Stumpers Talk

Welcome to my talk page. If you wish to contact me, this is the best way. Every twenty headings, I'll archive, but feel free to revive old conversations if you feel an issue needs to be explored more. Or, if you want to drop me a line, that's great, too. I love mail like... well, it's always special.

Wario Land 4

None of the other Wario Land games are referred to as Warioland. Why change 4? Phoenix Rider

RE: *looks sheepish*

Lol. It took me forever to switch from [[User:]] to {{User:/sig}} to {{User|}}: curse you autopilot. Anyway, I don't mind switching your sig all the time, it makes me feel useful. Plus, I'm just anal about that sorta thing, and that's sheepish-ness worthy... Not that that makes much sense in its own right... Hmm... Anyway, see you around! - Walkazo 23:32, 18 August 2008 (EDT)

Handeling the 'other series' merging.

Hi Stumpers! Because the Garlic Man's proposal will be gone soon (or it might even be gone now, actually), we need a new place to discuss this before you make another proposal about it. It's already clear that we're going to be merging the minor articles, and not deleting them. I just think everyone needs to clear up what exactly should be affected by the merge first, though. Everyone seems fine with the playable 3rd party/SSB characters keeping their articles, but small cameos and stage elements should merge into the 'series pages'. I also think that everyone fine with merging the Items into the series pages, too. However I think we should get rid of the 'List of Trophies in SSBB' page and merge each trophy into their proper series page. Also, when do you plan on making the proposal? -Moonshine

"Mario Super Sluggers - Gals Supporters" topic

Hey, Stumpers! :) M. C. here; see about checking this new topic on my talk page when you have the chance! --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! 11:05, 5 September 2008 (EDT) User Page | Talk Page -- We're supporting the Mario series' gals full force on this game!

Merge

Y'know, It would make alot of sense to merge the articles you were talking about merging. Seriously, Dry Bowser can easily be redirected to a section on the Bowser Article. Shadow Mario doesn't need to be merged with Bowser Jr., but he needs to be put into an article about Mario's fakes and identity thieves. 30.pngR.O.B. 128User offline.gif

Well, why don't you put a notice on the page that says that that character has appeared in a game at the same time the other has.

So what if this wiki will have about 2000 less articles if all that stuff was merged. It would still be one of the most successful. I understand your logic though, which leads me to this question: Can I make a proposal? Get back to me on that as soon as possible. --R.O.B 128 22:06, 5 September 2008 (EDT)

Thanks. How does this sound:

Deletion/merging of the non Mario Series articles: These articles are not needed, at all. Seriously, you do know that there are wikis on series like Kirby and Star Fox.

Articles that are not needed:

  • Slippy Toad
  • Gordo
  • All of the SSB character's special moves and Final Smashes.
  • Arwing

Articles needed to be merged:

  • Sonic series characters
  • SSB series characters (Except for R.O.B. He's good)

The idea of giving information about another series is stupid.

That is my proposal. What do you think? --R.O.B 128 16:39, 7 September 2008 (EDT)

This wiki is very successful, but very selfish in terms of articles. You do know the purpose of this Mario based Wiki is to give info about Mario

No Sonic or other series character was ever in the Mario series; Who's the dolt who wrote that crap? As bueracrat of Kirby and Star Fox wikis, I find this disturbing. Just letting you know.

If I hadn't used the word stupid, you'd still think it would fail.--R.O.B 128 15:16, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

I think your proposal will work. I you have knowledge on the Star Fox, please join the wiki about it. --☆R.O.B 128☆ 19:50, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Guess what.

Guess who's a sysop at Kirby Wiki now. ;) Also, did you ever make that proposal concerning the merging of the Sonic & other series pages? -Moonshine

Are you talking to me, or this guy? ☆R.O.B 128☆ 16:50, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Why me?

Birdoshi is the one that lied. Why do you do this to me?

