Write quotes with ambiguity in a more formal manner
That is to say, for example, a quote written like this:

He told me to follow you around this place.

Is instead written like this:

'' [ Bowser ] told me to follow you around [ World 1 ]. (said to Mario)''

Oppose

 * 1) Why would you change quotes to incorrect and confusing quotes?

Comments
What is this trying to accomplish exactly? And since when do we write You? - 01:53, 5 June 2014 (EDT)

I need this explaining, because it looks like you're changing the example quote to something different, which means that it is no longer a quote from that game.

In general this would only be needed in cases where the subject isn't clear, but we generally don't use quotes like that where quotes are needed, in fact I can't think of any off the top of my head. Can you provide me with a link to any articles where this is going to make a difference? -- Chris 03:41, 5 June 2014 (EDT)


 * I knew this would happen. :P But anyway, here are some examples of what I'm talking about:  RickTommy (talk) 04:19, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
 * My issue is that looking at that, you have changed some of the comments by removing "he's" and replacing them with "Bowser" or whatever, thus changing the quote and making it incorrect.
 * The thing is, that's the formal way of writing quotes with ambiguity - by changing pronouns to the name of the character they are referring to, and putting them in square brackets. RickTommy (talk) 04:24, 5 June 2014 (EDT)
 * The thing is though, that is how the quote is said so if we transcribe it like your way we'll be supplying false quotes.

Create mother articles for Mario Kart tires & gliders
Looking back at a nearly 2-month-old proposal by, I noticed that there's no mother articles for tires or gliders. Therefore, I propose that we create the said articles, so that they have a little info, as well as direct links and photos of the tire and glider customization from 7 and 8.

Proposer: Deadline: June 12, 2014, 23:59 GMT.

 * 1) Per proposal.
 * 2) Does this really warrant a proposal?
