MarioWiki:BJAODN/Proposals

This is the subpage containing all the dumb proposals made. (Well, not all, just funny ones)

BJAODN

BJAODN

Well, I was looking at the BJAODN page and I got to thinking, what if we included the BJAODN page in the BJAODN page (with all of the content put on)? All of the content on the page is nonsense, anyway, and would qualify to be on the BJAODN page.

Proposer: Super Mario Bros. (talk)
Deadline: 20:00, 2 May 2009

Include BJAODN Page in the BJAODN Page

1. Super Mario Bros. (talk) Per my wonderful ideas above.

Don't Include BJAODN Page in the BJAODN Page

1. Stooben Rooben (talk) - What? No offense, but this seems pretty pointless. I don't get how putting the page in itself is going to improve it.

Comments

I think the "Pie For Everyone" proposal would have been a great idea, too... Super Mario Bros. (talk)

(So we're going to duplicate the page on the page... Great idea.)

(I only made this proposal as a joke, with a reference to the "Pie For Everyone" proposal)

(Recursion is always funny. :P) Phoenix Rider (talk)

Move the page "Moogle" to "Moofle"

Just come on guys. For far too long this grave inaccuracy has been pressed upon us. If I may gain the support of this community, I propose we move the page "Moogle" to the more accurate "Moofle". This will clearly not just be a boost to our website's accuracy and traffic ratings, with this measure in place we stand to have a whopping 25% increase in revenue and and the decreased overhead and operating costs will likely be so good as to increase our profit margin as much as 40%! It seems unbelievable but it is true. We could make thousands more than we currently do, and all for such a simple page. MarioWiki, I implore you. Save our Moofle! Save our money!

Proposer: Snack 19:17, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Deadline: November 4th, 17:00

Support (By doing so you will uphold profit, humor, community values, and pie.)

1. Snack 19:17, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
2. TCY 19:23, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
3. Uniju :D (talk) Per Snack. This will be a great advancement.
4. Super-Yoshi (talk) Wtf I founded Moofle, I deserve credit :(
5. Princess Grapes Butterfly (talk) Um per all?
6. Stooben Rooben (talk) - It's about time we start thinking about how to make this site more financially profitable.

Oppose (By doing this you are a commanist fool. And a Moofle hater.)

1. 1337Yoshi (talk) Aren't joke proposals OUTLAWED?
2. King Mario (talk) 1337: Well if they are not then they HAVE to be.
3. Luigi001 (talk) Just send it to the BJAODN.

AWESOME IDEA.

btw let's change this to the GI JOE EXTREME wiki. and make Pirate Goomba a fa. --Blitzwing 19:36, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Might I suggest moving Snack to Template:Fakelink, Luigi to Template:Fakelink, and Mario to Template:Fakelink? Stooben Rooben (talk)

hey everyone lets move User:Moogle and User:WikiGuest both to Moofle because I feel like it. Super-Yoshi (talk)

No u. Stooben Rooben (talk) 21:00, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

((Oh, sure, that's great. Snack makes a joke proposal and everyone plays along. I make a joke proposal and an argument breaks out with two users leaving the site. -- Ghost Jam))

Pie for Everyone

By request of the creator, the infamous proposal is linked to rather than archived.

It should be noted that a "Pie Button" did manage to exist, although only very briefly.

Remove Circuit City ads

I propose that we remove the Circuit City ads and replace them with Best Buy ads, because my uncle is the manager of a Best Buy location, and it kind of offends me that there are Curcuit City ads (this ISthe nephew of a Best Buy manager you're talking to).-KP Shadow

(This proposal was later removed by Paper Jorge (talk) with the following statement: "Proposals like that are a NO. Talk to Porplemontage about them.")

Snufit Ball

A few times ago, some user created an article about the Snufit Ball, a projectile thrown by the Snufit enemy in Super Mario 64, it was deleted on the ground that it was "too minor", however I think it should be recreated.

