Featured article

Hey, you wanna help set up the FA here? So I can get Wario featured in the near future, like he did on Wikipedia. - A Link to the Past 02:39, 28 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Note, the above message went unanswered due to personal issues. -- Ghost Jam 20:09, 17 January 2007 (EST)

Rampage

Holy crap, you were on a rampage today, I wish I can try to go as long as you but my caffine fuel always runs out before I get on a rampage like right now...--Caff ya later, Elite Yoshi 18:03, 22 April 2006 (EDT)

Yeah, I've been meaning to kick the crap out of the items page for a few weeks now. Hell, if I had night classes this year, I would be editing things for a few hours a night (it's not like I take the class to learn anything...). -- Ghost Jam 22:22, 22 April 2006 (EDT)

Hey Ghost Jam, while you're editing all those items pages, could you make sure to add italics around game titles? They're titles, just as you italic titles for books or movies, and thus needs to be done. Plus, you know, it looks more 'official.'

K. I'll run back through when I have more time and fix'em. -- Ghost Jam 13:37, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

Also, you know, nice job with the items page. --DarkInsanity (talk)

^_^ -- Ghost Jam 13:37, 23 April 2006 (EDT)

User Template

How did you make that thing on the right that has your age and everything else?--PeteyPiranhaLover 00:49, 9 August 2006 (EDT)

It's a user template I pulled together from Wikipedia. Feel free to copy it. -- Ghost Jam 21:12, 13 August 2006 (EDT)

What's up

Hey! Glad you're back occasionally. However, some big things happened when you were gone. Should I share them with you?HK-47 w4z h3R3 at 11:27, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Um...sure? -- Ghost Jam 19:02, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

We started a comunity portal, and I became a sysop, along with Wayoshi. Lots of little things I'm forgetting.HK-47 w4z h3R3 at 19:05, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and a rebellion was put down.HK-47 w4z h3R3 at 19:05, 14 August 2006 (EDT)

Knew about the portal and the new sysop but.....rebbellion? -- Ghost Jam 01:07, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

Just my name for an overbearing mudman. Just ignore it. Sorry.HK-47 w4z h3R3 at 01:08, 15 August 2006 (EDT)

Hello

Hello Ghost jam I haven't seen you online for a while.--Fg 16:05, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Sometimes life gets in the way. I try to come on once a day to, at least, clear out things that need to be deleted. -- Ghost Jam 17:13, 9 February 2007 (EST)

Re: Trouble

Do you want me to design your user page?

Admittingly, I'm not the best at designs of user pages. If it's some simple color things, though, I'd be happy to help...just not right now. Maybe tomorrow or Tuesday. You caught me at the end of my tenure here today. Wa _T^C_@^Y 03:28, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Nonononon. You missunderstand. I'm looking for a little feedback on the who false reward idea. I thought it might be fun and modded your format as a neat way to show it. -- Ghost Jam 03:30, 12 February 2007 (EST)

You mean, putting in fake completed missions for yourself from others? Wa _T^C_@^Y 03:34, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Close. Say you list a trouble. I complete the trouble. You then issue me a reward. Be it 10 Coins or 5 Jelly Shrooms. Maybe expand the trouble list so we can put down a fictional reward. It's just for fun. -- Ghost Jam 03:42, 12 February 2007 (EST)

Your trouble

I have finished it.Isyou 18:34, 17 February 2007 (EST)

Um...no you didn't? I don't see a pic on S'crow Funk. -- Ghost Jam 03:45, 18 February 2007 (EST)

OMG im so sorry, i thought you said to put a picture of the scrow thingy... Sorry.Isyou 14:43, 18 February 2007 (EST)

S'cool. The old scarecrow pic was broken anyway, now it works. That's a good thing. -- Ghost Jam 17:02, 18 February 2007 (EST)

Sanction

Really sorry to bother you, but I need a sysops O.K. on something. Since we have a Bestiary for Paper Mario, I thought that I should make one for all games. However, I do'nt want to do work and have it get deleted. Is this I good idea? - Ultimatetoad

I don't see a problem with it. Sounds like a good idea. However, if you'd like to be sure, bring it up on the Talk:Main Page. -- Chris 19:37, 25 February 2007 (EST)

Dupilcate article problem...

Ryan repiles: When I'm starting to license this pic, "Earth quake.PNG" (without the "), I notice two articles down there that were linked to this pic. I discovered that they are dupilcates, could you merge them into one?? --
The preceding unsigned comment was added by RAP (talk).

