* '''Nomination'''. OK, I know it isn't pretty. It's functional though. I'd like to see what you guys think about this article (and articles like it). {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 03:59, March 12, 2007 (GMT) | * '''Nomination'''. OK, I know it isn't pretty.

* '''For'''. I really liked this article, it really helped me host my first [[CAST]] when I first entered the competitive scene. Although, i agree with Nealdt, a History section would be nice.... --[[User:Janitor|Janitor]] 05:33, May 16, 2007 (GMT) | * '''For'''.

* '''Against''', per KK and AltAcnt. Though, I think GSC could be a potential candidate if its focus was on its history/significance instead of how to use it and the system requirements. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 17:37, February 23, 2007 (GMT) | * '''Against''', per KK and AltAcnt.

*** No. Still, there are a lot of you's, and imperative moods. Also, there are GSC/sv|two GSC/fr|translations to work on. I can help you with the Swedish one, but I'm a very poor French speaker. {{User:AltAcnt/sig}} 22:36, February 23, 2007 (GMT) | *** No. Still, there are a lot of you's, and imperative moods.

***Well it's as comprehensive as it will ever be in English and I removed the "you" completely now. As to the imperative moods, it's hard enough to give instructions without using "you" but it's more important for the information to be available in its most useful form than it is to scrutinize the tone. Either way, I did forget about the translations so it looks like this is going to take much longer than anticipated. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 16:34, February 26, 2007 (GMT) | ***Well it's as comprehensive as it will ever be in English and I removed the "you" completely now.

*'''Nomination & for'''. I've cleaned up the page considerably in the past two days and I think it's one of our better pages. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 00:46, February 24, 2007 (GMT) | *'''Nomination & for'''.

*'''For.''' Although I would really like to see standardization with the character pages, I like the way this page flows off the page. Standardization should happen after SSBB, however, when we know what to add for every character and page. Good job, Mask. [[User:Oddeven2002|Oddeven2002]] 01:10, February 24, 2007 (GMT) | *'''For.'''

*'''Against'''. Haha, thanks for polishing that moveset off for me, Masked. That's something I've been putting off forever! Still needs info on the throws and other miscellaneous Luigi attacks if comprehensiveness is what we seek. It's an excellent article in its current form, yes, but I'm not sure this is quite the model for all character articles. Also, there's this pile of :Category:Character Match-ups|Character-specific match-up categories. Are we ''really'' going to be able to pull that off? If so, Luigi's article should link to it. If not, we ought to get around to deleting those pages. I have a hard time believing we're going to find anyone who knows a lot about a Yoshi vs. Zelda match-up. -- [[User:Randall00|Randall00]] 16:50, February 26, 2007 (GMT) | *'''Against'''.

* '''Comment''' - My personal assessment of this article: I think the main shortcomings of this article is that it has too strong a focus on Luigi in competitive play, and is not organized very well - as you said, it is not the model for character articles we're looking for, but rather a well-crafted article in a flawed mold. I'd say the character match-ups are peripheral issues and don't play a significant factor in the [[Luigi (SSBM)]] article. Methinks we should begin by adding general information about Luigi - how he is portrayed in SSBM, where in the 1-player mode he appears, et cetera. A comprehensive moveset can come afterwards, but there really isn't much to say about Luigi's down tilt or forward throw. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 22:55, February 27, 2007 (GMT) | * '''Comment''' - My personal assessment of this article: I think the main shortcomings of this article is that it has too strong a focus on Luigi in competitive play, and is not organized very well - as you said, it is not the model for character articles we're looking for, but rather a well-crafted article in a flawed mold.

* '''Against'''. I've worked on this article a great deal, but I haven't really changed the focus of the article. Thus, it's about as good of a technical article as you're going to get, but it's still nothing that the average smasher can / wants to read. Paragraphs are more conducive to reading than lists, in my experience. {{User:MaskedMarth/sig}} 12:10, April 9, 2007 (GMT) | * '''Against'''.

* '''Against'''. Really needs an introduction paragraph above the TOC, which is also ridiculously long. It's just too much for one article IMO. --[[User:Nealdt|nealdt]] 19:43, May 4, 2007 (GMT) | * '''Against'''. Really needs an introduction paragraph above the TOC, which is also ridiculously long.
