Editing User talk:GuntherBayBeee

==Disruptive edits==
Hi, sorry for the disruptive editing, but I disagree with the fact that I see that despite being a hybrid, the Nintendo Switch is actually a home console. What should I do before I can make a major change on the video game system articles and templates? {{User:Teh Other/sig}}
:I'm not an admin or patroller myself, but the best thing to do would be to talk out the edit with whoever reverted it, preferably on the talk pages of the articles that were edited. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 02:19, July 22, 2022 (EDT)

== Minor edits ==

When making small edits like fixing links, make sure you [[Help:Editing#Minor edits|mark them as "minor"]] by clicking the "This is a minor edit" checkbox above the "Save changes" button. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 22:51, July 22, 2022 (EDT)

== Ice ==

Hi, regarding the "[[Ice]]" obstacle article you created, where did you get its name from? Just curious. {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 22:56, July 22, 2022 (EDT)
:Hi, I made that name up, so I put {{tem|conjecture}} on top of that article. {{User:Teh Other/sig}}

== (Friendly) reminder ==

{{reminder|2=making major changes without prior discussion}}
If you wish to see [[Red Blargg]] merged with [[Blargg]], please bring up the subject on either talk page first. Considering their different appearances and different names (in English and Japanese), some users may be apprehensive to the idea of merging them (not to mention that [[Spike Bass]] and [[Porcupuffer]] remain split despite having identical behaviors throughout the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games anyways). Thanks! {{User:Archivist Toadette/sig}} 00:52, July 31, 2022 (EDT)
:Okay. I'll make a proposal. {{User:Teh Other/sig}}

== Super Mario Land 2 names ==

I disagree with these rename templates because the way those "names" are used in the sources are more as generic terms rather than proper names. If that is the case, sticking with the other language name is still preferable. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:10, August 3, 2022 (EDT)

See [[Talk:Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins#Decide if unlocalized Super Mario Land 2 enemies should use Japanese or generic names|this proposal]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:15, August 4, 2022 (EDT)

== Proposal Formatting ==

Just a heads up that in your proposal [[MarioWiki:Proposals#Change_"NS"_to_"Switch"|here]], it is supposed to end at August 26, 2022, 23:59 GMT, not 19:51 GMT. See Rule 3 of the proposal rules for more information. [[User:Mari0fan100|Mari0fan100]] ([[User talk:Mari0fan100|talk]]) 17:54, August 22, 2022 (EDT)

Again, make sure you follow the correct proposal procedure. Deadlines should always be before midnight, and remember to tag the proposal with {{tem|TPP}} and link it in [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Lists]], otherwise users won't see it easily. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:53, December 17, 2022 (EST)

Please remember to list your TPPs on [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Lists]]. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 09:42, July 29, 2023 (EDT)

==Organization of the Yoshi franchise==
Hello, it appears that you have been reorganizing ''Yoshi'' franchise information into very specific subheaders which has been excessive. When dealing with subseries such as ''Yoshi'', headers should simply label the entire franchise, such as how [[Banana]] is handled regarding the Donkey Kong series; this also applies to Wario as well. In addition, if individual appearances are similar such as [[Smiley Flower]], they should be considered into a single Yoshi's Island series section rather than cover each individual entry in a header. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 16:39, August 23, 2022 (EDT)

== New Super Mario Bros. 2 parallel world ==

Where exactly are you getting at with this? Unless there is some kind of official statement with this, please stop putting that back. Regardless, New Super Mario Bros. is the kind of series where that sort of thing does not matter one bit. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:11, August 24, 2022 (EDT)

I would suggest taking a good look at [[MarioWiki:Canonicity]]. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 06:34, August 25, 2022 (EDT)

== Your uploads ==

You don't have to reupload an image to change its filename, just move it like you would any other page. However, I'd also point out that [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/59#Change_"NS"_to_"Switch"|the proposal you're citing for the moves]] didn't actually pass. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 22:30, September 10, 2022 (EDT)

After you move a file, you need to edit the articles that link to it and change the old file name to the new file name. There are still articles that link to the old file names (they're listed on [[Special:WhatLinksHere]], which you click on under "tools" on the left navigation bar while on the old file name's page). After all the links for a file have been updated, mark the old file name for deletion with {{tem|delete}}. I'm not sure why you're moving these anyway if there was no passed proposal that decided this. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:24, September 12, 2022 (EDT)

==Warning==
{{warning}}

As repeatedly pointed out on your [[Talk:Yoshi (species)#Merging this with Yoshi|recent TPP]], you simply copy-pasted another user's [[Talk:Birdo (species)#Merging this with Birdo|earlier proposal for the Birdo page]], merely swapping out mentions of "Birdo" with "Yoshi". Not only does this severely muddle up the point being made as several of the arguments original brought up are blatantly not applicable to the case being discussed, this, is to be truthful, plagiarism. You took another contributor's work, making no attempt to ask for permission or credit the original text, and passed it off as your own. This may be in the narrow and niche context of intra-wiki discussions, but that doesn't make it right.

