Okay, thanks! Yoshi's Island 17:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Nice job

Hey Yoshi's Island, nice job on your contributions :D Keep it up. Also, about your images, try not to take images from a camera onto devices cause they result in bad quality. You can use emulators instead, or if you just think you can't do it, put the {{image}} tag on top of the article. I hope to see you around here more :) Super-Yoshi Talk? C???

Thanks! Is it not better to have a bad image, rather than none at all? If someone can get a better image, it's only to replace it. Or? - Yoshi's Island 10:17, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Oh I forgot to mention this on the top haha, of course it's better to have a bad image than none at all :P Just be sure to tag it with {{image-quality}} and your good to go! :D Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Can you obtain a picture of a Custom Ticket too? Just before you wrote to me for the first time, I took a picture of one. (Please feel free to correct me if I write bad English, when I learn for the next time!) - Yoshi's Island 10:29, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Sure sure, no problem. I can give you the emulator if you want so you can take your own pictures and upload them. And no way, your english is perfectly fine! :P Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Thanks, but what is an emulator? Yoshi's Island 10:37, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
An emulator is something that "imitates" the original device, so you can do whatever you want. What i'm talking of, is game emulators. For example, i'm using Visual Boy Advance to emulate Mario Golf, and im taking screenshots too. Visual Boy Advance isn't a real Game Boy Advance, but rather a program used to imitate the functionalities of it. Also, where are the custom tickets lol? Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
So, is it a machine, or a program to the computer? I took an image on a Custom Ticket in the Custom Club Shop. Ask the man at the counter and select the top option (I can't remember what it says). - Yoshi's Island 10:48, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Program to the computer, most of the time an .exe file, but can be java based too. Also thanks :P Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Hmm, that seems very complicated. I have no software or cable so I can connect the Game Boy Advance to my computer. It's probably better that other users (like you), takes on the matter (although it is fun to upload images). - Yoshi's Island 10:57, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Oh no no no, you just download something off the internet and thats it! No cables or anything required :P. Here ill give the link to you: http://emulator-zone.com/doc.php/gba/vboyadvance.html

Download 1.80 beta3, and youve got yourself an emulator! Ill tell you more tommorow, its 4 am where I am lol. You can upload that screenshot you took with your camera, and tommorow i will teach you how to make the image you took the highest quality possible with emulators :P Cya for now YI! Super-Yoshi Talk? C???

Okay, good night! Questions that you can answer tomorrow (or today for me :)): Is it legal to download games that actually cost money? I don't want to get a fine or imprisonment! - Yoshi's Island 11:40, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Well, this is how it is. If you own the game, you can download the game and keep it till whenever, however if you don't, then yea, it is illegal cause you didn't purchase it. However, it's extremely rare that officials are going to fine you or imprison you, since that vast majority on the internet do the same thing. The odds of having that happen are probably the same as winning the jackpot in the lottery. Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Okay, good. While we are discussing what's legal and not, can I upload an image of something that has to do with Mario, which I have found on the Internet. For example, an artwork or a screenshot? - Yoshi's Island 19:15, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Of course you can! That's what the MarioWiki is haha. If it's an official artwork or screenshot, then you can put it on a wiki page. But if its fanart, then you have to tag "{{personal-image|Yoshi's Island}}" with the image you are uploaded. You can then use the image on your userpage, signature, etc. :P Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Okay :)!!! I just wondered, because you can't do it on Wikipedia . - Yoshi's Island 19:30, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Oh, is it like a minor screenshot or art? Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
That do you mean? - Yoshi's Island 19:34, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Like a screenshot of a custom ticket or something. Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Are you talking about what is allowed on Wikipedia or Super Mario Wiki? Wikipedia: NO!!! Images such as video game screenshots or toys is not allowed! Super Mario Wiki: I don't know! - Yoshi's Island 19:56, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
Yea I was talking about uploading on Wikipedia. You can upload mostly anything Mario related as long as it's official. See here if you need further details and stuff. Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Okay, thanks! - Yoshi's Island 20:18, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
No Problem :) Super-Yoshi This has been a loooooooong conversation haha.Talk? C???
Sure sure, but you sure you don't want the emulator for yourself? Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Okay, okay. Now I have a Visual Boy Advance, but no games. - Yoshi's Island 08:26, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Here, click Roms and the GBA :P. Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
I saw the link on your userpage, but I can't find MGAT in the list. - Yoshi's Island 09:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Oh hold on, ill upload. Any others you need? Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Here you go Super-Yoshi Talk? C???
Thank you! It works! Nothing more just right now. - Yoshi's Island 10:36, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
No problem :D And ok :P Super-Yoshi Talk? C???