C'mon, I didn't mean what I said. Give me a break. I'll delete the whole argument on the Birdo Talk page now.--☆R.O.B 128☆ 19:56, 8 September 2008 (EDT)


Can user get in troble if they remove warnings? I remember seeing three warnings that Stoob gave to R.O.B 128 earlyer and I think ROB 128 erased them. GrapesGrapes Grapes

Thank God you showed up to stop it all; I tried to, (and obviously Grapes did too, kudos to her), but ROB128 wouldn't listen. That's why it's awesome you're a Sysop. — Stooben Rooben 21:07, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

R.O.B.: On this Wiki, what you type automatically is considered what you mean, so be careful, ok? You're not banned, so don't worry and just be more considerate in the future. Grapes: There's no policy that says that it's illegal, but regardless he now has an official warning from me, so I think the issue is settled. To everybody here: thanks for trying to resolve the problem amongst yourselves. When it comes to warnings the most effective in ending arguments are those that come from sysops - if you get one of us there sooner rather than later many harsh words and bad feelings can be averted. I hope that everyone can keep being fellow editors and no one feels hated on. Stumpers! 21:43, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Of course you're a good Sysop! Yeah, taking sides is hard...I generally don't do it unless I feel one user is being considerably more abusive than the other(s). I've done it on Userpedia, and it's not easy. College is awesome! How's it going for you? — Stooben Rooben 16:56, 9 September 2008 (EDT)
I just saw your message. I'm sorry you miss your home and video games. :( But, the dorm life must be cool, right? — Stooben Rooben 03:58, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
It sounds nice. :) The college I go to doesn't have dorms. :\ So you're going home this weekend? Awesome. :) Hope you enjoy your time home. — Stooben Rooben 21:51, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

Hello

I'm still getting the hang of this wiki and making new friends, so I figured why not try to be friends with you! Anyway, I also have a question while I'm talking to you. Right now I am opposing Bowser becoming a FA. Time Q has started a removal of oppose votes. Can I vote for removal of other oppose votes even if I'm opposing? The reason I want to do this is because if those unspecific votes are removed, people will focua on my oppose vote more (I think). Anyway, can I do this or is there a rule against it? WK

Okay, I have another question. From the games Super Mario Bros. up until Super Mario 64, should the Princess be called Toadstool or Peach in the section? I looked to see if there was a proposal about this, but I couldn't find one. Maybe I overlooked it, though. WK

RE: Mario & Luigi's Parents

Thanks for telling me about the developments; I'm glad things are moving forward with Canonicity and that I was of some assistance in the matter. - Walkazo 22:45, 16 September 2008 (EDT)

You didn't mention that before, but I'm grateful you did now. If you don't mind me saying, I think it's a bad idea. True, it will quell discussions over the varying laws of physics between things like Paper Mario and the more conventional genres, but even those are vastly differentiated. For example, Super Mario Bros. and Super Princess Peach look and feel nothing alike, even though they're both 2D Platformers; and if they're not considered part of the same genre, that just highlights the fact that many people are gonna get confused over the divisions. Not everyone has the patience (and/or common sense) to actually go and read the policy pages, after all. Plus, it goes against the "all games are created equal" motif I thought we adapted as of late, or is that still part of the discussions as well? I feel bad for being so adamant in my views (especially since you seem willing to bend over backwards developing ways everyone can read what they want in the way they want); but all-in-all, honesty is the best policy. - Walkazo 22:49, 17 September 2008 (EDT)
Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I still have some concerns, but I shall wait until seeing your mock-up before passing any more judgement. Talk to you later! - Walkazo 22:23, 18 September 2008 (EDT)

Re: Special Moves Merge

The idea was just one of many ideas I threw into the room to test out the reaction of the userbase. I know that several people didn't like the big focus on SSB on the wiki, but others are SSB fanboys, and I wanted to see who are more. I wanted to see how far I could go decreasing the focus. This level seems to get the biggest acceptance. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 14:38, 26 September 2008 (EDT)

Need help please help Iggykoopa hey how do you start a proposal?

Re: We need your input.

Hey Stumpers, thanks for letting me know. I feel kind of guilty now for not caring about the forum at all. :P Thanks for taking your time to tell me.

