Hi RK.

Why do you make these kinds of changes? You can't just arbitrarily remove information for no reason. If we're trusting you to alter front pages the way you are, then we're trusting you to be correct. That's two mistakes in less than one week. If this continues, I'm going to have to ask you to stop editing. Be absolutely sure that the information you are adding/removing/changing is '''100%''' correct or you're going to lose your editing privileges.

:::I'm sorry about The Pokémon Company on Bulbapedia it says that company was a distributor not a publisher and I looked on Mario wiki and Wikipedia and APE wasn't a developer either. But if you say I'm wrong I won't change them again. -- [[User:RodKimble|RodKimble]] ([[User talk:RodKimble|talk]]) 01:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC) | |||
::::So two things: | |||
::::#If The Pokemon Company is a distributor and not a publisher, that's fine, remove it from the publisher list, but add it to the distributor list. You had completely removed it, and seeing as the name was right there on the box, that didn't seem correct. The fact that you don't leave edit summaries behind ''like you're supposed to'' leads to these kinds of misunderstandings. | |||
::::#I think you better look at the Wikipedia page for [[wp:Mario's Super Picross]] very closely again; it does in fact list APE as a developer. That's how I confirmed it, plus APE is listed on the title screen of the game. Mario Wiki is not a "trusted source" as far as I'm concerned, but Wikipedia and Bulbapedia are.

:::::Okay I will start listening to Wikipedia and Bulbapedia compared to Mario wiki. However the APE Company if you press on it reads Creatures Inc. Company instead.

::::::Nope, different issue. Creatures Inc. is listed in the copyrights because that Picross game licensed the rights to put Pokemon characters in the game as puzzle solutions. Creatures Inc. had nothing to do with the development of the game, they are only mentioned to indicate that Mario's Super Picross has properly licensed the usage of Pokemon images. No need to add that to the Infobox. '''[[User:Procyon|<span style="color:red">Pro</span>]][[User talk:Procyon|<span style="color:grey">cyon</span>]]''' 02:42, 12 September 2015 (UTC) | |||

:That was your whole research? If you had taken two minutes to look the subject up on Google, you could have learned that Rare only started using the "Rareware" logo after Nintendo licensed them as a second party company. Earlier games like Slalom and R.C. Pro-Am were still published under Rare Ltd. It's this kind of sloppy editing that really irritates me. You're presenting yourself as an expert on the site's subject matter when in fact your work makes you appear to be anything but. Please put more effort into your research before you make these kinds of claims or edits. And don't even get me started on you removing "ZERO" from the Japanese name for Street Fighter Alpha...

Hey Rod, long time no talk. Just wanted to let you know that removing digital titles from the 3DS completion list (One Piece and Sonic Mania) isn't necessary, as Procyon said when he undid your original edit ([https://strategywiki.org/w/index.php?title=StrategyWiki:Guide_Completion/Nintendo_Switch&diff=prev&oldid=808086]), so I'll go ahead and re-add them for now. Thanks for keeping the completion lists up to date. --[[User:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Purple">'''Wario'''</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:E-123Wario54|<span style="color:Blue">'''Talk'''</span>]]</sup> 19:34, 29 September 2017 (UTC) | |||
*Hello there Wario, hopefully you've been very well! Okay, it's not necessary to remove digital titles from the switch completion list. I guess it was kinda new to me I just thought from not seeing digital only titles on other completion guides thought it was the same way. I'm sorry for that and am thankful for Proycon helping me out by reverting my edits and you letting me know. :) | |||
