I would honestly like to help, but this is an issue that you should ask Wikia about. Better yet, go here and ask the community and they should help. Be sure to list all of the details and maybe link to the images you had on my talk page. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  19:58, July 15, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Merge
I'm not BattleFranky, but I can answer the question. The Merge: (insert article here) pages were created when Nintendopedia and the Nintendo Wikia merged. Most of the articles were deleted, but some of them remain as redirects. Since you have adminship powers, you're free to delete the Merge: pages since they're completely useless. Just remember not to delete the page it redirects to.

ALSO: ADD A SUBJECT HEADER. Launchballer just asked you to do this and you said "Okay", yet on BattleFranky's talk page you failed to do this. Please remember to add a header in order to make it easier to navigate talk pages. Thank you. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:23, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Merging
I think I told you this on your other account but I actually asked Wikia staff about this and they suggested that we DON'T do this. Having "more facts" is pointless if they're all stuck in the page's long history, because no one will check there. I honestly suggest to just delete the "merge:" pages and forget all about them. If you want to do what you're talking about, then more power to you but I think we should be focusing on enhancing the pages rather than restoring deleted edits. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  21:24, July 16, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Eric
I have no clue. When I became the admin several years ago Eric was already gone. And dude, this is like the third time you've been asked, but please add headers when you start a new topic on a talk page. Oh, and just out of curiosity, what does this mean: "I am checking because earlier you didn't"? -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  17:23, July 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * p.s.: I checked my talk page's history and saw you ask about being inactive in case your internet busts. My reply: it's not an issue, so don't worry about it. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  17:28, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, you mean if I knew where he was now. No, I don't. Sorry. I checked Google and he made a few edits to Wikipedia in 2007, but that's the last I know of him. Sorry. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  17:57, July 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * First, you don't need to create a new header for EVERY edit you make to a talk page, just when you start a new discussion. Anyway, the reason I didn't ask in 2006 was because I was an admin on a rival Nintendo Wiki. To be completely honest I never liked this Wiki because there were several occasions when people copied articles on my Wiki and pasted them here, and the admin didn't do anything about it. When he left, this Wiki became very unorganized and my Wiki got infested with spambots, so Wikia asked if I wanted to merge and become the admin of this site, since Eric had left, so I agreed. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:01, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

In regards to e-mailing Eric, I don't think that would be such a good idea. He left because he was finished with the site. It's not like I don't like him or anything, I just think he wanted to move on. Besides, he's not active on Wikia or Wikipedia anymore, and hasn't contributed anything to GameFAQs in years, so I'm guessing that his passion for Nintendo is not the same as it once was. He's free to come back if he wants, though I'm not going to try and pressure him into coming back. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:08, July 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Spambots is a term used for user accounts not run by a person, but by a computer that's only purpose is to spread thousands and thousands of advertisements on a Wiki. You can ban them, but they'll always be back under a new IP address or new username. I tried for months to get rid of them, but the owner (note: I was just the admin) of Nintendopedia refused to do anything to permanently get rid of them. Wikia noticed this and offered the job here, on the Nintendo Wikia, which is spambot free. A few months after the move Nintendopedia was shut down. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:11, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

