I was pretty sure the whole point of proposals was so that the layman... I mean layuser... could have a part in the beaurocracy. It was sort of like, "If you care about the politics of the Wiki, you should watch the Proposals page," right? There's so much about how this Wiki works that I don't understand, though. I don't even know what Steve does aside from "being leader." But I know he must do a lot more than that or else this site would be on its back growing stuff by now. Maybe what we need to do to prevent this from ever happening again is have some sort of page describing all this. Not just a bunch of wild little pages saying what a "this" is and a "that" is, but like a total picture thing. Whoa... that was long. As per usual, nothing I said up there was meant to offend anyone. Please don't kill me. I'm sorry! {{User:Stumpers/sig}} | I was pretty sure the whole point of proposals was so that the layman... I mean layuser... could have a part in the beaurocracy.

Maybe he should just put a window over the box for the time being. In any case, there's a way he has to change things, so I feel the issue is best left between him and Porple right now. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} | |||

:::::Hey, don't worry about it Wayosh. I wanted real feedback, not just nicey nicey stuff. I'm really not sure how we can go about doing this anyway. What I would try to do is attack through the Nintendo Forums and try to build some kind of resistance (viva la revolution!) but I'm pretty sure all the fanboys would tell me just how busy Nintendo's web guys are (I swear, they better be doing something else besides what I know about...) or how it would spoil to much for a game like Galaxy or blah, blah, blah. Maybe I should check out the IGN message boards. Nintendo actually cares what the IGN editors think and the IGN editors look at those message boards. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 16:39, 13 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
::::::Never thought about that. Yeah, Nintendo might not want to do that very often. I guess they did this, as it is a Spin-Off so you technically don't get many Spoilers from it.

Recent while i was looking through the No categories page, there was only one; the [[Guard]] article. I clicked on it, but it had a category.

== What's Our Position on ''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''? == | |||
I was writing about ''Luigi's Mansion'' for the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] article and had difficulty deciding where to place the game: in its release order shortly after ''[[Super Circuit]]'' or at the end of the series? Many of us believe that at some point undiscovered, [[Mario]] kills [[Bowser]], who's body was possessed and reanimated by [[King Boo]] at the end of the game. This would place the game solidly at the end of the timeline. Others feel that the Bowser was really a [[False Bowser]], which would put the game right where it was released. | |||
I have a new idea. The chronology based on release date is like this: | |||
*''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' | |||
*''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' | |||
*''[[Luigi's Mansion]]''<br> | |||
Could this mean that Bowser was killed off or in a highly weakened state through an attack by the viruses in ''Dr. Mario 64''? Perhaps King Boo could have saved him in return for allowing him use of his body for the capture of Mario. Then, after the tournament, King Boo's plan went into effect and after taking over [[The Lab]], King Boo turned Bowser into a painting for future use? | |||
I'd like to know if this theory is good enough to be added to the articles or if it doesn't hold water. I haven't thought about this much, so any comments are welcome. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 01:45, 15 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
:Just say it was a False Bowser. No point in any of that other speculative content. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}} You have a lot of good ideas Stumpers. | |||
::I always liked to think of Luigi's Mansion happening sometime after the first Paper Mario. Having the combined energy of the Star Rod and the Power Platform being ripped from his body killed him (or near enough). -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]][[User:Ghost Jam|Chris]][[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 02:11, 15 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
:::That is true... it's not like he just fell from a balcony or something. The fall nearly killed Mario, too, but he was saved by the Star Spirits. The problem with that theory is that Bowser was alive and well in ''Mario Tennis'', ''Mario Party 3'', and ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''. Maybe the release date order really doesn't mean anything. Actually, that sounds like the best theory I've heard aside from the False Bowser one. I guess what I'll do is leave it like it is: the False Bowser theory and a side note about how this game may be at a different point in the series. Oh, and thanks, DP! *feels special :3* {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 08:47, 15 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
::::No problem ;) {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}} Go with your newest idea, list it as a False Bowser, but also state the other possibility. | |||
:::Nintendo has always given us continuity problems when it comes to Mario. Even for us, it's nearly impossible to accurately map out a timeline when the creators don't even have one. -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]][[User:Ghost Jam|Chris]][[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 19:27, 15 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
::::Oh, whoa... it's like all of my bones to pick with the continuity are right there in that sentence! Nice. Usually, it doesn't really matter with the later games when the events took place, as each game returns the world back to the basic norm established in ''Super Mario Bros.'' but... with ''LM'' they didn't use that formula... :( {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 01:33, 16 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
== Poll for Splitting F-Zero Grand Prix from Big Blue == | |||
As you may know, the F-Zero Grand Prix page was merged with the article for the [[Big Blue]], despite that the [[PipeProject:Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. Pipe Project]] states that the [[Underground Maze]] and F-Zero Grand Prix were deserving of their own articles, because they were seperate areas from Adventure Mode. | |||
Let the argument begin! | |||
===Split the Articles=== | |||
#[[User:Dodoman|Dodoman]] | |||
#{{User:Plumber/Pignature}} Per Dodoman | |||
#{{User:Lario/sig}} | |||
#{{User:Stumpers/sig}} One's a stage and one is a side-scrolling level. The fact that they're based on the same theme doesn't mean they're the same, especially if they're called two different things. EDIT: Also, Big Blue is the name of F-Zero's ship. The Grand Prix is completely differnet. It's not just two names for the same thing. | |||
#{{User:Pokemon DP/sig}} When you put it that way... | |||
#{{User:Cobold/sig}} - Per Stumpers. Though I think Big Blue is a planet. | |||
#{{User:Knife/sig}} 17:27, 16 August 2007 (EDT) The irony. | |||
#{{User:Paper Luigi DS/sig}} | |||
===Keep them Merged=== | |||
...Okay then. What say someone split them then? -[[User:Dodoman|Dodoman]] | |||
==Spam Red Links== | |||
When I was scrolling down the red links list I noticed the words "King Mario" and clicked on the pages it's linked to,and I've noticed that they are on people's previous talk pages (This was possibly "[[User:King Mario|King Mario]]").Should we rid of this?{{User:Lario/sig}} | |||
Sure, the most wanted page has a lot of red links that don't need articles. Feel free to remove some, especially User links.{{User:Knife/sig}} 17:29, 16 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
:But if you see a link to a video game or TV show, the writer may be trying to point out a cameo appearance of Mario. In those cases, a simple redirect to [[Game Sightings]] would rock. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 18:25, 16 August 2007 (EDT) | |||