Doing what you did in a creative and professional context invariably comes with serious, almost-always career-ending consequences, That you made no attempt to address or acknowledge the matter after it was brought up by other users does not speak well of your ethics as an editor either. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 12:14, October 9, 2022 (EDT)

Okay. I’ll start over by using my own words. {{User: Teh Other/sig}}
:And as I said in the vote, "''bit early for this, son.''" If you know something is going to have near-unanimous opposition, it's always best to bide your time and wait for new information or general consensus to evolve rather than attempting to "settle" it there and then. In this case, there's still a lot of things split that can be treated as reason to keep a more important subject like this split. I've waited months or ''[[Big Cheep Cheep|years]]'' for some things which paid off well. (Also, when making proposals, don't rely fully on others to do your homework and debating. Wu, LTL, and I were the only ones really making supporting arguments, and I was the only one then to actually openly support through voting.) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:10, October 9, 2022 (EDT)

== Deletion ==

For the record, deleting something doesn't actually save any space on the server. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 18:47, October 23, 2022 (EDT)

== Tropical Freeze gallery proposal ==

Not sure if you're looking at the comments in your [[Gallery talk:Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze|proposal]], but it has been requested that the proposal's exact goals should be made clearer (if you intend to make a new gallery page as you attempted, or move all images to [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|the game's page]]). It would also be nice if another option was added to the proposal to further distinguish the two possibilities. As of me leaving this message, you have three days to make these changes. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 06:31, December 20, 2022 (EST)

== Last warning ==

{{lastwarn}}
Next time you attempt to make a big change without discussing or proposing will be followed with a block. Do not just put deletion tags on other pages and attempt to merge it all on one page without at least trying to see what others would think about the situation. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:39, December 31, 2022 (EST)
:Okay. I'll start over by making a proposal. How long will the block after failure to communicate last? {{User:Teh Other/sig}}
::First block will be for two weeks. Also, if you do make a proposal, you really should pay very close attention to votes and comments, and interact more if needed compared to your previous proposals. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 19:55, December 31, 2022 (EST)

== Desktop previewing ==

When redoing pages into sections, make sure you see how they look on desktop. While image placement looks fine on mobile most of the time, on desktop they're all defaulted to the right and stack on top of each other, misaligning them from the sections and pushing them into the non-History sections. A good way to lay the images out properly would be to alternate [[Help:Image|aligning them left and right]] and using {{tem|br}}. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:30, January 4, 2023 (EST)

== Signature ==

{{sigfix|2=too many images}}
Per [[MarioWiki:Signatures]], only up to two static images or one animated image are allowed. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:34, April 17, 2023 (EDT)

== Fanon content ==

Hi, I happened to notice that you seem to be interested in writing Mario fanon content based on your message to Porplemontage. While that sort of content isn't allowed in the wiki's mainspace, it is something that could be featured in The 'Shroom's Fake News section! You could write about characters, items, games, pretty much anything you'd like (within reasonable limits, of course - as long as it's appropriate, you're good), and it doesn't even have to be on a specific schedule if you don't want to commit to one. Please feel free to ask me f you have any questions about it. If you're interested, our [[The_'Shroom:Sign_up|sign up page]] has information on how to send an application to Meta Knight on the forums, or you can just submit something directly to me on the forums if you'd prefer. Thanks for reading and have a nice day! --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:04, June 5, 2023 (EDT)

== Story linking ==

I linked this page to you already, but per [[MarioWiki:Canonicity]] we shouldn't try to connect the storylines of certain games to each other when there is absoloutely no indication that the stories actually do follow each other. Super Mario World is an exception as the connection to Super Mario Bros. 3 is made in the instruction manual, but please stop doing this for the New Super Mario Bros. games, and even the Super Mario Galaxy games. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 21:06, June 15, 2023 (EDT)

== Move, merge and split templates ==

Per [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/61#Discourage drive-by templating part 2|this proposal]], please do not put these templates on pages without starting a discussion or proposal in the talk page first. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 13:51, July 19, 2023 (EDT)
:Okay, now I'll never be able to put them without starting a discussion or proposal in the talk page first. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 14:07, July 19, 2023 (EDT)