First off, I agree with all points made in the thread. I long since have pursued the word "canon" because it is based on nothing more than fan view. Games that are technically spin-off but have a notable story, like Mario Pinball Land, often created problems in the Biography/spin-off division. For one thing, if the section is labelled "Biography" for Mario, Yoshi's Island should come first. If it is labelled "Game Appearances", Donkey Kong should come first. I wouldn't want a "Biography" to start with Donkey Kong and later get to Yoshi's Island, thus going back in time. I agree with how the sources are intended to be sorted in point 4, just don't call it a biography. ;)

I agree on the outline you draw for the proposal. At least one opposer would have to provide serious reasons for supporting the system as it is currently. Other than that, I know that the proposal system has the sort of "flaw" which lets everybody go "per Mr. X" and don't provide a reason themselves. We shouldn't change that, but it points out that supporters without any reasoning would be the least of our problem.

Concerning your second addendum to the proposal, I would favour a little bar to chronologically browse the games. However, I don't see this working out with Mario Party 8 and Mario Strikers Charged Football concerning their different American and European release dates, conflicts might arouse there. Also, blatant ports such as Super Mario Advance would be included here, that would make an overview problematic. But what's a port and what a full remake, like Super Mario 64 DS? Adding it to the chronology bar would not make any difference for Bowser or Peach, but be very important for Yoshi, as he was changed from a cameo character to a protagonist. The status of such games should be cleared. The bar would take a lot of space on a page of a character who only appeared in 1 or 2 games. I can see this bar being used, but only when the conflict potential is worked against in the beginning. Otherwise, it wouldn't serve its purpose.

For all the rest, I fully agree with you and am waiting for the proposal to come! - Cobold (talk · contribs) 10:58, 1 October 2008 (EDT)

I didn't get what you are asking me in the last sentence. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 12:24, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

I'm fine with that. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 15:09, 2 October 2008 (EDT)

RE:SSB moves

Special Moves Merge Proposal

  • This was my first time dealing with a proposal, so I guess it was dumb of me to make article changes until the proposal was accepted.
    Also, about your question on if I moved the images, I did since it was only Lucario and Meta Knight that I worked on. I left the other articles alone.
    Anyway, next time, I'll remember to NOT do anything until a specific proposal is accepted. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 17:54, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Taking Credit

  • Sorry to tell you this, but you're the only member that can edit User:Stumpers/Test (no one else can edit it but you). If you have the chance however, just add the template below right next to the Lucario and Meta Knight sections for me.
    {{User:M&SG/sig}} RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 19:09, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
  • I should also mention that some articles are locked, so we're not able to edit or add ANYTHING to them. From what I've seen, the Mario article is protected from editing, so there's no way we can merge his special moves onto his main article unless it's an administrator that's doing the edits.
    Just wanted to remind you about that flaw on your mission to merge special moves. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 19:21, 3 October 2008 (EDT)

Proposal Assistance

  • Since your proposal is accepted, I'll help you on your work whenever possible. I did get punished for making a minor article a while back, but I've learned my lesson after that time. Hopefully, my assistance will help speed up your process of merging special moves. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 19:49, 3 October 2008 (EDT)
  • You're very welcome. Glad to be of assistance. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 18:55, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

All Special Moves Merged

  • I just want to let you know that pretty much all the special moves have been merged with the fighter articles now. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 13:35, 13 November 2008 (EST)
  • You're very welcome. Glad to be of assistance for you. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 17:15, 13 November 2008 (EST)

Unused Images Issue

  • I don't know if you're aware of this, but there's a reason why I removed the hidden boxes on Peach's gallery section of her article. If the images are hidden, then the Mario Wiki classifies them as being unused. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 21:58, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
  • To tell you the truth, I liked the idea of hiding the image galleries. However, when I found out that some of the hidden images were being shown on the Unused Images page, I had to make all those galleries 100% visible again. That way, the images wouldn't be classified as unused images. RedYoshiMK7Signature.png M&SG (talk) 22:40, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

Re: Template

Well, there appears to be some sort of glitch with the {{{align|}}}, seeing as that there is no <br clear=side> To separate the template from the actual text. Check the Solid Snake article again. I have all of the templates right-aligned. If you think that it's too asymmetrical, then I'll completely get rid of the template. — Stooben Rooben 21:35, 7 October 2008 (EDT)