Taken care of – Earth Quake is the correct name, so I deleted Earthquake. Both had about the same content. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:29, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Thanks. -- Chris 17:36, 5 March 2007 (EST)

Fire Bros.

Sorry that I won't upload another fire bros. image again.F g

Thank you. -- Chris 17:39, 5 March 2007 (EST)

User:Salty

Ghost Jam have you seen Salty online lately?F g

Not in recent memory, no. Now that I think about it, I haven't seen him in a while. His last edit was 16:26, 21 December 2006. -- Chris 17:48, 6 March 2007 (EST)

Deleting

Ghost Jam do you really enjoy deleting stuff in this wiki don't you?F g

Yes, I do. It's a task that on one wants to do, but needs to be done to relieve pressure on the server (and just weed out the crap). With FireFox's ability to remember forum information, the job is made easier. -- Chris 19:11, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Thanks

Hey, I want to say thanks for deleting all those images. It takes a lot of work for someone to delete over 300 images and you've broken that record. Good luck in the future.Knife (talk) 22:48, 8 March 2007 (EST)

No problem. FireFox's forum memory helps speed up the process a bit. I don't have to keep retyping the deletion reason, it's already there. And I couldn't have done all this without help from RAP, whos busted his butt just as much as I have. I've kept a half-arsed list on files sizes. Would you believe that, by my math (which...is lacking), I've deleted at least 1.5mbs of image data already? Crazy. Still a ways to go. -- Chris 03:54, 9 March 2007 (EST)

What the ****?

If you're still wondering what the *** :tumble: is, look here. Max wants a Tumble smiley for the forum. 3D, and so do I.

Gotcha. -- Chris 03:49, 9 March 2007 (EST)

:Tumble:

tumble: is a smiley code. Maxlover wants the character Tumble to have a smiley on the forum. Wa _T^C_@^Y 23:00, 8 March 2007 (EST)

Ah, ok. That would be cute. Not...very useful, but cute. Thanks for the heads up. -- Chris 03:43, 9 March 2007 (EST)

no offence, but not useful? we have birdo, and theres like 3 girls on the Wiki! (peachycakes sockpuppets excluded) Max2 (talk)

Maybe I'm still not getting this. :tumble: would make a smiley of Tumble show in your post, yes? Are you saying we already have a few other smileys? -- Chris 15:37, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Yes we do, actually. For about three weeks we've had. See here. Wa _T^C_@^Y 15:39, 9 March 2007 (EST)

OH! It's a forum thing. Well, then, I'm all for it. -- Chris 16:06, 9 March 2007 (EST)

Hey Ghost Jam, do you know anything about uploading .GIFs? I you do, please help make an animated smiley for Tumble?Knife (talk) 21:47, 10 March 2007 (EST)

Making? No. Uploading? Seeing as this is forum stuff, not really. Wayoshi would prob know more than me. -- Chris 21:52, 10 March 2007 (EST)

Thanks

Thanks for creating that article on Dizzy Dinghies. A grateful fan of Yoshi

No problem. -- Chris 16:04, 11 March 2007 (EDT)

What's Up

What's Up Ghost Jam?F g

Not a whole lot. You? -- Chris 16:49, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

the same as you.F g

I'm taking a mini-break from the wiki. I'm still doing deletions and random template fixes, but nothing intensive. Also, poop is brown. -- Chris 17:10, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Parabeetle Pic

Ghost Jam Calm down and are you mad because you don't want the single parabeetle pic for the parabeetle article?F g

Nonono, I was trying to avoid a revert war. What got me was the sudden "lol, problem solved, YEAH" from Aipom that....really doesn't help. Especially when a vote is underway. -- Chris 17:38, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

SegaWiki

have you seen it? we have 5 articles, 7 users. (just me and him, according to HK-47) Help us, please. Max2 (talk)

Not just us. THere's Illegal Op, DarkCat....HK⁴⁷

Lets take a look....There are 1,383 total pages in the database. This includes "talk" pages, pages about RetroSEGA, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages. Excluding those, there are 5 pages that are probably legitimate content pages. XDDDD, that's an awsome figure. -- Chris 01:19, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Mariowiki Forum

Hey Ghost Jam do you have a forum account on the mariowiki forum?If so, do you wanna chat?F g

Yeah, I'm on the forum, but I don't use it that much. I don't care much for chat programs, they mess with my computer. -- Chris 16:18, 15 March 2007 (EDT)

Happy St. Paddy's Day!

