Your edits

Hello, and welcome to SmashWiki! I'd like to critique your edits in the hopes of guiding you to become a better editor.

First of all, you might want to work on your tone. Liberal use of exclamation points and all-caps as well as calling out the wiki at large isn't going to help you be taken seriously.

Secondly, you shouldn't forget that SmashWiki is not official, and religiously sticking to official names isn't a goal of ours (with some exceptions, of course). Even the Super Mario Wiki, which is much stricter on official names than we are, still uses the term "overworld" as an offhand descriptor in the context of where the "Ground" themes play. I don't think it'd hurt for SmashWiki to do the same.

Aside from that:

• Edit #1: X is indeed referred to "Mega Man X" on occasion (even as early as the first Mega Man X game), though it obviously isn't his primary name (and in the context of Smash, the name is only used for his trophy in European releases of Smash 4). Again, since SmashWiki is not official, using a fan-name like "Mega Men" a few times probably wouldn't count as "misinformation", though I think using "Mega Man incarnations" like what was there previously would work best.
• Edit #3: The original text, though misleading like you said, was referring to the song playing in the "main" city area of the Metro Kingdom/New Donk City. Technically, a variety of songs play in this kingdom in Super Mario Odyssey, such as a different song in the Underground Power Plant, "Jump Up, Super Star!" during the festival section, or no song at all in the area Mario enters the kingdom in, just to name a few.

I hope you can learn from my critique and become a well-respected editor in the future! —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShootingStar7X (talk • contribs) 15:39, December 1, 2024 (EST)

Thank you for the feedback! I very much understand this wiki is not official, and it honestly shouldn't be, but I will say that I simply really like small details, so I try my absolute hardest to make sure smaller details are "correct", even when it might get a little annoying. Also for the X point, I'm pretty sure all but one example of him being called Mega Man X was a mistranslation. I will also try to have my edit summaries be less hostile, I just get very easily annoyed, so when I see something that is technically "wrong" I just want to take it out in some way, and for Wiki edits that way happens to be insulting every single person who has edited the page in the past as a weird form of a strawman. (Which is honestly very stupid and annoying but i'm usually stupid and annoying so I don't realise.)

Overall I will take all of this into account as much as I can. Thank you! PipesTheVlob (talk) 04:23, December 2, 2024 (EST)
