== SAY BYE ITS YOUR LAST TIME IN THE INTERNET and such ==
Hi there, I've just happened to notice that I've been editing the [[SAY BYE ITS YOUR LAST TIME IN THE INTERNET]] to noncannon and that you, at least the last time, edited it back to not being noncannon. I don't know very much about the content of that page whatsoever, but what I can tell it doesn't have to do with loz. How can the [[Valiant Comics]] be noncannon and this not?  For me it doesn't really matter, I just wonder what makes that page cannon information. Also, take a look at the discussion for the [[Wind]] page and the [[Relationship of Link and Zelda]] page that both of us have edited as well. Final words, I'm really a beginner when it comes to writing on wikis in general so please don't be mad at me.  --[[User:Olle93|Olle93]] 23:42, 12 july 2009 (UTC)


== Well, it had to happen sometime... ==


:It is a community page it has nothing to with any realm of the Zelda Universe at all. Canon and non cannon do not apply because it is referring to real world and not the game world. Just like the [[Main Page]] is about the site itself. So those don't get noncanon tags because that is not relevant.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 23:57, July 12, 2009 (UTC)
Hey, uh, Mandi? This is Bpenguin17, who submitted the Wiki Exclusive. You wrote on my talk page asking me to improve the article, and I replied and asked for specifics. Possibly for the first time ever... a response escaped your notice! I've been waiting to rewrite the article until you give me more information, so could you swing by and give me a quick answer? Thanks! [[User:Bpenguin17|Bpenguin17]] 22:37, 2 October 2010 (EDT)


::Yeah, exactly what Matt said. It is a page regarding an event that happened in the realm of the Zelda ''community''. Not the actual series. So, it does not require a noncanon tag.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 01:14, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
:I can't really believe I completely missed this message. Anyhow, the specifics? I think the main complaint was more so the structure, you didn't use any paragraph structure so it was basically just one big block of text which turned off a lot of people. Another thing was probably the informality of it. It seemed less professional and more like a casual conversation between someone. Some things you could do to improve it would be...
:<br/>1) Work on your word choice, avoid using common cliches. Using cliches tend to make the article/story/whatever seem more common and less original.
:<br/>2) Work on grammar and punctuation. If something has poor grammar and bad punctuation, it's a major turn off for people.
:<br/>3) Try to craft your sentences so that it pulls the reader in more, so start off with an interesting beginning sentence. {{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 19:42, November 17, 2010 (UTC)


Right, I get it... But be sure to check what I wrote on the zelda Link relationship discussion page. --[[User:Olle93|Olle93]] 09:52, 13 july 2009 (UTC)

Is this "war" still going on? That last one was pathetic! I can't believe they're still going at it. [[User:Ancblue52|Ancblue52]] 01:55, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for that tip, Mandi. Also, is there any reason why people keep deleting my posts?

:Well, seeing as this is a wiki about the ''Zelda series'' we like to keep our information as clear and unbiased as possible ;) If you need any help with editting, you might want to take a look at our [[Help: Contents|Help Guide]]. Your edits had a lot of theories and speculation in them, that's why they were reverted.{{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 23:48, January 8, 2011 (UTC)


:::Well, I joined this place in August. So that whole "''issue''" was before my time :P That, like now, was people just trying to be idiots.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 02:22, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
Reverted?  They were DELETED!!!


==Valiant Comics==
[[User:Trueblade74|Trueblade74]] 19:28, 8 January 2011 (EST)


Hey, about your continuation of placing non-canon tabs on Valiant Comic pages... For the most part, the majority of us agreed a few months back that we really had no say as to whether the comics were or weren't canon. As you might remember, I was one of the people who was for them being non-canon. Anyway, I took another glance, and realized that they fit into the storyline, and that Nintendo never stated anything about them. This happened on the Skype chat room. Ax, Matt (I think), Steve, and GM were there. We basically decided that we didn't have the right to conclude what is/isn't canon without clues from Nintendo. Your thoughts? P.S. How've you been? It's been a while. :) {{:User:Alter/sig}} 18:11, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
:No, they were reverted. Technically since this is a wiki, nothing is ''deleted'' in the sense. Everything stays in the system and even deleted content can be accessed again and restored.{{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 00:34, January 9, 2011 (UTC)


