Nice work! Your contributions reflect the kind of awesome work we SmashWikidians like to see!
A large amount of high quality edits, all of which even I never would've thought of putting. You're on your way to becoming an awesome editor here! ReiDemon 23:21, 26 September 2011 (EDT)


I wanted to do that :P Blindcolours TONDA GOSSA. 23:28, 26 September 2011 (EDT)





Ditto. If you would like tomorrow, I'll help you with the SSBB instruction manual descriptions. Mr. AnonMatchupUnknown.pngtalk 01:02, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Character manual descriptions

I think they would work better as a quote at the top of the page, since the booklet descriptions are meant to be a brief summary of the character. I've done something of this sort on the Mario, Peach, and Olimar articles. Tell me what you think. Mr. AnonMatchupUnknown.pngtalk 18:52, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

I also suggest doing this for the special moves. ReiDemon 19:03, 27 September 2011 (EDT)

Hey. Just a quick note for when you continue doing what you're doing with the manual descriptions, that rather than putting both the Melee and Brawl descriptions as seperate sections/headings, but 'Manual descriptions' as the main header, with Melee and Brawl as subsections (===Melee==-), as it looks nicer that way. I can't give an example, as it would mess up your talk page, but I've corrected your previous ones, so if you don't understand what I mean, use one of those as an example.

Egg Lay nicknamed "Poop" by Nintendo Power

I think that this is notable because Nintendo made Melee, and they also published Nintendo Power. Whether you think the language is foul or not is irrelevant to the notability. And besides, if you thought that this wasn't notable, why didn't you remove this? Or this? Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 19:14, 18 January 2012 (EST)

Since you reverted my edit, I would like you to please take part in the discussion regarding it. No response signifies that you concur with my edit. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 01:19, 19 January 2012 (EST)

N64 art

Why are you uploading it....? Miles (talk) 01:17, 19 February 2012 (EST)

To show what the characters looked like during the N64 era. RickTommy (talk) 01:19, 19 February 2012 (EST)
How about you provide a justified reason as to why we need them before uploading more. MegaTron1XD:p 01:23, 19 February 2012 (EST)
Not sure how justified this reason is, but these days, older artwork is quite underrated. Whenever I see character artwork on other sites, I almost always see newer artwork. RickTommy (talk) 02:00, 19 February 2012 (EST)
We are not a specialized Wiki for any of the series. NIWA places already exist for those, and all older artwork can be found in the galleries there. We have already linked people to character's article on the associated NIWA wiki, so there is almost no need to upload older artwork simply for the sake of showing it. MegaTron1XD:p 02:05, 19 February 2012 (EST)
Mega's correct. If someone wants to see N64 era art of Luigi, there is a link in the infobox on Luigi to Luigi on Super Mario Wiki, and from there one can navigate to his artwork gallery. It's not necessary to duplicate that much content unless there's some specific reason to. Miles (talk) 02:19, 19 February 2012 (EST)

Common nouns

Just a heads-up. Nouns like "control stick", "smash attack", "character", "stage" are to be represented in lowercase unless at the beginning of a sentence. Proper nouns like "Mario", "Wii", and "Frenchman" are uppercase, even when not at the beginning of a sentence. Mousehunter321 (talk · contributions) 22:04, 21 February 2012 (EST)

I'm not sure whether "Smash Attack" should be considered a proper noun or not, considering "smash" is not being used as an adjective but as part of the name of the attack. Mr. AnonAnon.pngtalk 22:07, 21 February 2012 (EST)
We don't capitalize moves such as forward tilt, so consistency says smash attack doesn't have to be capitalized. Toast Wii U Logo Transparent.pngltimatumTransparent Swadloon.png 12:07, 22 February 2012 (EST)
