Don't just remove my trivia like this

Hi,

I think you should probably think twice before just removing trivia from smashers' pages you don't know. This is straight up abuse of your admin powers. I would understand if there was a motivation to clean up the website from minor and unimportant information, but this is difficult to believe after looking at your own user page.

Don't be an idiot.

Perhaps you should read SW:TRIVIA before you accuse Serpent King of "abusing his power". Irrelevant and uninteresting trivia is generally frowned upon, and some would argue that your trivia falls into this category. You should also read SW:NPA while you're at it, as calling people "idiots" is not conducive to a productive talk page discussion. Alex the Jigglypuff trainer 08:45, 23 May 2018 (EDT)
It’s also not ‘abuse of admin powers’ because that would entail doing something that only an admin can possibly do, and editing your page is definitely not an admin-only thing. Also keep in mind that just because the article is about you does not make you exempt from our policies, especially on personal conduct. Black Vulpine of the Furry Nation.

Ok, you want to play this game. Let's do this: "Noteworthiness. Saying something unusual about a character model? A unique fact about a character's move? Add it." "Truth. All trivia must be verified." "Detail. Make sure the piece of trivia is fully explained and not left unclear." "As explained previously, facts that can be part of the body of the article should be a part of it -- not in the trivia section."

The Smash 64 I added about myself is a fun, noteworthy little fact that I did not think needed to belong in the main body of the article. I linked to a source that verifies the claim about the Japanese players too. I also explained it as best as I could for the reader who is unfamiliar with the story.

The languages thing is a fact about myself that does not have anything to do with the game, so I thought trivia would be the right section for it.

Wow where to start here?

  1. User pages don't have quality standards, Smasher pages do.
  2. Anyone can remove information from articles, so there is no abuse of admin powers.
  3. There is always a drive to remove minor and unimportant information, this was a part of that.
  4. Your trivia point about being fluent in other languages is entirely irrelevant.
  5. Your "seemingly random use of falcon dive" is hardly notable enough to be worth mention.
  6. None of your quotes from the trivia policy are relevant except for the noteworthiness part, which I find to be false entirely for the language point.

Feel free to contact me with more questions though. Serpent SKSig.png King 14:04, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

  1. Even if there are no quality standards for user pages, it is still very difficult to take your administration seriously when anyone looks at yours.
  2. Fair enough.
  3. ~
  4. Depends on your definition of irrelevant. But hey, I guess smashers are not allowed to distinguish themselves in any way or form but their results. I guess we're just robots who play video games, right? Whatever, that's fine.
  5. Good thing you actually noticed a source was linked this time.

On another note, instead of just deleting harmless little elements of Smash history and waging war against PM, maybe you guys could work on making the smasher articles more consistent in writing styles, structure and format? Or maybe revamp those silly "player skill" categories that are borderline meaningless? King Funk (talk) 16:51, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

It's a publicly edited wiki, if you want to improve smasher articles, have a blast. The player skill thing will require consensus though. Serpent SKSig.png King 19:50, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

Your fluency in languages (while impressive, if I may) is irrelevant to a wiki dedicated to a video game series. Nous ne voulons pas voir ces trivia en les articles. Aidan, the College-Bound Rurouni 20:28, 23 May 2018 (EDT)

Sorry; I won't till I can make a new account

Hello and thank you so much for the wonderful warning! I was just about to get banned from Mario Wiki. BTW where are all the cheerful bright people who say "I am sorry, but this is not a social website. Please edit more mainly. Let me know if i can help in anyway!" People MUST be stern though. Thanks for telling me, but I have bad history under this username. If you could somehow ban me than let me have a new account that'll be awesome! Then I will really help out. Thanks for cheering me up!:D User: Mario Kart 7 Rules I'm working on it! (talk) 15:47, 31 May 2018 (EDT)

I will not block you because that would be ineffective, and you are not allowed to create a second account under the terms of SW:SOCK. The most I can do for you is change your username, and details of that can be found there. Serpent SKSig.png King 16:00, 31 May 2018 (EDT)
Thanks. I am really happy you helped me. I will try to edit the wiki from now on! User: Mario Kart 7 Rules I'm working on it! (talk) 16:02, 31 May 2018 (EDT)
Okay so after this edit, I will try to only edit the wiki. So I see you are a bureaucrat? I was told that they change names? So I guess I would want my name changed to BlitzWolf8 please. Time to look for things to edit. Mario Kart 7 Rules (talk) 20:41, 6 June 2018 (EDT)
