Loading times?

My user page takes overly long to load. Anyone have an idea what could be the problem? YouTube videos, DPL scripts? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:42, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Same thing happens to me. Maybe even longer; it's just because you have a lot of images, text, and all that stuff. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

very well

very well when I have time I shall water it down. However i believed you could put what u want on ur talk page, including ur own personal opinions, was that not the essence of it? but i shall water it down. X06 20:46, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

favor

That Garlic Man fellow and 1 other or so keep undoing around half of my edits, even when they are good edits, simply for the sake of doing so, perhaps cause they dislike me. plz correct them for doing this and ask them to consult with sysops b4 undoing perfectly good edits for no reason whatsoever.

Request

Hey, this seems like a dumb request, but... Apparently, my Shaymin sig image is linked to more pages than my Regigigas sig image... I've grown curious why that is. I believe some Users might've used it without my permission. So, this may be a big request, but could you please check it out for me? I have to go now, so I can't check myself. Sorry. My Bloody Valentine

What's the big deal? You haven't created those images. Would be waste of server space to make other users upload the very same image under a different name. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:08, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Ehhhhhh... I guess. But, isn't the point of personal images to have images meant for use by you only? :| My Bloody Valentine

We even have a rule book for that. I went through the list of usages of the shaymin image and I didn't find anything suspicious. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:13, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

...Sometimes I question why I'm a Sysop. >_> Never mind, thanks. It was a stupid request, anyway. My Bloody Valentine I'll just go play Metroid Prime.

User:Mariowiki/Sig has both of your images, by the way, and it's too big, so you can tell the user off anyway. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:16, 6 April 2008 (EDT)

Mkay. Thanks. OK, I've disobeyed my parents orders long enough. Time for me to go! ;; My Bloody Valentine

Forums

Cobold, I need your help on how to post a poll on the forums. Could you please tell me how? I desperately need to know for the Fake News. — Stooben Rooben I don't know my way around the forum at all.

No idea, I'm not even a member of the forum. Generally, it is somewhere among the start-new-thread options. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:48, 7 April 2008 (EDT)
Okay, thanks. I'll see if I can do it now. — Stooben Rooben
Excellent! I found it! Thank you so much! — Stooben Rooben

Boredom...

Since I'm so very bored, and haven't talked to you in a while, I decided to drop by and say hi. So... HI! Still waiting for Super Smash Bros. Brawl... GAH, freakin' PAL delays! >> Speaking of which, hope you get a Wii soon! Otherwise... Well, what's the point of buying Brawl without a Wii? :P Hope we get to fight each other one day! >:) My Bloody Valentine Updates are ending April 14th. Two updates left, and they BETTER BE GOOD!

True. The lag we'll get when playing from across the world will be tremendous. So long as it works, however. I suck at SSB, however, so don't think beating me is an accomplishment. :P And, I suppose so... I'm still hoping for something good. Hopefully some release dates will be revealed, but I'm not counting on that. :( My Bloody Valentine Have you seen Nintendo of Australia's page on SSBB? LOL, its AWESOME! XD But, I have to go now, sorry. :'(

OK, now THAT review was horrible. Its a joke review, isn't it? No one would go on about the game like that. NO ONE! I mean, c'mon, even Uniju liked Brawl! And he hates SSB! My Bloody Valentine

smokes

it seems there is an user nicknamed smoke, who is creating too many accounts here ¢oincoll€ctor rsitem209.png you should block by sockpuppetry... you can look that in "recent changes" page

Yeah, I noticed and he already started making jokes on my cost, as expected. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:30, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

Signature

I was wondering if my signature was violating any rules? I didn't think it was, but I wanted to ask. — Stooben Rooben I don't want to break the rules.

Thanks. — Stooben Rooben

Excuse Me?

Um it offends me but you can do whatever you want to do.F g 

It's there to offend you. When you get annoyed, you've done all he wants. That's called feeding the trolls. It's only a name, it doesn't hurt anyone. When you ignore it, he doesn't get the attention he wants. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:51, 19 April 2008 (EDT)

Yo!

