User talk:Walkazo/Archive 5

Archives
The first eleven months. The summer of '08. The winter of discontent. The spring of squelching superfluous spaces.

Status: Busy as always. Between university and work I don't have much free time on my hands, but I'll be coming on here and editing whenever I can. If you have any questions about the Super Mario Wiki, feel free to ask away, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Section 1

Hey can you change my username from Mario freak to PeteyPiranha? Mario freak (talk)

Hey Walkazo, I just told him where to go to get a rename, so disregard his comment (By the way, when you read this, you will probably be back from your vacation. So how was it?). · SMB (Talk) · 20:50, 26 July 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for helping him out, SMB. As for my vacation... it stank. - Walkazo 22:14, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that... · SMB (Talk) · 22:17, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Hey Walkazo...

How can a user make a template un-editable (that is probably not a word)? Is there something like __NOEDIT__ or something like that? Or does it need to be protected? · SMB (Talk) · 22:45, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

It needs to be protected. Why do you ask? Or should I say, what do you need protected? The WikiNews template? Also, did you get permission to add all that formatting stuff to the template? It feels like something you might wanna run by Steve first. - Walkazo 22:50, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Oh, whoops. I didn't know I was supposed to ask Steve... I'll go revert my edits. · SMB (Talk) · 22:54, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Personally, I don't go near those sort of templates. - Walkazo 23:07, 27 July 2009 (EDT)

Welcome back

Welcome back Walkazo. :P I'm more into editing somewhere else right now, another wiki... XP I am pretty much canceling this year's summer project due to that I realize I worked too hard just to not take a break. So... I'm taking a break for the rest of the summer, pretty much away from the wiki... even tho I make occasional edits. RAP... *waits for others to comment*

Blocking mistake

Hey Walkazo, It's Ratfink43, and you blocked Superjump4, because you thought it a sock puppet but that wasn't me it was my brother who uses the same computer as me. So can you please unblock him.

Thank you for unblocking my brother. The Flamin Dragons is not ours, it is somone elses. My brother is The Rockin Dragons, and it is a coincidence. Sorry for any confusion and have a great day!!!!!!

Hi Walkazo...

How are you? · SMB (Talk) · 01:12, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

I'm okay, though not as active as I'd like to be - things just keep popping up in RL. I heard about the whole Chat/Patroller thing, btw - tough break. - Walkazo

Ah, well that's too bad (about the not-active part). About the Chat-Patroller thing, eveything has calmed down now, so that's good. Nobody has really mentioned it, and I'm going to stay clear of chat for awhile now. · SMB (Talk) · 01:26, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

That's part of the reason I'm glad I can't go on Chat: one little mistake can kill you. That's true pretty much everywhere, but on Chat, it's like they're waiting to eat you alive (when they're not being ADD about everything). Or at least that's the impression I've gotten from reading transcripts and whatnot. - Walkazo

Yeah. I might ask to get a repromotion now that the situation has died down, but whether I get promoted or not doesn't matter, I've been a "regular" user for most of my time on the wiki and it isn't that bad. What do you think on the matter? I'm just not sure if I'd be making a mistake... · SMB (Talk) · 01:46, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

You should wait some time before asking, since your original decision to resign would just look rash if you immediately turn around and ask for the power back. Also, if you're fine with being a "regular" user, you might not even find the need to ask - if you're willing to wait, we'll probably repromote you sooner or later on our own grounds (i.e. next time we need a new admin.). I make no promises, but I'll be sure to mention you're up for the job once/now that the Chat incident's water under the bridge. - Walkazo

True, ok. Thank you Walkazo. :) By the way, I notice on your page that you think one of the hardest levels in Super Mario Sunshine is one of the Sirena Beach levels. Do you also think that the second roller-coaster water-balloon popping one in Pinna Park is a bit hard too? I know for certain that I did. · SMB (Talk) · 02:15, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

No problem! I love anything roller-coaster (or flight)-themed, so I didn't really pay attention to the difficulty of the Pinna Park levels: as far as I was concerned they were simply fun! Anyway, I'm going offline now, so talk to you later! - Walkazo

Cool. Anyway, goodnight. I'm probably about to go offline myself anyway. · SMB (Talk) · 02:30, 2 August 2009 (EDT)

My Redirect

Hey, Walkazo. I realize that my redirect was not capitalized. Many redirects are not capitalized, and for a reason: so users can access articles with ease and not have to capitalize all the letters when they search for it. --YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Help on user boxes!

