I'm sorry for the late response, but, YES, I would love to have my logo as the websites logo! :)
== Uploads ==
Hello Jjrapper100. Nice job on your uploads in relation to the ''Luigi's Mansion'' beta elements. But when uploading a file, it's important to [[Help:License|license]] the image (seen on the [[Special:Upload|upload]] page). Also, remember to categorize the file (just add <code><nowiki>[[Category:Luigi's Mansion Images]]</nowiki></code>, replacing the "Luigi's Mansion" with whatever game the file may come from. Additionally, if the image is from a beta build then be sure to also add <code><nowiki>[[Category:Beta Images]]</nowiki></code> to the image, as well as the game category. Thanks for reading!
{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 00:24, 1 September 2013 (EDT) hmm
Thank you, YoshiKong! I'm sorry, it's that I didn't want to have the hastle of categorizing each image into its genre, but I just speed up the uploading process by not doing so. I'll make sure to do so! But, until tommorow... It's getting late here in Maryland. :)
:No problem. Also, just to clarify, was [[:File:Super Smash Bros vase.jpg|this image]] from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''?
:{{User:YoshiKong/sig}} 00:37, 1 September 2013 (EDT)
Why, yes, as for which battle arena, beats me.
== Edits ==
May I ask where you found that Nintendo was the developer of those games? {{User|Yoshi876}}
:I'm not calling you a troll, or a vandal in any way, I just want a source for that information because it was previously unknown. And I'm not a major member on the wiki, I'm just a guy that reverts stuff that should be reverted. And [[MarioWiki:Rules]], [[MarioWiki:Warning policy]] and [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]] would be the best bet for the rules. {{User|Yoshi876}}
::No problem, now about that source ;) {{User|Yoshi876}}
== Luigi's Mansion beta elements ==
[[List of Luigi's Mansion beta elements]] has a lot of information added in by you that simply doesn't have sources. I'd like to ask you for all of your sources, but I'll start off small: what's your source for Luigi's Mansion originally being a Nintendo 64 prototype? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:Even with those two sources, all it proves was that there was very early concepts being created for the Nintendo 64 and does not, in fact, ever explicitly state that it was originally a prototype. You can extrapolate and speculate all you want, but the fact remains that there's no concrete evidence of that. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::Opinions are ''exactly'' the kind of thing that we want to avoid. If you don't have anything else to back it up, it needs to be removed. I'll be more vague with what I ask next: I've marked a bunch of lines with a ''<sup>[citation needed]</sup>'', so go through the article and tell me if there are any sources I've missed that clearly indicate these elements. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:::Let me ask you more directly: where did you find your information on the Luigi's Mansion demo? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
::::And all the [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_Luigi%27s_Mansion_beta_elements&diff=prev&oldid=1798980 other stuff]? {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
==Aboutfile reminder==
{{Aboutfile-reminder}}
Hello, please remember to format your preloaded aboutfile templates properly. When you upload a file, you will see that template. Fill out the appropriate sections, delete unused ones, and remember to categorize your images according to game (in your pre-release Luigi's Mansion images, add <nowiki>[[Category:Luigi's Mansion Images]]</nowiki> to the end). You can delete the aboutfile altogether, but I recommend you learn how it works. It's not convenient for others to fix it for you whenever you upload images. {{User:Baby Luigi/sig}} 16:24, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
:Also, remember to add the proper license for the images, and only select "don't know" if you absolutely have no idea what the image is supposed to be/where it's from. All the Luigi's Mansion files you uploaded were screenshots, and should carry the template {{Tem|game-screenshot}} (select "video game screenshot" in the menu when you upload).
And one more thing, make sure the filenames are descriptive enough and not something like [http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Screenshot_2016-05-03-16-26-20.png this] which is vague and unreliable.