== Major article changes ==

Please stop making significant changes to articles on a whim without a discussion or even giving a reason for doing so. While not as major as cases you were warned for previously, even something like drastically reorganising [[List of games]] or [[Mario Party (series)]] (issues for which have been raised on their talk pages) could at least have been brought up on the talk page first. Next time, please consider whether there'd be potential concerns or disagreements with what you're changing and gather some opinions from others before making changes like this. Also, don't ask for others to not revert your edits; anyone has the right to if it's within reason. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:08, August 19, 2023 (EDT)
:Okay, I'll make a proposal before doing that. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 12:46, August 19, 2023 (EDT)
::It doesn't always have to be straight to a proposal, even at least a simple discussion post for something this scale would be a good starting point. A proposal can be the next step from there if necessary. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:01, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

== Reminder ==

{{reminder|2=not following proper proposal procedure}}
Your last several proposals were missing the {{tem|TPP}} notice and the link on the [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Lists|main proposals page]] to let others know a proposal is going on [[User_talk:GuntherBB#Proposal_Formatting|despite already being reminded of this multiple times]]. Please remember to follow the procedure step-by-step; you're responsible for your own proposal and other users shouldn't have to correct this for you each time (and by not doing so, it's less likely to get attention, as was the case with [[Talk:Yoshi Racing|Yoshi Racing]] during its first two weeks). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 23:59, November 3, 2023 (EDT)

== 18-Volt ==

Hi, can you explain why you are insisting including 18-Volt's Get it Together art on his article now it has bee updated to Move It? The art representing Get It Together on the preview gallery is in a unique art style unlike the official render, which is the exact same art style as Gold. Every other WarioWare character uses these images to represent the game and I feel its better to keep it that way for consistency's sake.

[[User:Sdman213|Sdman213]] ([[User talk:Sdman213|talk]]) 21:09, November 6, 2023 (EST)

== Your subpage proposal ==

I've decided to archive it early for violating [[MarioWiki:Lists]]. [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/63#Move_certain_articles_and_galleries_to_subpages_and_create_new_disambiguation_pages_consisting_of_subpages|You can view the original proposal here]] and my suggestion to how to discuss and approach these kinds of topics that directly relate to our policy pages. {{User:Mario/sig}} 13:38, November 26, 2023 (EST)

== Redirects ==

Please stop redoing edits that were previously reverted and marking [[Yoshi (platform series)]] for deletion. Not only does it have edit history, there's [[MarioWiki:Redirects|no real benefit getting rid of it]] and if anything kills external links other websites could've linked to the article at the time. {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 00:23, December 30, 2023 (EST)

== unapproved tabber cases ==

I see you're adding tabber to the ''Mario 64'' courses, but it's not been approved for use [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 14:39, January 21, 2024 (EST)
:Oh. Sorry about that. I'll need to make a proposal before doing that. --{{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 14:41, January 21, 2024 (EST)
::There's actually an ongoing proposal about this very thing right now. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 14:42, January 21, 2024 (EST)
:::The [[Template:Tabber]] page shows cases that are approved. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 14:50, January 21, 2024 (EST)

== Enacting other users' proposals ==

Just a heads up that the first bullet point in [[MarioWiki:Courtesy#Discourteous behavior]] advises against enacting someone else's proposals. You should ask the user who proposed it first before you go ahead, especially if that user is someone who normally does enact their own proposals. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 11:47, February 2, 2024 (EST)

== Subject origin ==

This parameter is primarily used for real life subjects like [[crab]], for Goomba/Galoomba cases it's still accurate to use the variants and relatives parameters. {{User:Swallow/sig}} 12:27, February 4, 2024 (EST)

== Spike Eel concept art ==

Hi, GuntherBB. I saw that you uploaded [[:File:SMO Concept Art - Underwater Tunnel to the Lighthouse.jpg|this piece of concept art]] recently. I'm sure you did this with the best intentions, but I ask that you delete it and not upload anymore concept pieces from ''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey''. I once uploaded similar files myself before admins [[User talk:Nintendo101#Artbook uploads|gently informed me]] that this wiki should not provide access to art only found in copyrighted, published books, especially at the large resolution of this specific uploaded file and doubly-especially for books still being sold. I hope you understand. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:43, March 2, 2024 (EST)
:Okay. I promise that I will never be able to upload any more concept pieces from ''The Art of Super Mario Odyssey''. {{unsigned|GuntherBB}}
::Thanks a bunch! - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 22:54, March 2, 2024 (EST)
:::You're welcome. Should I to ask for permission before I can upload any more concept pieces? If yes, then who should I ask? Porplemontage or any another administrator? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 11:05, March 3, 2024 (EST)

