{{IP|71.213.252.78}} This is pretty minor, but I think it counts as purposely PA'ing that person in particular.

==Sockpuppetry==

I'm kinda new here, but I've been on Wikipedia, so I know wiki stuff-including sockpuppeting. The 2 accounts I suspect are Terrible is halloween and Terrible is thanksgiving. Reason: 1) the first 2 words of them are the same, 2) the last words of both are fall holidays, and 3) I noticed them both on a voting page; one was in the "support" section; the other was on the "comments" section but clearly showing support. What do you think about it?

P.s. I don't have an account here. But ip address reporting is better than no reporting at all :) <small>—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:50.81.63.168|50.81.63.168]] ([[User talk:50.81.63.168|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/50.81.63.168|contribs]]) 07:58, 17 December 2013 (EST)</small>

== Deletion ==

Could an administrator please delete the two Mario pictures I just uploaded? I was attempting to update Mario's artwork. The picture looks fine on Mariowiki but for some reason the picture is all blurry here.

== Problems ==

I have a problem with bullies on this wiki. The users that are bullys are, OmegaTyrant, Dots the StarCraft (his current name), Bandit, ToastUltramum, SuPaRoah, and Troomi Glittershine. They kept on yelling at me for “commenting on an old or resolved talk pages” or “forgetting to sign my comments”. Can you make them stop?[[User:Sandvich9|Sandvich9]] ([[User talk:Sandvich9|talk]]) 10:31, 23 December 2012 (EST)

:Congratulations for "reporting bullies" to the admin noticeboard. In case you haven't taken the time [[SW:ADMIN|to read actual policy]] (which seems likely, considering that you seem to blatantly ignore [[SW:SIGN]] and [[SW:TALK]]), you'd know that you most people you reported are either rollbackers or admins, so you just complained about this to the exact same people you are reporting. And just so you know, enforcing policy is '''''not''''' in any way "bullying." In addition, your spelling and grammar is simply atrocious. <span style="font-family:AR DESTINE">[[User:Air Conditioner|<span style="color:red">Air</span>]] [[User talk:Air Conditioner|<span style="color:green">Conditioner</span>]]</span> [[File:AC.png|19px]] is on an insane rampage 10:41, 23 December 2012 (EST)

I AM SORRY. WHY DO CARE IF I DONT HAVE PERFECT SPELLING OR GRAMMAR. SO WHAT IF I'M NOT AS SMART AS EVERYONE ELSE. I WANT YOU ALL TO STOP YELLING AT ME. I'VE HAD ENOUGH MISERY IN MY LIFE I DON'T WANT ANY MORE. YOU CAN HATE ANY USER YOU WANT BUT IT SEEMS YOU ARE ONLY TARGETING ME.

:<small>(edit conflict)</small> We're not "only targeting you." We simply inform any users who have been violating policy.

His latest crop of images are clearly 4X3 images with hacked screen extensions and not in-game widescreen. The latter places character icons close to the edge of the screen, and his images keeps all of them in the 4X3 rectangle in the center. This user has been warned time and time again about this and has been told that should he act up again, he'd be permanently blocked.

== Vandals April 1 2014 ==

There are a ton of users here who keep trolling, making disruptive posts, creating fake policies without proper approval, and adding false rumors about new characters for Super Smash Bros. for 3DS/Wii U. There are users impersonating other users and real people and they could be offended! Some guy tried to make an improper "request for modship." Someone even changed the colors of the site to red and yellow and no one knows how to fix it! Can you please block all these people? Thank you!

of [[Wi-Fi Connection]] to and over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. As the article specifically describes the method of connecting to the internet via the Wii, the former is a bit of a misnomer.

== Probation request ==

I know I can't post on the probation request page and I question if I can legally do this but I would like to request {{s|user|Reshiram1105}} to be put on probation. On his edit count, the user has made very little mainspace edits (with less than 10% of his total) and most were also reverted, and over 75% of his edits were on his userpage and user talk. If this was because he was doing multiple edits on a single page at one time then I'm sorry.
