I'm going to be probably inactive for a few months, like 4 or 5, so bye everyone

okay... any reason why?

he got banned from the mariowiki, perhaps thats why

hi

I decided to retire from NIWA, and all the other wikis I'm active. Since I'm blocked at Mariowiki, I ask someone to delete my userpage at that wiki and archive my talk page.

Link

I noticed something. I went onto Bulbapedia and scrolled down the main page. I found that it can be found in 7 different languages. Here's Japanese: http://wiki.xn--rckteqa2e.com/wiki/%E3%83%A1%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%83%9A%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8, for one. I wonder when the other 5 NIWA wikis will have wikis in different languages.

I think they are worried we'll do the same thing. Which we haven't and will not.

At least Kirby Wikia didn't make the same mistake. I think KRR already hates us because of some stupid n00b user who stole content from them and put it on the Kirby Wikia.

It's called plagiarism.

Take a lucky guess.  [What else?]

How about completing the Trading Cards set thingy

"Will you stop?!!? What fools!
Haven't you begun to understand? The kingdom being ruined and us left in this state...
Isn't it petty, little battles like this that have caused it?
Believing in your friends and embracing that belief by forgiving failure...
These feelings have vanished from our hearts."

He got blocked because of the name?

I'm thinking a guy got blocked who happened to have that name

No, it was because he was disturbing the peace there. Laurus knows more about it, so you should probably pm him.

I made a small article the other day

And there was much rejoicing *yeah*....

which article are we talking about?

New Age Retro Hippie, and by article I mean one sentence.

I know a user at the SMW who had that name, and he got blocked

[Oh, and another one]

Oh, and another one


No Offensive Material

As a wiki user, I have rarely seen it, and I do not know if there is an already exising rule for this, but I think we should make a new rule for Offensive Material. If a proposal has material deemed offensive by at least three active users, the part that includes the offensive material must be deleted. If it is added again by the proposer, the proposal itself will be deleted.
If you have any suggestions for this proposal, please put them in the comments section.

Proposer: Super Mario Bros. (Talk)
Deadline: 17:00, Monday, 25 May 2009

Create New Rule

Super Mario Bros. (Talk) Per my reasons above.
Leave As Is

Ghost Jam (Talk) - I don't think we really need a rule for this as it's more of a matter of common sense. In general, Sysops will delete obviously offensive material.
Girrrtacos (Talk) Per Ghost Jam- leave it to the Sysops.
Time Q (Talk): Per Ghost Jam. Why make a rule for everything? The list of rules on the proposal page is way too long already, anyway.
Stooben Rooben (Talk) Per that ghosty thing up there. Some people could also take offense to certain things, while other don't. (Take the Mario Hentai debate a few months back for example. Many hardcore MarioWikians wanted to add information on it as long as it was official; others didn't want it because it would 'taint' the community.)
Per Stooben Rooben. Hehehe. Hentai. Perfect example. Hyper Guy (Talk)
Walkazo (Talk) - Per all.
Yoshario (Talk) - Per GJ & Stooby
Tucayo (Talk) - Per everybody, that sounded weird, Per all.
Alan Warp Zone (Talk) - Yes the patroller r for that, but why not we have a Warn button on some places like forums it works...

Eliminate Mainstream Signatures

I was listening to what one of the fellow wiki members have said, and I actually think my proposal about allowing certain signatures was dumb. I myself own an eleven year old computer as well. So, I am going to say what this proposal is about now. If this proposal passes, signatures will be banned from MarioWiki and Help talk pages as well as other pages that say that they are, but will be allowed on article talk pages, user pages, and user talk pages. I think that it slows down older computers and it looks more professional with the {{User|Username Here}} format on the mainstream wiki.

Proposer: Super Mario Bros. (Talk), with ideas from Walkazo (Talk)
Deadline: Tuesday, 26 May 2009, 17:00

Support

Super Mario Bros. (Talk) Per reasons above.
Alan Warp Zone (Talk) I have a good computer, but I think so, cause old computers take time to load.
Blitzwing (Talk) Signatures look silly on public pages, and they can cause coding problem (Infact, I remember when a signature made it completely impossible to access a page.)
Oppose

