• For, However I think a picture of a Capsule in the top-right corner would help spice up the page.-- Bean 06:42, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

I'm not sure what your crazy nom for lingo is referring to, but I think Global Smasher Compendium a top-notch article. -- Randall00 05:19, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

Oh, I see, "Item". Gotcha. Sure! -- Randall00 05:21, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

Nom is nominated, I think -- Bean 06:42, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

That's correct. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 09:08, February 19, 2007 (GMT)

This is pretty much consensus, agreed? – MaskedMarth ^{(t c)} 20:22, February 21, 2007 (GMT)

In any case we need to improve the opening text of "items" and beef it up a little by the end of this week. – MaskedMarth ^{(t c)} 20:43, February 21, 2007 (GMT)

Global Smasher Compendium

• Nom & for, In addition to being a well-written article, it's also an important one to expose to the masses. -- Randall00 16:00, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
• Against. Parts read like a mix between a help file and a guide, others are more encyclopedic. Images should probably be thumbnailed, and there are some that I don't think belong at all. Besides that, I think right now it's important that we highlight articles that will help newcomers see what we hope all articles will look like, and even if I didn't see any problems with this one, it's not very helpful in writing an article about a character or a stage. --Kirby King 17:23, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
• Against, what KK said. It's more of a guide. One of the first things in the article are download links, and in the end there are lot of images. Also, the word "you" and imperative verb moods are overused. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 17:29, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
• 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. – MaskedMarth ^{(t c)} 17:37, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
  • kk, how about now? :^) -- Randall00 21:56, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
    • No. Still, there are a lot of you's, and imperative moods. Also, there are two translations to work on. I can help you with the Swedish one, but I'm a very poor French speaker. – Smiddle ( Talk • Conts ) 22:36, February 23, 2007 (GMT)
    • 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. -- Randall00 16:34, February 26, 2007 (GMT)