I made these a while ago, but, w/e. Just wanted to show off to you. :P In case you don't know, I made you in Sonic form. And I thought you'd work best as a robot, lol. XD So I picked the obscure Sonic character, E-102 Gamma. You don't care, I know, but I suppose you'd appreciate sprite quality? :) My Bloody Valentine

Lol, yeah. E-102 Gamma only made a major appearance in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Battle. Most other appearances were as a mass-produced line of robots that acted as enemies. I don't like him, really, but still. :P I just wanted to show you for the heck of it. Lol. XP My Bloody Valentine

Hey, Cobold. Just so you know, there's a guy, probably Smoke, who says he's a troll. Homer (talk). Just look at the bottom of my talk page for full details. He's probably harmless, but I just thought I'd report it. ;) BLOC PARTIER.

NVM, it was KP Shadow. See the (funny) details here. BLOC PARTIER.

Agreement

Hi! I was just wondering if we could come to an agreement on Baby Daisy's relationship section, While I, along with a few other people think the section should stay, you, along with a few other people think it should go. We should come to an agreement whether or not the section should stay on the page. Thanks, and sorry for getting mad at you about all this. =) -Moonshine

images

okay!, then I must erase 14 images, but I have seen many users who have many images and they do not say anything to them, and like example a user have a 30 images of kittens and the user Koopa Troopa, as you can explain this?please!

---Birdoshi---

fix my new user name

Having a user name starting with a small letter is not possible. Would you still be okay with the new name being "Game over 'shroom"? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 11:58, 26 April 2008

yes it's okay Chain chomp1 23:03, 26 April 2008 (EDT)

I was bored, so...

Hey Cobold! Just decided to say hi, since I haven't done so in a while. OK, I messaged you a few days back, but only to show off sprites. :P So, what's new? I'm getting worried that I'm becomming too inactive to be a Sysop... D: I must fix that, and quickly! *goes to search for things that need maintenance*. :P What's happening on your side of the world? q: My Bloody Valentine

Well, yeah, that kinda sucks... You really need a Wii. :( I'm getting MKWii next week, but only to have a decent Wi-Fi Wii game. I don't really care for the Mario Kart series. :| I might start playing my other games later; Including Sonic Mega Collection. :) As for Wiki work, I know! Its like there's nothing to do anymore! All I can do is maintenance, which is something I can't do heavily on a daily basis. :( I have to find something to fix, and quick! Even though I'm going fishing soon after I write this message. :P My Bloody Valentine

images part 2

--Mauj.gif 21:01, 27 April 2008 (EDT)Hi! hey!no encounter the user of 30 images of kittens, but I swear, the user he is real,but I will find that user. By the honor, By the family and by the donuts! And the user Koopa Troopa, he have more images why?

Sysop

Sorry to bother you, but a different sysop redirected me here. About promotions, it seems like there have been a lot recently(although 3 were caused by the abolition of patrollerhood). I'm not in a hurry or anything, or saying that someone should be promoted sooner. But I was just wondering when the next promotion would be. Should a rule be made about a limit for promotions per month (As in a proposal)? Anyway, I was just wondering. Thanks. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

No. Who becomes sysop or not is decided explicitely by Bureaucrats. It's the only reason for their rank and cannot be passed to someone else. Proposals like this are banned. The MarioWiki is not a democracy after all, and also not trying to be. Bureaucrats in turn only exist because the site leader can't do all he would like to. The next Sysop will be chosen, quite simply, when the bureaucrats (me, RAP, Porplemontage) feel like it.
It's of course not a completely random decision either. After the recent numbers of promotions, I decided to wait for a while until the next. I don't know what other Bureaucrats want to do though. And any good user with fair contributions can anticipate the job in the meanwhile. ;) - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:48, 30 April 2008 (EDT)
Whoa, I think you kind of totally misunderstood what I said... but oh well. If I tried to rephrase it, it would probably just become even more confusing :P. You see, Blitzwing made it seem like the only reason was because there were too many recently. Anyway, I see your point now. Marcelagus (T • C • E) Go Communism!!
I'm good in not understanding at all what other people say. ;) You could try to say it in different words. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 08:15, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