== Re: Proposal Clean Up ==

I'm gonna be honest, I haven't voted on it because it concerns something I myself am relatively unfamiliar with and something I myself rarely use. Therefore, I didn't really have any reason to vote. {{User:Tails777/sig}}
:Also, this is the second time you've posted in my talk page about a proposal which I haven't been interested to vote in, the first time being a week ago. If I am interested and/or I decide on an option, then I will leave a vote. I do not want to see another message from you asking me about your proposals on my talk page. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 22:03, March 30, 2024 (EDT)
::So what's a better way to do than post in someone's talk page about a proposal to vote in? {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 22:08, March 30, 2024 (EDT)
:::This paragraph is copy-pasted from [[MarioWiki:Courtesy]]
:::"'''Users should not solicit votes from other users.'''
:::Do not ask other users to vote for anything, period. While this is mainly directed at proposals, it applies to FAs, elections, and any other voting that takes place on the Super Mario Wiki. Even if you don't explicitly ask your friends to support your cause (or to join you in opposing something), simply contacting them makes it look like you're fishing for votes in your favor. The only time you are allowed to draw someone's attention to a vote is when a proposal concerns a subject that is important to them. Far from an act of discourtesy, giving them a heads-up about some possible changes being made to that subject would be a very considerate thing to do. Furthermore, if the validity or rationale behind someone's vote is being questioned, you can contact the voter and ask them to check back in on the matter, which may result in them changing their vote." {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 22:12, March 30, 2024 (EDT)
::::Oh. Sorry about that. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 22:48, March 30, 2024 (EDT)

== Bowser's Fury in infoboxes ==

I've been reverting your string of edits regarding this because I think it should have some further discussion first. {{User:Nightwicked Bowser/sig}} 14:23, May 8, 2024 (EDT)
:Okay. I'll start over with a proposal. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 14:24, May 8, 2024 (EDT)
::You know what? I had to cancel [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/66|my proposal]] due to too many oppositions, so I shouldn't be doing things like my string of edits regarding Bowser's Fury in infoboxes at all, because that would be unnecessary. Never mind! {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 17:20, May 8, 2024 (EDT)

== ''Yoshi's Island'' chart icons ==

Hi, Gunther. I noticed your inclusions of the level and world icons for the ''Yoshi's Island'' series in [[Template:Chart icon]]. Not a bad idea, but have you considered trying to incorporate them into [[Template:World]] instead? I think it should provide a for focused integration of what you want, I think. I also worry about the other template getting too large. (No worries if you do not want to do that - just thought I would throw that out there.) I may also reach out to {{User|Ray Trace}} if you are planning any major overalls of the ''Yoshi's Island'' articles. A lot of the baseline work on those articles was done by her. Cheers! - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 08:50, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

== templates ==

Glad to see you liking my templates. Implementing them is hard work, so it's always nice to see others add, or even improve upon what I made, for the sake of universal consistency across the wiki. Thank you. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:36, May 15, 2024 (EDT)
:You, sir, are welcome. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 16:37, May 15, 2024 (EDT)
::Like I understand the point of wikis is to edit, though things like wikitables are coding within the articles (just as infoboxes would be if they weren't infoboxes), and it's less of a hassle to adjust a wikitable with similar or identical columns throughout articles (e.g. the Smash Brothers descriptions) if it's all been predefined beforehand. This way, adjustments to a template can apply to the hundreds of pages it is on. In other words, it's more versatile when it's all been defined by a template, as well as beginner friendly. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 16:50, May 15, 2024 (EDT)

== "More refs needed" tag ==

The tag's purpose is to signal pages that require a large amount of citations, such as [[Deanna Mustard]]. Stop placing the tag on any page with even just one "citation needed" tag, because that makes the latter redundant. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 18:06, May 16, 2024 (EDT)
:Okay. I'll remove one tag. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 18:09, May 16, 2024 (EDT)

== SMG missions table ==

Are you done implementing it? Though looks like the Mario Galaxy 2 pages could use it. [[User:Super Mario RPG|Super Mario RPG]] ([[User talk:Super Mario RPG|talk]]) 11:47, May 23, 2024 (EDT)
:Not yet. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 11:48, May 23, 2024 (EDT)

== Snow Cheep Cheep ==

Hello, I am messaging you to ask about an edit you made to [[Cheep Cheep]] on July 23, 2022, where you added "Snow Cheep Cheep" as a name for those found in the Snow Kingdom. This name had been removed from the article, because, in short, it doesn't seem that is was intended as a name for the enemy, any more than the equivalent "Lake Cheep Cheep". The capitalization of the word "Snow" is probably simply due to the Moon names being written in title case. Is it okay if I remove it again? [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 15:26, May 24, 2024 (EDT)
:Sure. {{User:GuntherBB/sig}} 16:54, May 24, 2024 (EDT)
