<ref>

Hi, I noticed you've added <ref></ref> tags to a few pages. Please be aware that these tags won't function properly unless you also add a <references/> tag later on in the page, as this causes the actual source list to render. Thanks and keep contributing! - 2257^(Talk) 22:46, 5 November 2009 (EST)

Thanks for cleaning up that one. I got sloppy. Most things Lakitu-related in Japanese are some sort of reference to Jugemu's very long name; I thought I had a handle on Lakitology but I'm still learning things. The only exception I've seen so far is Laki's Japanese name and I don't have great faith in the source for that (one Japanese page listing PM2 characters); even that has the Ju- prefix. Sarisa

Taxonomy

Sorry for taking so long to respond (to both this and the ff.net PM), but you caught me at a busy time (relax on the holidays? Yeah, right). I'm also busy reorganizing my own taxonomic Koopa plans, but I'll tell you about that when I respond to your PM (some time within the next 48 hours, hopefully). I'll also do a full critique in the PM, since then all our taxonomy conversations will be in one place, but I'll tell you right now that it looks great! I particularly like how you bold the common species and underline the known intelligent ones; the pictures are good too (I have a pipe-dream of including little sprites in most entries of my own taxonomy). My only suggestion is that you just use asterisks (*) for the titles: for the familial exposition, indent with colons ( : ), otherwise it's hard to see the divisions, especially with the smaller families. However... that advice is sorta pointless, because "fan creations" like taxonomy aren't allowed on the Wiki anymore (hence I had to remove mine). I don't want to remove yours too, but it has to come down, I'm afraid (even though I've seen people with userbox towers that take up more space, a rule's a rule). Since you're my friend, I'm not removing it right off the bat, but you will have to get the page deleted soon. Sorry :( - Walkazo 04:11, 1 January 2010 (EST)
