Welcome to Wikipedia! edit

Hello Nintendonien, welcome to Wikipedia!

I noticed nobody had said hi yet... Hi!

If you feel a change is needed, feel free to make it yourself! Wikipedia is a wiki, so anyone (yourself included) can edit any article by following the Edit this page link. Wikipedia convention is to be bold and not be afraid of making mistakes. If you're not sure how editing works, have a look at How to edit a page, or try out the Sandbox to test your editing skills.

You might like some of these links and tips:

If, for some reason, you are unable to fix a problem yourself, feel free to ask someone else to do it. Wikipedia has a vibrant community of contributors who have a wide range of skills and specialties, and many of them would be glad to help. As well as the wiki community pages there are IRC Channels, where you are more than welcome to ask for assistance.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Thanks and happy editing, -- Alf melmac 00:01, 27 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image copyright problem with Image:Alma.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Alma.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 08:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Manipogo edit

I noticed that the changes you made to the Manipogo page was mostly copied directly from the link you added to the page. Text that you add to Wikipedia must be licensed under the GFDL. Which means that any text you see on a webpage is likely not suitable to cut-and-paste into Wikipedia as most webpages (unless otherwise stated) are covered by copyright and not licensed under the GFDL or compatible license.

Changing one word out of every ten doesn't let you get around copyright. You have to compeltely rewrite the whole thing in your own words. Try writing without looking at the page you are copying from at all. Qutezuce 05:13, 17 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Dr. Mario Character edit

Sorry, but I had to redirect Dr. Mario Character to Mario. Dr. Mario is Mario, and thusly should be in the Mario article. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Just because he has a Doctor label does not mean that he warrants his own article. Dr. Mario and Mario are the same people. Just like Wario in WarioWare, Inc. is no different from Wario in Wario Land. - A Link to the Past (talk) 00:53, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
And that is not the worst example either? Young Link = Link, yet Young Link is treated as a separate character. And we all know they aren't. Dr. Mario = Mario with a PhD. No more deserving of an article than Carpenter Mario, Plumber Mario or Chef Mario. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply
That would work, had Baby Mario been its own article. It's not. Baby Mario, Dr. Mario and Mario are the exact same people. They are not different people who happen to share the name Mario, alternate versions of Mario or clones of Mario. Baby Mario is Mario, Dr. Mario is Mario, Mario is Mario. The manual of Dr. Mario states that Dr. Mario is Mario, who decided to become a doctor to cure the common cold. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

A statement you added. edit

Hi. You recently added this statement—It has also been discussed with the Chinese government to make video games a demonstration sport in the Olympics.—to this section of the 2008 Summer Olympics page. I am not doubting the credibility of this, but I will remove it soon if you are not able to provide a citation for this information either on the page or to me (and I'll put it on). I appreciate your help! J@red  18:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

OK, thanks for your source. That's actually pretty interesting. Thanks for adding that tidbit to the page! J@red  19:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
