Regarding this, there's no connection, and I don't know why you assumed there was.

Oh, sorry. Their usernames both sound similar and end in a year, so, sorry. Also, the accounts were both created within a short time of each other, so I assumed the accounts were related.
TheDarkStar(talk) 22:04, 14 February 2019 (EST)
- They were created almost a whole day apart, but admins check the IPs of new users that register. It's how the connection to their original account was made in the first place. You're not in trouble, but for future reference, if you think something's up with a user, contact an admin rather than directly confronting them. 22:15, 14 February 2019 (EST)
Oh, okay. I'll try to remember that next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 22:21, 14 February 2019 (EST)
I am not trying to vandalize
Who you please stop calling it vandalism I am not trying to vandalize the article and I am trying to say this in the nicest way possible. I apologize if it comes off this way though my intent is to try improve this wiki not vandalize it.

- The edits in question were either redundant or speculative(Kate Higgins could just as possibly be actually singing). TheDarkStar (talk) 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
- I just said this to Doomhiker this afternoon, don't be so quick to call edits vandalism if they look like they are actually trying to accomplish something. Unless it's blatant vandalism, an edit summary or talk page explanation would be helpful.
- That said, apologies for the edit war. I just got home and am a little tired, so I thought the full name used on the page was what the actual article was called :P 23:20, 2 March 2019 (EST)
- OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 23:22, 2 March 2019 (EST)
- A similar situation happened here. Make sure to consider all possibilities of an edit not being vandalism before calling it vandalism especially in this case as many users do not know that we do not cover fan-made content. Doomhiker (talk)

- Sorry, I didn't know of the mods. I will try to do a bit more research next time. TheDarkStar (talk) 17:55, March 25, 2019 (EDT)

"enemies that only reappear in one game"
The SMB3 enemies only reappeared in one game when SMB&F was released, keep in mind. And that does matter. Very much. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:50, 8 March 2019 (EST)

New, more compressed version of https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64.png#file
Hi! I'm new to this wiki so I don't know how this works, but I made a more compressed (lossless) version of it via TinyPNG. It is around 600 kilobytes as opposed to the former 5 megabytes. No idea how this site works, but I uploaded it here. https://www.mariowiki.com/File:Wing_Mario_-_Super_Mario_64_(1).png It says I can't overwrite it or something on the original page. Could you add it in for me?

- Sorry, but I'm not the one you should ask about that. TheDarkStar (talk) 11:24, 9 March 2019 (EST)
Image category
This really was not acceptable at all. It's obviously not from Donkey Kong, so it shouldn't go in that category. Removing the accidentally-extra colon would have been a much better thing to have done. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:50, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
- Oh. I did not know that the image category was existent. TheDarkStar (talk) 18:57, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
- Good idea would have been to check the other image on the Rolling Frog page to see what it had. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 19:05, March 12, 2019 (EDT)
- OK, thanks! TheDarkStar (talk) 20:54, March 12, 2019 (EDT)

Reverting edits
Don't simply continuously revert the edits leaving summaries telling the user to stop (this in particular was unnecessary). A lot of users don't check the history page or recent changes and therefore don't see the summaries, and in the case of vandals (if they do see it), would only provoke them further. In the future, leave a post on their talk page telling them what they did wrong, that way they'd be notified.

Sea Cactus and Neuron
See this conversation. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 15:16, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
- I have reverted it. Thanks for letting me know. TheDarkStar (talk) 15:30, March 29, 2019 (EDT)
Hello.
Do you know how can I create my userpage? It says I can't. --Tent2 (talk) 18:03, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- Only autoconfirmed users can create pages. TheDarkStar (talk) 18:33, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
Ice Cherbil
Add that quote to MarioWiki:BJAODN/Enemies, that is amazing XD 21:55, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- Thanks, I will do that straight away! :D TheDarkStar (talk) 21:56, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- Added it. View it here! TheDarkStar (talk) 22:04, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- I think that might mean they don't take damage from it.... Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:40, March 30, 2019 (EDT)

"Plagiarism"
Quoting something is not plagiarism, and neither is listing an official description. "Plagiarism" is trying to pass something off as one's own writing when it isn't. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 22:40, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- OK. TheDarkStar (talk) 22:43, March 30, 2019 (EDT)
- They don't need to mention the brochure, it's not like they're writing an essay. It really only needs to be said that it's in-game text if it has writing that would otherwise go against our standards. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:53, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
Thanks
Thank you for helping me with that mario and luigi glitch [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:43, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
- You're welcome. You might want to update your signature, though. TheDarkStar
19:35, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
What is wrong with it. I tried to be original :) [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 20:04, April 2, 2019 (EDT)
It's finally here.
Listen to it. File:DtDD!.oga

OGA Redirect
That redirect you made like minutes ago kinda broke the file, since now its playing the old version that Mikoro uploaded. -- Tent2 (talk) 17:21, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
- I will check and see what's wrong. Just clicking the "Upload a new version of this file" button would have made this a lot easier. TheDarkStar 17:23, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
- I checked, nothing's wrong. TheDarkStar 17:24, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
- It's probably just my browser, but its still playing the 1:19 second file audio for me. -- Tent2 (talk) 17:26, April 3, 2019 (EDT)
- I checked, nothing's wrong. TheDarkStar
I think I finally got it.
I'm not sure, though. --Tent2 
20:13, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
- Wow, you finally created your signature? I thought you were going to be autoconfirmed in two days, not one. TheDarkStar 20:19, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
RE: Plagiarism
You say that like that was the user's intention. The user was most likely trying to quote the brochure but just didn't mention it, especially since, as you yourself stated, they mentioned it the first few times. Don't always assume bad faith in other users. Mario JC 21:57, April 4, 2019 (EDT)
RE:userbox
Yes you can if I can use yours! [-]€40 分@4¡0 (talk) 18:57, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
- You may. Just copy-paste the code I left on your talk page. :D TheDarkStar 18:58, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
A letter from The CoolYoshi
Dear TheDarkStar,
I am witting you a message in your talk page for a second. When I edit the article, DK's Jungle Adventure, you undo my edits and said that your wording is better than mine on this wiki. You know that it is the easiest board in the first Mario Party game for the Nintendo 64. It is rated 1 out of 3 stars. And the winning player gets a golden banana bunch from the chest. When I edited again, you made a second undo! You said that the previous wording is better than mine! I edited the article one more time and you undo it one more time at least. And I am so sorry that you undo my work.
Your Friend, The CoolYoshi
