Few things
A few things about editing here. First, please do not add battling strategies to articles, you can mention what weapons they are most vulnerable to but actual battling strategies are not allowed. Second, please do not upload watermarked images. Regarding other images, please make sure that there are not versions of the file already uploaded. File:Echoes Dark Samus.png is the same file you upload, just higher resolution and transparent (which is preferred over solid backgrounds). For the sake of giving you more experience, would you swap the image on your page for the better one? Just be sure to add an image size ([[File:Echoes Dark Samus.png|250px]] would make it the same size as the one you have on your page already.) Finally, when you added an infobox to the Phazon Grub page, you used the wrong one ({{Room-infobox}}). In that instance you would use {{Creature-infobox}}.
If you need help with anything, just let me know. MK

Other Suggestions
Hey Arc! I answered the question you asked Metroidking on his talk page. Here are a few more pointers to cover the basics of wiki editing:
Use the Show preview button, beside the Save page button, to check your edit for errors before you save. That way, you minimize the amount of edits per article, which helps out the staff, keeps the Recent Changes clean, and keeps a load off the servers.
Lastly, the image you uploaded here File:M2 C Samus LightSuit01 ad.jpg is a duplicate file of this one File:Light Suit.png, but the latter is transparent and better quality. Be sure to check the pages that will have the images you want on them (or the proper category; here's a list of all the categories, or you can check the popular categories on the Main Page).
I hope that helps! Feel free to check the editing help page for more info, or ask any of the staff! —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 18:06, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks!!! I think it looks better then the other one and thanks for the info!!--Arcwarioman 19:25, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- No problem! Here's some more hints: Usually we keep conversations on one talk page, meaning if you ask a question on someone's talk page, they will answer there, or if you are asked a question on your talk page, you should answer here.
- Thanks for getting the Jelzap article started! One tip though: You used the Species infobox instead of the Creature infobox. Species are for races like the Chozo or the Luminoth, and Creature is for wildlife/enemies. Easy to get them confused, I know!! But don't worry about it, little errors like that are how we all learn.
- Lastly, about watermarked images: Removing a watermark as in the example I posted can be pretty tough. If the watermark is off to the side you can sometimes crop it out, but otherwise you'll just have to find a different image - the purpose of a watermark is to make it so other sites can't take credit for it, and therefore they're intentionally hard to remove!
- Anyway, hope that helps. If you have another question, you can leave it here. I'll see if you change your talk page on the Recent Changes. =) —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 20:37, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks!! Another question...To "crop" or to remove a watermark, do you need adobe flash or adobe dreamcaster or whatever?--Arcwarioman 21:20, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- I personally like to use GIMP, which is a free program you can download online. Cropping is pretty simple though, you can even use Microsoft Paint (which comes free with your computer if you're using Windows) to color over a watermark or crop it out and it'll do the job credibly. Whatever image editing program you like. =) —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 21:58, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks!!! A watermark is a logo, right? And what if you are using a library computer?--Arcwarioman 22:35, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
- That's right, a watermark is text or a logo impressed on the image to identify the owner of the media. A library computer, huh? Hmm... I don't have much experience with that. Assuming your library computer allows you to save files and edit them with MS Paint, I guess it's fine to use that if you remove your work from the computer when you're done. But again, that depends on the Library's computer rules. —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 22:55, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
ACCKKK!!!
Theres nothing I can help with!! I can do enemies on metriod prime series, THATS ALL!!! I want something to do!!!!!!--Arcwarioman 21:33, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hey there! No need to panic, everyone has something to contribute!! There are still several enemies from the Prime series that don't have pages. Look for red links on these three templates (red links are links to pages that don't exist yet): Template:MP Creatures-nav, Template:MP2 Creatures-nav, and Template:MP3 Creatures-nav. Other things we always need help with are spelling and grammatical edits, creating articles for rooms, or just improving on what we already have! There are LOTS of Stubs that need expansion! Also, I answered your infobox question on my talk page. —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 21:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

This is for when I need help with pages.--Arcwarioman 21:46, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
The Omega pirate
Why do people say that the Omega Pirate is the hardest boss in MP. hey, Ive heard that he is possibly the hardest boss in the Metroid series. what does you guys say about that?--Arcwarioman 14:37, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oh man, no way! I mean I don't know about Metroid Prime, I guess relatively speaking he's one of the hardest in that game, but the bosses in Echoes are way harder! The Boost Guardian is notorious for being tough because it's so fast and your health is literally being sucked out of you the entire battle, and the Emperor Ing/Dark Samus combo is a pain, too, especially in light of the Ammunition system. I'd rather fight the Omega Pirate, with my unlimited charged Plasma Beam shots, any day. —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 18:47, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- I agree. Echoes has way harder bosses. Like Quadraxis and the Spider guardian and Alpha Blogg( the latter 2 are hard if unprepared). And Echoes isnt the only game with hard bosses. MP3 has Moganar and other bosses that kicks butt. The other games bosses I havent challenged heck I havent played them yet. But I disaggre with the so called unlimited Plasma Charged shots. they are really not unlimited( the flame thrower isnt anyway). --Arcwarioman 20:17, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- Did you know that the super missle is arcwarioman-recommended for defeating him.. What I do is that I Destroy his tissue with the charge power beam..As I said on the other talkspace(Metroid king's I think) that I cant be hit, Im that evasive. Then when he is gone invisable as I say I ignore the pirite go x-ray and when he apears I shoot 1 super missle and he immedianttly stops healing and dissapears again. Rinse and repeat.The Super Missle is the brutes weakness! Its damage almost cripples him! --Arcwarioman 21:15, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- Whats youre stratagy to the Omega Pirate?--Arcwarioman 21:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- I usually take out the Trooper Pirates when they show up cuz they ANNOY ME but other than that I just orbit around him shooting charged shots, and if I feel my personal space being encroached upon I'll Boost Ball away. I think the Super Missile is probably more effective but I get so MAD when his big meaty hands get in the way that I think it's better for my blood pressure if I just use the Plasma Beam. XD —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 21:23, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
From meaty to hamburgery!!!lol!!!--Arcwarioman 21:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Ok lets talk a different boss now. How about Prime Himself?--Arcwarioman 21:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