Well, when the images are shrunk down, large tacky borders engulf it. :-\ Yeah, the white space is a bit pesky too. Perhaps it'd be best just to delete the template altogether. It was a good idea for when the articles were separate, but it's a little harder to utilize since they got merged. I'll start removing the template from the pages. :) — Stooben Rooben 23:17, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
Same here. When you think about it, it'd be like having multiple level-infoboxes in world articles; it just doesn't make sense. Hey, no problem; I like doing little edits. ;) — Stooben Rooben 00:55, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
You're edits are awesome. Really, the only massive expansions I've ever done was on Yoshi (series) and Donkey Kong Hockey; you do expansions on almost every article you edit! :D Kudos. — Stooben Rooben 01:06, 8 October 2008 (EDT)
Aye, Yoshi (series) is now featured. It makes it on the main page on November 1st. =3 That's probably the most effort I've ever put into an article. Ah, same here. I'm trying to take care of all of the NSMB world/level articles (Super-Yoshi's helping me), and rid all the articles of the Smashbox template. — Stooben Rooben 01:17, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
Thanks! I'd help with the MSS Cards...but I don't know anything about MSS. DX — Stooben Rooben 10:37, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
Templates are kind of fun actually. :o That's true. Sometimes working hard for your projects is a lot of fun. :) — Stooben Rooben 12:36, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
Agreed. It's always good to know that you've brought some sort of professionalism and/or improvement to the site. Templates can be that way sometimes. Like this one or this one. I was so happy when I figured out the crazy coding for making the release dates interchangeable (with some help from Cobold, of course). :) But then, sometimes it gets a little chaotic, like at the bottom of the Bowser article. <_< — Stooben Rooben 12:46, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Birdo Species

Birdo is at the least a yoshi subspeicies, but I am sure that I someware read her to be a yoshi. (In the origional game she looks just like yoshi) plus she has the same abilities as yoshi. Like humans, just because they look different, doesn't mean they are a different species. Reply on my talkpage.
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elliotcroft (talk).

Maybe they should be all a subspiecies of Dinosaurs, As they are definatly that. Elliotcroft 14:30, 9 October 2008 (EDT)

Reply to the "Princess Peach's Outfits" section

Hey, Stumpers! Yeah, I stopped on the Mario Hoops 3-on-3 one in regards to posting the "fact" about Peach's current "active sports outfit", because I know it didn't have to be mentioned anymore after that point. Besides, the "general details" about it are already on the main Princess Peach article anyway.

As for the "differences" on Peach's outfit in general, I assume you noticed it as well? --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 15:30, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Hola

Oh gawd, you won't believe how hard it was to get to this page (dang crappy computer. Thanks, Stoobz. :P). Anyway, I just wanted to drop by and say hi, since we haven't spoken in a while. How's life on the Wiki? I'm not exactly "up-to-speed" with a lot of what's going on. Stooby tells me you've been hard at work here, and we both agree that you are a great choice for 'Crat. :D Well, hope this doesn't seem too "n00by"; I just wanted to say hi. See ya around. My Bloody Valentine

Aw, thanks. Glad SOMEONE missed me. I'm sorta retired, but, I can't help but come here every now and then. And dropping a message on a good friend's talk page doesn't hurt. :P Yeah, it was a coding problem with Stooby's sig that gave my computer an error. XP Lol, you continue to show your pwnfullness, Stumpers. :P Yeah, I saw that. At first, I was a bit upset that all those articles were to be merged, but then I thought, "oh well, my hard work on those articles isn't lost", since all the content was in-tact. Lol, everyone tried to beat me to the punch; You'd have to get up pretty early in the morning to beat me when it comes to SSB. :P Holy crap, it did? Looks like your persistance finally won the day; You are the KING OF CANONICITY! :O Nintendo has always been known to leave plot holes that are never explained; Nothing pieces together perfectly, in my opinion. The Chronology of the Mario series makes no sense... At least the Sonic series links together in SOME way. :/ Hmmmm... Splitting the articles into different sections about different kinds of media (that's how I understood it. :P)? That sounds good; I never liked the idea of merging the cartoons with the video games. Just doesn't seem right. :/ Don't get your hopes up, pal; I'm not going to take part in a lot of this stuff. I'm still "retired", ya know. :O My Bloody Valentine Also, you appear in my super-hero Wiki comic Master Wikians, with the ability of Elasticity. Just noting that cuz I'm narcissistic. :P

