Vandals
Use this section to list vandals that need discipline. Please add them below and sign ( ~ ) your comments. Include a legitimate reason why they need banning. Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you can get them banned. Users and IPs that are taken care of will be crossed out like so.

NOTE: Please do not list anonymous IPs if there were only a few minor offenses. If there are major offenses (blanking pages, personal attacks, derogatory/offensive words, inserting loads of gibberish, etc.) then please list the vandals, even if they've only done it once. For registered accounts, list them if their only contributions were vandalism. In this case, it doesn't matter how many times nor how bad the vandalism has been. A vandal account is a vandal account and must be shut down immediately.

Example1: User "Vandal123" made a joke page titled "TITLE HERE". FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC) Example2: IP 12.345.678 blanked six smasher pages, all members of the same crew. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 01:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

LOLZ XD Anyway, I talked to a user named Majorabrawl about what he did to a talk page. He said "F*ck this page". I told him to kool off b4 he gets banned or gets a warning. --Blue Ninjakoopa (talk) 02:13, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Got it. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 02:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete tags PART 2
I only tagged them because I thought they ought to be deleted. I provided justification. I am also familiar with the policy. Most of the articles I suggested for deletion fell under category of 'Trivial and does not contribute much to the Smash Bros community.' If you have a disagreement, that's fine. They don't need to be deleted; I really don't care. I just thought they ought to have been. I understand I tagged a good many pages, but just because I tagged many pages doesn't make my reason for doing so invalid; they could all have deserved it. On what account were they not deleted? Semicolon (talk) 21:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Stuff like smasher pages are fine, even if they are stubs or orphaned. They're still valid and people may still go back to edit them. Really, deletions are a last resort, and done only if nothing can be done to fix or improve them. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 07:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Understood, but a 1-line smasher page that hasn't been edited in over a year adds nothing to the Wiki. At that point it's pretty clear that nothing is going to be done with it, that the smasher of concern is not well known, and so it is just taking up space. Surely you agree something should be done with it under those conditions? It is my opinion that deletion is the most appropriate action. Have you a better suggestion? Semicolon (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I know they're not helping, but they're not really hurting, either. I guess if space starts to become an issue, the orphaned pages of unknown people can go up for deletion. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 09:43, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Where's my welcome?
I did improve several articles I find (only because I played SSBB at the GameStop store), but are there any admins in here? What happened to my welcome intro? MetaCracken (talk) 22:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's an odd way of saying hi. Welcomes can come from anyone, aren't mandatory, and show up if a user sees a new person and decides to welcome them. Instead of demanding a welcome, why not go and chat in the forums and make friends? FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 07:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC) :lol i don;t nknow where to put this but thz. ps make a FAQ for noobs like me ;)--Tarrant1400 (talk) 21:39, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

This time I mean it...
Look, I'm sorry. I'm sure by now you think of me as the lowest most disgusting trash in the world, but I'm sorry. I mean it this time; I'm not going to turn around and flame at any other user for as long as I am on this wiki.

You along with the other SysOps do your jobs very well and I know you have no time to deal with foolish children. As I am apologizing to you, I will do the same to other users that I flamed at, excluding a certain user named Ike.

The reason for my out-of-control behavior is because my Wii was taken from me, and I did nothing wrong. Hearing you say damned (excuse my language) made me think that you thought you were better than others, but you were only expressing your frustration towards the users that don't really know any better.

I want you to delete the parts of my talk page that have any profanity and the next time you see those words from me is when I'm joking around. I've already E-mailed an apology to randall, but that does not mean that I have given into him. I have my dignity.

I wrote this by logging out and using my IP address (I'm in Alabama now) so don't think that this is fraud.