--{{User:Driftmaster130/sig}} 20:30, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
::You can actually do that before uploading the image; in the "summary" section of the File Description just put '''<nowiki>[[Category:Luigi's Mansion Images]]</nowiki>''' and then select "Video game screenshot" from the menu below it. It gives the same result and makes it a lot easier so that other people don't have to go back and add it. --{{User:Driftmaster130/sig}} 20:55, 3 May 2016 (EDT)
:::No problem. Please do it when uploading from now on though, I see you've already been told of this same issue in the past and I don't want you to get a warning. --{{User:Driftmaster130/sig}} 19:05, 4 May 2016 (EDT)
Please remember to remove any unused parameters in {{tem|aboutfile}} for any files you upload as described in the above reminder. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 21:08, 18 April 2018 (EDT)
== Minor checkbox ==
Hi. I noticed that you made a minor edit to [[Next Level Games]] without marking it as minor. In the future, it would be better if you got into the habit of checking the "minor edit" box (located below the "edit summary" bar), as it becomes more convenient for page patrollers and administrators. Furthermore, repeated failure to mark minor edits as minor counts as a [[MarioWiki:Warning policy#Level one offense|level one offense]], as described at the very first bullet point. Thank you and keep on contributing. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 17:25, 6 February 2017 (EST)
==Jumping the gun==
It's not the 10th in all of America just yet, you know. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 00:26, 10 November 2017 (EST)
==Pink Gold Peach talk==
Kid, we here on the wiki ''all'' hate Pink Gold Peach for the exact same reasons you do, but it's best not to dwell into that topic. We don't want a bunch of topics springing up about why Pink Gold Peach sucks this and that, so it's just best to ignore her. {{User:Lcrossmk8/sig}} 22:40, 1 December 2017 (EST)
== Joy-Con wrist straps ==
Hi! We're currently in a state of disagreement about the Joy-Con wrist straps. You say there are distinct left and right straps for the Joy-Con, although this is not the case. There is a plus on one side of them, and a minus on the other side matching the plus or minus buttons when attaching the Joy-Con. {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 13:46, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
:So what is the difference then? What makes that one is not supposed to go on the other? {{User:Lakituthequick/sig}} 07:04, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
== Italics ==
Hey. Just a reminder to please remember to ''italicise'' game and series titles. You've been on the wiki for a while now so I had assumed you would've been accustomed to it by now, but there have been several instances where you forget to use them. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:50, 5 February 2018 (EST)
== "References should go after periods, commas, parentheses, etc." ==
Under what style guide? [[MarioWiki:Manual of Style|The wiki's own guide]] doesn't mention it, and meanwhile, [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/ MLA] and [https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/02/ APA] both include them before periods and other punctuation marks. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 11:30, 9 March 2018 (EST)
:That's not an answer to my question. If there's no backing to enforce it, it doesn't seem appropriate to do so. {{User:Time Turner/sig}} 12:07, 9 March 2018 (EST)
== Gallery Photo ==
I know i could have updated it but it wouldn't let and keep showing an error
== Audio Formats ==
I noticed that an upload of yours was using FLAC and you used a website that {{SITENAME}} doesn't recommend. You can use software that {{SITENAME}} doesn't list, but I thought I'd show you converters better suited for [[Special:Upload|uploading]]: [[Help:Media]]. I corrected your upload: [[:File:Nintendo 64DD start up.oga]]. For my upload, I used [[User:Wildgoosespeeder/sandbox|an emulator]] to capture the audio and Audacity to import the audio. Exported as an OGG Vorbis file. {{SITENAME}} keeps it strictly Vorbis for audio to keep audio uploads simple and compatible with most web browsers. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 22:46, 2 May 2018 (EDT)
:There is a problem with uploading {{wp|MP3}}s and that is you need a license to encode them for use through downloading. It's just legality at this point. OGG {{wp|Vorbis}} is royalty-free and license-free. The audio plug-in I chose in the N64 emulator will try and mimic the real hardware's audio capabilities, but I outputted into an uncompressed WAV file before converting to OGG Vorbis. A YouTube video uses a lossy audio codec. I believe {{wp|Advanced Audio Coding|AAC audio}}. I can't recommend using YouTube over an emulator for this reason. Even though it applies to images, I am trying to follow [[MarioWiki:Image use policy|policy]] in this case for audio as well. --{{User:Wildgoosespeeder/sig}} 22:20, 4 May 2018 (EDT)
== Mario Party 64DD ==
Perhaps I'm uneducated, but I don't get what the video reference [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Nintendo_64DD&curid=17870&diff=2435145&oldid=2431962 in your recent edit] is supposed to show. What is error 31? I'm not seeing anything that actually confirms the use of the 64DD, for either ''Mario Party'' or ''Mario Party 2''. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 00:13, 13 May 2018 (EDT)
:So long story short, simply because the Disk Drive recognizes the game means that there was supposed to be something more to it? That's a really interesting find! {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:32, 15 May 2018 (EDT)
== Re:Template:Poll ==
It's all been fixed now- it may take a while to show up on your end. Thank you for letting us know! {{User:Pyro Guy/sig}} 02:34, 20 November 2018 (EST)
== Infoboxes ==
We don't update the list of appearances in the infoboxes (characters, races, etc.) until after the game is fully released in a region. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 20:52, May 25, 2019 (EDT)