^Plumber The MissingLink Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

XD Thanks, man!. -- Chris 01:19, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Cheese

I'm sure you've noticed the Cheese Craze of '07. Inquiring minds wish to know: Do you like Cheese? Mada Mada Dane

Just left a note there. I like the idea of user categories. But the process needs to be changed. -- Chris 01:26, 18 March 2007 (EDT)

Shhh... cheese lovers live on! ^Plumber

Images

Hey ghost Jam can you delete the crappy images that are not useful?F g

Yes. You don't really have to ask, I check the To Be Deleted list every time I log in. 8 times out of 10, I'll set to work right then and there. -- Chris 23:12, 20 March 2007 (EDT)

Re: More Active Users

From what you said at Talk:Main Page: Are you saying that I think wiki edits aren't as important as being part of the community? I never said that, they're about equal. But, the reason anyone joins should be wiki then community. Wa _T^C_@^Y 19:16, 24 March 2007 (EDT)

Already done. -- Chris 14:50, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Support the Kirby Wiki

SUPPORT KIRBYWIKI!!! Max2 SEE here

FOR MORE INFO!!!! IF YOU'RE READING THIS, SPEAD THE WORD!!!!

Done. -- Chris 17:43, 6 April 2007 (EDT)

Ghost Jam, could you help me get started with the wiki??? if you would, the link is here Max2

I'd rather not get caught up with another wiki. I already edit on five (sysops on two) the way it is. -- Chris 22:18, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Busy

Are you busy Mr.Jam?F g

BUGS ARE NICE. -- Chris 22:18, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

First Sysop

Wow! I just noticed that you are the first ever sysop! Besides AgentSeeThroo who was demoted. A fan of Yoshi | Here

and Steve. Max2

Yeah, Steve was the first because he created the wiki. I was the next one, then AgentSeeThroo (who I haven't seen in some time). -- Chris 03:20, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Deletion

Mr. Ghost Jam? Could you delete This Trouble? Max2 (talk) If you would, thanks!

Seems to have already been deleted. -- Chris 15:23, 10 April 2007 (EDT)

Deletion of Image:Mushroombg.png

That image was used in the monobook styling sheet to apply a background all 'Shroom pages. Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:51, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

Why wasn't it linked? It was on the unused images list. If an image is going to be used like that but won't be linked, a note needs to be left in the images description. -- Chris 00:37, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

*checks image* K. -- Chris 00:41, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Fantendo

Fantendo is out!!!!!!! Contribute!!! ^Plumber

No. -- Chris 22:15, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Fine. That was so blunt, it's funny. ^Plumber

Hey its been a while that we havent seen each other.F g

Took a break. I'll be back to deleting things in a day or two. -- Chris 17:11, 10 May 2007 (EDT)

Comic

Hi Ghost Jam, I ust wanted to let you know that I'm making a sprite comic, I was wondering if you wanted to be in it as boo guy, also if you wanted to be Good or Evil. Thanks! Xzelion^ETC

Uh...leave me out of this. -- Chris 22:03, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Editthis

hello mr. Ghost Jam/Archive 1

im Paper Luigi DS formerly SPL and i wanted to invite you to the Users Wiki!

Master Crash

...Wow.

I'm sorry, but never assume an image is unused even if it says "No page links to this file". As you saw, this was a personal image for me. It's bound to be used somewhere in my User page or a sub-page. As it turns out, I was externally linking past and current revisions at User:Wayoshi/Comic. Thanks for messing that page up, I'm not sure what I'm going to do about it now. Wa _T^C_@^Y 22:31, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

By 'externally linking' you mean URL linked? The image didn't have a note/template telling me that it was being used so. If a file doesn't have the proper info, what am I to assume?

Fixing this shouldn't be a problem. If you still have the file, reupload it and change the URL link. -- Chris 22:41, 12 June 2007 (EDT)

Images

That's good, I had it another link anyway, and forgot to mark that image for deletion. ^{Plumber, So, no problem.}

Seriously. Thanks. I had forgoten that file anyway and had made it for Mr. M who know knows how to make comics (thanks to me) and didn't need that file anymore. I really had forgotten it existed... Click here to see the universe. SuperLuigi821 Oh you let the hat out of the bag, Big Top!