Hi, Walkazo! I want to put user boxes on my user page, but I don't know how to, and the help page isn't detailed enough for me to understand what to do. So can you give me a good explanation on how to put on user boxes?--fawfulfury65 19:45, 2 August 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

Thanks for the help!--fawfulfury65 09:46, 4 August 2009 (EDT)fawfulfury65

I'm glad I could be of assistance. - Walkazo 00:44, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Am I a good user?

Hi, Walkazo. I was working on minigame puns and name derives. I am still good, right? Chris Helper 7:58 P.M., 3 August 2009 (EDT)Chris Helper

Hey Walkazo...

Could you unprotect the images Image:YIDS_Babies.jpg and Image:Luigismansion-01.jpg as they are not Featured Images anymore? · SMB (Talk) · 18:40, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

I unprotected the YIDS babies, but Yoshario already dealt with Image:Luigismansion-01.jpg (if you use a colon before "image", it comes out as a link, not the image itself; just do [[:Image:THIS.see]]. It also works with categories). - Walkazo 18:56, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Okay, thank you for showing me how to link to images (I was having a hard time with that) and unprotecting the YIDS image (I needed to add the FI template). · SMB (Talk) · 18:59, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

No problem. - Walkazo 19:11, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

Hi Walkazo, I erased my proposal and replaced it with a new one. I'm just letting you know. · SMB (Talk) · 20:49, 6 August 2009 (EDT)

I know. - Walkazo 21:05, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Help on Youtube

On the help page it says you need to figure out a videos ID in order to put a Youtube video on your User page. But, I have no idea how to figure out a videos ID. Is it on or near the video? Do you need to have a youtube account? Ratfink43

Never mind, I just figured out how 2. Ratfink43

That's good, 'cause I couldn't have helped you out on that one. Userpage stuff is not my forte, and I keep videos away from my poor old computer with a five-foot poll. - Walkazo 21:05, 10 August 2009 (EDT)

Hey

Hey It's Me Mario7727 Do You Want To Talk To Me??? Can We Talk???Do You Want Me To Add You To My Friend List???PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE RIGHT AFTER YOU READ THIS.Ok.PLEASE.Mario7727.Mario7727 (talk)

Well, I don't make friends lists because I try to get along with everyone equally, and I usually hold these sort of conversations on my talk page only for convenience' sake (I'm a lazy wench). If you're cool with that, sure we can talk. - Walkazo 01:20, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Whoa

OK, you're my best friend on at the moment. Anyhow, I just feel the need to show someone how many bites I just added to MASATOG, check the recent changes! Marioguy1 (talk)

Really? I'm touched. Cool; we need more M&S coverage, and all the coding looked good. Nice work! - Walkazo 01:20, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Well there was a lack of circuit information and I think that it needs to be documented so I don't have to go to my game every time I want to improve an event. M&S is one of my long term projects that I'm working on. Marioguy1 (talk)

Good to hear you're dedicated to your projects. Maintenance work is my project, though I have a few other things I can work on when I've run out of gnomework to do on RecentChanges. - Walkazo 01:43, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

I did the math and in total I added 2,674 bites to the article. I also help with maintenance when I can. You know, typing errors? Marioguy1 (talk)

P.S. There are several things in Category:To be deleted

Neat. It's sorta funny because most people strive for adding large amounts of bytes, whereas I try to remove them - there's nothing more satisfying for me than to remove enough extra spaces so that the edit is bolded. And thanks for the To Be Deleted tip! - Walkazo 18:52, 17 August 2009 (EDT)

Babel

I'm trying to set up a Babel section for Hebrew. Can you please help?

