Invalid vote?
Hi, I know Ghost Jam's vote on this proposal I initiated used to be valid due to it being rushed out and having an overflow of options as a result at the time, but now it's not since I learned from some of my mistakes and changed it again to just featuring three options. Is it okay if I just go ahead and strike through it? 22:34, 22 December 2018 (EST)
 * You should message Ghost Jam. 22:35, 22 December 2018 (EST)
 * I'll try messaging him using a copy-paste of the above message, but I thought I might talk to you first since he isn't that active anymore. I mean, since you're an admin, I'm fairly certain you could start a discussion on whether to remove the vote or not, as per rule 5 of proposals. 22:41, 22 December 2018 (EST)
 * Rules say you are to message the voter. He's active, so he should see your message soon. Otherwise, I'll ping him on Discord later. 22:47, 22 December 2018 (EST)

Better Image
If I find a better image of something and want to upload it on one of these wiki pages, and I allowed to delete the old image? Dwhitney (talk) 00:30, 24 December 2018 (EST)
 * You can't delete an image yourself, but you can mark the old image for deletion. If it's the same extension, just overwrite it using the "Upload a new version" button below the image history. 00:35, 24 December 2018 (EST)

Reverted Edits
You told me not to remove a comma in a list of more than two items in a sentence. I don't think I did. In the sentence "Yoshi's initial design is more dinosaur-like, with a narrower, longer, more hunched appearance, and shorter arms," I previously removed the comma after "appearance" because the sentence really has only two subjects in the second phrase: "appearance" and "arms." The phrase "a narrower, longer, more hunched" describes "appearance," while "shorter" describes "arms." The former has commas separating interchangeable adjectives, while the latter has only one adjective. As such, I don't think a comma should be after "appearance." Please let me know if you agree.

Also, I'm not trying to argue about one of my edits you reverted (in particular, "Yoshi Egg"), but before I lowercased "Egg" in "Yoshi Egg," I went to this wiki's Yoshi Egg article to be sure. In the very first sentence of the article and in most of the article, it was spelled "Yoshi egg." If "Egg" in the phrase needs to be capitalized, are the "Yoshi egg"s in the "Yoshi Egg" article typos? Dwhitney (talk) 11:35, 24 December 2018 (EST)
 * I agree with the comma removal.
 * First instance of Yoshi Egg and in the page title is a proper noun. I don't think usages of "Yoshi egg" in the article are incorrect, that's likely what they were called in those games. The most recent spelling is "Yoshi Egg", but the article may need to be double-checked. 11:42, 24 December 2018 (EST)

Mario Riddle
Here's a Mario riddle I came up with. Luigi walks to Princess Peach's castle, looking for Mario. When Luigi arrives, he doesn't find Mario there. Luigi enters the castle and searches a number of rooms for him, but he doesn't find him. Afterwards, Luigi walks into the hall and sees Mario in the distance, complete with his red cap, long-sleeved red shirt, blue overalls with yellow buttons, white gloves, brown shoes, and mustache. Luigi calls to Mario but gets no response. Confused, Luigi walks up to him to make sure he's okay. Upon closer inspection, however, Luigi realizes that it's not the real Mario. How did he know? (Hint: He knew this without touching Mario) Dwhitney (talk) 13:48, 24 December 2018 (EST)
 * I'm stumped. 14:07, 24 December 2018 (EST)

Answer: Luigi saw that the red cap didn't have an "M" on it. Dwhitney (talk) 14:25, 24 December 2018 (EST)

Does the answer make sense? Dwhitney (talk) 15:10, 24 December 2018 (EST)
 * Yeah, just wasn't able to get to that answer. 15:12, 24 December 2018 (EST)

Game content
On this wiki's Rain Shower article, it says that Bowser throws paint balloons; in the rules of the game from Game & Watch Gallery 4, it says that he throws water balloons. They do look like paint balloons, but are they paint balloons or water balloons? Dwhitney (talk) 15:09, 24 December 2018 (EST)
 * If the game doesn't say anything about paint balloons, then yeah, make the change. 15:12, 24 December 2018 (EST)