The site wasn't disabled, but about everyday a hundred or so bots replaced entire pages with advertisements. It was just too much work reverting all the edits, especially since no matter what you did they would never stop. 0_o -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:20, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Video games
A lot of them were purchased at used game stores, pawn shops, garage sales, etc. I also like looking through the weekly advertisements in the newspaper to see if there are any good game sales. Last year during Black Friday, for example, I got three brand new Wii games (ExciteBots, A Boy and His Blob, and Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World) and a gigantic plush Yoshi imported from Japan all for $90. When my job doesn't provide enough money for video games, I resort to saving coins. In a month I somehow am able to accumulate almost $100 in coins, all of which I use for video games. One month alone I was able to, no joke, find over $200 in coins. That, in addition to the spending money I get from my job, provides me enough cash to get lots of video games. Lately I've cut down on how many games I purchase, however, because I want to savor the games I buy rather than just play a few hours in one and then go to the next title. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:31, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: R.O.B.
He's not my favorite Nintendo character (they're kind of like children, you can't choose just one) but back on the Nintendopedia one of the first (if not the first) articles I edited was the page for R.O.B. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:52, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Editing
I'm a experienced editor, I know I'm not to copy from anywhere... The reason I edited the farfetch'd article is the double blank-rows between the infobox and the text you added, it leaves unwanted space in the article. I also recommend writing whole articles instead of making more stubs, expecting others to expand articles is not the best way to contribute. Ville10 12:12, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Please listen
Alright, I see you've been restoring a lot of pages that were meant to be deleted. The page for Pac-Cub, for example, was deleted by me because it wasn't appropriate for the site (i.e. Wasn't important). It would be okay for the Pac-Man Wikia, but not this one. Another one was Gallery: Mario. We already have a gallery page for Mario at Mario/gallery. So, I'm just going to ask if you could stop restoring old edits and old pages and maybe start enhancing the site in other ways. Wikia has told me that restoring edits is not suggested, so I'd say that it's best if we listen to them. Thank you. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  16:51, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * It's fine, just please stop restoring deleted pages. I've re-deleted the pages so it's okay now, but please don't do it anymore. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  23:05, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't remember deleting Donkey Kong (character) since that happened in the beginning of 2008, but I suppose it was probably done because I moved it's content to just Donkey Kong, and eventually realized my mistake and moved it back. I deleted Skitty because the contributor who created the page didn't insert enough information initially. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  23:09, July 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand that. There are other reasons I've deleted pages though. I'll give several examples below:


 * 1) One reason may be because the content has very little to do with Nintendo. I deleted the Pac-Man enemy pages because they were so insignificant and would be best on the Pac-Man Wikia.
 * 2) I deleted a page like Tom Kenny because none of the content in his page here had anything to do with Nintendo.
 * 3) Some pages like Gallery: Mario were deleted because we made new pages such as Mario/gallery.
 * 4) Several images were deleted because they were unused. Same with templates. I saw you restored templates for Super Smash Bros. characters and Nintendo systems, but those were deleted because we made new, better templates for those subjects.
 * 5) Finally, a lot of the pages I deleted may have content that works for this Wiki, but ultimately are Wiki-Dumps, meaning someone copied and pasted the content from other Wikis, making it unoriginal for the site. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png  Talk  23:16, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: Adding content
Absolutely. Just give me pages that you want me to enhance and I'll do all I can in order to make it bigger and hopefully better. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  23:18, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Restoring edits
You can restore edits, like the example you gave. Just don't restore pages, images and templates that were deleted. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  23:19, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * Yes, I'll help. I'll keep an eye on "recent changes" to see all the new articles you create and expand them in anyway possible. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  20:46, July 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * Whenever I come across a small image I'll try and find a larger/better quality one. I've been doing this for quite some time now. I haven't been actively searching for the images, but I do replace the images I do come across with better ones when I find them. Soon I'll be going through all of the unused images, directing them to proper galleries, and when I do that I'll delete the small images and, if needed, replace them with larger versions. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  20:53, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Articles
I will eventually, but right now I'm working on another time consuming project... one that I've been meaning to do for quite some time. Feel free to create the articles, because the more Pokémon articles we have before Black and White the better. And when you do create an article, I'll do my best to expand it. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  15:33, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Be careful when editing MediaWiki pages
Please be careful when you edit the MediaWiki pages. Some of the edits made absolutely no sense, such as:


 * Changing edit into erect.
 * Changing the site notice. (Mario Sports Mix isn't even close to being released, and I want more people to be aware of the Nintendo Answers site for awhile)

Some of the edits you made were fine, but please be sure your edits won't alter too much on the site. I would like to know your reasoning behind changing edit to erect. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  15:45, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

Reply: MediaWiki
I understand, but a majority of people know what they're getting when they push a button labeled "edit", but when it comes to "erect", well... Just please, when editing MediaWiki pages ASK BEFOREHAND. I don't want to take away your adminship privileges, because it's not like you're purposefully doing anything wrong, but you just have to ask before you do certain things like that. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  21:53, July 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, sysops are allowed to revert the edits of other sysops when they make mistakes. I think we've already established that you've made quite a few mistakes. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  21:56, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