Ralphfan>>Or direct me to a sysop who's able to do this, in case you've gotta do something else?

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner (I'vee been really busy in RL), but it looks like you got the Hebrew Babel section working just fine on your own. - Walkazo 21:54, 22 August 2009 (EDT)

Friend Request?????

Hi i'm Mario64fanatic i would like to be your friend here on the mariowiki. Mario64fanatic (talk)

Hi, Walkazo, Sorry about the sockpuppeting but can you explain what that is? Sorry your(not so much of a) friend, Mario64fanatic (talk)

Oh, That's not my account my sister wanted to make an account but she didn't know which username to choose, so she said to be Kirby64fan or something, don't blame me I actually suggested KirbySuperStarGamer but I guess she didn't listen, I'm sooooo sorry for the misunderstanding. No hard feelings - Mario64fanatic (talk) P.S I'll talk to her about this because she takes my name and adds a little change too it on all things I go on, once again, REALLY SORRY!

Ok I would've made the mistake too, Well if I knew what sockpuppeting was before anyway. Mario64fanatic (talk)

Bowser, Mario, Timelines and stuff

Greetings,

I know that this could be concidered spam but I want to write it nevertheless.
I have read what you wrote on your Userpage and I agree with most of the things. Bowser really needs to play a bigger role and I am personally tired of him being the bad guy who gets pummeled all the time. I also agree with Mario being overrated and that Nintendo should stop being so confusing and establish an appropriate timeline.

I don't really know why I am writing that. Just suddenly felt an urge to second you.
Edofenrir 17:42, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Thank you very much for noticing my work :3 I saw a comment on the talk page of the main article, concerning the improvement of Wario-Articles. The comment was from 2006 though, so I thought I could help out by creating a list of levels for that game.

Ok, now to the pointers: I was thinking about the problem with gender-neutrality myself but I couldn't think of a solution (don't be confused, I am a native German speaker and english is just my first foreign language ;3). I will keep it in mind for the future and look over the articles I have written so far to correct any mistakes.
And for the code-stuff: I really am a klutz when it comes down to things like that and I'm not with you all long enough to understand that whole business yet. I witnessed someone editing that "br clear=all"-thingy on the article and I kept using it from that day on. To be honest: I have no idea what that thing does ^^ I have much to learn yet.
I was planning on posting some request on the forums once I'm done, asking for some people to look over and check the articles since it is likely that I made some mistakes due to language-problems.

Ok, I'm getting all chatty on you ^^' Thanks again for your support and maintain that attitude of yours.
Edofenrir 19:15, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Well, I think I will stick around and I hope I can be of some use for you (I noticed you had to edit quite alot of my articles. Sorry about that, I should be more careful).
I added myself to the Babel-Categories now but... Isn't English level 4 a tad too high for me? I mean, I can express myself in english but I still make an awful lot of mistakes.
Edofenrir 21:05, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Sorry, I've got too many writing projects already on the go right now. - Walkazo 20:24, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Proposal