I see

I see you like Yoshi, i like him two. But there is one Dinosaur I like more than Yoshi. Anyway we seem to have played a lot of the same games. If you want to find out the dino I like better than Yoshi, go to my page.  GalacticPetey 

Oh! It looks exciting, but Yoshi is of course the best dino! Your favorite is not even from any Mario game, if I understand it correctly. File:Yoshi Egg Big.gif (t) Yoshi's Island (c)File:PM2 Yoshi.PNG 08:12, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Dk Jungle Jet game

I noticed you playt that DK Jungle Jet thingy, if you have it would you mind in helping create pages for the levels in the game, it would help the wiki quite a bit. Also hi, how are you?  Garlic Stapler  

Yes, I can. I don't know if I have the time just right now, but sometimes I think I can help. Fine thanks, and you? - File:Yoshi Egg Big.gif (t) Yoshi's Island (c)File:PM2 Yoshi.PNG 14:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Alright I guess, just trying to get rid of red links is all, taking awhile but well worth doing, heh. You can reply on my page if you want,it's a faster way for users to notice that they have been replied to. Also kittens, yay. D:  Garlic Stapler  

Cool, thanks, that'll be more pages users can contribute on, wish I had a Wii though, so many good games. =]  Garlic Stapler  

Deletion

The page(s) you recently created (DK Jungle Sunset) has/have been put up for deletion, has been deleted, or turned into a redirect. This may be because it violated at least one of the policies and/or guidelines of the Super Mario Wiki. There are some things you can do to ensure this doesn't happen again.
  1. Make sure there is no other article about the same subject with a different title, especially for conjectural articles.
  2. Make sure the article has enough information to make it a worthwhile read (i.e. it does more than state the obvious, such as "Luigi's Mansion is a mansion that is owned by Luigi"). Overly short articles are known as stubs and their creation is strongly discouraged; it is better to amass enough information to make a solid article right off the bat instead.
  3. Make sure the article is significant enough in the Super Mario franchise to have its own article.

If the article has only been tagged to be deleted you can still fix or expand it, but an administrator may delete it at any time, so please act quickly. Thank you for reading, and keep contributing!

--Knife (talk) 15:46, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

We have created a policy that new stubs are not allowed. The attitude that someone else will expand it beyond a stub for you is not a helpful editing style. This is because many stubs created get completely ignored while red links get better attention from potential editors. Garlic Stapler may have said it was okay to create the article, but not create a new stub. Some info is better than none, but not when it detracts editing traffic.--Knife (talk) 06:02, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Grand Pianta Statue

Hi, sorry to contradict ya, but it's actually called "Grand Pianta Statue"...if you want proof, there's an in-game pic on the Delfino Plaza page that shows that...   PHOENIX (talkedits) 11:55, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

I know, I noticed that too and I agree completely...I've just never proposed anything before, so I'm not really sure how that works...or if a proposal is even needed for that, in any case, I'm really not sure why the article was titled "Great" Pianta Statue in the first place...though the fact that Grand Pianta Statue successfully redirects to Great Pianta Statue leads me to believe that somebody somewhere must have realized it was wrong at some point, or else why create the redirect, u know?   PHOENIX (talkedits) 13:02, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, well, do you know how to move it? Cuz I'm not sure I do...   PHOENIX (talkedits) 19:22, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! Hopefully it will get changed soon...   PHOENIX (talkedits) 09:04, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I fixed it. You can't move it if a redirect already goes to it, but you can just copy and paste the information onto the redirect and turn the Great Pianta Statue article into a redirect to Grand Pianta Statue. Fawfulfury65

Shroom/Mushroom

You know the proposal on Talk:Life Shroom? The proposal is proposing we split "Life Shroom" into "Life Shroom" and "Life Mushroom". I agree that the items have totally different effects but the proposal will have them split into exactly those two things. Now, the definitions of "Shroom" and "Mushroom" are the same thing; which means we will be creating an article ("Life Mushroom") where a redirect should be instead. Now, splitting it into "Life Shroom" and "Life Shroom (Galaxy series)" would be an applicable option, but the proposer isn't proposing that. So until he does that, I will not support and I beg that you don't either. Marioguy1 (talk)

Voice actors
