   Feel free to discuss wiki-related issues with me below. I will mostly entertain topics pertaining to the WarioWare series (I also accept other topics).

re:Made in Wario Bonbon coverage
1: I'm afraid I can't help you much there. I don't speak Japanese either and I don't know anyone who has the skill or interest for a translation without being financially compensated for it.

The one thing I *do* know is that from what little I gathered, the comic really meant to be a supplemental for the Dr. Mario-kun manga (which currently doesn't have a page on the wiki) rather than a true one-off but I don't think it would affect the section as written much.

2: I do not do edit requests, sorry. --Glowsquid (talk) 23:18, March 28, 2023 (EDT)
 * Well, no worries, cause it took me the entire morning to translate all the dialogue of this manga! Here's the translation. 23:34, March 28, 2023 (EDT)

RE: New featured article
Did it for you, but in the future, you're able to do this yourself if you follow Featured articles. 09:26, March 31, 2023 (EDT)

Re: hq render of dr. crygor
The wiki usually prefers not to have images that have been edited to add parts not in the original image or edited to be transparent in articles (e.g. the file history of this image) - RHG1951 (talk) 11:27, April 16, 2023 (EDT)

RE:"Made In Wario" Diary Quote's
I don't know Japanese and I don't have much time, aplomb, or desire to start carefully researching and dissecting those journal entries to ensure the most accurate of translations. You must ask someone qualified in this language, or simply put a tag over that section to invite volunteers to fix any existing mistakes. 09:34, April 23, 2023 (EDT)
 * I listened to your suggestion and put a rewrite template on the concerning section. 08:39, April 24, 2023 (EDT)

RE: User:PnnyCrygr/sandbox
I like it! It’s comprehensive, especially with all the info regarding his one-off clothing and designs, and the text itself flows well enough. Some bitesized remarks: 06:00, April 29, 2023 (EDT)
 * ”and a mouth resembling a cat's” i’m not super familiar with japanese cartoon iconography, but i don’t think an overbite-y upper lip, even a slightly wavy one, necessarily denotes a cat’s mouth. again, i could be dreadfully wrong on this though, as i have yet to do research on what japanese designers collectively understand as a “cat-like mouth” in a character.
 * ”The gloves that he wears are inconsistent in design: they are depicted as boxing gloves, or as fingered gloves.” this may once again boil down to my misunderstanding of character design philosophy, but i think calling his handwear “boxing gloves” is conjecture. i don’t recall this character ever using his gloves as such. it may just be a case of stripping him down to the essentials, as he doesn’t really need fully rendered hands, and it’s also a recurrent design in nintendo characters (see: Miis) who aren’t known for boxing. simply saying “they have been depicted as either fingerless or fingered gloves” omits any unwelcome suppositions.

Ermm. Hello, respected ms. Penny.
Ermm... Remember ya welcomed me in my talk page? I’m here to chattin' with users. You can send me to the hell, or to the talk. PS: ya look kinda cool Turqie the Turquoise 05:59, May 19, 2023 (EDT)

Thank you! for your great compliment... 06:05, May 19, 2023 (EDT)

Oh. I did not expect such a reaction. O'kay... do you like Super Leafs? Turqie the Turquoise 06:11, May 19, 2023 (EDT)

Featured articles
Just wanted to let you know for future reference, when you nominate an article to be featured/unfeatured, please make sure that the link in the active nominations section leads to the nomination itself, rather than the article. That way it's easy for anyone interested in the nomination to find it. -- 12:39, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

RE:On adding "Gen. Info" section to Young Cricket article.
Yeah, I kinda feel like expanding some of the rest of the WarioWare characters' pages (especially the ones that are smaller). I also feel like adding quote articles for most of them (besides characters with very few lines, like Lulu, Joe, etc.). 7:18, June 19, 2023 (CST)

WarioWare: Move It! Group Pic
Thanks for adding the latest group pic to every character's gallery while I slept. I was gonna do it, but I decided to sleep a bit early because I literally stayed up all night to watch the Direct. 0:24, June 23, 2023 (CST)

Sonic sandbox
I think I saw you once do a proposal on Sonic characters. Removing them is going too far, especially for a series with equal Super Mario representation, so I would have opposed as well. However, I have a different idea of going about it on my Sandbox if you're interested in taking a look. CoolNintendo (talk) 14:24, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

RE: "lost media" sandbox
I saw your message on my talk page. Do you know what webpages are partially or completely lost? 01:16, July 4, 2023 (EDT)