What do you specifically mean by your comment? It made sense to me bofore, but I can't comprehend anything right now (I need coffee :P) · SMB (Talk) · 20:20, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Ummm, which Proposal? I comment on many Proposals... - Walkazo 20:24, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Oh, right. Sorry, I meant the Keys proposal. I remember you made a very good suggestion, and it is still there, but could you explain it to me? I want to make those changes to the proposal. · SMB (Talk) · 20:27, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Ok, I got the Paper Mario series keys and the Super Mario 64 DS keys into seperate articles. Can I have permission to add them to the proposal (due to the rewrite rule)? · SMB (Talk) · 20:49, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Add <br clear=all>s to the PM list to make it less crowded, and add a Yakkey section too (link to the Yakkey article with {{Main}}). Also, create a mock-up of the final Key article to show how useable, consistent and efficient the whole system will be. "Key" will house the overall key exposition ("keys open things in Mario games"), list both the unnamed keys and the keys with individual articles (i.e. the living keys, linked to with {{Main}}), and the Mario Party keys that don't have their own pages (Bowser Key really needs to be separated sometime); the links to the two other lists should either be included in the "SM64DS" and "Paper Mario series" sections, also with {{Main}}. Once all that's done, we can work on wording the proposal so that the benefits of three lists over one list and dozens of unexpandable stubs will be irrefutable. However, there's no time to save the current proposal - it is doomed to failure at this point. You can ask a Sysop to delete it, saying you no longer support the single list idea as a result of everyone's comments and would like to propose something better instead (which is true); I'd delete it for you based on that reasoning, but since I'm now personally involved with the Proposal, it wouldn't be right (I don't want to be accused of abusing my power). Try asking Time Q: he's opposing the change, so he'd have no ulterior motive for giving it a second chance at life, but he's reasonable enough to not deny you just because he personally disagrees with your idea; he's also one of the de-facto rulers of the Proposals page (IMO), so it's right up his alley. But if worse comes to worst, we'll just have to bide our time and bring it back in a month. - Walkazo 22:50, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

My Proposal

You can delete my proposal. It didn't really mean much to me anyway. Plus Marioguy1 made a proposal simalar to mine, but regarding everything. Lemmy Koopa Fan

But how exactly do you merge pages? I really don't know. I would just delete Rope Snake if I knew how.
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lemmy Koopa Fan (talk).

Birthday

How exactly do you make it known that you are having a birthday? Is there like a template? Could you do whatever you have to do to let people know my birthday's September 8th? Somehow, I don't know much about this wiki's systems yet. Sorry for the extra work, Marioguy1 (talk)

Friend Request

Hi from File:Staring Mario.jpg Cmario17File:Staring Mario.jpg You know, I want a Bowser victory too...Bowser is too big and brawny to be pushed around by some little plumber. I posted a userbox on my page, you can use it if you can copy the right source code...(It's a mess!)

Thanks, but I like my generic Koopa Troopa/Bowser-supporting userbox. Here's hoping M&L3 is only the first of many pro-Bowser titles! - Walkazo 19:26, 4 September 2009 (EDT)

こんにちは！　ワルカゾさん！

Long time no see. SJ derp :P

Funny, I was just thinking that when I saw you on RecentChanges! How are you? - Walkazo 20:51, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

I'm fine. Busy with school, but fine. I reserved Mario and Luigi 3 yesterday, so I'm impatiently waiting for Monday. ^^; How are you doing? And...is "Wa wa" your nickname or something? That's what the header changed to after you responded. o.O; SJ derp :P

I'm busy with school too. PP and I haven't reserves M&L3, but we'll still get it some time next week - Toronto's got enough game stores to ensure the supply won't run out. No, my official nick's "Walk" (I've been called a myriad of other things too - people who "per" on proposals can be quite creative); the header still reads as a bunch of question marks on my end... weird. - Walkazo 21:04, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

MARIO WIKI IS POSSESSED BY JAPANESE-HATING VIRUSES! </bad joke> I probably could have gotten without reserving it; nothing ever happens in my town (which is hilarious cuz I looked it up on Youtube and there were like 50 videos about it. XD). I just wanna get it right away while obsession is still burning. :P SJ derp :P

YouTube ftw - my highschool's got around 10 videos about it (maybe more: I haven't checked in a while); I'm even in one! Anyway, I've gottta go eat dinner now. I might come on later to finish my WarioWare work, but I have to get up really early tomorrow, so I make no promises. It was nice talking to you again, and I'll see you around! - Walkazo 21:21, 11 September 2009 (EDT)

See ya! And be sure to keep your fingers crossed, it might help with me finally being able for me to force myself to be active. ^^ SJ derp :P

Well, NoA decided that only Nintendo World was gonna get M&L3 today, so I don't get it until tomorrow. :/ SJ derp :P

