This my talk page. If you have any issue on the wiki or need any kind of help, feel free to ask me. Add a comment.

Hi

Hi Cobold! I made a new game on Userpedia and you're in it. (I know you're not a member on Userpedia but I wanted you to know) SJ derp :P

What will it have me doing? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:19, 12 June 2008 (EDT)

You're one of the main characters. You're a hero in it. SJ derp :P

Uh, but what exactly am I doing? Not that I would really care. =P - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:59, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

It's an RPG, and you're one of the heroes. What do most wiki-related RPG heroes do? Fight spammers and trolls. :) SJ derp :P

I wouldn't know what they do. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:09, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Comment

Only for asking, but there will be a sysop promotion soon? ¢oincoll€ctor

That is actually a very good question. I still have to consider someone who would fit for the post. Our most requested candidate, Stooben Rooben, went on indefinite hiatus, so I'm here with rather empty hands. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:58, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Could I be part of the sysophood? ¢oincoll€ctor If I cannot be yet, understood.

Who knows? I don't...yet. =P But maybe I will in a few days. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:48, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Actually, there was quite a few suggestions made by the Sysop staff to promote you, CC. --Blitzwing 14:51, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Who? Where? When? I guess I'm not up to date about the personal chat here. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:54, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

There is a "Sysop Only" Board on the forum. Coincollector was mentioned quite a few times in there. --Blitzwing 15:08, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

I see. I wouldn't know, I haven't even got an account on the forum, and I'm not planning to get one. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:11, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

I See, although I ain't a member from the forums, so I don't really know what's happening behind the scenes. ¢oincoll€ctor "I wished for deleting the junk images from the wiki, because the bin is full and the waste is growin'"

Super Mario RPG

SMRPG was rated for the PAL regions, so can post (EU) TBA and (AU) TBA on the article? SJ derp :P

ZOMGYAYZ?! I NEED ZIS GAME! Would also be good to link a source for the rating. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:29, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Here's the site I found it on. I'll add it on the article now. SJ derp :P

Ah, the good ol' site with credibility issues. But that's their problem, not ours. We can add this as a valid reference. I still don't get how they are doing this, the original version didn't have European translations, and games which heavily rely on text (e.g. Paper Mario, but not SMB) get localized. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:35, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

I read somewhere that a PAL version was being made, but was never released. SJ derp :P

That would be cool, it would have translations fitting to the time of creation. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:40, 13 June 2008 (EDT)

Well congrats to you. :) I think NOA is just gonna make it show up one day without any word of it (seeing as they are very secretive and the fact that they hate us). I'm checking the Wii Shop Channel every update for that reason. SJ derp :P

Uhhhhhh... I've been lazy, sorry. Haven't played MKWii in a while. ^^; And I just pre-ordered Super Smash Bros. Brawl today. My Bloody Valentine

Demotion

Since RAP and Porplemontage won't do it, can you PLEASE remove my Sysop powers? I'm so sick of being a Sysop now, it's become so damn annoying. Please demote me. My Bloody Valentine

Never mind, Steve already did it. My Bloody Valentine

No one said I was retiring. I was just resigning. I'm still here, and with Brawl's release next week, I'll be editing a bit more. ;) My Bloody Valentine

Yeah, I see... :[ --

¢oincoll€ctor 16:55, 21 June 2008 (EDT) "I'll keep this in mind"

Normal Hammer

Normal Hammer is redirected to Hammer now, but "Normal Hammer" is still on the item page. Should we keep it there or remove it? SJ derp :P

What item page? Items? I think redirects are allowed there. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:21, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

'K. SJ derp :P

Mario Party article

On the article stated in the header, there is and image that is cutting into the info box. I've tried fixing it, but have failed every time. Do you know what to do? SJ derp :P

I can't help you because I have blocked any advert images. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:26, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Or maybe I misunderstood. I tried fixing something with that gallery. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:30, 22 June 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. :) SJ derp :P

Hey

Would you mind looking at my Nominated Article just click the link on my sig!Δ ΔΔ Δ

The timer reached "0" at around 12AM, and the shops here don't hold midnight releases. I'm awake now at 8:22AM, but now I have to wait for them to call me. :P My Bloody Valentine

Brawl

Have you played Brawl?F g

Yes. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:20, 28 June 2008 (EDT)

