I'm on summer vacation until August 17th. At that date, I'll be more busy.

OffWiki stuff

I'm a little late on this, but I'll inform you now seeing how you weren't given a formal warning; this wiki does not care for offwiki matters. Dragging offwiki drama here is not acceptable, especially making an account for the sole purpose of such. Omega Tyrant 19:11, 4 November 2012 (EST)

Sorry about that, but the issue is cleared up. It turns out I'll only be banned for 2 weeks, and I'll just be hanging out here, and on DK wiki for the time being. But I didn't just create this account to spread that news, and I'll try to be a productive member here. Post ya' later! SmashBall104 (talk) 10:54, 5 November 2012 (EST)

Hi there!

Welcome!

Welcome to our wiki, and thank you for your contributions! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.

Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.

Please sign in, if you haven't already, and create a user name! It's free, and it'll help you keep track of all your edits. See Help:Why create an account for more info on creating an account.

Questions? You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!

Need help? The community portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.

I'm really happy to have you here, and look forward to working with you!

Yo yo yo bro

Just tellin you now, you're violating a lot of SW:TALK. We ain't be a social site bro. The outlines for talk page usage on there are pretty much the same for most Wikis. Also, don't try to pretend that you're a good contributor by stealing information from Mario Wiki for DK Wiki or SSB Wiki use. A lot of the stuff they have on there is wrong, common sense, or general, which is why NIWA has SSB Wiki and DK Wiki. MegaTron1XD 19:05, 6 November 2012 (EST)

Please also don't be disruptive with your opinions as well. Dots The Doom 19:11, 6 November 2012 (EST)

Sorry about that. But I'll try to edit as much as I can, without going to other Wikis. Thanks for the advice. I'll use it. :o) SmashBall104 (talk) 22:27, 6 November 2012 (EST)

Hey now!

You're putting your proposed policies in the completely wrong place! If you would like to propose a new policy, put it in the SmashWiki namespace, and add {{Proposed policy}} to it. However, I would advise against this; none of your policies seem like they would get much support. Air Conditioner HaS a CrAPPy KEyboaRd 19:26, 4 December 2012 (EST)

Yeah....I was told on Special:WebChat. SmashBall104 (talk) 19:37, 4 December 2012 (EST)

You'd best listen to all of us then.--Brian^{Don't try me!} 19:54, 4 December 2012 (EST)

Just so we're clear...

Archives are NOT for editing. Never, ever, ever edit an archive. Air Conditioner is the incompetent Brawler 19:16, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Sorry! Just wanted to apologize for "bothering you about unimportant things". I thought it was only right to try and respond to a message for me. SmashBall104 (talk) 17:53, 20 December 2012 (EST)

That was almost two months ago; you should not take that long to reply. Also, all you did was delete part of my signature timestamp. Air Conditioner It's all in the mind, you know! 18:04, 20 December 2012 (EST)

Well, sorry and oopsies for that too! SmashBall104 (talk) 12:24, 21 December 2012 (EST)

SW:PROB

Hi, I looked through your contributions, and in the over three months you been here, you made the equivalent of 4 attempted constructive edits, the last being over a month ago. In comparison, you made 10 edits to your and Awesome's userspace, 8 to Smash Arena and other nonconstructive forums, and many other nonconstructive user talk edits. Read over SW:NOT, and start making more of an effort to edit constructively on the Wiki. Otherwise, you will be probated until a satisfactory effort is shown. Omega Tyrant 16:01, 15 February 2013 (EST)

I'll admit I don't contribute all that much. I'll attempt to make it a habit, though it may be challenging due to homework. SB the Muscle-Man (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2013 (EST)

You've still only made 4 additional constructive edits since you received this notice, and have made many times more userpage, usertalk page, and Smash Arena edits. Awesome Cardinal 2000 19:49, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

I honestly DO try. SmashBall the :| (talk) 11:26, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Just don't edit your userspace. You could ask an admin to protect it for you, if that will help you make constructive edits. Awesome Cardinal 2000 12:06, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Gotcha! SmashBall the :| (talk) 11:18, 26 March 2013 (EDT)