OMG I am so sorry! I did stuff to my page, and forgot to put the delete on them. Sorry! Full Metal Moogle

Request

Can you archive the Main page talk? ^Plumber 11:48, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Done, but not completely. The site keeps having errors, so I'll finish the job when things settle down. -- Chris 16:20, 16 July 2007 (EDT)

Someone else finished it. -- Chris 03:23, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Categorys

Why can I put fake ones?- Toadbert101.

Creates unused/invalid categories to appear on the lists. Furthermore, the current norm doesn't include user categories and any such attempts are killed on sight. -- Chris 03:45, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

oh.(Toadbert101|Give a yell) 12:07, 30 July 2007 (EDT)

Strange

The nonexistent template {{Coins}} was deleted at 7:23 EDT this evening by Sir Grodus (category made it obsolete), and had {{delete}} on it, and somehow the articles it was included in retained the effects of the delete template. Sounds like a glitch to me; anyways, fixed. Wa _T^C_@^Y 21:49, 7 September 2007 (EDT)

Good deal. Why was {{Coins}} deleted, anyway? -- Chris 01:00, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

The respective category apparently took care of the content of the template. Wa _T^C_@^Y 02:03, 8 September 2007 (EDT)

Greetings

Hi there! Iv'e heard alot about you. It's nice to meet you.~Lil ' Boo ...I'm sure my little brother would like to meet you too.

Yes, hi! -- Chris 16:00, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Proposal Archives

Thank you so much for your help! I wish my internet wasn't so inept. -- Son of Suns

No problem, just doing my job. I messed something up, though..... -- Chris 23:03, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Holy hell, those two little brackets where messing with the whole thing? >_< -- Chris 23:05, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

Yeah. Hahaha. While I'm on your talk page, I just want to say I appreciate your hard work here, and for staying at the wiki for so long. -- Son of Suns

Thank you, the appreciation is very much reciprocated. -- Chris 23:09, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

...

Hi I haven't seen you for awhile...F g

I've been off and on. -- Chris 20:53, 19 October 2007 (EDT)

Proposal Joke

Our proposals page is basically the center of our community, and I guess you were bored, but let's keep it serious, thank you. Wa _T^C_@^Y 20:22, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

Can do. I'm surprised it ran as long as it did. -- Chris 23:35, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

IRC Instructions

So this is the review of what I said in chat. Make sure to have Steve add you onto the #mariowiki access list. Then every time you come in:

1. Identify your name with /NickServ identify password
2. After NickServ confirms you've identified, type /ChanServ op #mariowiki Ghost_Jam, and ChanServ will op you.

If your IRC client can run a set of commands at start-up like ChatZilla does, this can be all be encoded so it is done for you before even pressing a key. Look into that. Wa _T^C_@^Y 21:14, 25 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks. And as a note to myself, the server is irc.darkmyst.org. -- Chris 15:45, 26 November 2007 (EST)

Wayoshi

Hey why do you urge me to calm down on Washi's talk page?F g

You were getting a little out of hand there. Don't want to see you suspended for messing with a sysops. -- Chris 20:46, 29 November 2007 (EST)

Okay okay I'll stop bugging wayoshi and if you want I'll shape up :) F g

Merry Christmas

And a happy new year! :) F g

Blocked

Hello Ghost Jam.

I'm logged into my 9 year old son's account (he supplied credentials). He's an avid Nintendo fan, and precocious computer user.

He's been reading the Super Mario Wiki for a long time. I encouraged him to get involved, couching it as the modern version of civic responsibility. After some nudging, he finally did.

He started out honestly trying to help, but then apparently slipped into vandalism. I know he did not intended it as such: he explained that he thought it was fun to add the pages, and that since they weren't linked, nobody would notice.

As for his other edits to pages, they were well intentioned but apparently not particularly helpful. I've told him that he should limit himself, for a while, to fixing typos and such, and he's OK with that and understands why it's important to keep the quality up.

When he told me he was blocked, I probed, and he told me he had added some pages that were bogus, and I explained to him why that is really bad behavior and that he should never do such things again. I've discussed his behavior with him, and he's promised reform.

Can you unblock him and give him another chance? He and I would both appreciate a second chance.

Thanks!

I believe you were the one we spoke with in chat a few days ago, yes?

Regardless, Pseudo-dino's suspension ended a little over two days ago (it was just a three day suspension). Cheers. -- Chris 14:52, 29 December 2007 (EST)

Question

I'm new to the Wiki, and I'm wondering how to get rid of the Welcome to the Super Mario Wiki box on my talk page. I want my talk page to look more like yours. From,