:Can't say I really paid attention to that conversation, but I do recall the consensus being that they were '''not''' canon. I just asked Matt too, he said the same thing. In my opinion, the comics are similar to the manga. They really have nothing to do with the storyline at all. I just really can not see how they could be considered canon.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 18:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)<br><small>Yeah, I'm still alive :P How's things going with you?</small>
::Your edits are still in the system. Click the "history" button at the top of the article and select the time of your edit. That'll display that page exactly as it was at that time. For example, here are your edits to the [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Malladus&action=historysubmit&diff=250292&oldid=247616 Malladus page] and [http://zeldawiki.org/index.php?title=Great_Fairy&diff=prev&oldid=250287 Great Fairy page].
::Your posts have some interesting facts in them, but you shouldn't make it sound like you're accusing someone of theft. Just point it out in the trivia. For example, your first post is still there in the Malladus page, but we slightly modified it to make it more neutral. Trust me, the guys at Intelligent Systems are big boys. I'm sure they know what the right thing to do is in these situations. {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 07:25, 9 January 2011 (EST)


::Two things. One, I believe that Matt said that he had not read them, and said he really couldn't take a side. Two, I don't think you were there. Anyway, with the mangas, Nintendo has stated that they are non-canon. My thought is that if we push their popularity, and they become better known in the community, Nintendo will be more likely to clarify their status. Honestly, I really don't care which one they are- just that we don't make the wrong choice. I would say that they '''do''' add to the story. It includes a background for Link, new characters, and a continuation of the story.
== Unconfirmed Easter Egg ==


::May I suggest we do what the Star Wars wiki does, and create a "label" which says "Ambiguously Canon"? It is used when there is material which very well may be canon, but has not actually been stating as to what it is. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 18:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)<br><small>Things are going pretty well. :)</small>
Hey Mandi, I came across some very likely easter eggs in Majora's Mask. I wasn't sure if I should add them in to the Trivia section on each separate mask's page or not seeming how it has not been confirmed by Nintendo themselves, but generally it is agreed on.  


:::''"create a "label" which says 'Ambiguously Canon'?"''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIoryLG6qfc
:::Aye. Considering we really don't know for certain if they are canon or not. I'll bring that idea up with the rest of the staff.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 18:51, 29 June 2009 (UTC)


::::I did indeed say that. My exact words were:
I checked the pages earlier and noticed they weren't there, and just to be safe I didn't want to add them in without knowing if I could as I'm fairly new to the Wiki.
:::::[5/12/2009 9:06:36 PM] Matt: I can’t go either way. As I have not read them.
::::A template like that could work. It's need a decent picture though. So as not to look like the other one.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 18:56, June 29, 2009 (UTC)


:::::Alright. Sounds like a plan. :) Let me know what you guys decide. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 19:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Thanks :D. [[User:Skermefaten|Skermefaten]] 20:37, 15 January 2011 (EST)


== Send this message to the others ==
:Yeah, it seems like it could be an Easter Egg. I'll ask the rest of the staff and see what they think.{{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 02:27, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I think this is great. The masks only bear a slight resemblance to the Starfox characters up until the masks that allegedly represent Slippy and Pigma. Those two are practically uncanny. So yes, I'm all for this going on the page. Good find! {{:User:Cipriano/sig}} 21:48, 15 January 2011 (EST)
:::Sounds good, I'll get right on it. Thanks again, I'm still learning the basics around here :). EDIT: I added the info to the respective pages, and was wondering if I should put an image somewhere that compares all the masks with the characters. I'm not sure how or where to put it anyway :D. [[User:Skermefaten|Skermefaten]] 01:01, 16 January 2011 (EST)
If you took a screen shot or something and have the image, just upload and put it on the page next to the information. If it's messed up, someone will look at it and fix it. {{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 06:50, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
::::Ah, okay. I captured it from the video I saw this from anyway. I'll just cite the video since there's no official source. [[User:Skermefaten|Skermefaten]] 12:19, 16 January 2011 (EST)


I quit the Zelda Webmaster forum (you know it, the "it's a secret to everyone" thing) and left my reasons why on there. I'm still willing to work for the Wiki, but I can't co-exist on that board no more, mainly because of Avenged. It's cause Mases that Avenged stays, and it's bs. Anyways, if you guys need me, just get me on my talk page and I'll get on Skype. {{:User:Yusei/sig}} 12:49, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
== Deactivate my account ==