Hey Dude

Your Signature needs to identify you, which SB the Muscle-Man Clearly fails to do. You probably should fix that. Fedorakeeby11 Hey look, a giant, flying distraction! 10:49, 1 March 2013 (EST)

Eh. Maybe he could type out "SmashBall" instead of abbreviating it, but I would say it identifies him well enough, the "muscle-man" part even matching the personality he tries to have on IRC. JamesHeart 12:40, 1 March 2013 (EST)

My apologies. Got the idea from Dots and how he was constantly changing his signature with random words. I needed to shorten the first part so it would work. SmashBall the Ivysaur (talk) 17:20, 1 March 2013 (EST)

Preview button

Use it. MegaTron1XD 20:51, 6 March 2013 (EST)

No problem. I'll remember! SmashBall the Ivysaur (talk) 15:57, 7 March 2013 (EST)

No

Votes don't go in half-vote section, Unless you have a good reason. Fedorakeeby11 Hey look, a giant, flying distraction! 07:22, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

What are you talking about, he didn't intentionally place it in half votes (he screwed up another user's vote, resulting in his being placed in half votes). And even if it did, intentional half votes are allowed. Omega Tyrant 08:43, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

My apologies. I honestly did not know what screwed up there. I did not add my content under the line. SmashBall the :| (talk) 15:54, 12 March 2013 (EDT)

I must have missed something; I read that they weren't allowed on somebody on somebody else's talk page. Plus, how was I supposed to that that's why his vote was there? Fedorakeeby11 Hey look, a giant, flying distraction! 07:16, 14 March 2013 (EDT)

One, read the Smash Arena rules, and see that votes are placed in half votes when they're done incorrectly (which is why a vote is in half votes 99% of the time). Two, page history exists, where you can view every edit made to the page. Omega Tyrant 08:29, 14 March 2013 (EDT)

I'm on it! SmashBall the :| (talk) 18:18, 14 March 2013 (EDT)

A really cool template

Instead of using [[Character (Game)|Character]], there's a template that shortens it to {{Game|Character}}. They both produce the exact same result, for example: [[Mario (SSBB)|Mario]] becomes Mario, and {{SSBB|Mario}} becomes the exact same thing, Mario. Use the second option to shorten your links and pages in general. Awesome Cardinal 2000 20:06, 25 March 2013 (EDT)

Thanks for the tip! ;) SmashBall the Handsome (talk) 11:20, 26 March 2013 (EDT)

Multiple edits

HI, I know you have been notified about this before, but try to use the preview button when making multiple edits to the same page. Other than that, you seem to be adding quotes to pages that do not seem to be necessary. While there's nothing wrong with being bold about ideas to improve pages, doing something like this to multiple pages takes up time for users to undo all your edits if the community deems them unnecessary. In the future, it might be a good idea to raise these kinds of proposals on the talk pages. Mr. Anontalk 23:16, 3 May 2013 (EDT)

The quotes on the tops of articles was already suggested here, and so far, no decision has been made about whether they should be included. If you want the top-page quotes, you should consider adding your thoughts to the forum and why you think they should be included. Awesome Cardinal 2000 08:09, 4 May 2013 (EDT)

I apologize for not using "Show Preview". I was also looking for constructive edits to avoid getting probated, and adding quotes was the first idea to come to me. SmashBall the Bologna (talk) 13:51, 4 May 2013 (EDT)

Expanding stubs, Cleaning up articles, finishing incomplete sections, Expanding Smasher articles, and expanding competitive stubs would be better ways to make constructive edits. Awesome Cardinal 2000 14:33, 4 May 2013 (EDT)

Like I said, quotes was the first idea to enter my head. But I will do THOSE instead. SmashBall the Bologna (talk) 10:30, 5 May 2013 (EDT)

If you really need something to edit, go look at the categories I suggested and try not to focus on adding trivia. It shouldn't be this hard to find something to do. Also, April 25th is long past, so you may want to remove that. Awesome Cardinal 2000 16:39, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

Duly noted. SmashBall the Gravy-Boat (talk) 14:13, 4 June 2013 (EDT)
