Talk: Mario

Wow, that's pretty crazy. I guess great minds think alike! Useight 22:40, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

The Legend of Zelda (series)

The wikiarticle contains a link to "Nintendo Wii" when it should be "Wii". Would you mind fixing it? Thanks. Just64helpin 00:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

It seems to have popped up in Fist of the North Star as well. Please? Just64helpin 23:13, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Done. I'm pretty bored anyway. :) — Malcolm (talk) 23:15, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Goodbye

Following being forced to serve Henchman's sentence with him when i did nothing and Metros jumping to illogical conclusions when resolving me being unautoblocked (which I suspect was because of us starting on bad terms), I've decided Wikipedia is more trouble than it's worth. First RobJ, then AKMask and now this! I just can't take it and so i am going. I would like to thank you for all your help and support that kept me in this community for longer but I cannot put up with this. So thanks again, and goodbye. if you have a reason why I should stay, don't hesitate to post it. I may even decide to come back but this is probably a last goodbye.

Jesse Jackson

Thanks for temporarily semi-protecting the page, I'm not a regular there but it appears to have a large number of IP vandals. At what point is it considered reasonable to make it permanently semi-protected? The page has now been given 4 two-week semi-protections this year already, and it doesn't appear to be widely watchlisted (per wp:prot) so vandalism has occasionally been on the page for many hours at a time. Pro crast in a tor 00:26, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

If the frequent IP vandalism continues after the protection expires, it could be protected for a longer period of time (1-2 months), and if it continues after that, it may be indefinitely semi-d. Indefinite protection is used on articles that would normally get a lot of vandalism per day (i.e. George W. Bush or Wii). — Malcolm (talk) 00:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I'll keep it watchlisted to see if it continues. Best, Pro crast in a tor 00:33, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Unnecessary redirects

Now that a more permanent and practical way to keep the characters is done, can you delete these redirects? GX Pilots, GX Pilots (2), Characters in F-Zero X, and Characters in F-Zero AX. FMF 16:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Done. — Malcolm (talk) 16:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Idk if these should be deleted but here are some more redirects I've found: F-Zero AX pilots & circuits, F-Zero X debuted characters, F-Zero AX debuted characters, AX Pilots & Circuits, AX Pilots & Courses, Talk:What I'm Made Of, Open Your Heart (Sonic Adventure), Open Your Heart (Crush 40) and any other "Open Your Heart (etc, etc)" you can find, but the page now has been moved by me to cover all songs. FMF

Sonic Adventure Vocal Album (Songs with Attitude), my mistake, its "mini-Album". FMF 00:20, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you specify why they need to be deleted? Redirects usually do no harm. — Malcolm (talk) 23:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I was hoping for you to pick and choose which ones aren't necessary. FMF 15:58, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, I don't see anything wrong with any of them (except the talk page, which I've deleted). — Malcolm (talk) 18:35, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: List of enemies in Doom and User:TTN

With regards to my vandalism notice, I suggest you look at the edit history of List of enemies in Doom. Three other editors identified his edits as vandalism; I was perfectly justified calling his edits vandalism as well.

RFA Thanks

suspected sockpuppets

hi malcolm, just wanted to let you know i've filed a report here about an account that you blocked, I think it's the same user creating multiple accounts, who has already had an IP blocked that was responsible for a previous rash of admin-bashing usernames. if you've seen any other username accounts recently that are spoofing administrators, i encourage you to add them to the report. thanks! ~Eliz81^(C) 21:50, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

How to Set Up Interests on User Page

Hi Malcolm, I was wondering if you could tell me how to include those cool interest icons like a lot of folks do on their user pages?

TIA 05:55, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Are you referring to these? If not, please be a little more specific. — Malcolm (talk) 17:34, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Query

Could you please explain how the TFD for "notpropaganda" could be considered not consensual? It has extensive discussion and arguments, that I don't really think a two-word closing is justified. Yours, >Radiant< 14:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The majority of most of the opinions were valid, both keep and delete (I discounted two, both deletes). There obviously wasn't a consensus for speedy deletion. It may need better wording, but not necessarily outright deletion. If you want me to explain more or note this in my closure, I will. — Malcolm (talk) 19:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi

This is probably really late to be asking this, but why did you change your name from Llama man to Malcom? Cheers!! P.S.: Arjun's back!!!!!!!! P.P.S.: Do you know of any users that know Randfan in the real world that could possibly find out what happened? Cheers!! Ninety ^wazup?^{Review me}_{My ToDo}^{sign here!} 18:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

1) Well, I'm not obsessed with llamas (never was, really), and couldn't think of a better username. 2) Yep, I saw him on my watchlist. :) 3) Unfortunately, no. — Malcolm (talk) 19:06, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

The CSS(?) Bar At the top of your pages

How did you make that? I'm curious because I want to make one for myself, but if theres a template then im not gonna bother C. Pineda (クリス) 05:04, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Copy the code here, and paste it to User:Czarbender/Header or whatever. I'll add or remove subpages from it if you want. — Malcolm (talk) 18:51, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

No thanks, I'm sure if i look over the code I can figure it out. thanks! C. Pineda (クリス) 01:29, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

~~Apparently not, it didnt work....~~ It worked. There was something weird with the code you provided, like missing info (not to mention the special pages, the Clickthru pages, but then i did that, and then i used the main code that i know works, and i made it work! thanks again!)C. Pineda (クリス) 01:38, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

You might want to remove the deletions, blocks, and protections for now, though. — Malcolm (talk) 19:23, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like you could use a smile, dear Malcolm :)

Smile a little, smile a little, all along the road;
Every life must have its burden, every heart its load.
Why sit down in gloom and darkness with your grief to sup?
As you drink Fate's bitter tonic, smile across the cup.

Smile upon the troubled pilgrims whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns, and smiles are blossoms, oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder by a sullen face;
Smile a little, smile a little, brighten up the place.

Smile upon your undone labour; not for one who grieves
O'er his task waits wealth or glory; he who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow in the passing years,
Smile a little, smile a little... even through your tears!

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Love,

Wow...thanks! You deserve a(nother) barnstar. In fact...I have one right here...no, not here, on your talk page. :) Seriously, you just made my day ten times better. — Malcolm (talk) 00:55, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Malcolm, let me tell you that, in return to my modest poem, you have granted me not one but in fact three beautiful gifts: the joy to know it succeeded in making your day a little better, the wonderful little star (and the tasty cornbread! :) that I'll cherish forever, and the happiness of seeing you join Simple English Wikipedia (where a welcome message awaits you! :) What could be a better way of closing this day for me than the smile you've gifted me? I can't think of any possible thing. Thank you so much, my friend! Love, Phaedriel - 06:17, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I've always intended to create an account at Simple English, but never got around to it. Then I saw it linked somewhere on your talk page, then remembered and got around to it! And you're welcome (though I still think I'm the one who should be thanking you. :) ) — Malcolm (talk) 19:27, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok point made. Feel free to dealet this section any time. But I'm still going to fix it so it doesn't look like we know more then we do...User:Colin012|Colin012]] 23:18, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Help desk

Well, I tried to use the template here and flubbed it. It worked where I needed it. Thank you for the follow-up! Into The Fray ^T/C 23:30, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Your closing of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 September 16#Templates that link to templates

I'm curious about your "no consensus" close. [1] established that these templates are bad, and there are "delete" opinions in the TFD from both "outsiders" and people that regularly edit Canadian road articles. --NE2 10:55, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but some of the keeps provided good arguments too. — Malcolm (talk) 15:09, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
