Hey! This Nathan, owner of the wiki. I saw your request for sysop on Mel's talk page. I obviously can't just promote anyone without first talking to them, though I understand you are from SMW. Feel free to contact me on Skype at Nathanial.Rumphol.Janc, on msn at nate_janc@hotmail.com, or on aim with natejanc as my user. I am more than willing to promote people worthy of the position, especially starting out... I just want to meet you first.

==Some Notes on Archiving==


No offense, but that's possibly one of the worst things you could possibly do for the wiki. Google has ways of catching that, and they will lower your search ratings. I would suggest getting rid of it.{{:User:Neo/sig}} 04:29, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
Good job with the archive. Just a few things. Firstly they really should run chronologically, so the message above this one about sysops should also be archived, and contained at the top of the archive. Otherwise they won't be archives, they'll just be dumps. They need to be easily navigational to access conversations of the past, and secondly, the archive needs to be linked to from somewhere on your user talk page and/or user page so people know there is an archive. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 10:02, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
 
:Yeah, that ain't staying there. Our search ratings will be earned through the proper means, and mass spam linking to ourseles isn't good. It's gone now. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 05:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

:::Actually, the links were all 'rel="nofollow"' (MediaWiki automatically sets all external links up like this), so chances are good that Google wasn't even noticing them. {{User:Twentytwofiftyseven/sig}} 22:06, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 
::::True, but remember: Google isn't the only place we're attempting to impress. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:59, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 
== User Talk Page Content ==
 
Okay, I don't know how things happen at Mario Wiki, but here, conversations aren't just deleted off talk pages. Whether it's your talk page or not. Conversations should be kept for reference purposes, and when the talk page becomes too long it is archived, not deleted. I needed to refer back to this the other day, and it was gone. Furthermore in the future, others may do the same thing, and so this is good to refer them to, to show that it has happened. [[Help:Archiving]] is there if you need help with this. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 21:24, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