KPH2293 (Talk)—I understand banning them from organized voting pages, but this is too extreme. Why don't we just ban signatures that cause technical issues? Not all of them are disruptive.
Tucayo (Talk) - Oppose, oppose, OPPOSE. Blitz:You can just revert that edit. TimeQ: Theyre banned from voting pages, and that only really leaves us talks pages. Stooby: Not all sigs cause problems, so i dont see why the sigs of users who are fine must be deleted from other pages. SMB: If you have an old computer, just mark on your browser something to not show the images
Nerdy Guy (Talk) - Per KPH and Tucayo, plus the following: 1) Having all signtures look the same makes it hard to keep track of who's talking. 2) If the things listed in the perposal happen, we would look boring and dull to anyperson looking at talk pages to see what we think. 3) We can just give a reminder and/or a note to anyone whose sig is causing problems. Besides those reasons, there are other reasons why I think this proposal shouldn't pass; the perposal is a little too extreme, no offense.
Stooben Rooben (Talk) - KPH convinced me. Having no sigs on this page is understandable; but let's not go for overkill.
Comments

I don't really care either way, but let's assume this passes. In that case, that template should really be moved to {{sig}} to avoid accidental userpage transclusions. e.g. "{{user:twentytwofiftyseven}}", instead of "{{user|twentytwofiftyseven}}" Twentytwofiftyseven (Talk)

KPH: That's a good idea. However, certain sigs cause certain problems on different computers. One of my older sigs that had a blue background messed up talk pages for some users, (Pokemon DP, Walkazo, Stumpers, and a few others), while it cause no problems for others. It'd be kind of difficult to narrow down what does and what doesn't cause technical problems, unfortunately. - Stooben Rooben (Talk)
Tucayo: You misunderstood me. I know that not all sigs cause problems, but some do for certain computers. (Example: Super-Yoshi's signature causes the background of a talk page to turn lightgray on my computer, while on others, I'm sure it's fine. So it's hard to target which sigs are "problem-causers", for lack of a better term. - Stooben Rooben (Talk)
By "not all of them are disruptive", I was mainly referring to signatures that are no more problematic than {{user}}, like "KPH2293 (T/C)". Most technical issues are caused by colors/images, and a signature like this uses neither of those. —KPH2293 (Talk)
Then we can just edit sigs taht affect Tucayo (Talk)
Why edit those sigs? I don't even think it is possible, users are not allowed to edit other people's user space. If they were, i
Limiting sigs to User space does seem a tad extreme. Maybe they should just be banned from MarioWiki and Help talk pages, but allowed on article talk pages. - Walkazo (Talk)

Check the proposal. Is it ok? Super Mario Bros. (Talk)
Honestly, I wouldn't mind this proposal as much if it didn't ban anything besides {{user}}. Look at the example I posted in my previous comment - how is that anymore disruptive than the template? Furthermore, why ban them from only MarioWiki/help pages? How would they would be anymore problematic there than they would be on a mainspace talk page? —KPH2293 (Talk)
Well, are you suggesting that we delete them from the mainspace? Also, Tucayo, why edit those sigs? I don't even think it is possible, users are not allowed to edit other people's user space. If they were, I don't think that would be right. Super Mario Bros. (Talk)
Sorry, I should have been more specific. What I mean is, I believe it should be all or nothing. There is little difference between mainspace and MarioWiki talk. Why ban them from one and not the other? Leaving user talk alone makes sense, since what's disruptive on those pages is really up to whoever owns the userspace. Also, you are correct; users do not have the technical power to edit others' pages. Only sysops have that function. —KPH2293 (Talk)

Ok, I wrote the best Shroom section I have probably ever written. http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:The_%27Shroom/World_Cup_Recap

I love the France bashing (guess where my family are from?)

Whoooops.... France? I am sorry ;_;

....? I said I loved the France bashing.. So.... no. I'm not French.

Oooohhh Thanks 

LIke the shroom section was before thursday of release, as 2257 says in his notes "all sections have to be turned in before the thrusday before release"

Oh yeah, by the way, I read that, and the reason why he made all the argentenians skip the part about argentina vs. mexico is because he is mexico.
and because of that and the fact that i hate mexican-americans i will have to blame the world cup on laurus

we already have "New Members Thread" available for this so you should use that instead of creating a new one.

Wars Wiki should have a Featured Picture.

"To the finder, the isle of Koholint is but an illusion... Human, monster, sea, sky... a scene on the lid of a sleeper's eye... Awake the dreamer, and Koholint will vanish much like a bubble on a needle... Cast-away, you should know the truth!"

Porplemontage, our Wiki founder said that it is okay to replace the SMG SMW logo on the hub with this logo:

Hello everyone. Over at the Super Mario Wiki there was this discussion about replacing the logo. I was thinking about your opinions on the new logo.