Brawl Central

Yay! Now we're friends on Brawl Central! -Moonshine

Yay. I don't really get the use of friend lists but if you like it, no problem. (I don't get the use of many other things though. :P) - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:44, 30 June 2008 (EDT)

Guten Tag

Weißt du, was dieser sagt? Ich bin so dumm! Ich bin nicht FTW! Ich saugen und wird wahrscheinlich Anfang des Zweiten Weltkriegs, aber es spielt keine Rolle, weil keiner von euch hören :) SmartyGuy11, Jetzt gehen hier

Translating suck with "saugen" in this context is something only Google would do. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:45, 1 July 2008 (EDT)

User:Yoshi Speedstar

The user in the header is a sockpuppet of a user named User:Blue Koop, who was a sockpuppet of a spammer named User:The Goomba. He did, however, write an apology, but I wanted to know what you think of this. SJ derp :P

They caught my eye earlier but I think there was an explanation back then. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:27, 4 July 2008 (EDT)

Was the explanation "The Goomba is Blue Koop's brother"? SJ derp :P Just wondering.

Something like that, I can hardly remember. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 04:10, 5 July 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, you might wanna look here then. SJ derp :P

Wait... hold up...

Am I seeing that you're a Princess Peach enthusiast as well? If so, I'm glad that you're also on the scene to get the truth in terms of Peach (and Daisy too). Biggest aggravation ever thanks to those MK: DD and MK Wii guides. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Enthusiast! 16:06, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

"Enthusiast" would go a little too far. She's alright as a character and I play her in some more recent games. I chose the article to improve, but I didn't really get far and most of the work is done by our community, which is some great work and some really unneeded wars about little words in uninteresting guides. I don't see who can get so much excited about this.

As long as nobody accepts the compromise, I'm carefully watching the article. It's my job to prevent flame and edit wars. I don't think I really contributed much to prevent wars in this case, I'm currently a bit inactive because of Brawl's release - I need to play the games in order to edit articles, after all. ;) - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:13, 9 July 2008 (EDT)

Troll

What troll was it when that time a troll occassionally came by and vandalized your talk page? Was the ip matched the same as Max2?F g

His IP matched with AndreZoio. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 06:47, 13 July 2008 (EDT)

there's some vandal mucking up the Slime page, and i dont know how to fix it. Mrsdaisyluigi 11:08, 14 July 2008 (EDT) P.S its the slime character for itacki street ds.

What exactly is vandalized on that page? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:13, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

if you look at this page you will notice it...... alot. Mrsdaisyluigi 11:34, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

You linked to the wrong page. I got it now. The vandal thought he would prevent us from deleting it this way. Well, he thought wrong. Everything's up again. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:49, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Brill. Mrsdaisyluigi 11:52, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

Favor

Yo Cobold, could you see the DK Summit article and see the foreign names section? looks like there's a prolem with this template (or the article has a problem?) ¢oincoll€ctor I see some problems with the templates, and I don't know how to solve the problem now...

I've seen many templates problems today, they were mentioned on the Main Page talk. If you look at the top of my talk page, the part of pipe also isn't displaying. This seems to be a wiki-related problem, we will have to consult Steve. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:27, 14 July 2008 (EDT)

I guess the wiki needs an update by now, don't you think? :P ¢oincoll€ctor "Steve-o where are thou?"

OK donkey Cobold, Wayoshi fixed the problem :) now, your template is back.

¢oincoll€ctor

Toadsworth: Uhhm

Peach's voice actor was Jen Taylor ever since the N64 days. Although many Mario characters have had voice changes in the far past and just recent;y, that does not lead me to agree with saying Peach's va changes often. Regardless, mentioning a characters current va in the opening is no issue. I myself know the Peach page is filled with tons of crappy and overdone information, but I don't see a problem with this sentence. FD09

Sorry, but: Don't talk about something you don't know enough about. Jen Taylor portrayed Peach until the end of the GameCube era.FD09

Why is there a "Toadsworth" in the headline of this section? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:39, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Just so you know:

The Troll that recently attacked has the exact same ip as Wayoshi. Deal appropriately with him. Of course, there's a chance that it may be a chat troll impersonating him... But Still. --Blitzwing 13:19, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Wayoshi's IP changes frequently, but it's still good to know. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:26, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Speaking of it... Where exactly can I find out about users' IPs? I guess that question is a bit dumb for a sysop, but I have really no idea. Time Questions 13:30, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Go to the special pages list and scroll down to the very bottom. There is a list of restricted special pages there. The IP check function is at "Check user". - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:32, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Ah, good to know. Thanks. Time Questions 13:48, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

