Deletion of Taxi

As per consensus of Talk:Taxi, I've moved the text of Taxi to Transportation.

However, I do not know how to delete the original page. Nor do I think I want to, haha..

Could I ask you to look into this?? - Speedy ( Talk - Contributions - Log ) 10:37, June 17, 2023 (EDT)

I redirected the original page to Transportation. Thanks for taking care of this! Drago (talk) 10:43, June 17, 2023 (EDT)

No problem! Thank YOU for redirecting! :) - Speedy ( Talk - Contributions - Log ) 10:45, June 17, 2023 (EDT)

Can you correct my error?

I started userboxes for countries that we have uploaded flag images of (such as Belgium, Denmark and Chile) but I accidentally named the Denmark userbox “Chinese”. Is it possible to change the name? Super Mario World 23:30, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

Nevermind, PanchamBro fixed it Super Mario World 23:42, July 20, 2023 (EDT)

can you change my name

Hi can you change my name two froggypotter?? - unsigned comment from Charmander123 (talk • contribs)

I'm very sorry, but I can't unfortunately. It requires a bureaucrat (like most things here :P) to change usernames. Drago (talk) 10:30, July 26, 2023 (EDT)

Here is the timeline:

• December 6, 2021: Your first account was named "Nook Gamer 333."
• January 8, 2022: On Kalina70 and Vivian's talk pages, you requested your account to be renamed to "ToadFan700." Neither party was able to rename you as the renaming tool is reserved to directors and bureaucrats, but Drago noticed the situation, renamed you to "ToadFan700," and notified you that he renamed your account.
• October 22, 2022: You created a new account called "Animal crossing Fan."
• December 7, 2022: As "Animal crossing Fan," and on AlexBot2004's talk page, you requested your account to be renamed to "Eevee." AlexBot2004 renamed your account and notified you.
• April 7, 2023: On AlexBot2004's talk page, you requested that your account name, "Eevee," to be renamed to "April." He renamed you to "April." This was unusually a 4-month period, but he made an allowance, as he had not mentioned the 6-month wait period for the first name change, and notified you of the name change + 6-month wait period for new name changes. Not long later that day, you notified me on my talk page (via an anonymous IP address) that you had lost access to your password to your account named April and asked for advice. But before I had the chance to reply, you created a new account named "Spring."
• April 8, 2023: Due to the unique circumstances, I asked you on your Spring talk page if you wanted your username at the time, "Spring," to be renamed back to "April," or if you wanted to continue using "Spring" instead. You agreed that you wanted your previous name back, so I renamed you back to "April." At this time, I gave you advice to link your account to your email, so as not to lose access to another Nookipedia account again.
• April 13, 2023: You lost access to April, notified AlexBot2004 of all of your previous account names, and you created the account named "Charmander123."
• July 25, 2023: You asked to be renamed to "froggypotter."

Especially since the 6-month wait period has not been reached, there is no way you can be renamed at this point in time. HylianAngel (talk) 18:02, July 27, 2023 (EDT)

Deletion?

You put on my talk page that I can’t take information from Wikipedia or copy with small changes. Now that I’m aware of that, can I delete it? Yoshi155 (Talk) 14:57, August 1, 2023 (EDT)

I already undid the edits you made that took information from Wikipedia, so you don't need to worry about having to remove it yourself. Drago (talk) 05:21, August 2, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for replying so late and not being specific, but I meant the notice on my talk page. Also, can you delete the two webp images I uploaded? There’s a barred knifejaw catch webp image and a squid catch one. Yoshi155 (Talk) 14:39, August 11, 2023 (EDT)

Sadly, the policy states that other users' messages can't be removed (with the exception of vandalism or personal attacks). I'll remove those images if you want, but it might be better to convert them to a higher quality file type. PNG is the preferred format, but webp is discouraged (but not prohibited completely). Hope this helps! Drago (talk) 12:12, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

I don’t think I have a higher quality version of the pictures, so I think it would be better if you removed them.Yoshi155 (Talk) 16:15, August 12, 2023 (EDT)

Alright, I've removed them. Drago (talk) 10:50, August 13, 2023 (EDT)