Re:WarioWare manga
All right, I looked it over last night. It's been a while since I've played a WarioWare game in Japanese, but here are my notes on the translation: And I believe that about covers it, more or less. Good luck with future scanlations! LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:10, August 1, 2023 (EDT)
 * First page: This page looks fine, but I find it interesting that the artist has Yoshi address Luigi with "-san". I know that it's usually Toad characters that do that for Mario. Is that common for Yoshi's speech elsewhere? (More of a note to self here, but if you know the answer, do let me know.)
 * Second page:
 * Wario isn't saying "...Why is there something!!" It's more like, "...Not a CHANCE!!" He's rudely responding to Luigi and Yoshi's reaction from the previous page as if they're delusional.
 * Third page:
 * Typo. "It's name? WarioWare, Inc.!!" should be "Its name is WarioWare, Inc.!!"
 * Wario is saying, "I went to the trouble of inviting you, so show a little more gratitude!!"
 * In response, Luigi is exclaiming, "We should be GRATEFUL!?" (Because Luigi and Yoshi are both still visibly injured.)
 * Fourth page:
 * It's more like Wario is saying, "Just you watch!!"
 * Wario's characteristic "ore-sama" doesn't have a terribly consistent official translation, if memory serves, but it's definitely much stronger than "I". Whenever you see Wario refer to himself in a grandiose/pompous manner, chances are, he originally said "ore-sama". I'd go with something like, "This is how the great Wario makes games!!"
 * "First employee order!!" -> "First, (I) order the employees!!"
 * "Just sleep and wait!!" -> "Then sleep and wait!!"
 * "Well, here it is!!" -> "Well, something like that!!" or "Well, that's how it goes!!"
 * "I didn't make it...!!" is more like "(You) didn't make ANYTHING!!" or "NOTHING was made!"
 * "Oh! Did it!!" -> "Oh! It's done!!"
 * Fifth page:
 * "Well done, Wario!!" -> "All done, Wario!!"
 * Dr. Crygor uses "washi" like a stereotypical old man. "Me too!" sounds a little out of his age range to me. I'd have gone with something more like, "I'm finished as well!"
 * I don't know if "let these guys" sounds right for Wario in the next panel. I'd have gone with "make these guys" since he sounds more forceful.
 * The word that Dr. Crygor uses to refer to himself isn't "mad scientist" - it's closer to "gifted scientist" or "genius scholar".
 * Sixth page:
 * Bottom-right is a little embellished. Just "IT STINKS!!" would be fine.
 * Yoshi in bottom-left panel is more like, "Too stinky... I'm finished... No more..."
 * Wario is giving his approval for the microgame, not saying that he's up next. I'd go with something like, "It passed!!", "Good to go!!", or even "Greenlit!!" He says this again to Mona on the next page.
 * Seventh page:
 * Mona should maybe sound a little less formal. I'd go with, "Next is me, the high-school girl!!"
 * "How are you?" "Oh, I'm bad at it." is I think more like "What, you're serious?" "Such an inept kid."
 * "And so the player is damaged!!" would be less redundant than "The player is suddenly damaged!!"
 * "cursed" -> "badmouthed"
 * Insults... Top: "BUMBLER!!" Top-left: "Green BURDEN!!" Bottom-left: "Nuisance to ALL!!" Bottom-right: This one is interesting because it alludes to Luigi's origin, ruiji. This is a little lost in direct translation. Maybe "LESSER LOOKALIKE", or if you wanted to 'localize' it a bit, "PHONY MARIO!!"?
 * Luigi's "Nii-san" becomes "Big bro" in official translations. EDIT: Actually, come to think of it, I think he usually says "Aniki" instead, but it's roughly the same.
 * Eighth page:
 * "One thing's not enough to make money!!" is more "But one isn't enough to make a ton of money!!"
 * Spitz (or Dribble, I forgot if they sound different) isn't necessarily praising Wario, but "Wario-tachi" - the plurality marker is a bit versatile and can be used to mean "Warios" (bzzt), "Wario's group" or "Wario and company" (that's more like it). I'd render it as, "Wario's need-for-speed team takes great pride in this next one!!"
 * Ninth page: Something I just noticed, should "minigame" be translated as "microgame"? The microgame article lists a different Japanese name. If I recall correctly from the games, I think "minigames" are technically the more involved games that you tend to unlock and not the main microgames, but I could be wrong, would have to look into it a bit more. Otherwise, it looks fine.
 * Tenth page:
 * Wario shouldn't have the word "please" in his vocabulary.
 * "If I, the president gets killed, you'll be sorry!!" is more "If I, the president, dies, you'll have bigger problems!!" or "There'll be trouble if the president dies!!"
 * "Tests come at a cost!!" is more "Tests always come at a cost!!" or "Tests always come with sacrifice!!"
 * Eleventh page: Acceptable, but Wario's "Let's go!!" is a little strange. He might be stuttering in a panic, but I take it what he's trying to do is tell Luigi to hit it more recklessly (kanji would be helpful).
 * Twelfth page: It's fine. It's more obvious in Japanese that Yoshi is speaking to Luigi due to his "su" sentence ender and "Luigi-san" (which again, I think is unique here?), but that'd be a little lost in translation. Maybe one could localize it by adding a little Yoshi icon in the speech?
 * Thirteenth page:
 * "As expected of Wario!!" -> "As expected of the president!!" or "As expected of our president!!"
 * "I'm doing the test to sacrifice myself!!" - Wario is not the speaker here. It looks like Spitz is talking due to the Kansai dialect (in other words, it looks like the left text bubble may be Spitz and Dribble, and the right text bubble Dr. Crygor and Mona, or maybe Mona is too stunned to speak because it looks more like Crygor's speech pattern). Something like, "You're makin' a sacrifice by doing the test yourself!!"
 * Fourteenth page:
 * "Help! I can't dodge!!" -> "We can't dodge THIS!!" (Also, Yoshi doesn't say "please" there.)
 * "Good?!" -> "Ah, that's RIGHT!!"
 * "Stop when I say this..." is more like "Do exactly as I say..."
 * Fifteenth page: It's fine.
 * Sixteenth page:
 * "I can do it...!!" is more like "Th-That went well...!!"
 * FYI, this last quote on the top-left is definitely Wario speaking, not Crygor, who's just posing with the other characters in the back. Notice the more aggressive speech patterns (casual "omaera" and telltale "ore-sama" as I mentioned earlier). I'd go with maybe, "If you guys got any bright ideas, be sure to let ME, WARIO, know about 'em!!"
 * Why is Dr. Mario's accent in text but Luigi's isn't?