If we have an article on Cheese, we must also allow an article on Snufit Ball. Cheese affect gameplay by boosting the chances of seeing a rare enemy in Luigi's Mansion, Snufit Ball hurt Mario. They both affect Gameplay, they both exist in the Marioverse, they both must have an article.

Proposer:Blitzwing
Deadline: January 24nd 17:00(EDT)

LET'S RECREATE SNUFIT BALL AGRESIVELLY

1. --Blitzwing 17:58, 17 January 2008 (EST) Me is proposer, me gave reasons.
2. Glitchman (talk · contribs) True, this is a very minor proposal and is a minor projectile, Blitzwing does have a point.
3. Stumpers! lolz. evan teh chezorz iz mur signifcant den dis, lulz. Blitzwing: you have good integrity. :)

Comments

Can we somehow get that Snifit Ball in the same article? Stumpers! 00:42, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Actuaally, the Snifit Ball came before the Snufit Ball, so it would make sense to have Snufit Ball in the Snifit Ball article, but whatever. ALL HAIL SNUFIT BALL ALL HAIL SNUFIT BALL. --Blitzwing 06:50, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Now wait. Projecticles are still different from objects that can be activated, so the comparison with the Cheese article is quite unfitting. I vote for "Only when it gets over two lines of text". - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:36, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Do Snifit Balls even have official names?Knife (talk) 16:08, 18 January 2008 (EST)

No, but then again, Cheese wasn't named in it's Luigi Mansion appearance except in those unofficial player guide with dubious info. --Blitzwing 16:39, 18 January 2008 (EST)

Is this a serious proposal or a jab at the people who opposed deleting Cheese? >_> NMRodo

Both. --Blitzwing 17:07, 18 January 2008 (EST)

The cheese article has a good length. Something that only consists of:

A Snufit Ball is a small black orb that Snufits spit out of their tubular mouths at Mario in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They can easily be avoided, but will hurt Mario by one damage point if he touches them.

does not qualify for an article. Not "affecting gameplay" is the ticket to an article, but rather whether the article can actually provide content. And as of now, you don't seem to get past the above version of it. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 17:11, 18 January 2008 (EST)

(Blitzwing later withdrawn the proposal when Cobold modificated "the awesome vote headers".)

(Also note that after this proposal was archived here, someone voted for it again. "Oh no" indeed)

Someone help!

I need help with my comic project: comics N Gang and Club Nintendo.

(This was on the proposals page.)

Grammar Team

(This might not qualify for BJAODN, but it was a weird and not-though-out proposal, so I figured I'd add it. Comments have been placed in a scrollbox.)

Many people have different ways of typing things, most of the time mixing up grammar. I propose that we have a team who will check and edit any grammar mistakes. This may be changing words, adding letters, etc.

Example:

THIS is A ExAMpLE LINE oF TexT Four thiS.

Edit -: This is a example line of text for this.

Voting Start 12:00, October 18th
Deadline 12:00, October 25th

Make a Grammar Group

1. LuigiMania (talk): Per my idea.
2. Mileycyrussoulja (talk): I love correcting grammar errors and would never get tired of it! Unfortunately, i think we all know which sides gonna win. :(

Don't make it.

1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Per comments below. I think that such a group is unnecessary for grammar errors.
2. Walkazo (talk) - Per comments below.
3. Rise Up Above It (talk) Per comments below.
4. Garlic Stapler (talk) Not a good idea to make a group about something users correct anyways.
5. Bowser's luma (talk) Per all. We don't need a group for something as simple as that.
6. LeftyGreenMario (talk) If I see a grammar error, I'd correct it immediately. If I were forced to search for grammar errors, I would get mighty bored very quickly. I don't think we need a group JUST to correct grammar errors.
7. Beecanoe (talk) The problem isn't official enough to make a change. It's kind of an amateur thing to fix errors you see while browsing the wiki. If there were a lot of errors on the pages I would say of course. Go for it. But like I said, not a major problem.
8. Count Bonsula (talk) I don't think that's really needed, editing the wiki is team work, everyone and anyone participate to correct those mistakes. And per LGM.
9. Ralphfan (talk) – It's unnecessary. Anyone can fix these mistakes.
10. Gamefreak75 (talk) - Per all.
11. SmileyMiley5001 (talk) - I fix them if I find them, but if I search for them I'd just get bored. Anyway, grammar is not to important, so long as you can understand what the person is saying.
12. Mario Fan 123 (talk) - Per all. Also, YOU need a grammar correction. Use 'an' instead of 'a' there.
13. MrConcreteDonkey (talk) - Per all.
14. M&SG (talk) - A grammar group isn't exactly necessary. Not all people follow the same grammar rules anyway.
15. T.c.w7468 (talk) Per all, I do not think a group is necessary for this.
16. JF (talk) Ahaha no.

