Hey, for that Dark Samus edit, this is an informative website. We're not writing a suspense novel here lol, keep edits at the formal level please. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 19:16, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

to malake since for some reason I can't seem to reply on you page

dude, I spent an hour making that section, I turned it from a little stub to the large paragraphs you see today. I don't need you telling me what or what not is right or wrong in that section.

"Please note that all contributions to Metroid Wiki are considered to be released under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2 (see Metroid Wiki:Copyrights for details). If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here."

-That pretty much sums it up. It's right under the edit box --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 20:08, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

yeah well I just wanted to share my knowledge with the world.

This is Metroid Wiki, not FML. All we need to do is share knowledge of the series with the rest of the world. Can't we all just get that? - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 20:31, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Read this page

Quality Standards-Article Style then you can understand what I was talking about. I'm not trying to delete or overhaul your work, I just want to reach a consistent, informative MetroidWiki --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 01:18, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ok, you win, i'll change it to something less dramatic.

fixed

Thank you, really appreciate it. I'm sorry for all the fuss about this.

so malake, you on youtube?

Um....I am, sort of. TheSuperZeldaMan. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 21:17, 30 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Haha no, I guess this guy is. I have an account and I decided to upload game videos once, but I never got around to it. So my hobby is pretty much this site now haha --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 02:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

lol ok then, so um zelda, what do you mean by "sort of"?

weapons

some day we need to create all the weapons pages from the metroid series.

Editing Procedures

Hey, MetroidFan! I've been patrolling your edits, and I've seen some things that I want to point out. For starters, you seem to be creating links in the middle of words, an example being Space Pirate's. This causes confusion, indirect links, and overall messiness. What you can do is, when creating links, use [[Linked article|Differentation of word]. This will make the text what is on the right, and the link what is on the left, not visible by the reader. An example of this is [[Phaaze|unknown planet], or most commonly, [[Samus Aran|Samus] (although we already have a template for that). Another thing I've seen is some basic grammar flaws, such as "stolen by Space Pirate's and they have used it to." Try to use more logic wording. Try not to use words like "a lot" and not to use abbreviations. And finally, if you make an edit that fixes a grammar problem or adds a sentence, please check the "This is a minor edit" box just above the "Save Page" icon. This just makes patrolling much easier. Thanks. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 22:51, 21 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

my nickname is bmf, for future reference, also, if I make a grammer mistake its usually by accident, its some sort of brain trance thing and when I view it later it makes no sense, like how you read a paper that has mistakes but you don't see them but when you have some other dude look over it that person catches the mistakes and then it seems obvious, this is the same with other people, so thats probably why I make those small grammer mistakes -thebestmetroidfan

Well, when you look at the quality standards, you really need to work on this. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:00, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Alright, seriously dude, don't delete the talk page because you're too weak to take anything. This is a very serious matter, and even after I've briefed you in, you're still making extremely important articles about two sentences long with heavily terrible mistakes. I've been patrolling your edits and slightly changing them, waiting for when I have free time to revert them completely. Please just try to cooperate on this non-personal, serous wiki. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

first of all, don't call me weak. Next, I just felt my talk page needed to be cleaned up, I already read what you said and am perfecting myself just like you said, I am sorry you felt that I was trying to brush this aside, so please don't call me weak -thebestmetroidfan

Disregarding my rude comment, you just said you're "perfecting yourself." Take a look at Darkling, dude. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:21, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

just remeber what I said with the whole mind trick thing. ~thebestmetroidfan

I know, I know, its short. I just really don't have that much time on my hands if you didn't know that, I have a youtube account to maintain including a facebook, and a twitter. Also I have no idea how to add images, I even said it was a stub, acknowedging that its not that long. So please understand I am a busy person. -thebestmetroidfan

I understand, but if you have no clue how to perform such a simple task as uploading images, then I suggest you get some help from a leader. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:26, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

i'm not the only one, malake hasn't been uploading images at all from what i've seen on my watchlist, i'm just saying though. Besides I know how to learn to upload images, I just haven't learned yet, if your wondering how I do this, I do this by clicking edit on a page with a photo which shows me the command for how to upload a photo. Oh and btw, I enhanced darkling -thebestmetroidfan

That.....does pretty much nothing to help. You have to actually upload the image first. And Si suggest you don't put down the top editor on the site. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:32, 22 June 2010

yeah...I discovered that when I saw the command, also i'm not putting down anyone. -thebestmetroidfan

Ok. I'm done with this, I have to continue patrolling and creating decent articles. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:38, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

my articles arn't that small but they give people the basic idea, i'm going to keep doing what i've been doing but with er...better details, so if your just going to leave at random, don't bring this up again -thebestmetroidfan

Please sign your name with four of the "~" symbol. - ZeldaMan (PostboxStatus) 01:44, 22 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

fine, but just remember what I said with the whole mind trick thing, also don't insult me ever again please. thebestmetroidfan 01:53, 22 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfanReply[reply]

Vandalism

Yeah, do NOT flame, not even vandals. Don't even bother talking to vandals. That vandal has been taking care of and all damage he has done has been deleted. Vandalism can be taken care of easily, so DON'T post any messages on their talk pages or userpages. Also, for future reference, if a vandal strikes, don't edit over any of their vandalism. Leave it alone and notify the Staff and we will take care of it. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 19:54, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ok but I didn't edit anything, also I never knew you were part of the actual metroid wiki staff, you learn something new every day, lol. thebestmetroidfan 19:58, 26 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfanReply[reply]

I've been Patrol for about half a month, so it is pretty recent. And yeah, I know you didn't edit anything, I'm just saying that for future reference. To sum everything up though, if there is a vandal, notify the staff, leave everything alone, and pretend like it didn't happen. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 20:27, 26 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

ok. thebestmetroidfan 21:06, 26 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfanReply[reply]

Space Pirates

Myself and the other admins are doing a coordinated process to creating the Space Pirate articles listed on that template, so please do not create any of those articles. Also, do not use Wikitroid as a reference, no information should be pilfered from that website. Please do not create any Space Pirate articles, as this is also a process to thwart the vandal's efforts. If you would like to help, try adding information to stubs instead of creating new pages. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 02:02, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Ok, also, can't you guys ban the vandals computer IP adress? Also I won't do what you mentioned again, both things btw. thebestmetroidfan 02:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfanReply[reply]

Not even on this article?? And no, we can't do that yet. --Malake256 {Talk | Contribs} 02:17, 30 June 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I made that article BEFORE I saw your first post, and I even changed it to my words, didn't know that it was that similar to wikitroids...also I changed THAT in my own words to, BEFORE you told me not to, btw, so yeah i'm still keeping my word. thebestmetroidfan 02:24, 30 June 2010 (UTC)thebestmetroidfanReply[reply]
