Attention!

As an avid SmashWikidian, I dislike fragmented discussions. If you leave a comment for me, I will most likely respond to it in here, in this same page, on my talk page, as an effort to keep the entire conversation in one place. By the same token, if I leave a comment on your talk page, please feel free to respond to it there, on your talk page. Remember, we can use our watchlist to keep track of when responses are made. At the same time, feel free to send an alert to me on this page about a comment you have left elsewhere.

Thank you!

Thanks.

 * You're very welcome. I'm trying to do a general cleanup of the various Smasher pages since they tend to be the most lacking in overall quality. :^)

Hey thanks Randall =] We still need to do Stevo and Mike D:

--Janitor 8:45, April 30, 2007 (GMT)
 * In time, in time. And they should be listed under Steve and Mike, as per the CCSC smasher profiles they filled out. -- Randall00 Talk 19:23, April 30, 2007 (GMT)

By the way Randall, did you get my CCSC smasher profile? i believe i filled it out. =]

Sandbox
You have two user sandboxes, one at user:Randall00/Sandbox, and one at user:Randall00/sandbox. Just wanted to tell you. 19:30, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
 * Yeppers, more cleanup that requires administrative power, alas. -- Randall00 19:34, February 23, 2007 (GMT)

Wow.
How did you found out all that information on AngelCX? Is it simply because you checked out the TSA thread?

Anyway, it's pretty hot and amazing what you did there. Good stuff. --WarriorofZarona 15:56, April 5, 2007 (GMT)


 * Haha, thanks WoZ, I'm glad somebody notices the phantom poking around and studying that I do of other regional smash communities! I have a lot of admiration for The Smash Affiliates and the way you guys do things and I try and offer the same sort of philosophy at my own bi-weeklies. As to the stuff on AngelCX, I found most of the information just by viewing his posts. "Find all threads started by AngelCX" can take you pretty far when dealing with tournament directors and even the very roots of many reputable smashers can be dug up in the archived topics from the days of SWF's inception.


 * Nevertheless, the article isn't up to my own standards quite yet, as I was unable to easily track down his first name and age. :) -- Randall00 Talk 00:12, April 6, 2007 (GMT)

Template:ccsc
Hey it's Vic, for the Recurring Events in the CCSC thing you have on your page, you forgot to put CAST =(


 * Oo, good catch; fixed now, thank you! -- Randall00 Talk 18:32, April 18, 2007 (GMT)

Sig
Perhaps you wanted this?
 * Randall00 

The tags must be inside the caption, and there should be a cross in front of the numbers. 19:41, April 23, 2007 (GMT)

Circuit Stuff
Hey I don't really know how to use this, but if you'd like to talk about the Circuit stuff, feel free to PM me on Smashboards. I'd love to work with you on it. KishPrime 15:13, April 24, 2007 (GMT)


 * I'll definitely send you a message in due time. My Circuit-related work just hit a rather large hurdle, though, so it might be a little while. Thankfully, I don't think the smash community is going anywhere. -- Randall00 Talk 17:06, April 24, 2007 (GMT)

Picture
Excuse me,but i wanted to know why you have removed my picture on my Article.Is it not allowed?

Or is it forbidden to have a picture without showing yourself?

thanks Super Mari0 13:28, May 4, 2007 (GMT)

I know im not randal but I'll tell you the answer. Its a policy on Smash wiki: Smashwiki is not the place for smasher and crew banners and other advertising images.

ToXn 15:00, May 4, 2007 (GMT)


 * Yes sir, these articles are not personality profiles and regardless of how flashy the banner is, it is unencyclopedic to include it unless it happens to have a particular impact on the smash community and its history in some way. In the same respect, articles should be focused on the facts in the text portion as well without diverting too much into inside jokes and useless trivia. -- Randall00 Talk 23:09, May 4, 2007 (GMT)


 * Thers one page cybr has tons of useless triva, should i edit it? I ask because if I do something to that page regarded as "vandalism", I will be banned due to my stupidness earlier on. ToXn 16:49, May 5, 2007 (GMT)


 * Well you just have to be smart about it. Think about it as an encyclopedia articles comprised of facts. Yes, you should be bold and edit articles that you think need editing, just make sure that they follow the standard format. If you're dealing with encyclopedic information, it is never vandalism. A lot of these articles are pretty bare right now so if the information is useless, it doesn't necessarily need to be removed so long as it's true to some extent, but if the article already has a fair amount of content (Like chestterr01), it doesn't need to list all of his four-letter nicknames in point form. Ideally, we want all the articles to have a fair amount of real content, but as with cybr and all of The Slashers, really, I question whether they should exist in the first place. Realistically, a smasher who just plays at home and happens to have the internet shouldn't have a SmashWiki article just because he "hopes to attend a tournament one day." But since we can't stop the inappropriate ones from being created without a lot of headaches and administrative power, we have to at least make them as good as they can be. -- Randall00 Talk 16:16, May 6, 2007 (GMT)


 * Well I edited it anyways. And your right about the whole articles thing the guy does not even play smash anymore yet he insists on still having an article. I know about 6 other pages that should be deleted and if I actually thought about it I could think of 10 more. IS there anyway like wikipedia to recommend an article for deletion?


 * Well there's no policy in place at the moment. The problem is that it is an anti-communal sort of thing to say to go around telling people that they can't make their own articles. You can't really place a criteria on it to decide what's valid and what isn't. It might just make a lot of people angry, I don't know. Incidentally, we also now have articles like Knuckles that are turning into personality profiles....egh. -- Randall00 Talk 16:46, May 6, 2007 (GMT)

I've seen some articles with banners on them mainly http://www.smashwiki.com/wiki/Super_Smash_Mutants and the members of the crew have pictures (not of them) on thier smasher pages too. Is this considered unencyclopedic? --Insane-Contrast 23:53, May 18, 2007 (GMT)


 * Yep, those are the ones that should be removed. -- Randall00 Talk 23:27, May 20, 2007 (GMT)

Crew-Logo
Why musnt we have a crew-logo and NAS can get one? --Tham 15:31, May 22, 2007 (GMT)


 * Nobody is allowed to have a crew logo, unless of course it is actually pertinent to the encyclopedic documentation of the smash community. But that's extremely unlikely. -- Randall00 Talk 21:24, May 22, 2007 (GMT)

DoctorMarioBoy
hold on...so what exactly are you supposed to put in the alias section of the smasherbeta? For Ring Master 1337, i put "DoctorMarioBoy" because that was his smashboards account. I'm guessing i'm mistaken? --Janitor 19:38, May 26, 2007 (GMT)


 * SmashWiki:Smasher Project <- Guessing is problematic that way, yeah...besides, I'm fairly sure it was "Dr.Marioboy" anyway. Either way, I've certainly never heard of anyone by that name and if he's a significant smasher in the CCSC, odds are I'd probably know about it. -- Randall00 Talk 19:17, May 27, 2007 (GMT)
