User talk:Toomai/Archive 8

If a normal/new user making such an edit summary would immediately/eventually be scolded, questioned, or blocked, how is it that you can get away with undoing edits because they don't favor your opinions (note that here your undoing was just, since the piece of information added by Peepo was extremely superficial, but the reason you stated should not ever be a reason to undo an edit, at least not without discussion) or you're "not a fan" of them? I didn't revert your edit because I've found myself breaking 1RV a few times in the last two years and I wanted to actually discuss with you why I replaced "Banning of Meta Knight" with "Banishment" (to be fair, it could be "Meta Knight's Banishment" or "Banishment from Tournaments," especially if specificity is what you're looking for): I did so to sort of conform with the manual of style which states that articles should not have titles like "Jump" and should instead have the title "Jumping," to provide one example, and section titles should not be exempt from this. As far as I know, "Ban" → "Banning" → "Banishment" for that specific verb (since "Jumpment" doesn't exactly exist), so my edit is correct in nature, but not the most correct available. I instead think it should simply be "Ban." Hear me out: Imagine reading an article on, say, Luigi, and a subsection under a section called "Attributes" is "Jump." "Jump" means "jumping ability" or "how significant Luigi's jump is," or perhaps "how high Luigi can jump and how this effects gameplay" just as "Ban" would mean "Banning of Meta Knight," etc. It is not my opinion that the wording is simpler (I assume in this case simplicity is the goal so long as it's not misleading), but fact, especially in accordance to the definition of the word 'simple.' "Jumping" could be correct, but that would allude to something like "how to jump with Luigi," which, since all characters can jump, is covered in the actual "Jump" and the X/C-button pages; where you would see "Jumping" as a section title on an article called "Character abilities" since it is the most correct there, "Jump" is more fitting in the situation I described, and therefore "Ban" is more fitting than "Banning of Meta Knight;" at least the "of" keeps it from being "Banning Meta Knight," which would allude to the process of banning Meta Knight (which can be covered by "Ban"/"Banishment") or instructions on how to ban him. The "Meta Knight" in there is redundant anyway given the article title. If we're going to go with only "Banning," then according to MoS, "Banishment" is more correct, which puts us right back where we started. Blue Ninjakoopa^(Talk) 22:19, 6 December 2012 (EST)

I punted "banishment" for two reasons:

It sounds rather pretentious as a section title; while maybe technically correct it comes across as a bit informal and almost seems like a non-neutral point of view. Just my opinion of course.
Its root is "banish", not "ban"; while they're certainly similar in meaning I don't think they're close enough that you can just use one for the other.

Given your reasoning I do think that "Banning of Meta Knight" could be improved on, though I'm not sure in what way. Maybe "Ban from competitive play"?

As for your opening, people get blocked for multiple rude edit summaries, not opinionated ones. Toomai Glittershine

Demote Pikamander2?

I think it would be best to remove admin powers from Pikamander. He came back once two years ago for a two day period, where all he did was just ask for his adminship back (he did post in the browser poll six months later, but that's pretty irrelevant when it's the only thing he did). Besides it being bad form to just come back briefly to ensure he still has adminship, he would be hopelessly out of touch if he ever does come back. Nearly every user here wouldn't know him (and vice versa), and the Wiki has underwent some major changes in the time he was gone (such as new policies, different ideologies and standards). One of the most important things for an admin is that they know the community they're administrating, and that the community knows them. If Pikamander ever did came back and is serious about contributing and administrating, he could always get back in touch, make another RfA, and show to the community that he would be a capable admin. Until then, he should have his administer powers stripped, as he would not be a capable admin off the bat if he ever did return. Omega Tyrant 22:18, 4 January 2013 (EST)

This is not a bad idea and I will certainly give it a think. Poke this if it's still hanging undecided after about a week. Toomai Glittershine

The Bold 22:31, 4 January 2013 (EST)

Would this be a good opportunity to test a deadminship process (if only to shut up possible complaints), or would it be needness cruft? Toomai Glittershine

The Zesty 07:58, 5 January 2013 (EST)

I think it would be needless cruft, as he's not being demoted for offenses on the Wiki that people could defend, but for a very long absence and inevitable out of touchness should he return that cannot be disputed. Plus as pointed out earlier, almost no one on the Wiki actually knows him (hell even I don't know him beyond being some admin from the 08/09 era), so it's extremely doubtful anyone would really be interested and have something constructive to say about him. As for people that would complain, I don't see anyone disputing this outside someone who adamantly sticks to the "admin for life" idea, which as we can see with Pikamander (and with Randall should he ever try asking for his adminship back), is not actually a beneficial idea for the Wiki in actual practise.

Melee select/unlock renders

Would it be possible for you to upload the renders of characters as they appear when selected? For hidden/unlockable characters, the stance they are in is also used when they appear as Challengers Approaching, except the silhouette shows their entire body as seen in the first few seconds of this video. Some characters' select renders are the same as their official artwork, like Fox's. For characters such as Mewtwo, Ganondorf, and Dr. Mario, these renders feature them in stances different from their official artwork (Mewtwo for example has its right hand open and extended in the unlock/select render, but for his official artwork his left hand is forward with its right hand reserved. In Ganondorf's case, he has a unique Select render (kneeling forward) and a unique Challenger render (features him wielding his blade)). These images could be notable additions to their respective characters' galleries. blue ninjakoopa 01:24, 7 January 2013 (EST)

We already have the select renders as the palette swap images and the approaching silhouettes as part of the challenger approaching screens. What more do we need? Toomai Glittershine

Another resolution type?

Ja hoor eens vriend

Ik zie niet in hoe het een grappig idee was om de Hoofdpagina Frans te maken. Ik bedoel, Frans is niet moeilijk te lezen, ook als je het niet spreekt, en het is een veelgesproken taal. Daar komt bij dat Frans gewoon kut is. Misschien is het je onderhand opgevallen dat ik je idee heb nageaapt, maar ik kan je verzekeren dat dat puur uit protest is. Dus kies een leuke taal of doe gewoon wat anders, want dit kan zo niet langer!

Question

Why do you think Zamus shouldn't produce Power Suit pieces in her on-screen appearance in SSB4? I personally think the suit should just dissipate like it does in current Metroid games so as not to be inaccurate with Power Suit Samus. --RoyboyX Talk 19:12, 5 April 2013 (EDT)

The justification for the pieces existing in the first place is that the Zero Laser causes the Power Suit to overload. Clearly that's not happening when ZSS starts a match. Toomai Glittershine