Comments

While this seems to be a great policy to have, I have a slight feeling that there may be arguements caused by this over Americanized spellings and non-Americanised spellings. For example, one of my earliest edits was edited, without my knowledge, shortly afterwards to change my English spellings to Americanized spellings: "colour" to "color". And that, frankly, is pointless. Rise Up Above It (talk) 13:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC) There are a lot of many ways, such as form and forme, colour and color, and so on and so forth. But the proposal is stating that we have just one group of users do all the grammar issues. I don't approve of this idea as there are over 3,000 users that have the job of editing and improving the page, and just limiting the grammar stuff is like taking away nearly all the work needed on this wiki. We can't just have a group of people be in charge of it, as it is too much for just that. If you really want this, I say you should make this a Pipeproject (if there isn't one about this kind of issue). Baby Mario Bloops (talk) I see your point BMB, and I agree with it; however my point was about the possibility of disagreements and edit wars(maybe) over what spelling scheme ought to be used. Because if this proposal did pass, then wouldn't every article have to adhere to one uniform spelling and grammar scheme? Rise Up Above It (talk) I agree with BMB, we don't need to limit this to certain users, all users should be allowed, and encouraged, to fix grammar mistakes. If you wish to change a policy, do that, but making a specific team won't stop bickering throughout the team. If this proposal does pass, it won't make anything in addition to what we currently have. Marioguy1 (talk) Per. This is pointless. Anyone is welcome to fix the grammar mistakes they find. We don't need a team for it. Fawfulfury65 (talk) People who care about grammar will fix it on their own accord. Creating a silly group monicker that has no pratical tool for the job won't do snuff. --Glowsquid 11:59, 19 October 2010 (UTC) For the record, anyone changing a British spelling to American or vice-versa is in the wrong, as both are allowed on the wiki to reflect the international nature of the wiki. (In fact, if I catch someone changing a word, I revert it, even if they were changing it to my country's spelling; if the change was part of an overall rewrite, it's fine, imho.) - Walkazo (talk) This could make a good BJAODN bad proposal section, aside from that this is probably one of the worst and poorly done proposals so far. Also per all above and what they have said. Garlic Stapler (talk) You don't really have to belittle people, you know. Ideas are ideas, and we appreciate ideas. Anyway, although we can have both British and American spelling in articles, I think we should to one type of spelling in one article (if an article has mainly British spelling, then it should be British spelling, e.g.). Not that I'm right, but I do love consistency. LeftyGreenMario (talk) We should the British spelling only for articles where the stuff gets released in Europe first, and American if it gets released in North American first. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) I am Zero! Then that will confuse the visitor when jumping from article to article and great grammar LGM. Zero signing out. Zero777 (talk) I concur, BLOF sounds like he has a nice idea going on. D: Garlic Stapler (talk) But that's a pain to keep track of. I also like the mix inside the articles; just think of them as synonyms giving the pages variety, rather than inconsistencies in spelling. - Walkazo (talk) Proper grammar can vary between people. For one instance, you may see people use the term "colour" instead of "color". Likewise, comma usage can vary as well. Example 1: Apple and Banana (no commas used) Example 2: Apple, Banana, and Grape (two comma used) Example 3: Apple, Banana and Grape (a comma is missing after Banana) Basically, various countries are different in their ways of proper grammar.
