MarioWiki:Featured articles/Unfeature/N1/Petey Piranha

Remove Featured Article Status

 * 1) I still see some past tense. I also see no Super Mario-Kun. Petey must've appeared in the Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time comic. At least one of them. Some grammar mistakes. For example: Petey Piranha appear as an unlockable captain in the Wii game Mario Strikers Charged Football. I know it's just one, but there is some more. Like this one: Petey is going to appear in Mario Party DS as the first person who needs help, but he is replaced by Wiggler, and his board, "Petey's Greenhouse", is replaced by Wiggler's Garden. And in some opening lines, it says In Mario Power Tennis, he appears as an unlockable character alongside Fly Guy, Paratroopa and Wiggler. He can be unlocked by beating the two Special Tournaments - Fire and Thunder - in Doubles. In this game, he appears once again as a power character; therefore, his shots travels faster than usual, but he is slower than most other characters. He is also the largest character in the game, giving him a very large reach, but opponents have an easier time hitting him. All it says is "He." Who is "he"?  Also, I think sections where it says, "Petey", should be changed to Petey Piranha because its his full name, not a nickname. To wrap up my vote, there are now two templates. NSMB section seems to be biased. Saying: "This can be more difficult", etc. Tense tag is put back on SMS section due to use of past tense.

 * 1) Someone can just fix it.
 * 2) I fixed the tenses, so, no tense tag.
 * 3) Per LGM.
 * I think it's quite obvious 'he' refers to Petey when there's an article about him. And Petey isn't a nickname, it's most likely his first name. Just like Donald Duck. We don't call Mario 'Mario Mario' everywhere related to the Super Mario Bros. Movie. The rest are just minor errors, maybe made as a typo or by users who are not as experienced as most of us in English, which can be fixed with one edit. These are all perfectly valid reasons, per all.
 * 1) Per Pokémon Trainer Mario. Fixing that is something that you can do in 5 minutes, then why making a whole proposal? I sometimes facepalm at the attitude of some people in these situations, you know... Also, no tense or rewrite templates.
 * 2) Where in the world is a tense, rewrite, etc. template on this page?

 * 1) I know its very rare to see incorrect tense on this page anymore, but some of it is still written in the past tense. Just look at the first line in Super Mario Sunshine. And just because you took off the tense tag, doesn't mean it can stay featured. You must complete all of the tense errors before removing the tag.

 * I still see incorrect tense in some sections. I also would imagine Petey appeared in at least one of the Super Mario-Kun comics due to the amount of games he has been in and how each comic is based on the game. DKPetey99 15:35, 27 May 2011 (EDT)

@MrConcreteDonkey, saying "Someone can just fix it." is not a valid reason. Also it seems you've ignored other problems in my vote. Tense is written incorrectly. It cannot stay featured that way! DKPetey99 08:41, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Look at MSM section: "This game also marks the first time Petey spits goop since 2004 in Mario Power Tennis, unless one counts New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, which is a remake of Mario Power Tennis, or Mario Strikers Charged Football, since he spits "mud" rather than "goop"." Vaguely written. DKPetey99 08:46, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
 * Okay, I see your points, but add Super Mario-Kun, and I'll change my vote. Also is this line true? "He's also large... Twice as big as Bowser. He is 5 meters tall and weighs 560 kilograms... slightly heavier than a real world moose. He is also one of the largest characters in the series, though Exor is considerably larger, just 30 meters (99 feet) in length and weighing 908 kilograms." DKPetey99 08:59, 28 May 2011 (EDT)