I COULD come back completely, problem is I WON'T. Laziness, lack of motivation, bias, bad memories, stuff like that. Yeah, canon is always a tricky thing. I mean, for Mario, at least; Nintendo sure does know how to mess up a timeline, lol. :P I hope the whole format comes out good; I know you, and you never do anything half-assed. :O Wait, how did you find them? Did you find the Wikia Userpedia? :O Link, just for the heck of it. :P You aren't in the comic JUST YET, but you will be. B) My Bloody Valentine I said it before, and I'll say it again; Stumpers for Bureaucrat! Time Q for 'Crat as well! =D

Sorry for responding this late; The aforementioned laziness and whatnot. -_q I will; So many cool Users are on the MarioWiki. :O Cool, thanks. I know, that really sucks. But seems that my article writing skills have become rather rusty... All the articles I make now are low-quality and stupid-sounding. I've tried to rewrite your article, but it always come out stupid, so I never save it. :( Lol, yeah, should've mentioned that little detail. Cameo appearances FTW! :P You get a third cameo in Chapter 6 (yes, I've made a bit of it), but I made those scenes before deciding to add you to the main cast. :P You almost get killed in your PROPER debut, but you're saved in time. :O Have I ever been wrong? *looks back to when I said I'd never retire from the MarioWiki* o_o' I still remember your edits from way back in the day; You never did anything half-assed, dude. You put everything into the articles you wrote, yo. You and Time Q would make great 'Crats. ;) My Bloody Valentine

That metaphor made me laugh; Not because it was lame, but because it just sounded funny and was very unique. We all retire eventually; It's inevitable. We may return eventually, maybe for a few days, maybe for a few months, maybe for just a few minutes, but we'll always retire sooner or later. Hey, you're definitely 'Crat material, dude. Polite, helpful, active, edits a lot, wise and knowledgable, etc. Besides, you'd be a much better 'Crat than RAP or Steve. Nah, I'm a loser, Stumpy. So why don't you kill me? :P Yeah, I dunno when I'll properly debut you... Gotta plan that out. XO Heh, nice article; Better than anything I wrote. The pic is cool; Nice image caption, but I don't think humorous image captions are allowed... Then again, both our old 'Crats are either retired or don't give a damn anymore, so we can change the rules! :D I don't remember you appearing in any other comic... Well, I think you appeared in Troll Tragedies, by Plumber... But I'm not sure if he remade the article on Userpedia yet. :/ I won't get rid of the image; It's epic. :P My Bloody Valentine CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER! THRILLER NIGHT! :O

RAP tried to make a hand-drawn comic; It was good style but, GAWD, the story was s***. Likewise, Lil'Boo made a sprite comic about average everyday situations, but that sucked ass as well. If you're going to make a gentle story about normal situations, you better have a damn good plot set out. Not many people on the Wiki like that kind of comic genre... Everyone's about action and doomsday stories. :/ Your work here pwns, dude. Never think otherwise... Unless you go inactive. :P Thanks; I'll put a lot of thought into your role. ;) My Bloody Valentine

References

Heyo, Stumpers. I had an idea that might be able to help with moving 'sightings' to 'references'. I was thinking of making a page called "MarioWiki:References". This page would contain information and rules about what does and doesn't qualify as a 'reference'. For example:

If one were to see any character, object, or place from the Mario series in a game outside of the Mario series, it would be considered a reference. As an example, if Yoshi was seen in a Zelda game, that would constitute a reference. However, certain restrictions do apply to how far outside the Mario series a reference goes. For example, if a Nintendo GameCube appeared in a game, it would not constitute a reference. Mario subjects featured in a Super Smash Bros. game are not considered references, for SSB games are within the reach of the Mario series. However, if Samus were to appear in a game outside of the Mario series, it would not constitute a reference, for Samus is originally from the Metroid series.

It would have more info than that of course, but I just gave you a rough example so I could get your opinion on the matter. Thanks!

