Nice edits.

Reminder
We understand where you're coming from, but the main purpose is to combine existing information about the gals (specifically Princess Peach, Princess Daisy, and their baby counterparts). So the existing info that was there prior to your edits do count, and should stay there. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! User Page | Talk Page 21:36, 17 November 2009 (EST)
 * Well Merit, I dont disagree with you, but you should try to use the Undo button instead of the Rollback one to explain why was it reverted, otehrwise, things like this happen -- 21:40, 17 November 2009 (EST)
 * Isn't this reminder a little rash? ôo - 21:42, 17 November 2009 (EST)
 * Per Tucayo and Edofenrir. This user had no way of knowing where you are coming from if you didn't have an edit summary, and you should have told them why first before giving them an official reminder.
 * Actually I did when he tried to "restore" his edits that I reverted in regards to the Baby Peach article. When he did the same thing again on the Baby Daisy article, that's where the "reminder" came in. This doesn't call for a warning... yet. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan!

 * Of course it's your decision how you react at the end and I have to respect that, but I have to say I don't agree with the reminder. You both had your opinions and you both reverted each others edits. I can only see two persons engaging in an edit war. Sorry for the blunt speak. - 21:58, 17 November 2009 (EST)

On Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Baby DK's page it says their full names are Mario, Luigi and Donkey Kong. So the same should be done to Baby Peach and Baby Daisy's.

Canon
This is the Wiki's policy on Canon http://www.mariowiki.com/Canon

Okay, I see where you're coming from. The problem is that everything official and licensed cannot possibly coexist as absolute canon. While the Wiki may say it virtually considers everything canon, The Super Mario Bros. Super Show, the Super Mario Bros. film, and Yoshi's Island, for example, all clearly show different origins to the Mario Bros. I believe the Wiki makes an exception to the film, as it is clearly a widely different universe. I notice that film-exclusive elements are usually kept separate from everything else. Though even if you can tie the cartoon and the games together, this still unfortunately involves some unofficial fanon (the most common theory being that the brothers where inexplicably either orphaned or moved away). To a certain extent, the wiki still keeps some amount of distance between alternate media.

But that's besides the point. I don't really wish to go against Mario Wiki's policy - by saying every licensed bit of information is every bit as canon as the last, they are maintaining a needed, unbiased point of view. I'm not saying that Princess Toadstool is a non-canon name, however. I'm simply saying that Nintendo has yet to state "Peach Toadstool" is her full name. The only thing the fans go by is the way the letter is presented in Super Mario 64, but that can be interpreted a number of ways. After all, we do not see the comma after Toadstool. There's also a strange pause after the voice reads Toadstool. Some people might hear Princess Toadstool, Peach - others might hear Princess "Toadstool" Peach or even Princess Toadstool Peach. See what I mean?

The point is, I'm not trying to denounce Toadstool as her name. It's an unremovable part of her history. I'm just saying that there is no other official word on what was said or how it should be read. As far as I can tell, no other official sources tried to explain the line reading, and she was often called Princess Toadstool in supplemental materials even around that time until the next game. That's why I consider Peach Toadstool, as a full name, to be rather dubious - not necessarily invalid, but not altogether official. LinkTheLefty 01:39, 4 May 2011 (EDT)