Question

So since I lost acsess to Charmander7 account, I made this one. I punched in the first name I thought of. Hypothetically, could I ask someone to change my name to something else? Just because this name isn't really what I want SunsetBay 10:17, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

You could ask a bureaucrat, but it might be rejected because your old account was renamed on April 15, 2023. You can only have one rename every six months. Drago (talk) 10:40, August 17, 2023 (EDT)

hi can you do me a favor??

please can you block Mickeyminniegoofydonald because of his user page i looks like cranston the blocked user. FroggyPotter (talk)

We're considering blocking all of Cranston's suspected sockpuppets, but I'm waiting for admin consensus. Drago (talk) 11:30, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

Ty can you join me club??? FroggyPotter (talk)

Database error?

Hi Drago, while I was browsing on the villagers' page quite recently, for some reason I caught the Database Error notice when loading Twiggy's page (even though refreshing the page gets rid of the message). Is this error just a minor bug with nothing to worry about, or is it something else? Starry Windy★ 12:35, August 18, 2023 (EDT)

I'm not seeing that error at the moment, but I think I have seen it before. As it's a technical issue, I'd recommend asking Jake! Drago (talk) 14:42, August 19, 2023 (EDT)

RE:Cranston's account

It was my sister apparently for a "prank" but I got blocked for no reason. SunsetBay 13:21, August 23, 2023 (EDT)

Low quality images

I uploaded 3 png images, but the pages have notices that say they’re blurry. I do have higher quality versions but they’re jpgs, so it won’t let me upload them as new versions of the files. What should I do? Yoshi155 (Talk) 14:44, August 24, 2023 (EDT)

If that's the case you'll probably have to upload the new ones separately, unfortunately. If you like, you can tag the low-quality ones for deletion afterwards and we'll take care of it! Drago (talk) 10:22, August 25, 2023 (EDT)

How do I tag a page for deletion? Also, unrelated, but I deleted my Welcome on my talk page when I got it because I didn’t know it counted as a user talk message, so I don’t know what to do about this either. Yoshi155 (Talk) 20:31, August 25, 2023 (EDT)

You can tag a page for deletion with Template:Delete. There's full details on how to use the template if you use the link in my previous sentence; hope this helps! Drago (talk) 14:03, August 26, 2023 (EDT)

"Names in other languages" translations

Hey Drago, I want to ask, if let's say translations on all languages lead to the same meaning, for example, the K.K. Slider song "I Love You", or any villager species like the birds, is it okay to retain those meanings in "Names in other languages", or should it be removed? Thanks in advance. Starry Windy★ 12:11, August 27, 2023 (EDT)

Sorry for the last reply (I'm not an expert on this subject). I agree that it seems odd that all those languages have the same meaning. You may want a second opinion, but I'm leaning towards removing those meanings. Drago (talk) 12:21, August 28, 2023 (EDT)

All translations should remain even if it's redundant. A hyphen indicates that the original foreign name does not have a translation, or in the case of given names, that it does not have a meaning associated with it. HylianAngel (talk) 14:14, August 28, 2023 (EDT)

Okay, thanks for all of your advice, Drago and HylianAngel :) Starry Windy★ 23:49, August 28, 2023 (EDT)

Question

hi how so you become a member of staff?? - unsigned comment from FroggyPotter (talk • contribs)

Full requirements and advice are here, but I'd recommend gaining more experience with editing (and our policies, since part of being a staff member is enforcing them) before applying. Hope this helps! Drago (talk) 12:52, September 4, 2023

(EDT)

ok i read the policies but when it says Use of the second person ('you' or 'we') is discouraged, and any instances of this in an article should be replaced with 'the player' or the pronoun 'they' what dose it mean (sorry for using copy and paste).FroggyPotter (talk) 13:13, September 4, 2

read the policy yesterday and today and i edited purple ceckerfly FroggyPotter (talk) 13:11, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

Re second person: this is hard to explain, but it basically means that the text is speaking directly to the reader. Second-person writing often includes words such as 'you', 'your' and 'we', which is why we often talk about not including 'you's in articles. Drago (talk) 13:17, September 5, 2023 (EDT)

ah! thnx FroggyPotter (talk) 13:31, September 5, 2023 (EDT)
