Talk:Peach Blossom

Damage
The official site says nothing about the hearts causing damage. However, should we still state that the hearts cause damage or not?

Incredible Length and Sections
Is all that really needed?
 * In my opinion, it is. I'm trying to find some MarioWiki policy to back it up, but nothing yet.  Here's my arguement:
 * SECTIONS: This article is enormous, like you said. Sectioning it out makes it more visually appealing while helping segment the attack.  The two phase structure of this Final Smash is unseen in any other Final Smash that I know of.
 * EXTERNAL SOURCES: The website description doesn't mention Princess Peach's warp to the center of the stage or the damage delt to opponents. Right now, videos such as the one I mention are our only sources.  A proposal (which will obviously fail) is going to fail because people can put in links to notable YouTube videos.  Linking to the other two sources is just good form when writing articles.  I almost always do it.
 * QUOTE: If you read the whole article, you'll see in the History section that Sakurai's quote is his justification for the attack's inclusion. The attack is not inspired by anything in Peach's history, save a small reference to the "I'm so happy I'm spinning around" thing, which isn't the same as dancing, but the dance is inspired by that, I'm sure.
 * Incredible Length: The Super Mario Wiki is a place for Mario fans to go hog wild and write about minial topics of no real importance to the real world. The fact that we would put a limit on the amount of writing for an attack seems to contradict that.  I could see limitations for items such as the Master of Disguise items, but that was only a consolidation of many pages into one.  The problem was too little information rather than too much.
 * Please comment back, and I should get back to you soon if all goes well with my life... which it might not. Stay tuned.  01:38, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * But, something so minor as a simple attack, I don't think you should really go THIS in-depth. Also, that quote really doesn't seem to fit on this article. If you add a quote to THIS article, add one to all the other Final Smash articles. Exteranl Sources, you have a good point there. Get my point?
 * (this was written before your edit)::Not to make this personal or anything, but I found it a little rude that you just deleted that stuff again before I posted my argument. Can we talk about this?  There's really no policy regarding your argument for deletion (based on what you said about the history page, which may have been a joke ;3).  Your arguements are based on the statement, "It's not currently on similar articles on the Wiki, so it shouldn't be here." Yet it is physically impossible for me to do the same treatment for all Final Smash articles at the same time.  This one took me 2 hours at least.  Also, a Wiki is based on building everything up over time, even if that means some articles are left behind while others flourish at a given time.  You shouldn't cut back on my article because you see it as more in-depth than the others.  01:46, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * And now my responce to your arguement: How doesn't the quote fit? It's in relation to the article, it's from an official source, and, seeing as the attack is from an in-developement game, the use of a developer's quote is justifiable.  But, if the top space is reserved for characters, why don't we move the quote down to the history section?  Point taken about the other articles, but keep in mind my long edits nowadays are rare.  01:46, 26 October 2007 (EDT)
 * Rudeness: Sorry, didn't mean to come across rude. >_> Quote: OK, but, can we remove it when the game is released? Length: OK, but, I still don't think something as minor as this should be THIS long, but I'll leave it for the time being, and wait for other peoples opinions.
 * Hey, don't worry about it. It's after midnight and you probably just didn't know I was still on.  What I'm thinking about the quote is that we should replace it with what Peach says while performing the attack in the final version of the game if it's notable.  I've moved the quote down there to the history section for the time being, and we can decide on that too with the imput of other users.  Is that okay?  We might want to craft a proposal based on the results of this so that this issue about "how long" can be determined before someone writes something like this.  Oh, and are you okay with putting the external links back for now?   01:56, 26 October 2007 (EDT)  EDIT: Nevermind the bit about the position of the quote... You moved it back while I was editing.)
 * First of all, it isn't after midnight down under. :P The quote can be replaced/moved when the game is released. You can bring back External Links. ;) If we don't get much input here, we can make a Proposal on it. I'll leave the article alone for the time-being.
 * Thanks for your time! I'll pop 'em back in.  02:04, 26 October 2007 (EDT)

All articles should be as long as possible. As long as the information is relevant, well-written, and organized well, any article can be any length. Regardless if the subject is minor in terms og the game, if there is information for it, we should put it in the article. For example, I rewrote the Bowser Crush article, which is about one special attack from one game. A very un-notable subject. However, the article is fairly long because of extra information I found in the official player's guide. As such, this special attack article will be longer than others, andbut that's completely fine. If the information exists out there, we should put it in the wiki. I also want to note that no other article should be taken as precedent on this wiki. Just because other articles don't look like this doesn't mean this one can't look different. In addition, all the other Final Smash articles don't have to look like this one. They will all change in time anyways. -- Son of Suns