--Blue Ninjakoopa 04:11, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * It's nice that you apologized, but it's hard to undo the damage that has happened. I don't know, there might be a chance you could work something out with Randal, but I can't really do anything about it. Just remember to think before you act, as it'll help prevent a lot of problems that don't need to happen. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 18:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Trophy
OK, the event is on. We're going to need the trophy. Is there a better way to contact you so we don't have to do business in a public space? Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 04:15, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * E-mail works. Silverdragon706@yahoo.com FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 08:22, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

OK
Yes my leige. I won't make that mistake again. --Blue Ninjakoopa (talk) 10:25, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Warning
I'm not warning you, I'm adhering one. Can I recreate the Research Facility page? --Blue Ninjakoopa (talk) 00:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know, use your own judgement. If it's important, make it. If it's pretty meaningless, then don't. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 09:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

What time do you wake up in the mornin'? I was sittin' around all night wit notin' to do, lassie. --Blue Ninjakoopa (talk) 15:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey!
I was using that Dweevil picture you deleted!

I guess I'll re-upload it...Hmph.  CAFINATOR    Gentlemen...  05:25, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No. It's not relevant to SSB. Go ahead and link it from somewhere else, but the images here are supposed to be for illustration purposes, not for your personal image hosting. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 09:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Besides, it had no copyright status. It probably would have been deleted eventually anyway.Smorekingxg456 (talk) 13:33, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Craq walk
Umm.. sorry to annoy you about this AGAIN but here's the CRAQ WALK Y46264Y (talk) 04:43, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's wavelanding. Expand on that article instead. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 09:45, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So if I put that on wavelanding and say its wavelanding in brawl then it would work.Y46264Y (talk) 23:59, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you can add a section (if there isn't one already) about wavelanding in Brawl. However, since it already has a name, the "craq walk" doesn't belong there. It's still a personal nickname, so unless it gains popularity, it's still just "wavelanding". FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 19:44, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * but I can still put that vid on there right?-Y462 - 17:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * If there isn't already a video on wavelanding in Brawl, yes. Although you need to use proper terms and note that "craq walk" is just a nickname, at least for now. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 02:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

WTH!
this is really starting to get annoying, I was told i can do as i want on my user page, and if i want to how of my drawings i will have my drawings god damn it. It's a User page! you know. ABOUT ME! - 64%
 * (Man I feel like a jerk). Well, we do have rules here.  I'm pretty sure you're only supposed to have one personal picture uploaded.  Cheezperson (talk) 05:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I BEAT THE SYSTEM
In other words, I managed to use a photo from Piklopedia on my page. Nothing special. But, I'll need to figure out how I can center these photos as well...well, if I can, anyways.  CAFINATOR    Gentlemen...  08:23, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * How do you conclude that it's a good idea to walk on to a sysop's page and say "hey, I just figured out a loophole so I can keep breaking the rules! Here, let me show you and link you directly to my violation!"? Please, I beg of you, write an article or something. -- RJM Talk 16:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, so I had the right idea all along? Great! Thanks.  CAFINATOR    Gentlemen...  22:39, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by "personal images"? Tritem (talk) 14:10, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Pictures that aren't used for illustration purposes on articles. Basically, random stuff like pics for fan characters, things you think are funny, etc. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 05:56, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Principle vs. Practicum
I wouldn't allow off-site image-hosting if I were you. The issue is not bandwidth, the issue is having a plethora of more crap on the wiki and more crap on the talk pages, because if we allow it on a user page, you're damn right they'll be crying to put their images on user talk pages too and the snowball will keep on rolling. -- RJM Talk 00:27, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think one or two on a userpage is fine. It's not going to "snowball" unless we leave everything unchecked for a long time. Don't be so strict about everything. "Firm but loving", Randall. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 02:10, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Randall was a little too firm, I'm banned right now 'cause I told a joke to him, and all of a sudden, I'm banned for three months because I was abusing other people...? I don't get it. All of done with other people as help when asked, and discuss when discussion begins. Oh, and...uhh...joke when people start turning playful. Eh. I'd mind less if I wasn't banned for 1/4 of a year.  CAFINATOR    Gentlemen...  03:49, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Respost
I created a portuguese version of the Smash WIki he is in construuction: pt.super-smash-bros

