==Re: Spirit Battle inspiration==
"I don't exactly hear those complaints from the other Spirit pages that I've done with Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Game & Watch, R.O.B, and PAC-MAN." As I've learned myself the hard way, a lack of complaints does not necessarily equate to approval; someone may still voice opposition later down the line, and today that voice is mine. In the case of Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong, the lists of Spirit Battles are long enough that I haven't had the time to go through them and pick out what does or does not work; Metroid is simply the one that I got around to checking out today.

In the [[Forum:Adding an "Inspiration" column to Spirit Battle tables|forum discussion leading to the addition of Spirit Battle inspiration]], the addition of highly speculative "inspiration" was brought up as a potentially major concern. Prior to your edits, most inspiration added to these pages tended to be clear references; tenuous connections or long-reached stretches are frowned upon and are often removed when noticed by other editors. However, your edits try to justify every single detail in the Spirit Battle, often to the point of making vague connections that occasionally do not make sense. For example, "The Attack Power ↑ is a reference to the Parasite Queen's main method of attack by firing a laser from its mouth." How is this a reference? The Parasite Queen's mouth laser doesn't boost its attack power in ''Metroid Prime''. In another instance, you claim that the Geemer battle's "third battle condition is a reference and a joke on the Geemers being an evolutionary offshoot of the Zoomers", which is just plainly a silly stretch to make. These are just two of many examples you've added. Just like with alternate costumes, it is not our job to find possible inspiration for every detail in the spirit battles; just to state those that are clear and obvious enough.

You also completely ignored me when I stated that some of your edits are factually incorrect and contain errors. For example, the inspiration column originally stated that Geemers are found in Brinstar in ''Metroid'', explaining the stage and music choices. You changed this to state that the stage and music reference the Geemer's debut in ''Metroid Prime'', which is completely false (Brinstar isn't in ''Metroid Prime'', the Brinstar music isn't in ''Metroid Prime'', and Geemers didn't debut in ''Metroid Prime''). Similarly, you changed Kraid's inspiration to say that the music and stage reference his ''Super Metroid'' appearance, when the Brinstar Depths music isn't in ''Super Metroid'' at all. These are not the only errors you've made, but you reinstated them all when you reverted my edit.

Furthermore, your writing style simply bloats the column. You add a lot of unnecessary extra wording that doesn't add much. For example, do we really need to say "choice" in nearly every single bullet, or specify "the choice of" a particular puppet fighter, when it would be more concise just to drop that word/phrase altogether? And then there are details that aren't necessary; for example, we don't need to go into detail about how X Parasites are parasitic organisms that absorb memories, kill their hosts, and are enhanced to become Nightmare when none of those details are represented in the Spirit Battle. Just stick to what is necessary. Less is more. And believe me, I have a tendency to write a ''lot'' more than necessary!

This is why I reverted most of your edits to the ''Metroid'' Spirits page (however, please keep in mind that I did keep the additions that I thought would work to the page's benefit). Speculation, errors, and bloated wording are not constructive to SmashWiki and have been grounds for reverted edits plenty of times in the past. So please, do not undo my edit again. I do not want this to become an edit war. --[[User:PeabodySam|PeabodySam]] ([[User talk:PeabodySam|talk]]) 22:04, February 5, 2020 (EST)

Fine. You can take out the excessive unnecessary "inspirations" if they're too bloated, and you can tone it down for anyone else all you want. 
Maybe if we even worked together about how to present these "inspirations" so they're short and sweet, but also detailed before, then we would prevent the precipice of an editing war. <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:Autismo555|Autismo555]] ([[User talk:Autismo555|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Autismo555|contribs]]) 10:38, 6 February 2020 (EST)</small>

:I feel you may need a reminder. Most of your edits only bloat the sections with any possible thing you can find as a reference, no matter how minor or insignificant it is. For instance I don't believe "The puppet fighter's red coloration is a reference to Loid's shirt being colored red" is worthy of trivia, spirit battle trivia should be short and concise clear-cut references.