In this case, Cobold, I nominate Garlic Man and Stooben Rooben for Sysop. I asked Steve, he directed me to you and RAP. RAP said he'll keep an eye on their performance on the Wiki, so now here I am asking for your opinion. ;) My Bloody Valentine

I don't get it. The case I described is still waiting a bit until the next nomination. Anyway, I'll keep an eye out as well. Stooben Rooben has been nominated countless times already. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:59, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Ohai

Hey Cobold, you might not know me but we will someday. I was just gonna say Hi XP Super-Yoshi Talk? C???

Hello. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:50, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
Whatcha doin :P Super-Yoshi Talk? C???

Dry Bones

Hello, Cobold. I wanted to check with you to see if the Dry Bones article is POV-free now? I tried to remove all the biased terms; if it needs more work, I'll spend more time on it. — Stooben Rooben 14:35, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

I think it's now largely neutral. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:49, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
Thank you. ;) And thanks for fixing up the parts of the article that about games I haven't played. — Stooben Rooben 16:52, 2 May 2008 (EDT)

Hopeless

What would happen to a user if they called another user hopeless? SJ derp :P

Depends entirely on the context. Who did it when and where? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:49, 2 May 2008 (EDT)
Fixy did it on the proposal comments. I really didn't care but he's been in my face about everything lately and I'm seriously sick of it. SJ derp :P
Did you read it. I don't care if it's not a big deal, but can you least tell him to get out of my face? SJ derp :P
Forget it. Blitz gave him a warning. SJ derp :P

Why did you block my ID adress?

Are Wii having fun yet?

No, really, are we? Cuz I sure think so! HOORAY!! And you're getting SMG and MKWii, PLUS Wii Sports (right? :P)! That freakin' PWNs! You won't be disappointed with either of those two! Both SMG and MKWii PWN! I'm so happy for you, dude! Gonna get Wi-Fi? I'm addicted to Mario Kart Wii Wi-Fi! :P My Bloody Valentine

Wii Play sucks so much. I only got that for the extra Wiimote. Wii Sports is a good multi-player game, but not really anything more... Super Mario Galaxy is totally made of win, it PWNs so badly! Mario Kart Wii is the best Mario Kart ever, and I don't even like the Mario Kart series! That's how much it PWNs! :D I really want to vs. you in Wi-Fi! MKWii doesn't have much lag, actually. :O You're lucky, I had to use my Brawl money to get MKWii. :( My Bloody Valentine

What's that symbol mean? :( No, really, what does it mean? D: My Bloody Valentine I NEED TO PLAY MORE PEOPLE IN MARIO KART WI-FI! *goes to find TML* :P

Wow, that's a lot. I'm very bad with foriegn currency. You'd know about this stuff cuz you're smart. Gah, so many of our German Users are freakin' intelligent. It makes me feel bad about myself. :( :P My Bloody Valentine YAY! I found TML on Userpedia! I hope I can play Wi-Fi with him! :D

lol, regional differences are kinda annoying and funny sometimes, aren't they? :P I have a large timeline history with Europe, actually. I'm Scottish, Polish, Italian, and Spanish, as well as Australian. :O My Bloody Valentine

O RLY? Well, I don't know too much about the PEOPLE in my family from that far back; I just know what Countries they were from. :P And, TML? Ha-ha, he's the User whose name was changed by RAP from "Dry Bones" to "The Missing Link". Keep track of your Users, dude. Well... He's not really active here; Only Userpedia, so I don't blame you. :P That kinda sucks. YOU NEED TO GET THE WII, NOW!! D: My Bloody Valentine

I get to play a lot, since I'm home-schooled. :P It's fun sometimes. :) My Bloody Valentine GAR, when will my brother unlock Bowser Jr.?! D:

What? D: That kinda sucks. The Australian Government is none too fond of home-schooling, actually. It's not illegal; They just don't like it. Cuz, ya know, they don't get the money you normally pay for actual school... Ugh, the government is messed up. -_- School is a real bother, eh? No surprise... I really hated it when I was in it. :( My Bloody Valentine

