects for deletion, be sure to tag it above, not below the redirect coding. This way, the redirect would be broken so the page is easier to reach. Thanks for reading, and keep contributing.

File renames

Hello, thanks for the help for getting rid of repulsive filenames I regrettably made. However, I should have handled renaming some of the MKAGP2 names, since some of them are disorganized if you play the game (for example, the Baby Mario and Baby Luigi arts you did; they're out of order in actuality so I had to take the task of renaming some of them into the order encountered in the course). Ray Trace^(T|C) 20:09, 9 May 2013 (EDT)

I don't mind at all if you do any at all! Bu if there's any art you're unsure what it's supposed to be, and I uploaded it, it's best to inform me about it. I don't like renaming files myself; it's too much of a big hassle to change all the links around.

Re: Proposal

It should be archived as soon as it meets the deadline, so users won't vote cast invalid votes after the deadline has passed.

Well I got the gist of it, and it was still funny ;P

Re: Err on the side of caution

Great! I'll just give it a read. The idea was discussed amongst admins in late April, so I'll just bring it up again and I'll let you know :)

Yep you can create it.

Re: DKCR3D

Feel free to split. There shouldn't be many more official release images left, though I kinda was disappointed of the lack of unique artwork. Most of it has been reused from the Wii version.

If I was to split it, It would have to be tomorrow. Though if you feel like it, then go ahead and do so sooner :)

Galleries

Most of the galleries are done, I believe, but you can search this template to find any galleries that are not organized yet.

Re: NSLU pics

I was just about to do that, but if you wanted to, then I guess that's fine.

Re:Mario-related controversies

Hi! Nice to meet you :p

It's true that I tried to improve this article, because I find it interesting. You did a great job creating this article! By the way, I just created a new redirect: Controversies.

I looked up your sandbox, here are my answers:

Birdo's Gender. — Maybe you could find some informations here. Pretty complete and accurate.

Ashley — I thought about the last point: I think a sped-up version of the first solo only should be uploaded. Also, sped-up by the game, not by some software (if there's any difference)

Universal accuracy — I don't really know :/ Did you reword everything or is it some copy/paste? :)

PETA images — Some images would be fine :)

Mario Party 8 — ?

Other lawsuits — There is this one, but it's Nintendo who sues somebody this time. This one is only about the 3DS. However, this one seems good. The same one, and the same one, again.

Other notes — What warning?

On a side note, I think the whole article should be organized differently. For example, the subsection title should be the name of the game, rather than the theme; or the opposite; anyway, I think it's currently not very consistent. What do you think?
