[edit] Welcome!

Hi Parrothead1983, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!

Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

  • RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
  • Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
  • Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
  • Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
  • Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

Oh yes, don't forget to sign when you write on talk pages, simply type four tildes, like this: ~~~~. This will automatically add your name and the time after your comments. And finally, if you have any questions or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Once again, welcome! =)

[edit] Pokémon Torouze

Do you have a source for your claim that this game is a port of Yoshi's Cookie? Sonic Mew | talk to me 14:29, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

You may find this interesting.
Playing Pokemon Torouze feels a heck of a lot like Yoshi's Cookie, if the cookies were turned into the hundreds of Pokemon critters, and the controls were more touch-screen oriented, and the bin was more vertical in shape, and if it was far more energetic with a huge emphasis on combo settings. In reality, Pokemon Torouze is only similar on the surface to Yoshi's Cookie, but the change in mechanics really make it shine as a new puzzler.
So it looks like it is similar, but it is certainly not a port. Sonic Mew | talk to me 13:01, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Pokémon protagonists

I saw you edited Red (Pokémon) and Ash Ketchum to add pictures and references that conflated the two characters. I know it's common in the Pokémon fandom to use Red/Ash to refer to the video game protagonists pretty interchangably, but I've been trying to establish consistent use on Wikipedia, for clarity's sake.

The video game character I've been referring to as "the protagonist of (such and such game)", since the name is changable, the default name varies, and fan usage is so inconsistent. Red is the protagonist of Pokémon Adventures, since that naming is consistent, and Ash or Ash Ketchum are the protagonist of the Pokémon anime, which, again, is consistent.

I've edited Ash Ketchum and Red (Pokémon) to reflect this.

Oh, and one other thing: when you upload a Pokémon image owned by Nintendo, probably your best bet for license info is the {{Pokeimage}} template. Just add {{Pokeimage}} to the description of the image and you're set. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 17:14, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Richard's picture

Are you sure that is Richard from the Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening?

-selmaelbeyati

Yes, but he isn't really a Zelda character, but he is a Link's Awakening character. Read the details.

[edit] Tomato Adventure

(copied here from my talk page since I wasn't sure if you would be watching it)

Why does this article need to be deleted? Is it because of the grammer? Is it because it is because it is too minor? Is it because it doesn't have enough info? Tell me what is the problem with this article?

  • Because it's just another video game. It's not genre-defining, it didn't have any cultural influence. I don't think articles on minor videogames are encyclopedic. -- Hirudo 01:36, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Just so you know, you don't need to put links to the other language wikis explicitly in the external links section of articles. On this article, for example, I've made the links as they should be, and if you look to the left of the article, the interlanguage links are there. To see how to do it, just look at the ES and JA links I put at the very bottom of the article. --InShaneee 02:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

If you'd like to, I'll go ahead and add it to both the List of Japan exclusive computer and video games and Category:Japan exclusive computer and video games. ~ Hibana 22:17, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Densetsu no Stafy

Hello there! I noticed you made the Legend of Stafy page, which I've been working on a lot as well. I have a question for you, since you're obviously fluent in the Japanese language while I am not. Is Stafy a starfish, or is he something else? Sometimes I hear people saying that he's a "sky star." Which is correct?

Thanks! --Liquidcross 13:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Obscure titles

Thanks for the kind words. Good job in the creation of the Tomato Adventure article. Most people settle for just updating the more common articles, but its people like you who help to make Wikipedia something unique. Good job!

[edit] Proper usage of Japanese text

When giving the Japanese kana for whatever, please put it in this format: {{nihongo|Name|Kana|Hepburn Romanization|any extra notes}}. Make sure not to come up with your own Romanizations, as that is original research. Also, if Hepburn Romanization is the same as Name, it is not necessary to put in the Hepburn Romanization. You can see how I have done it here. ' 08:59, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are You From Nintendo Database?

I'm Whiskers from the NinDB forums. Really. TheListUpdater 22:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the exact one and only. It's nice to meet you here. Did you read my profile? 22:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Just saying hi...