== Death Sword ==
Can you deactivate my account then! That CIPRIANO has been ignoring my request for 2 days and i'm sick of it!--[[User:Hero of The Wind of Time|Hero of The Wind of Time]] 18:16, 11 February 2011 (EST)


Hey Mandi, I just thought I'd let you know there is an editor who is removing things from the [[Hero's Spirit]] page against others' will, and apparently you even reverted this guy's removals as well, but he is turning this into an edit war. If you could talk to him or explain to him about edit wars, that'd be great. I don't want this to turn into another heated argument, but he's refusing to refrain from removing others' theory points, even if they have evidence to back them up. [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 19:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
:Okay, I hate to disappoint you, but the answer to this is that there is no way to deactivate your account. If you no longer want your account, then my suggestion is that you just ''simply stop using it''! :){{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 00:48, February 12, 2011 (UTC)


:Thank you very much for protecting the page. We have a vandalist on our hands it appears that won't have it any other way but his. [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 21:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
::There's also no point in deactivating your account. You can easily make a new one whenever you want. However, if you're that desperate to stop using your account, you can always go to '''[[Special:Preferences|My preferences]] > [[Special:ChangePassword|Change password]]'''. Type a bunch of random letters and numbers somewhere (make sure you don't/can't remember it), copy it, and paste it in the "New password" fields. That should make it difficult for you to regain access to your account. {{:User:Abdullah5599@legacy41961806/sig}} 23:15, 11 February 2011 (EST)


==Red Links==
:::Interesting theory. The easiest route of action is to simply stop using your account, though. {{:User:Zenox/sig|~}} 23:25, 11 February 2011 (EST)


Mandi, you seem to be forgetting that the point of red links is point out that the page needs to be created- not to get rid of them. I would hope that you know that I know what I'm doing, and am already working on this stuff. In the future, just give me a little while before you start reverting my edits, since I'm most likely working on something that doesn't make any sense. :) Also, about the Saria (town) page, I simply forgot to remove that part. It simply shouldn't be stated as a fact, IMO. The game was created before OoT, you know. Thanks. P.S. How've you been? I've been out of town for quite a while, so I've missed all of my pals over here! {{:User:Alter/sig}} 23:31, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
== NOBODY TOLD ME ABOUT THIS!! @_@ ==


:Yeah. Sorry about that. I was patrolling edits, and when I seen those red links, my thought was to kill it ;) <small> have to keep the wanted pages clean...</small> But, I should have given you some time to create the page instead of quickly deleting it. Sorry.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 00:01, 21 August 2009 (UTC)<br><small>P.S. Well, welcome back :) Yeah, I'm pretty good. You?</small>

:No, it's a recent work in progress. It's still being ironed-out. There's still some things that have to be done with it before it's ready.{{:User:Emma/sig|~}} 07:40, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

:::Yep, it's not finished yet! Which is why it hasn't been ''publicly'' announced, yet. You're free to use it though if you want to, just be warned that there will likely be some kinks and maybe even glitches in it. But, yeah I'm using it because I dig the more refreshing colors. :P{{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 18:19, February 24, 2011 (UTC)


::It's all good. I feel the same way about the wiki. I've removed my share of red links that I now think probably should have stayed. Anyway, the red links are disappearing now that so many more people are creating new pages. The "wanted pages" section has gotten quite a bit smaller now. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 00:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC) <small>I was doing good until Firefox shrunk my resolution for no reason five minutes ago, and now I can barely see the text!

::Weird. Is it just doing it on ZW? Or everywhere?{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 00:12, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hey Mandi, this is Zelda4life and you deleted the trivia I put in the [[School of Joy]] page. Was it because I didn't show proof or did you just not like it?{{Unsigned|Zelda4ever|March 5, 2011}}


:::Just ZW. It's driving me crazy. It's also ballooned up before, too. It reset to normal after a few hours. Let's hope it happens again. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 00:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
:Hey, there! Yeah, I had to look through the history to see which revision that you were referring to, and yeah. I remember that one, I just didn't think it was important because I thought that you were making a comparison/reference to scientists in the 14th and 15th century believing that the the earth was flat, which I didn't really think had any relevance to the ''Zelda'' universe considering Hyrule is its own separate world and would thus have different laws, which is why I reverted it. On second thought, though maybe I was just misreading it and it could possibly make an interesting trivia, so I reverted my revision! Also, to sign your talk page posts, just use <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> Thanks!!<br/>{{:User:Mandi2517@legacy41958928/sig}} 03:55, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