== [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_spirits_(Kingdom_Hearts_series)&diff=1629806&oldid=1629791 This edit] (and others following it) ==

Why did you add back a lot of the things that I removed? A lot of it is just plainly obvious stuff that isn't a reference (all of the KH music is from KH1, so, for instance, "Hand in Hand" being used isn't a reference to Kairi's debut), and some of it is just generic stuff that doesn't belong in that section (such as the mention of Riku's and Terra's battles transitioning/starting in their respective Dive to the Heart). I really don't like the formatting of the spirit battle section, and I tried to clean it up with more readable information, but that's kinda difficult if you just revert it back.

:Believe me, I hate the format of the spirit battle inspiration column myself. If I could, I'd add a collapsible row to showcase the spirit battle inspirations, but the only thing standing in the way is CanvasK and his insistence that the change would be decided by popular vote, which I fully support.

:As for the "plainly obvious stuff" as you'd call it, I'm trying to break down each spirit battle by fact. Blatantly explaining the intricacies of a spirit battle with merged bullet lists and a long explanation of what the spirit battle represents makes it look bloated AND unsightly, especially in this cramped format. I'm trying to make the spirit battles more readable this way until something is done about the inspiration columns.

:And besides, not all spirit battles have plainly obvious stuff. Have you seen Mii Gunner for Sukapon? The costume looks nothing like Sukapon or his creator.[[User:Autismo555|Autismo555]] ([[User talk:Autismo555#top|talk]]) 12:38, October 19, 2021 (EDT)
::I'm talking less about the format, and more the breaking down of it point by point. It feels unnecessary, almost like there's a break in the reading, and this is especially the case when points could easily be merged together (like what I did with Riku). The cramped nature of the columns may make it seem bloated, but it's not actually taking that much space up in terms of information. Given that I doubt anything can be done about the size of the column, I don't think we'll be able to escape the cramped space anytime soon.

::That said, outside of this wiki, I ''have'' done it in such a way that the information in the column is collapsable (rather than the column itself), by way of <code><nowiki><div class="contentbox mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="Show" data-collapsetext="Hide"></nowiki></code>. I've actually been using that code in a <nowiki>"{{hidden}}"</nowiki> template, so maybe I could try setting that up.

::My point wasn't that every spirit battle had plainly obvious stuff (obviously there's going to be references that are made that aren't obvious to non-fans), but rather that we don't need to outright note blatantly obvious stuff that isn't a reference, like "The stage transitions to Riku's Dive to the Heart station."

== Your edits ==

Hi there.

Multiple users, including myself, have confronted you about your edits to spirit pages. These edits have ranged from inserting speculative statements that focus on loose, coincidental connections, increasing the word count of individual points to unnecessary levels, and even putting up objectively false statements, and you revert their removal for no given reason. These edits have been happening since [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_spirits_(Metroid_series)&diff=1367659&oldid=1367598 2020], and they persist even to [https://www.ssbwiki.com/index.php?title=List_of_spirits_(Donkey_Kong_series)&curid=87487&diff=1758781&oldid=1758713 today]. I (and presumably others) have only not taken care of them due to lacking both knowledge of other series to verify claims, and time to actually go through the pages and check every little thing to make sure it's up to the standard of the wiki, so I want to make something incredibly clear: '''this stops ''now''.''' If it continues, you will be banned for adding speculative statements (which we [[SW:SPEC|have a policy against doing]]), adding ''false'' information, and overall not contributing to the wiki in a positive way.

== Your ban ==

Hi. A bit late on the followup, but still figured it was necessary to follow up in the first place.

Let's cut to the chase. You, over the past ''five years'', have:
*bloated up the spirit pages' references sections beyond belief, to the point where no one actually wants to take the time to meticulously clean out every little thing you put in there.
*put so much speculation in said sections that it becomes hard for even one who's familiar with the source material to distinguish between what's objective and subjective.
*implemented formatting in said sections without gained consensus that only contribute to the excessive wordiness and speculation.
*received numerous complaints time and time again from a number of users, including myself, about your edits going against several policies.
*continued to repeat the same behavior even after said complaints—including, again, myself, someone on the administrative level—have been issued.
It is not just my opinion that this behavior needs to stop, and as you have been given multiple warnings already, it was high time that action was taken. If your behavior does not shift, further and more intensive action will be taken.

:Then take those intensive actions then. I had a Discord account and private messages, you could've notified me about those complaints to me through DMs instead of this, and I would have stopped.
