Deletion of talk pages

Hi Miles. Just a heads-up, you can find a list of all talk pages on the wiki here. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 15:59, 18 February 2012 (EST)

Hi.

I would rather you used a different name on All is Brawl. You never asked the SmashWiki community's permission to use the name "Miles of SmashWiki"; permission which you should have sought because by using that name you are saying that you represent the SmashWiki community, and that means that everything you say is representative of the SmashWiki community's opinion on that matter. You are an elected representative of SmashWiki on SmashWiki, but not on AiB. PenguinofDeath 20:11, 4 March 2012 (EST)

That's in no way an implication I am making. I do not speak on behalf of SmashWiki and have never claimed to. Miles (talk) 20:29, 4 March 2012 (EST)

You are the only user with SmashWiki in their username though. After looking over the list of members in SmashWikidians group, you are the only member with SmashWiki in his/her username. When people look around, only links within profiles would reveal if they work on Smash Wiki or not (either that or someone who took the time to search through the member list). Now, some users are lazy asses, will not take the time to search through our profiles. Your nick just flat out tells everyone that you're a member of Smash Wiki. Being a supermod would put you in a "leadership" role, as it is not easy to become a supermod. Since you are a supermod there, an admin here, and have the SmashWiki title, users associate you with being out representative by default. Seeing the reputation you've got on AiB, I am willing to say that people are (I'm only speculating here) scared of you. As a result, they think the other users here are "abusive" people who give no reason for blocks (You only said "Consensus" as a reason for Hamek's permaban). I do not want people to think of us as the big bads of AiB and other sites. Other users also say that you are a bad representative on AiB. Seeing as how the SmashWiki part of your name is the main reason people would associate you with Smash Wiki, I would recommend that you change your nickname so that you will not give us a bad representation to newer members on AiB, seeing as how all the old members already know that you work here.

That's like saying that people judge a city based on the fact that they don't like someone from that city. If somebody is so narrow-minded as to extend a personal dislike of me to the entirety of a site based on the fact that I have the site's name in my username, then that is their folly and I see no reason to change anything about myself based on their opinions. Miles (talk) 22:42, 4 March 2012 (EST)

But you're not just a person from a city, you're a leader of that city. Just like the president of the States represents the country and will thus influence foreign countries' perception of the country, an admin on this site will influence the perception of the site on other sites, especially one that parades the SmashWiki name in their username. Omega Tyrant 22:52, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Your comments have been noted. For the time being, I am not changing it. Miles (talk) 22:58, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Changing his name now could open a bigger can of worms; the uninformed masses would assume that he fell out of favour here, or is no longer part of us, or is just doing something for the purpose of trying to become less of an angry-schmuck magnet. Certainly not our decision, but best to leave it alone I say. Toomai Glittershine The Ghostbuster 22:59, 4 March 2012 (EST)

Really?

Changing the WikiStatus like that was not necessary or important. Do you really want to keep it up? The "Wombo Combo" is not that important. LightningBlue: Music is Power 00:20, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Look at the date, and gain some humor. Omega Tyrant 00:32, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

Technically in California it isn't April Fool's Day for another hour and a half. Sorry man. LightningBlue: Music is Power 01:31, 1 April 2012 (EDT)

You are a Bully

Remove the Protection of CCD's age or else. It's not YOUR article, it's CCD's. He's going to be mighty cross, so have it how HE wants. 58.163.175.172 08:52, 18 April 2012 (EDT)--User was temp banned for this post

I know you

The real yoshi knows you from the MarioWiki. You use the same name Link PWNS (talk) 20:23, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

I only edit rarely on other NIWA wikis besides here and WikiBound, but yes, I use the same name on MarioWiki, Bulbapedia, etc. Miles (talk) 21:30, 2 May 2012 (EDT)

Brawl?

Prepare yourself. Mr. Anontalk 14:21, 13 June 2012 (EDT)

There's a decent chance I might be on later today. I'm quite out of practice, but if I do manage to get on I'll give wifi a try. Miles (talk)

Will you be on IRC when you are available? Thanks. Mr. Anontalk 15:28, 13 June 2012 (EDT)

I'll get on IRC at that point. Miles (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2012 (EDT)

Song

Just because it's common, that doesn't mean it's right. Toast ltimatum 21:41, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

Unfortunately, when it comes to language, common things do become right. Toomai Glittershine The Victorious 21:50, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

"(by extension) any musical composition" Miles (talk) 22:03, 11 April 2013 (EDT)

The recent vandalism

Thank you for fixing that up; I was unable to do that with my rollback. DarkFox01BILL! 20:37, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

Had to do with the fact that the first two vandal edits were from an IP address, before they made an account to upload that image. I suggest using the history of the article in situations like that to revert vandal edits from more than one source. Thanks for keeping an eye out for vandals. Miles (talk) 20:38, 13 April 2013 (EDT)

Hookshot

Can you please delete the Hookshot redirect? RoyboyX Talk 20:19, 23 May 2013 (EDT)

You shouldn't be bugging admins asking them to delete pages; it's their job to check the pages tagged for deletion, and you should assume that they have already checked the category when they log in. If they have not, they probably are still deciding whether it's appropriate to delete it. Also take note of what Toomai wrote in the reason. He said that he would like anyone to remove the tag if they objected to it, which means that he's probably waiting for responses. Awesome Cardinal 2000 21:36, 23 May 2013 (EDT)

That was Dots. BRAWLS OF FURY 21:42, 23 May 2013 (EDT)

I disagree with the move and am still on the fence about going through with it in spite of near-consensus. That is why I have yet to take action. Miles (talk) 22:34, 23 May 2013 (EDT)