::Cool. I was playing it again while I was sick so I was paying attention to every small detail that I could and saw that and thaught the best place to share that would be Zelda Wiki. Also, there might be a globe in [[Sturgeon]]'s house but I'm not sure. Could you or anyone who sees this check on it for me? [[User:Zelda4life|Zelda4life]] 18:44, 7 March 2011 (EST)


::Yep- that fixed it. It happened when I pressed ctrl + X. Thanks a mill! {{:User:Alter/sig}} 01:25, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh boy, Austin is telling an admin what to do?  What madness is this?!  Mandi, before you delete an image, be sure to delete all links under "What Links Here."  Other wise, it will show up as a red link under [[Special:WantedFiles]]. Not doing so leaves me to delete them, which gives me something to do... but you should know by now what I expect from you as an editor and admin.  I'm sure you know the steps of certain tasks, and the  prerequisites to them.  Just try to remember this old rule, ok? {{:User:Austin/sig}} 18:56, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm just trying to bring this article up to the level the others are and trying to improve his biography to be more focused just as you said was your original issue with it to begin with. Other admins have said they'd like to see more detail too, so why don't we wait til I'm done and reserve judgment until you've seen what I'm trying to do with it. All I'm trying to do is give good detail. Do you understand what I mean? Please feel free to talk to me on Skype about it. I'm on there now. ;) [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 02:05, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

::Mandi, the page is a lot smaller than most pages, and I don't see having a lot of detail as being a bad thing, we are an encyclopedia after all. An encyclopedia is for details and information, would you not agree? Other admins have told me they want detail too. Just tell me, what detail could you live with? I'm willing to negotiate, but with the minimal information you are wanting to leave, others just don't want it that way. So tell me, what information is it that you don't want in the appearances section, and I'll work with you to edit out those that you have the biggest problem with. By the way, are you on Skype right now?

But I don't see the necessity of a appearances section, considering he's only been in one game, isn't a totally major character, and also, basically everything stated in appearances is already written at the top of the page. So, it's a little redundant. And no, I'm not on Skype at the moment. Won't be for another week ''(just using the internet on my phone right now)''.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 02:52, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 
::::Well in that event, how about this: I'll try to go through the opening paragraph and the appearances section and try to remove any redundancies for you, would that be permissible? I can understand you don't want us to sound redundant, though we have similar sections like this one for other characters like Tetra and Medli and many others. Cole was one of the major players in Spirit Tracks, so he's naturally going to have a little background to cover. But does that sound like a fair deal to you, and since you only have your phone? That I can go through and try to minimize redundancies and try to weed out things that perhaps aren't necessary? [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 02:55, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 
:::::Well, you can remove what you deem unnecessary if you want.{{:User:Mandi/sig}} 02:57, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

:::Ok cool, and after reading the intro paragraph, I could see what you meant about redundancies. I removed some of those from the intro paragraph and saved those pieces for the biography below. I also tried to reduce overused titles or statements used more than once, though I did add a trivia section to note the debate about Cole's race. Is that all right with you? I'll keep looking for ways to streamline the article, but the trivia section was mainly just to note that Cole's race is debated. [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 03:16, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
 
::::Thank you for your help and understanding Mandi, I think things worked out for the best. There were things that could be streamlined and redundancies that needed removing to prevent boredom, and our combined efforts brought out the best possible scenario where we have good detail but remain to the point on it. So thank you for helping in that effort, and I think your input would be valuable in situations like this in the future. Don't be surprised if I may seek your input on future pages like these to reach the equilibrium we have here. ;) [[User:Christopher|Link87]] 03:46, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

== Link articles ==
 
As '''cipriano one nineteen''' said, they direct readers' interest towards related topics. I don't know why you are removing them?? It isn't unrelated subjects, a lot of ennemies shares similarities with the ones from the previous games (apparence, strategy to defeat them, and sometimes a similar name). More, lot of article here describes the same ennemies, but as the American version call them differently from one game to another, they are on different pages: so we have either to merge them or to link them.
Then when something doesn't suits you don't remove everything. See the Bongo Bongo article: ''Them''
are called ''Aliens'': they are never refered as ''aliens'' in MM, they are called ghosts (and ''spectres'' in the French version). Have a nice day [[User:Jeangabin|Jeangabin]] 15:13, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 
:They direct readers, yes. But most of the links you are adding are like related...''vaguely'' at best. I mean, thus far I've seen you linking things as a ''See also'' because it was:
:a) In the same game.
:b) Lived in the same habitat.
:c) All of the above.
 
