Wreck it Ralph Movie Appearance
Should we note in the triva or somewhere that Bowser will appear in Wreck it Ralph (For those of you who don't know it is a new Disney movie.)This appearance is not just a cameo, as he is in this villain club in the movie.


 * It already has its own section in the History portion of the page, under "Other Appearances, Cameos and References". - 22:03, 6 August 2012 (EDT)
 * Oh, sorry about that, I guess I should have read the article instead of scrolling.

NSMBU Bowser
I need Bowser's appearance to be New Super Mario Bros. U,not Fortune Street. --114.79.16.126 03:39, 16 December 2012 (EST)


 * You mean the image on the infobox? Please see this for an explanation.


 * 03:46, 16 December 2012 (EST)


 * I think that image is better because it uses HD graphics,also, I need them for more recent appearance,because current appearance,New Super Mario Bros. U artwork image is better than the Fortune Street. As such,I need it. Right?--114.79.19.234 05:21, 17 December 2012 (EST)

I agree that it should be put on the article as the latest artwork. Other users are concerned that the image it not high-resolution enough. But personally, I don't think we need it to be super-large for an image that is going to be downscaled for an infobox anyway. The image itself is good quality, but the size is what others are concerned about. But please don't replace the image just yet. Other users wish to wait a while longer before making a final decision. Thanks.

 * What YoshiKong said, plus the other standard is that the characters in question would be facing the reader. So I doubt the NSMBU picture of Bowser would really fit criteria for the infobox itself to be changed (provided that we find a better "source version" of said picture). --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan!

 * I've never heard of a "facing the reader" requirement. Really, the only policy I know of is on Template:Character-infobox (which the admins decided to write to avoid unnecessary TPPs about which artwork to use): use the latest artwork unless there's something atypical about it (i.e. if the character is holding sports equipment or kart racing ir whatever), in which case the second-most-recent image can be used (or older, if there were multiple unsuitable spin-off artwork). - 09:39, 18 December 2012 (EST)
 * Oh yes! Please see Wikipedia! It uses artwork from "New Super Mario Bros. 2"! Better to use NSMB2 rather than NSMBU! Yes or No? If Yes,I choose NSMBU,if No, I choose NSMB2!--114.79.19.202 01:24, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * What user you talking about? I don't know what user is,YoshiKong. If you don't want to answer my question,i better to replace it with NSMB2 instead of NSMBU.--114.79.19.202 01:33, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * I better choose Yes if you don't know my question is.I think in the NSMBU picture he is not wearing anything.also there is HQ in the Bowser's surfaces.--114.79.19.202 01:38, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * Hello again.If you don't want to answer my questions from above we choose answers from below.--114.79.18.33 03:42, 19 December 2012 (EST)

CANCELLED

Choosing an image for the infobox on the Bowser article.

Proposer: 114.79.17.172 (talk) Deadline: January 2, 2013, 23:59 GMT

Renewed as New Super Mario Bros. 2 from Wikipedia article says

 * 1) This is newer, and unlike the NSMBU artwork it shows the whole face

Use New Super Mario Bros. U

 * 1) This picture looks better and more defined, even if it doesn't show the whole face. It would make a much better infobox picture. Plus the shading helps make it look even nicer.
 * 2) I choose this picture. It looks very epic. Per Coooool123.

Comments

 * Would this be an official talk page proposal then?


 * 05:07, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * Oh Yes! This is official!--114.79.17.172 06:26, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * Voting open for two weeks. It will end in January 2013.--114.79.17.172 06:46, 19 December 2012 (EST)
 * This needs to be reformatted badly

Fixed. But if we are having this TPP, then what was MeritC referring to here?

21:07, 19 December 2012 (EST)


 * The reason is being that the "source version" of that NSMBU picture hasn't surfaced yet, and number two as PTR stated -- it's not showing the whole face. Third, that NSMB2 picture is the same as the SMG Bowser picture pose wise. My assumption is that this anonymous person is trying to get the infobox picture to be the same one that Wikipedia uses (yet, this site is trying to NOT imitate Wikiepdia for good reason). --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 22:37, 19 December 2012 (EST)

Okay, so we don't really need a TPP for the NSMB2 artwork because it rightfully gets a place in the infobox as it is the latest and there is nothing "atypical" about it. But may you please answer the question in my comment above?

22:55, 19 December 2012 (EST)


 * Erm, NSMB2 was first released on July 28, 2012, but NSMBU only came out on November 18, 2012 - nearly four months later. NSMBU is the most recently released game, so its artwork is what the infobox's policy is calling for, not NSMB2. The rule of thumb is that the artwork should be from the game that's also listed in the "latest appearance" line (consistency), unless that game's a spinoff and its artwork is specialized for that subseries, which isn't the case with NSMBU: it's just given stylized, moody shadowing, but there's no hard rule against that, or not facing the readers, or not being big enough, or whatever. - 21:55, 20 December 2012 (EST)
 * I get the two mixed up PTR (talk) 22:00, 20 December 2012 (EST)

@Walkazo – Then is the TPP necessary? The NSMBU art is the most suitable for the infobox regardless of what decision the proposal makes.

23:06, 20 December 2012 (EST)


 * Yep, it's unnecessary, and I'm deleting it and updated the article according to policy. The only reason this TPP wasn't deleted yesterday was because it also brought up the issue of anonymous users participating in proposals, so we (the admins) wanted to decide how that should be run first. For the record, anonymous users are free to comment in proposals and other such discussions around the wiki, but you need an account to vote or create proposals (and FA nominations and whatnot). - 00:59, 21 December 2012 (EST)

Narrow quote
The "Count Bleck, Floro Sapiens, whatever!" part of the quote is really unnessecary, so let's remove it.
