OGG Files

I noticed two things about OGG files:

  • Seldom use here
  • Potential copyright infringement, even moreso than image uploads, such as screenshots, sprite rips, etc.

Should the below be deleted to force them out of Special:UnusedFiles or can they be used somewhere? Normally, if it were an unused image, I would find a way to repurpose it, find the image that replaced it so that way {{delete}} can be used, or tag as {{tobedeleted}} to generate discussion on iffy deletion. Since these are audio and video files going unused, I am very hesitant these should be used in MarioWiki articles. Copyright is a tricky subject. The safest move here is to just delete these, unless there is a plan with these files beyond my knowledge. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 16:54, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

I don't know much about where they are being linked so use {{not-unused}} on the ones you know for sure are URL-linked. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 17:52, 25 May 2016 (EDT)
I am just going to revive this discussion because I think either a recent software update to MarioWiki occurred that corrected a bug or a template update fixed this issue with most truly used files. The list has been updated. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 22:19, 13 July 2016 (EDT)

Questionable IP

Could you check this IP, I'm pretty sure its Mario's Number 1 Fan (talk) ban evading. (The IP did the same edits the said user did last year and excessively removed valid information). 68.197.157.80. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Sprite of Prince Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. 22:02, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

really quick maintenance.

Can MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 44 be protected as the current one is now MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive 45?

Also if it's not too much of a hassle, can you please edit MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive Header to add the new archive? Thanks--

Redirect breaker

This guy keeps breaking the Final 5 Frenzy redirect, adding in unnecessary info ultimately ruining the redirect. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 21:53, 10 June 2016 (EDT)

Rare (?) Mario Illustration book

Probably from the GameBoy era, I found photos of this book on twitter (Click here) It looks to be a full illustration book Nintendo released, here some pics: Back of characters some friends of Mario Bros

Interesting, right? User:Ashley anEoTselkie/sig

Mario fans sh*t themselves: could you please block him? The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Sprite of Prince Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. 17:35, 19 June 2016 (EDT)

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Hi. Can I ask why you re-added the Chinese name I removed? That name was unofficial and Glowsquid said that unofficial names should not merit an entry in the foreign language box. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 20:42, 20 June 2016 (EDT)

Image ripping

I managed to find a website that shows pictures of all barrel types in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast's instruction manual here as well as a Zinger and a Necky, but I don't know how to rip them as they are saved as pdf's. I tried to edit them in Paint, but I couldn't do it. Do I need PhotoShop or some other hardware to rip them or do you think you can do it? Area51Guard.png A51 Trooper 06:07, 2 July 2016 (EDT)

About my Gloam Valley redirect

Hello I made the redirect to the Flip-Flop Folk page but I did it because the three other town people have redirects. Also I saw it was deleted for having an unofficial name. But Flip-Flop Folk is also unofficial too so yeah sorry for any confusion. The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Sprite of Prince Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. 16:51, 4 July 2016 (EDT)

Vandal

King Nabbit (talk) seems to be a vandal sock. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 14:48, 7 July 2016 (EDT)

about the Vivian screenshots

File:PMTTYD beldam otoko.png
The drawback is that dialogue boxes are closed too quickly in a TAS, and you have to get suboptimal screenshots like this sometimes.

Hi. I saw that you are requesting a better version of File:PMTTYD beldam plug ugly.png on Wildgoose's talk page. If it is not possible/feasible to take one from screenshot, it is possible to obtain one from the official encodes (that is, movie files generated by emulators) on tasvideos.org. They have a TAS for the English version of PMTTYD [1] and one for Japanese [2], so a lot of emulator-quality screenshots can be taken from these encodes, if you don't want to play the game again.

User Page

Delete Lana Reid (talk)'s user page? Seems spam-like as well. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 02:17, 15 July 2016 (EDT)

Re:DKBB FA

I've been meaning to write up a decently long reply and adjust my vote accordingly, but a lot of IRL stuff popped up recently and it distracted me from saying something. Right now is a really awkward time, so it'll take me a little longer to get back to them. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 01:39, 26 July 2016 (EDT)

List of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS glitches

Could you protect the page? It looks like it was missed protection and anons have been making unconstructive edits to it. driftmaster130 (Talk • Edits) 15:23, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

updating picture

Hi. I uploaded a PNG version of File:PM2 Prologue.jpg as File:PMTTYD prologue screenshot.png. However, the former picture is still used on a user talk page for useful purpose. Can it still be tagged with {{delete}} or does the user need to be notified first? Thanks. -- A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 11:45, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

Can you take care of this too? File:FUZZY!!!.jpg -> File:PMTTYD Fuzzy Horde screenshot.png. This has something to do with the 'Shroom which I can't edit. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 08:16, 1 August 2016 (EDT)


DKBB help

Hi, can you upload images of the two Launcher Barrel variants? One of them is yellow, and the other is the one on the Mt. Dynamite racetrack with the DK logo on it that appears at the top of the downhill path near the finish line. Also, does the giant squid on Salty Sea count as an enemy?

SMRPG official artwork

I saw that you uploaded all of Peach's and most of Bowser's armor, so could you please upload the rest, or at least let us know where you got the ones you did? Thanks in advance. --Kahran042 (talk) 16:28, 7 August 2016 (EDT)

Image sourcing

First of all, props for those Wario World screenshots; since I'm not capable of uploading anything but Youtube screenshots for Gamecube games, your high quality versions are definitely appreciated. However, you keep forgetting to fix the source. Obviously your screenshots are not from Youtube videos, so that leaving that as the source is odd. Dark BonesSig.png 20:42, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Glitz Pit fighter pages

Hi. I saw you just edited The Fuzz now. The stats are a bit outdated and are better presented with {{pm2enemybox}}es, but I'm not sure if it's ok to copy the stats on the individual enemy pages onto the fighter team pages; that could run afoul of MW:ONCE. Thanks. A gossip-loving Toad (Talk) 22:07, 19 August 2016 (EDT)

Spotlight image

Thanks for replacing that image, and so quickly too. We'll definitely give you a special thank you in the next edition.