:None of those are actually valid reasons to say ''Oh, this enemy and this one are related because they appear in the same game"''. If one of your edits actually relates, I won't revert it. {{:User:Mandi/sig}} 15:17, February 13, 2010 (UTC)
::I originally thought you were removing the See Also sections... but I will have to agree with Mandi on this one. But hey, don't get discouraged to edit! (And you have a point with "Them", its reffed as "ghosts" in the article.){{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 15:21, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

::::The See Also section needs some manner of standardization. We could overfill it easily if we linked all of the articles of enemies defeated in the exact same manner; or by type such as plant-based enemies, bosses etc. So if you want to try outlining what's important enough for it, we can listen. As far as merging based on the Japanese names alone, well we have a rule for being English based. {{:User:Axiomist/sig}} 18:49, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

::No I'm sorry but it was NOT confirmed by Nintendo. It was said on the back of the AlttP box. Later on, Miyamotto stated this:
- "Ocarina of Time is the first story, then the original Legend of Zelda, then Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and finally A Link to the Past. It's not very clear where Link's Awakening fits in--it could be anytime after Ocarina of Time."
source: http://www.miyamotoshrine.com/theman/interviews/111998.shtml
 
Then later on Dan Owsen stated this:
- Dan: The truth is, the text on the box (and possibly the Nintendo Power guide) is wrong. D'oh! If you just ignore the box text, the stories fit together better. Basically, the events in Ocarina are the "Imprisoning War" described in the SNES version's story. The Golden Land was the Sacred Realm before Ganondorf corrupted it. The order of the stories is: Ocarina, Zelda 1, Zelda 2, A Link to the Past. Since Link's Awakening was a dream (or was it?) it's hard to say where it fits."

[[User:Pinecove|Pinecove]] 03:22, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Pinecove, the source you provided, while from Nintendo, is not "from Nintendo" per say. Dan Owsen was an employee and one of Nintendo's top game translators, however, he is not someone credible enough to look to for substantial quotes on the Zelda series, as he did not work on them or take part in their creation at any point. Here at ZW, we look at Iwata, Miyamoto, Aenouma, and even Koji Kondo as some of the more reputable Zelda-ers, since they worked on the projects first-hand and were there during their creation enough to leave credible commentary, even if such information is later on disputed by the fans. So your quote is not legitimately confirmed by a ranking Zelda creator, just an employee, and thus, it is not a reliable Nintendo source. Don't get discouraged, though! =) {{:User:Cipriano 119/sig}} 06:13, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

@Cipriano: I DID provide a source from Miyamoto.
 
@Everyone else: Honestly I don't know how many times I had to say it. I provides a source from Miyamoto and then provided one from Dan Owsen who said he translated the box wrong. Speaking of which, the box is your only piece of evidence in the first place and it was negates. Seriously I REMOVED a theory I didn't put one in.

Well, it had to happen sometime...

Hey, uh, Mandi? This is Bpenguin17, who submitted the Wiki Exclusive. You wrote on my talk page asking me to improve the article, and I replied and asked for specifics. Possibly for the first time ever... a response escaped your notice! I've been waiting to rewrite the article until you give me more information, so could you swing by and give me a quick answer? Thanks! Bpenguin17 22:37, 2 October 2010 (EDT)

I can't really believe I completely missed this message. Anyhow, the specifics? I think the main complaint was more so the structure, you didn't use any paragraph structure so it was basically just one big block of text which turned off a lot of people. Another thing was probably the informality of it. It seemed less professional and more like a casual conversation between someone. Some things you could do to improve it would be...

1) Work on your word choice, avoid using common cliches. Using cliches tend to make the article/story/whatever seem more common and less original.

2) Work on grammar and punctuation. If something has poor grammar and bad punctuation, it's a major turn off for people.

3) Try to craft your sentences so that it pulls the reader in more, so start off with an interesting beginning sentence. Mandi Talk 19:42, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Um Mandi bathroom guy actully is in LoZ he is in a bathroom stall he gives you a heart bit if you give him toliet paper.