The only thing I can fathom is that I've been at a college for summer camp for three weeks, and the IP domain or even the exact IP is the same all-around. :X Wa _T^C_@^Y 16:42, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

Absolutely not, I use the home comp (the IP that starts with 66) almost everyday now. Wa _T^C_@^Y 17:22, 17 July 2008 (EDT)

comic

do you want to cameo in my comic i want to put all the sysops in it User:Hemu/sig 15:17, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

I'm not even aware that I have sprites. Create what you want as long as I don't have to watch it. I'm not interested in all of this comic business at all. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:20, 18 July 2008 (EDT)

Sorry about that...

Just letting you know that I'm now aware of the reminder you put on my talk page.--Philibuster Beetle 19:06, 19 July 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for changing my name! Palkia47

Re: Awards Tourneys

• Knife said I was wrong about the limits, so I guess it's as many as we can get...I have a feeling not everyone will make, so if we end up with 16 that's great.
• The MKWii tourney will start at aboutt 2-3p EDT (UTC -5), making it 9-10p for you, still on August 8th. Depending on when we start it may go past 11p. When you get your individual round matchups for Brawl you can talk to your opponent for a good time.

Wa _T^C_@^Y 18:14, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

Ask Knife, he set up Brawl, I was more involved in MKWii. Wa _T^C_@^Y 10:43, 24 July 2008 (EDT)

Proposal for Promotion

Thank you for removing that proposal. I found it ridiculous for it to even be there, but I didn't know if I had the authority to remove it. — Stooben Rooben 18:22, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

No problem. I thought it was even in the rulebook somewhere that proposals like that are not allowed. I can't find it now however, maybe we should add it somewhere to the Proposals page. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:24, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

I think that would be a good idea. — Stooben Rooben 18:27, 26 July 2008 (EDT)

Brawl

I saw your message on Knife's page and it's going to be a Stock with Time Limit On since the match could last a very long time, and I guess its also because of what is stated in the rules too :P. Super-Yoshi^{Talk? C???}

Well but what time limit will it be? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:40, 30 July 2008 (EDT)

Actually, I canceled the time limit rule. I forgot to edit that rule. I'll fix it.Knife (talk) 18:30, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Just Wondering

I know you probably hear this question a lot, but do you know if there will be any promotions soon? — Stooben Rooben 16:03, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Yes I do hear that often. Considering the last was some time ago, it may indeed not be far away. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:18, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

I figured you did. Thanks for answering. :) — Stooben Rooben 16:21, 1 August 2008 (EDT)

Hey Coobold

Do you like to watch mario cartoons.F g

No. I haven't watched one and they don't seem to appeal to me in the first place. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:50, 10 August 2008 (EDT)

Cobold! Long time, no see

Cobold, what's up? Congrats on your bureacracy. I heard you have Brawl, what's your Brawl Code? Mine is 2063-1004-9695 -- Aipom --

Hello there. My Brawl FC is 2492-5580-4756, but are you living far away from Germany? I have a bad lag when playing over to California or similar regions. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:41, 11 August 2008 (EDT)

Sockpuppets

Cobold, you may have noticed that many sockpuppets: The Wiki Goomba, The Baby Goomba, The F****** Goomba, The Goomboss, The Goombella, The Goomba Super Fast, The Tight Goomba, and The Golden Goomba That Is Not Silver have all appeared as new users on the Wiki and are ALL spamming. You might want to block all of them or at least all of them except one. Glitchman (talk · contribs) 11:21, 13 August 2008 (EDT)

Super Smash Bros. Nomination Page

You made an oppose for the Nomination, ao I did my best to fix anything that was wrong with the article, based on your oppose. I would appreciate it if you could cross out anything that has been fixed, just so that the article can meet standards. Thanks. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

That's a bit formal for simply "I got rid of that". - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:53, 15 August 2008 (EDT)

I'm Worried

I'm particularly concerned with this. Saudy (or someone who has hacked into his account) has threatened to spam/vandalize the wiki if Paper Jorge does not retire. And now Fg has also threatened to spam on Paper Jorge's talk page. I'm not sure if I'm being overtly worried about this, but it does seem to be a problem that needs solving. — Stooben Rooben 19:10, 16 August 2008 (EDT)