NO
That's not a very good idea. I suggest that you don't ask Angela about that. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  22:10, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Er, it's not a good idea because it's still their user accounts. Even if they're inactive, they may come back at any moment. And if they don't come back, it doesn't matter because it's still theirs. Just trust me, don't ask Angela about it. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  15:29, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Articles
You asked me to expand the articles made by an anonymous user, so I thought I'd explain what I'm doing at the moment. If you haven't noticed, I'm currently going through every single page on the Nintendo Wiki in reverse alphabetical order and changing templates, getting rid of spam, expanding articles, deleting useless content and making the pages look cleaner. So, with that said, I won't edit the pages you listed to immediately, but when I get to those pages I'll do all I can. Currently I'm in the articles starting with the letter "S" (remember, I'm going in reverse). -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  18:00, July 22, 2010 (UTC)

 * LaunchBaller has deemed it appropriate to keep you banned until August, and to be frank I agree. You were asked not to copy from other Wikis and not only did you copy articles you went out and started importing them. Your ban isn't very long. Your sysop privileges have been taken way from you. -- http://images.wikia.com/nintendo/en/images/b/b9/BentendoSmallLogo.png Talk  19:04, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Block
The reason you was unblocked is because I tried to block you with talk page edits disabled and I screwed up, forgetting to re-insert "2011" in the duration and leaving at the default (three days). This error has now been rectified. See you next year.-- 13:56, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Why?!
Why do you correct the language in Bentendo's talk page? Really, you have no reason to. It's not an article, thus it doesn't need to be fixed. It should preferably be left intact, in fact... - Ville10 16:46, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Pokémon pages
Ok, I see that you complain a lot in the edit-summaries about my work with the Pokémon pages. I want you to remember that I went through almost 500 pages to fix everything that was wrong before and creating missing pages. It's not like I have the time to put my heart into each page, I have other things to do you know. Someone had to do it though, and as you got banned it was up to me. Saying things such as "Why do I always do the work?" and "how stupid..." is just wrong. I did way more than you have, and it wasn't me that was stupid enough to become banned.

Add to that that I have had to go through all the first 150 pages again to fix small mistakes I did, even though you just went through them all and did nothing to fix them. Nobody is perfect, so keep your whining to yourself. - Ville10 18:13, November 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry, I have no reason to block you. I just want you to stop acting as if I do nothing good for the Wiki. Stop acting like that and you're forgiven. - Ville10 18:18, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hi Franky
I always felt that Bentendo was the one who kept this Wiki going. I would help out occasionally, and of course you and Ville10 were extremely helpful as well. I just don't know... - BattleFranky202 20:44, December 23, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Rare Wikia
Wait, you own the Rare Wikia? I just discovered that a few months back, when I was getting back into Banjo-Kazooie! Although, aside from that and Donkey Kong Country, I don't know that much about the other Rare games. Also, I'll get to those deleted articles when I can. - BattleFranky202 06:50, January 2, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, following what you did the last time you were a sysop I wont promote you, even temporarily. I will delete the articles though. Don't worry, I drop by here every day so it wont be a problem. - Ville10 17:26, January 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wait, why have you tagged talk pages for deletion? There's no meaning in deleting them... - Ville10 17:35, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

It's not really about the copying from wikias, in my opinion it's mainly the merging of revisions. You were told to stop but kept doing it. I can't trust someone who does that. Eventually you may become an sysop again, but you still seem to be unsure about how to handle a lot of things. For example, I saw that you added the "Mario character" category to regular enemy's pages, and "Mario species" to a boss. Someone that doesn't know how to use the categories should not be a sysop. Keep your eyes open and look at what the rest of us do and you might learn, then if there is a need for more sysops you might have a chance - Ville10 18:53, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

This entire Wiki seriously needs sorting out.
Twice, I removed those pictures from the infobox for the 3DS, for a simple reason. Articles should contain the CURRENT design, NOT the freaking prototype from E3. Also, there's a table of stages for New Super Mario Bros Wii that hasn't been completed that's been pretty much not edited since 2009. Hopefully eventually, we can update some SERIOUSLY out-dated articles. I'm expecting to find an article about the "upcoming" game "to be released sometime in 2009".--TheUltimateKoopa 16:39, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

WYSIWYG
The term "WYSIWYG" (usually pronounced like "wizzy wig") stands for "what you see is what you get".