Thanks

Thanks for that tip, Mandi. Also, is there any reason why people keep deleting my posts?

Trueblade74 17:09, 8 January 2011 (EST)

Well, seeing as this is a wiki about the Zelda series we like to keep our information as clear and unbiased as possible ;) If you need any help with editting, you might want to take a look at our Help Guide. Your edits had a lot of theories and speculation in them, that's why they were reverted.Mandi Talk 23:48, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Reverted? They were DELETED!!!

Trueblade74 19:28, 8 January 2011 (EST)

No, they were reverted. Technically since this is a wiki, nothing is deleted in the sense. Everything stays in the system and even deleted content can be accessed again and restored.Mandi Talk 00:34, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
Your edits are still in the system. Click the "history" button at the top of the article and select the time of your edit. That'll display that page exactly as it was at that time. For example, here are your edits to the Malladus page and Great Fairy page.
Your posts have some interesting facts in them, but you shouldn't make it sound like you're accusing someone of theft. Just point it out in the trivia. For example, your first post is still there in the Malladus page, but we slightly modified it to make it more neutral. Trust me, the guys at Intelligent Systems are big boys. I'm sure they know what the right thing to do is in these situations. — Abdullah [T] [C] [S]  07:25, 9 January 2011 (EST)

Unconfirmed Easter Egg

Hey Mandi, I came across some very likely easter eggs in Majora's Mask. I wasn't sure if I should add them in to the Trivia section on each separate mask's page or not seeming how it has not been confirmed by Nintendo themselves, but generally it is agreed on.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIoryLG6qfc

I checked the pages earlier and noticed they weren't there, and just to be safe I didn't want to add them in without knowing if I could as I'm fairly new to the Wiki.

Thanks :D. Skermefaten 20:37, 15 January 2011 (EST)

Yeah, it seems like it could be an Easter Egg. I'll ask the rest of the staff and see what they think.Mandi Talk 02:27, January 16, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I think this is great. The masks only bear a slight resemblance to the Starfox characters up until the masks that allegedly represent Slippy and Pigma. Those two are practically uncanny. So yes, I'm all for this going on the page. Good find! — ciprianotalk 21:48, 15 January 2011 (EST)
Sounds good, I'll get right on it. Thanks again, I'm still learning the basics around here :). EDIT: I added the info to the respective pages, and was wondering if I should put an image somewhere that compares all the masks with the characters. I'm not sure how or where to put it anyway :D. Skermefaten 01:01, 16 January 2011 (EST)

If you took a screen shot or something and have the image, just upload and put it on the page next to the information. If it's messed up, someone will look at it and fix it. Mandi Talk 06:50, January 16, 2011 (UTC)

Ah, okay. I captured it from the video I saw this from anyway. I'll just cite the video since there's no official source. Skermefaten 12:19, 16 January 2011 (EST)

Deactivate my account

Can you deactivate my account then! That CIPRIANO has been ignoring my request for 2 days and i'm sick of it!--Hero of The Wind of Time 18:16, 11 February 2011 (EST)

Okay, I hate to disappoint you, but the answer to this is that there is no way to deactivate your account. If you no longer want your account, then my suggestion is that you just simply stop using it! :)Mandi Talk 00:48, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
There's also no point in deactivating your account. You can easily make a new one whenever you want. However, if you're that desperate to stop using your account, you can always go to My preferences > Change password. Type a bunch of random letters and numbers somewhere (make sure you don't/can't remember it), copy it, and paste it in the "New password" fields. That should make it difficult for you to regain access to your account. — Abdullah [T] [C] [S]  23:15, 11 February 2011 (EST)

You deleted my contribution

Hey Mandi, this is Zelda4life and you deleted the trivia I put in the School of Joy page. Was it because I didn't show proof or did you just not like it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by Zelda4ever (talk) March 5, 2011

Hey, there! Yeah, I had to look through the history to see which revision that you were referring to, and yeah. I remember that one, I just didn't think it was important because I thought that you were making a comparison/reference to scientists in the 14th and 15th century believing that the the earth was flat, which I didn't really think had any relevance to the Zelda universe considering Hyrule is its own separate world and would thus have different laws, which is why I reverted it. On second thought, though maybe I was just misreading it and it could possibly make an interesting trivia, so I reverted my revision! Also, to sign your talk page posts, just use ~~~~ Thanks!!