Oh, also, excellent job setting the new proposal up. ;) — Stooben Rooben 20:45, 27 October 2008 (EDT)

Thanks! I wasn't sure if the page needed more clarification or not, so that's why I came to you. :D — Stooben Rooben 16:02, 28 October 2008 (EDT)


Funny, I was thinking that same thing. o_0 Though, I have yet to actually come up with any ideas, except for the fact that the Mario series takes a large part in M&S, SSB, and Street DS (being playable and all). — Stooben Rooben

Hi! how do i upload a pic to my userpage?

The pic is 1/2 mario related because it has a non mario character in it. I'll make it on MS Paint with Mario and the lovely teacher Lupita n_n Mario loves Teacher Lupita 18:44, 29 October 2008 (EDT)

When I See Your Name, I Think of Trees

I'm serious - I think of tree stumps when I see "Stumpers"! I'm curious to know the origin of your name, if you'd like to share.

Yeah, if Halloween existed here, I wouldn't need a costume - I'm scary enough already.

Aha - I knew there was a reason you decided to talk to me: Well, I guess I had that B-word there because unlike the F- and S-words (among others), I didn't think it was considered offensive enough to need to be censored. But since you say so - I guess I'll censor that. But I hear that B word said all the time everywhere as though it's not rude at all. o_0

LOL, I like cats.

BTW, what do you think made you become a Sysop?

th_DimentioSigLeft.png Dom »» McTalk Umm... is there anything else I need to change on my page? th_SMKDimentiobyStooben.png

Can I Use German Swear-Words...

Just kidding. I learn German at school.

Oh crop - I haven't censored that word on my User page - whoops. I'll do that when I get a chance. Is there anything else on my User page that is inappropriate? Do User pages affect the chance of becoming a Sysop?

Stumpers is a good name, especially compared to a lot of the pathetic names I've seen here. Won't mention them in case any of them read this.


1. I wish I could be more active, but it's impossible. I try to come on whenever possible. 2. OK - I often get distracted by the huge number of messages on my talk page, annoyingly. 3. I have a lot of Proposal involvement. I once made a Proposal about Brawl and it was successful! 4. I'll try to remain calm. 5. "(talk pages... I also should note edit summaries here)." - does that mean I need to work on these areas? 6. I've never directly asked that. I once asked RAP whether he thought I had a chance of ever being one - but that was ages ago. Of course I would secretly like to be one, and would not abuse the associated powers such as deleting stuff.

You'll think of me? Wowee.

I want to see this Secret Sysop forum, now! - Just kidding.

th_DimentioSigLeft.png Dom »» McTalk Nice comments about me? I doubt it. Oh, and you missed one of my Talk Page rules. th_SMKDimentiobyStooben.png


Well, my 'real' (non-virtual) life is already ruined in many ways, so it's too late. Unless something happens with... something, but that will require a huge amount of courage from me, something I do not have at all. Wait - are you saying you've ruined your real-life since becoming a Sysop? I hope not.

Yes, time is a curse. Time is evil. There is never enough, or always too much.

Funnily enough, my User name is simply my shortened real name, by which I am known by everyone at my school and everywhere. So yeah - I assume you can guess my full real-name. It's a crap name which I hate. I'd rather be called 'Dimentio'! What!? I'm serious.

I would've had a more creative name, but I kind of joined randomly back on February the 18th this year when I had something I simply had to add to the Flopside page (which remains there), and I had only just discovered the Login/Create Account button. I discovered the Wiki itself several months earlier and started reading everything.

th_DimentioSigLeft.png Dom »» McTalk Have you seen my weekly images? th_SMKDimentiobyStooben.png

I finally remembered to change the 2 instances of that word on my User page.

Fake News

Heya, Stumpers. Since 3D retired from the Fake News, I'm curious: would you like to do the Travel Guide again? I need around 4 users to join, and I knew you had experience. :) — Stooben Rooben 18:47, 13 November 2008 (EST)

Awesome, thanks! Yeah, I understand if they're short. I had to drop the obituaries since I was taking over as head of the team. College is starting to strain on my time a little more now. — Stooben Rooben 04:47, 15 November 2008 (EST)

I would like to request the removal of your opposal to the Doopliss FA as I got the best info I could on the Super Mario-Kun Section. Luigibros2