It's me! I'm Rubberman202 on YouTube, Brawlmatt202 on SWF, and PaperMatt202 at deviantART! Just thought I'd make myself known to you. - Smashman202 03:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello there. It's good to see you here. I knew who you were at other places, because of the "202" at the end of your names. Right now, I'm writing the Wikipedia articles of Densetsu no Stafy 1, 2, and 3. - Parrothead1983 23:49, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Awesome! Can't wait to see them! - Smashman202 04:22, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
They are finished, but check for some errors, if you want to. - Parrothead 00:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 14:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oni Ga Shima vs. Onigashima

Hey, I'm translating some of the articles you requested on ja/en translation, and I have a question. Is it established policy that 新・鬼ヶ島 be spelled "Shin Oni Ga Shima" rather than "Shin Onigashima"? Onigashima is the name of an island, and in my opinion it looks awkward split up into three parts (see wiki article Onigashima). Thinkbeforeyouclick 18:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

According to the description of the Donbe & Hikari trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the Famicom Disk System title they were from was called "Shin Oni Ga Shima". However, it might have been a small translation error, due to a few other trophies having errors. If Donbe, Hikari and/or anyone else from that title appeared in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it might be called "Shin Onigashima" instead of "Shin Oni Ga Shima." Parrothead1983 17:48, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Okay, thanks for clarifying. Also, your new translation request definitely needs to be corrected and the page you created needs to be moved. It should be "Time Twist: Rekishi no Katasumi de..." instead of "Katasume." Thinkbeforeyouclick 02:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Got it. I've also made a few more requests, but you don't have to finish these as soon as possible. I'm just creating the articles and requests. I appreciate you for translating the Sutte Hakkun article. And I have one question: How do I make English-to-Japanese article requests? Parrothead1983 09:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Don't worry, I'll be taking my time with the ones I already signed up for. As for you question, as far as I know there is no space on either ja or en wikipedia to make such requests. Japanese wikipedia doesn't even have translation request pages of any sort. Thinkbeforeyouclick 03:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
Some Japanese articles I requested for translation don't require much translation, but they still need to, because they contain information needed for the English articles. These are perhaps the easiest. Parrothead1983 07:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arm Wrestling Image

Thank you for taking care of the fair use rationale on Image:Arm Wrestling 1 (Nintendo Arcade Game).png. rydia (talk) 22:01, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

No problemo. Parrothead1983 20:47, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wii

Regarding your inclusion of Super Smash Bros. Brawl information to various articles: please keep in mind that the name of the console is just Wii, not "Nintendo Wii". Please see Talk:Wii if you have any concerns. Just64helpin (talk) 11:44, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The way that you claim clear trivia are "notes" is just hilarious, however other users quickly notice it and add the {{trivia}}, it a shame that the inclucionist crap that you tried to save will suffer the same fate as it was destined before you tried to hide its nature. 24.139.221.15 (talk) 21:04, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Magical Starsign?

Each part of the Japanese article should be translated into the Magical Vacation and Magical Starsign articles instead of Magical Starsign (series). I don't see the reason for having a separate article with redundant information that can be found in the individual articles. Fox (talk) 13:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Then what should I do? Should I create two translation requests that are similar to the Stunt Race FX request? Parrothead1983 (talk) 15:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
You don't have to do anything. I'm just letting you know that I'll add whatever content there is to the individual articles rather than the series article. I'll make the series article into a gateway article like the Famicom Tantei Club when I finish the translation. Fox (talk) 00:38, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Talkheader

Hi, I've noticed you adding {{Talkheader}} to some talk pages recently. According to the template page, "This template should be used only when needed. Do not add this template to every talk page. In particular, it should not be added to otherwise empty talk pages." Please do not add this template by default—only use it when necessary, as it adds quite a bit of clutter to the talk page. In particular, this edit is a good example of a talk page that had no need for Talkheader. Thanks, Pagrashtak 21:18, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Square Enix Music Online

Hello. I noticed that you almost directly copied the biography of Chihiro Fujioka almost directly from Square Enix Music Online. As the biographies at Square Enix Music Online are clearly copyrighted, this is not appreciated. I have reversed your copyright infringement. If you have copied any other biographical material from Square Enix Music Online, please reverse it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.67.49.135 (talk) 00:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