High School/University, I assume? One of the two. I could NEVER handle school, no, not now. I've grown too used to home-schooling. You're stronger than me to be able to handle it! o.o My Bloody Valentine

Ah, I see. Man, the differences between our culture is AMAZING! I hardly realized that... o.o Good luck with school. I'm currently in Year 9, when I should be in Year 8. Ugh, I hate being pushed up to match my brother's grade. It's freakin' hard. :( My sister just got out of University, actually. She said University was a LOT of work, and I don't blame her. o_o My Bloody Valentine HOLY CRAP! This conversation went from you getting a Wii to school talk. XD

Yeah... That sucks. NEEDz MOAR MARIO KART!! :P And, srsly? Being second youngest must be hard, but at least you aren't the youngest. :P Good luck! My Bloody Valentine


umm

which ever one anythings fine with me.  Princess Birdo

Rewrite

I've rewritten the Donkey Kong Jr. article; is it good enough to remove the rewrite tag? — Stooben Rooben 15:36, 5 May 2008 (EDT)

Thanks for doing so. — Stooben Rooben 18:46, 5 May 2008 (EDT)
Hey Cobold, I noticed you gave Sherrif Diddy a last warning a while back. He's had another offense. It's not really spam, but it's a one-sentence page. Dunno if that counts as "breaking the rules in any way."   Glitchman (talk · contribs)   20:31, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
Creating stubs is not an offence in any way. It doesn't help the wiki much, but it's not against the rules. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:39, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

THANK YOU!!!!

THANK U FOR CHANGING MY NAME AT FIRST WHEN I WAS LOGGING IN I THOUGHT THEY MUST HAVE BANNDED ME BUT THEN I TRIED PRINCESS WAVE AND IT WORKED OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!! User:PrincessWave

Expansion

Well, I have expanded the Mario Golf article; I was wondering what your opinion was on its current appearance? — Stooben Rooben 23:56, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

Okay. I think I'll remove the expansion tag strictly because it's an article about a golfing game; even Toadstool Tour doesn't have that long of an article. Thanks for the advice. — Stooben Rooben 14:48, 7 May 2008 (EDT)


You got a Wii?

What the header said. SJ derp :P

YAY! You got a damn Wii! (Moogle reference. :P) I know, they both PWN! :D Can't wait to play you in MKWii! It's a bit laggy, but shouldn't be too bad. Now all you need is Super Smash Bros. Brawl to go with that collection. ;) My Bloody Valentine

Re: Super Blooper

Just because it was MKWii-related doesn't mean it was me. Wa Yoshihead.png TC@Y 11:49, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Proposals Sigs

Please read the bottom of this. I am really sorry for bothering you about this, but it is REALLY something I don't want ignored. It's pretty much a less serious Proposal, and I need your approval/opposal/comment on it, seeing how you're a 'Crat. RAP didn't seem to care, so... Yeah. My Bloody Valentine

Brawl Release

Yeah, I know! CAN'T WAIT!!! I'm so hyped up for it! And I get a whole extra day of practice before I get a chance to verse you! XD I found the timer thing on Jdrowlands page. I find it amazing what Wiki Coding can do. :O My Bloody Valentine

Srsly? :O

Wow, I never knew you could get yellow sparks on a bike! I mean, even the "Iwata Asks" interview said you couldn't... how do you do it? Marcelagus (T • C • E) Teach me! :D

I really have no idea. But a friend of mine made it and I think I did too, sometime. I'm currently lacking real confirmation. Did they really say that? - Cobold (talk · contribs) 18:55, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
Hm, odd. I can't seem to find any proof of yellow sparks on a bike, either, but should the statement on the article stay? Or should it be changed back? Also, about the Iwata asks thing, I was slightly off. The actual quote was: "On a course with lots of corners, it might be better to choose a kart so you could drift." I don't know whether it's saying only karts can drift or it's easier, but it seems to be better on karts. Marcelagus (T • C • E)