That sucks. My brother was supposed to pick up a copy on his way home from school, but he forgot / was too lazy to do it (I usually buy all our new titles, but now I go to a different school and there's no game/electronic stores on my route home). - Walkazo 22:48, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

That sucks. Maybe you can write it on his forehead or something. :P I'm picking mine up tomorrow when my dad gets home from work. I got the guide today, though. :) SJ derp :P

If I write it on his forehead everyone else will know to buy M&L3, but PP doesn't look at mirrors too often (especially not when he's at school), so I doubt it'd do him much good :P - Walkazo 22:56, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

Raspberry

Well, excuse me. Alpheta 23:32, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

You're excused. I wouldn't expect anyone to know the regulations at this point in time since the policy page hasn't been posted yet, but a draft of the redirect rules (all approved by the Sysops) can be seen here. - Walkazo 23:49, 14 September 2009 (EDT)

Vote

Can you please vote on Yoshi's unfeature nom? There are two votes that really should be removed (they have no reasons at all) and we need one more vote to validate the removal. Read the votes if you want but you'll find that they have no reasons and that they were placed just to stop the article. Marioguy1 (talk)

Walkazo...!

Well... hello hungry devilish reptilian friend. It's been a while since we talked. How was the university in your block? Anything fancy or no? For me, if you haven't noticed, school has started for me, and since it's 10th grade; it's graciously a bit more harder to manage. I have been trying to work on my times and stuff, and I won't tell all the info since I wrote this still thing in the forums. Where I... *cough* How are you? Since you are presumably using an old computer, I have an idea... you try out using Mibbit. It doesn't require any java. Maybe we can talk each other a bit more personal, just having a nice chat. We can talk about the wiki issues via real-time as well. Just pointing out. I hope that you will do very well in your education. :) RAP...

Actually, the wiki that your talking about... it's in hitaus, yeah. The owner is pretty busy with his life right now; so I have to stop and come back here relook at all the problems we're all having for all those years. And ah, as I expected; the university occupication. ;o No chatting? Awww well. It's nice that your doing some work here while in the university. RAP...

hi there

I noticed from ALlies on the recent changes someone vandalized it. Could you revert that? User:Yoshiaga/sig 17:21, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Re: Proposal

No problem :) I actually was working on a few other things (maintenance), and I really didn't have the time to work on it. Say, I just remembered, and I do not mean to pester you on this, but are you still going to rejoin Userpedia sometime? I have a feeling we will be having an increase of activity on there due to the user space rules finally being enforced, as well as the recent promotions/demotions that have taken place over there. · SMB (Talk) · 18:42, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Edit conflict. Anyway, I understand. Well, I can help you update your page if you want. You can PM me whatever you want changed on your page in the forums if you want, and I'll take care of it. :) Well, I do hope you end up having more free time, it sounds like you are very busy! · SMB (Talk) · 19:09, 22 September 2009 (EDT)

Finally!!!!!!!!

That's pretty much Fantendo stuff I guess, and also I wasn't really using them. This was a huge favor that I didn't even asked, so...Thank you very much! I put it on my user page under "help wanted" page, but next time (if there is), I will put it on the page needed to be deleted, okay? Thank you again and see you later! Baby Mario Bloops

Sorry

Yoshi! Sorry, I was just trying to help guests find what they want, when they want. I'll Stop Now. Oh yeah but is say Redirecting "Fire Crabs" to "Fire Crab" OK , because thats mainly what i'm doing. YellowYoshi127

Section 29

*slap* You know Bowser?! And you dream he is a playable character?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— The preceding unsigned comment was added by Superpaperbowser (talk).

Well, I know about him and my dream is to see him as a playable character in his own game, if that is what you mean. - Walkazo 22:44, 29 September 2009 (EDT)

Hi. I saw you were going around changing <br /> to <br/> in articles. This is a pretty minor thing, but the correct form is <br />, because we use XHTML. There might be a few browsers that would render <br/> incorrectly. - 2257^(Talk) 00:49, 30 September 2009 (EDT)
