First (I mean, a lil' comment)

Hello, thanks for the edits for melee hell. And yea, the page is kinda weird..uhh kinda (a lot.) --LoS PPS KoRos (talk) 13:44, 21 January 2015 (EST)

You

Ain't you from like... 2013... Poultry(talk) the God-Slayer 18:09, 25 May 2016 (EDT)

More accurately, from 2008. But who's counting?

Mewtwo's rewrite

Thanks a lot. You're one of the few people that really know how things should be done here. That rewrite was very good. And shoutouts to your account's longevity :] -- BeepYou, a user with no grammar at all :v (talk) 01:50, 6 June 2016 (EDT)

I appreciate your praise, but I think more of it should be given to this guy. I only wrote it, he provided most of the input and also looked over my final revision before posting it. I don't even own Mewtwo in Smash 4, and I haven't played the game in any capacity for about half a year now.

That said, Mega does kinda suck. I mean, he couldn't even beat Hime in Suguri.

teh feedback

What exactly do you mean by showcasing poor behavior of the guy known as Drilly Dilly? So he vandalized according to his block details, but from looking thru his edits, none of them were vandalism, so can you explain? 70.197.85.68 17:34, 28 July 2016 (EDT)

Look.

The rule of "SmashWiki is not censored" is a textual rule for content pages. Uploading NSFW personal images seems like it's beyond the scope of that rule. I'd appreciate it if you picked a SFW replacement, and I'll delete the visibility of the NSFW one. Miles (talk) 15:26, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

Now see, I uploaded that image under SW:PI, not SW:NOT. Per SmashWiki:Personal Images, images considered to be "obscene" can be deleted; the image, however, fails the Miller test, as it does not depict sexual conduct in any manner. Ergo, the image is not obscene.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 17:10, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

Don't be deliberately obtuse for the sake of it. This is a safe-for-work site except where using certain language for the sake of encyclopedic coverage is appropriate (e.g. quoting Bayonetta). You're allowed to have your own opinion of what qualifies as "obscene", but there's certain things that aren't gonna fly here. Miles (talk) 18:17, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

I am going to have to agree with Miles here. We should not accept nudity here, it makes us look unprofessional. Serpent King 18:18, 31 July 2016 (EDT)

This one was apparently a misclick, but I have to point out that this is now twice you've uploaded an image here that would qualify as NSFW by standard definitions. Make a point of keeping that kind of thing off this site. I don't want to get in your face about this, but come on. There's some things that should just be common sense. Miles (talk) 03:46, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

Yeah, I made a minor error and immediately corrected it when I realised what I did wrong. What more do you want? A picture of me prostrating myself for this mistake? I'm sorry I made this error, but I don't understand why you have to blow it completely out of proportion. Just deleting the initial upload would've been sufficient.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 18:36, 13 August 2016 (EDT)

Since you are a returning editor

I thought I should point out that we have a Discord now. Hope to see you there. Serpent King 23:34, 17 June 2017 (EDT)

I'm not too big on Discord for a number of reasons, but I'll consider it.

License tags

The fairuse tag has since been deemed obsolete and we're no longer using it. Toomai has since made licenses such as {{license-screenshot}} to be used instead. Disaster Flare (talk) 13:20, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Is Project M considered a "copyrighted video game" though? It's a mod that doesn't have copyright protection. John HUAH! 13:22, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

It's...a gray area, honestly. I don't think we have any tags that would properly fit PM. Disaster Flare (talk) 13:24, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Frankly, you shouldn't be using PM to illustrate this anyways. It goes against standing policy of not including it in general purpose articles. Miles (talk) 13:25, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

DF: Aw shucks, you made me feel old all of a sudden. Been using fairuse for forever just because it was the one I got into the habit of using when I first edited SmashWiki. Either way, I'll try my best to get into the habit of using that new template, then.

John: As DF said, it's a grey area. I myself would assume fair use because while Project M is officially not copyrighted, the base game, Brawl, is, and I assumed some of its assets are still copyrighted by Nintendo. At least, that was my logic for fairuse.

Miles: I'm aware of Project M's standing on SmashWiki, and I initially planned on using images of Melee to demonstrate stage striking. However, I felt using Project M was acceptable in this case, as the mod itself comes with built-in stage striking tools that would have made images much "cleaner" than if I had manipulated images of Melee. Plus, given how PM is still a popular tournament game, I figured it would be acceptable to use it to demonstrate a tournament-centric concept.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 13:31, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

Using annotated Melee screenshots would still be preferable. Miles (talk) 13:32, 21 June 2017 (EDT)

We'll have to agree to disagree, then. Images with text or other graphics added to them post-capture seems unprofessional compared to actual images of a game in my view. I have no interest in pursuing my original Melee route, but if someone decides to replace my PM images with those from another game, in such a way that is rather clean and thorough, I'm not likely to complain.

Tier list talk page

I'm not sure what you were trying to say in diff's comments, but I did sense you were trying to make a point about my suggestion on a FAQs. Can you please clarify how is my suggestion and me moving the essay to it's correct spot are mutually exclusive? —S+ Tier (List) | 02:38, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

Ultimately, it's hard to take any of your edits to the tier list page seriously when you're prancing around with a plainly obvious anti-tier bias. It's like if an unabashed 9/11 Truther keeps trying to open discussion on 9/11, dig it? Yeah, we all think different, but try to leave your bias at the door and try making talk page posts that don't lambaste the opposing side.

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 14:29, 26 June 2017 (EDT)

Let's set aside my initial edit for now. How would you reword my suggestion so it doesn't have an "anti-tier bias" like you claim? —S+ Tier (List) | 12:09, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

Cut out everything after "even create its own separate page?" and you might have a better shot of being taken seriously.

Also, let's be honest, your nickname doesn't exactly smack of neutrality, does it?

--- Monsieur Crow, Author Extraordinaire, 15:27, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

It's just a username, though.

And how does cutting out how lists are misused earn it neutrality? Are you sure you read the whole thing? —S+ Tier (List) | 15:53, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

I tried giving a serious response to this, then my proxy cut out because lol

Anyways, I gave a serious response to this on the talk page for tier lists. Check it out.

Edit summaries

I'm getting a bit concerned about many of the edit summaries you are making as of late. Quite a few of them could be crossing the line of opinion, and because many of them are also written pretty aggressively, it could also spark problems with other users on this wiki and maybe attract vandals. Not to mention that the edit summaries make your edits look like vandalism themselves, diverting attention towards good faith edits when it really shouldn't, which can also be a problem. So uh... maybe tone it down a little bit, okie? Thanks :) Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation. Furries make the Internets go! :3 21:28, 27 June 2017 (EDT)

As outlined on my userpage, I put stupid comments and jokes that don't fully represent how I really feel in my edit summaries all the time, and if you jump back to 2011 or so, you'll see it's something I've done for forever. They're just stupid sentences, nothing more, nothing less. I can try to... "tone it down", but I can't guarantee I'll completely stop. Sometimes, you just have no choice but to call a spade a spade.