Simple question
Are we allowed personal images or not? Please respond on my talk page. --Blue Ninjakoopa (talk) 19:14, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope. -- RJM Talk 00:22, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? I thought we were allowed one.  Cheezperson (talk) 00:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought somebody said if they were in smasherbeta, you could. am i wrong?Smorekingxg456 (talk) 22:11, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * A real photograph of the smasher is allowed in smasherbeta, but no banners. The same applies to crew articles. -- RJM Talk 01:12, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

status change
can you give me rollback status? KP317 (talk) 21:45, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Rita isn't a bureau, so she wouldn't be able to. Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 23:43, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

FYI
There's no rule against removing warnings (or anything else, for that matter) from one's own talk page. If someone does so it just means you can assume they've read it; if you need to remember that some user got a warning somehow, use the history. -- Kirby King 19:15, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? I was told that removing warnings is off-limits, especially if it was for vandalism. I guess someone heard wrong as well. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I've seen a number of people mention it. But there's no such rule here, and I know that Wikipedia allows you to flat out empty your talk page if you like (because, again, everything is stored in the history). -- Kirby King 22:07, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Point. I always figured it was like the person trying to hide their warnings, though. I guess I'll leave it alone next time. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The only problem I have is when people remove the warnings right away... Clarinet Hawk (talk · contributions) 22:25, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Merging
I would have merged the page myself, but I don't know how. I also don't know how to make change a page to a redirect.  Baltro ( talk ) 21:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Simply replace the info in the page with " #REDIRECT Article name here ". Make sure the capitalization of the article works, or else you'll get a broken redirect or a double-redirect. Also, if in doubt, preview first! FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 22:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Stickers
I created a page that has all the stickers, though it looks a little messed up. I just copied them from the Dojo. User:Smorekingxg456/stickers is the page. "SmoreKing - Bow down to the king. ~ Now what have you done?  22:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sticker has them all already, I do believe. --Shadowcrest  22:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OH, ok. "SmoreKing - Bow down to the king. ~ Now what have you done?  22:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Cafinator
I say his ban be shortened to a week. It's only fair. He just likes to joke and if you guys don't have a sense of humor than just try ignoring the joke.  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 10:30, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I wasn't the one who banned him, so I can't really do much. I already tried reasoning, and at least it's shortened his ban. Better quit while you're ahead. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 03:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about that. This wiki is the only one I have ever cursed on. I have a question though: Why aren't you a bueracrat yet? You're top featured user and you've never done anything to abuse your power. Not only should you be an admin, but Kperfekt, Zmario, GalaxiaD and Oxico should at least be SysOps. They've never done anything wrong, but if you tink that they are still bad, I'll explain:

Kperfekt: He no longer insults RJM and had enough decency to call him to his proboards and come to an agreement. He's popular and people like his flash games. He's been nothing but good for the community. He also knows how to be a good admin (as founder of 4 wikis)

Zmario: We haven't heard from him, but he doesn't really see the purpose of making fun of RJM anymore. Plus he's helped out alot.

GalaxiaD: He never really flamed at anyone... ever! He's a good soul and has decided to drop his conflict with RJM. He's also created quite afew pages and has stopped vandalism.

Oxico: He's in the featured users bar (# 6). He's never flamed at anyone and is a very good person. He's also done alot for the community.

Me: Uhhhh... actually I plan on making moar help when I'm done with the Kirby, and DK wikis. I'm not gonna ask for power yet (although that would be awesome) because I'm a bueracrat on three wikis already.

As for Caffy, we still talk on the Kirby Wiki.  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 10:01, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * When people get banned, it's usually for a reason. I don't know, so I'm not going to get into it. As for bureaucracy, I just don't have the time for it. In case you haven't noticed, my visits to the site have been rather sporadic. I just have other stuff to deal with and think others with more time would be a better candidate. FyreNWater - (Talk • Contributions ) 10:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oxico is the only one I feel is a legitimate possibility as an administrator. I won't go into the others. --Sky (t · c · w) 17:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * (talking to Sky) KP and Zmario have scarred their chances very badly, but I (as well as others) think that GXD should be an admin just as much as O2 should.  Blue Ninjakoopa Talk to me 18:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * ill say the order of us should go like this: wacky (jtm) & oxico, me & gxd, and THEN zmario. zmario doesnt even come here alot to much anymorez. KP317 (talk) 18:58, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