Princess Peach Images

The Super Princess Peach images you removed are not on the game's article. I'll take care of those four you just removed, but let me know if there are any others that got taken down. Stumpers! 18:02, 16 May 2008 (EDT)

Cool. There's a website I know of that has a lot/all of the artwork from the game, so I'll just upload what is missing if I find time. :P On a side note, I'm still flip-flopping on that proposal... it sounds ok, but I'd really like a page or part of a page to stay where a user could see all the images if he/she chose. Stumpers! 18:19, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
TimeQ mentioned that the artwork would still be on the Wiki because it would be included on each game's page. Provided we didn't make galleries for the games as well, would using categories solve that problem? Stumpers! 18:28, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
Sorry about that. If the current proposal regarding image galleries passes, certain images will be moved from character pages to their respective game/TV/comic/movie page and placed in a gallery there. So, they will be listed as being used on at least one page. Then, we could make categories for each characters' images, so like Category:Princess Peach Images, and none of them would be listed as not being on an article because each one was on a character page, game page, or both. Stumpers! 18:35, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
Cool. Well, if that counts as permission to do so, I'll be moving my vote in that proposal. Stumpers! 18:50, 16 May 2008 (EDT)
Awesome. I'll get on to that when I can then. Probably not before Tuesday, though. This weekend is going to stink. Stumpers! 01:25, 17 May 2008 (EDT)

Templates

Incase if you didn't or just read them quickly in the main page talk page, should we add the Navbox template from Wikipedia, or try to find another way to stylize the templates. The other option seems unusually tricky. :(  RAP... I feel like deleting certain templates now that are unnesscary... XD

Well let's see, here's an example of one. This one is from the Fire Emblem series, :P Anyway, this is how a navbox should look like, it has a hide/show button, those nice slots in the core of the template, and the 3 quick-accessable buttons at the left. I'm trying to duplicate it but there are issues that I can't duplicate. :( Take a look at Template:Mario Party 3 or Template:Party3Items.  RAP...

Yay! Can't wait! MKWii isn't very laggy. I'm more worried about Brawl. D: My Bloody Valentine

Wii

Hey, Cobold! I heard you finally got a Wii. What do you think of it? — Stooben Rooben 19:22, 20 May 2008 (EDT)

It's awesome stuff. Be sure to get it if you don't already. Just don't play Wii right after eating carrots, or you'll have orange remotes instead of white ones. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:43, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

lol, K'. "0001-3890-2835", muh FC! :) My Bloody Valentine

Great. Meet you in a few days, when I will be able to get on that Wi-Fi again. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:43, 21 May 2008 (EDT)
XD I'll be sure not to do that. Maybe if I get Mario Kart Wii soon, we could play a wi-fi match. :) — Stooben Rooben 21:46, 21 May 2008 (EDT)

German Names

Hello, Cobold, maybe you could help me with the explanation of a few German names? I'm not that happy with the explanation of Susel Dusel and Susel Wusel, the "Susel" should be mentioned someway, but I don't know in which way. And the explanation of "Dusel" is surely not the best, too. Another name: I'm very unsure about the meaning of O'Klock. Maybe it is a pun on "Kloppen" (what's the English equivalent?) and "knock out", but this might be already too far-fetched, or? If it helps you, he often says "Auf die Klocke!" in the German version when he wants to fight. First, I wanted to write that his name comes from this phrase which is a pun on "Auf die Glocke!", but I don't know an English equivalent, too. --Grandy02 14:44, 22 May 2008 (EDT)

I think that "O'Klock" is a pun on English "o'clock". About the rest, I really have no idea either. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:07, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
Thanks for help, "o'clock" didn't came to my mind for some reason. But I still don't know how this refers to the character. Perhaps a pun on a random English phrase because he seems to be some kind of "Scottish"? --Grandy02 15:18, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
I can't tell, I haven't played the game. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:30, 22 May 2008 (EDT)
Okay, but I guess that you, as a fan of Mario RPGs, will surely play it in the future, since you have a Wii now, right? :-) Quick question: Do you think that the explanation for Sörfa is grammatically correct/understandable? --Grandy02 07:58, 23 May 2008 (EDT)