By the WYSIWYG editor, I mean not the source. When you create links, instead of manually putting and, just highlight the word, and click the Add link button above.TheUltimateKoopa 22:03, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Active more
I guess it's because I'm hoping to earn more awards for my favorites edits, added categories, pictures, and making at least one edit a day. The other wikis don't really have an award system, and I feel more compelled to help this one out more. - BattleFranky202 00:59, January 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, Ville10 was against promoting you, because you were promoted before, but had trouble using your power... I mean, he said he asked you to stop doing something, but you kept doing it, is that right?  Maybe you could explain it to me, better.  Basically, while I love the dedication to this wiki, but I also need to know if you'll do as we say and such. - BattleFranky202 22:27, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

PKMN
I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I'll say this again. Under first appearance on the pokemon pages, leave it as "Pokémon Red and Green". It's the standard we use. - Ville10 21:18, February 3, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes they are two different articles, but it's that way because most people will know of Red and Blue, not Red and Green. This way both pages are represented.


 * Regarding sysop status, you definitely have improved and are making a lot of great edits. I do however feel that you sometimes make some mistakes which a sysop shouldn't. For example, changing the debut games like you did when it's that way on all generation I articles isn't a good idea. At least ask me first, don't just assume something. Also, last month you tagged Goomboss Course for deletion for no good reason. It wasn't moved or anything. Had you been a sysop you could have deleted it and it would have been gone. That's not OK.


 * I also feel like you want to be a sysop for no good reason. I drop by here everyday to delete and block what needs it. That's all you would be able to do anyway, so what's the use? I feel like you want to be a sysop to feel pride, but that's not a good reason. The admins chose to promote someone because they need the help and because they trust the person. Not because he wants to or makes a lot of edits. You likely will become a sysop one day, but at the time it isn't needed, and I'm still not sure that I trust that you does the right thing with the powers.
 * - Ville10 15:27, February 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Don't ask BattleFranky to promote you. The two of us should decide together who is promoted, and I have said no. If he think that you should be promoted he will talk with me about it. And what do you mean I didn't reply? I was pretty clear as you can see above...


 * It's when you tag pages such as Wario's Woods: Again for deletion that I feel like I do the right thing by not promoting you. If you had the powers you would delete them, and they would be gone. If you're unsure you should mention it on the talk page, not delete it... - Ville10 20:51, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Mr. Mime

 * Oh yes, it's very good! Great job! Is there anything I can do in return? - BattleFranky202 01:33, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Replies
Yeah, see, that's why I usually tag articles for deletion, and wait for anyone to raise an objection, or discuss it further in the talk page before talking immediate action. - BattleFranky202 00:03, February 6, 2011 (UTC)

Once again, stop swithing from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl in the first game field in the pokémon infoboxes. It's not one game, thus the whole title should not be in italics. - Ville10 13:37, February 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, I've been patient with you, and honestly, until now I actually thought you had improved (but just kept making small mistakes). But seriously, are you telling me to leave your bad edit just because it isn't spam/vandalism?! I have gone through EVERY SINGLE POKÈMON PAGE to make a standard in the infoboxes, and now YOU get mad when you undo that work? They are two games, the "and" is not in the title, and thus it should not be in italics. It's as simple as that. And regarding the placement of "Normal type", it just didn't fit where you put it. I agree that it might have been a bit odd how I put it as well, but I made the sentence longer so it's better now.


 * The whining that I'm talking about is when you imply that I'm doing a bad work. I'm not, you are. I'm trying to fix the page, but you change it to a worse sentence structure. Even if I where doing a bad work, keep it to yourself or try to give me constructive feedback on my talk page. Just writing "Seriously Ville" is whining, and it's bringing a bad attitude to the wiki. I've had it with that attitude, so stop it! You have already destroyed any chances to be promoted, don't risk being banned as well!