"Box arts"

Uh...

  1. It's just "boxart". Even in the plural.
  2. Per MarioWiki:Galleries, logos should be split out to a separate section at the start if you're messing around with those.

LMDM Team-Up

Remember how you asked me to get ScareScraper boss ghosts uploaded (only had a few but couldn't supply the rest)? One question, your uploads during that period, were they your own derived screenshots from your 3DS? If so, that's good news. That means you can help me with something. I noticed Gallery:Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon#Gameplay is hideously organized. I think it needs a revamp. I didn't realize until several edits in. What do you think? Also, if you know of anyone else that owns a copy of this game, it will be of great help getting that section better organized. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 21:22, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

Oh, I thought you did own a 3DS because of your submissions to complete those articles. Did you get those images from Miiverse then? --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 22:59, 29 August 2016 (EDT)

Full interiors view of Excitement Central, Spooktastic World and Thrillsville

Hi. This is BeautifulBowletta. I have upload the full picture inside view of Sparkle Land from Wario World. Do you have any full interior pictures view of Excitement Central, Spooktastic World and Thrillsville? - BeautifulBowletta (talk) 03:38, 30 August 2016 (EDT)

DKBB

My position hasn't changed much: the article still has tense issues and the images still have aliasing issues. I'm not a fan of the table colours, either: they don't do a particularly good job of masking the aliasing, and the darker colour of the headers make it hard to read the black text. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 19:27, 1 September 2016 (EDT)

Blue Bowser art

Hello Lindsay. I was wondering if you could tell me where this image came from:

Artwork of Bowser, as he was depicted in Super Mario Bros.

I understand if you don't remember: you uploaded it a long time ago! Thanks.

Page number requests

Hi Lindsay. I see you've added page number references to Super Mario 3D World articles before. May you please do Switch Block and Chain Link as well?

Thanks,

Block User

Should we just block SmithJrBlaquaLuigi (talk)? I don't think this user is interested in contributing but rather either spamming or editing his user page. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 00:28, 2 October 2016 (EDT)

Sorry

This is SmithJrBlaquaLuigi, Sorry about that. I just don't know why the article has to be deleted. Also I'm a noob using somewhat article.

I understood for the warning.

Interview

Hi I saw your interview with Kenny James (my fav. voice actor) one question, how do I do an interview like that. I want to do it with Caety Sagoian because her article has a lot less information than Kenny James's before it was expanded so could you please tell me thanks. :) The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Sprite of Prince Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. 03:15, 6 October 2016 (EDT)

I'm sorry

For that spampost *

Unofficial transparent images

Would it be alright if I give an image(s) a transparent background myself or no? I'm not sure what the standing is on unofficial transparency. Thinking about uploading some images from Super Mario 3D World, but they would have a cropped background to them, unless I get rid of it myself. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:33, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

Something like this image, but for every playable character. I just simply want to remove the background, but if it doesn't turn out as well as I would like, I decide against uploading it. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:38, 15 October 2016 (EDT)
...Alright. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:41, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

How about at least a cropped image of the Boomerang Suits? Only Mario has an artwork and Rosalina's is kinda... far off. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 20:51, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

Press assets

Hi Do you have an archive of press assets or any access to current press asset sources? Thanks --Hiccup (talk) 13:35, 18 October 2016 (EDT)

Where did you get this image from?

Paint Star Images?

Where did you find these pictures and can you get the green, orange, and purple ones?Eldritchdraaks (talk) 20:33, 25 October 2016 (EDT)

Prima source?

Hi Lindsay. I was just wondering if you confirm for me whether or not this image came from the Prima game guide? If so, I would like to refer to the file for an image guideline I was drafting.

Thanks so much.

'Shroom Spotlight Shokora (talk · edits) 17:18, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

I would also like to point out that the image is mirrored. Everything on the right should be on the left and vice versa. Alex95sig1.pngAlex95sig2.png 17:26, 26 October 2016 (EDT)

Prism Island Map

Since the sprites for the world map are online in full hd quality, if I were to recreate the map by putting the pieces back together, would that be acceptable for upload here? I know we just found a good map on the Japanese site, but this would be the highest quality.Eldritchdraaks (talk) 23:17, 28 October 2016 (EDT)

DidYouKnow

Hi Lindsay, next week could I please have a go at editing the DidYouKnow Template? I know you always do it and I just wanted to ask because I didn't want to be mean because I know you like editing it. :) The RPG Gamer (talk) (edits) Sprite of Prince Dreambert from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. 04:52, 30 October 2016 (EDT)

About the block you gave me

It seems like as if you blocked me 2 weeks ago, it ended at the time I'm writing this, so just want you to know, to avoid a block again, I will never EVER post pictures to the wiki, just so you know. --Drybones345 (talk) 08:29, 1 November 2016 (EDT)

Deletion Reason

I have been meaning to ask this for a while now but why don't you link to the replacement file on the file page you delete? Other sysops do this, such as YoshiKong or Ghost Jam. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 18:00, 1 November 2016 (EDT)

I think it would be courteous to link to them, especially if they are linked on a user page that only sysops and the owner of the page can edit. I wish I could edit the pages only for the purpose of changing to the replacement image because my replacements are most likely near-identical because I try to match as close as possible to the original upload. It's just a pet peeve of mine seeing Special:WantedFiles useless now. --Wildgoosespeeder (talk) (Stats - Contribs) 15:14, 2 November 2016 (EDT)
