Re:SMBE JP SML2
Yes, Furiko is mentioned as a smaller version of Furizō and the Mario Zone bosses are only known individually in the Japanese version (not "Three Little Pigheads" or any other group name) on page 76. They were also in the older encyclopedia, I've added that reference. LinkTheLefty (talk) 15:53, 5 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Raphael
The situation is not exactly the same as Big Lantern Ghost, as both that one from Paper Mario and from Yoshi's New Island have different Japanese names. The one from Paper Mario's size is roughly the same as the the metallic one and has a bandage on his forehead, while the one from Yoshi's New Island is bigger and lacks the bandage. And the Lantern isn't exactly the same, so this is why i putted the split template on Big Lantern Ghost. The Big Lantern Ghost from Paper Mario's Japanese name is Big Kantera-kun, while the Yoshi's New Island one is Mega Kantera. -- 04:39, 6 November 2018 (EST)
 * If it gets merged, should "Big Kyutyan" be at least a redirect, since it's Raphael's Japanese name is romanized as Big Kyutyan, and usually, when an english name is found, there's still a redirect to the Japanese name. Take exemple on Slip Slidin' Away (Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3). -- 04:03, 9 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Raven
I guess so, in lieu of anything better. LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:21, 6 November 2018 (EST)

re:Obvious terrible photoshop
I'm getting of the obvious really shitty ones first. I'm a bit more hesitant on the recolours since I vaguely remember finding something that indicates the obvious edit that is the Kreepy Krow render is actually legit, but if that guy isn't able to prove those images aren't fan edits (which DKVine's galleries are full of), I'll just delete them tomorrow. --Glowsquid (talk) 21:06, 6 November 2018 (EST)

"Only" in Sentences
I've learned that putting "only" in different places in a sentence can alter the meaning of it. For example, "The bucket can only hold three gallons of water," means that the bucket holds three gallons of water but does not empty it, whereas "The bucket can hold only three gallons of water," means that the bucket can hold no more than three gallons of water. People who take certain sentences literally might misunderstand what they are really saying. Dwhitney (talk) 12:38, 7 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Updating files
Ah, thanks. That had never happened before, so I was wondering if there was something weird about the image I was trying to upload. Scrooge200 (talk) 17:57, 9 November 2018 (EST)

Your username being hard to type
I was mostly joking. Don't worry dude, I love your name :P -- 19:14, 9 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Spike Top artwork
What I do know is that the "Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia" came out approximately four years after Super Mario World and one year before Mario Clash. If it's the first appearance of the Spike Top artwork, that time gap can lead one to conclude that it doesn't fully coincide with the game. Note that the book seems to have artwork exclusively drawn for it (namely some arcade and Game Boy enemies), so there's a decent chance it was made later. If there is an earlier release of the artwork, let me know! LinkTheLefty (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2018 (EST)

RE: Spirit Sandbox
I'm still working on it, so it's still rough around the edges.

Regarding the Big Bertha thing, I'd rather some discussion actually taking place before slapping a or  onto the page, though, especially given there were two proposals for that that failed, rather than having the template remain there for weeks without any discussion moving the matter forward. 05:10, 16 November 2018 (EST)

re:Mr Yporolsa
Thanks, but I already know that you can upload new versions of files instead uploading a new one. It just said that I can't upload a new version. Idk why, but now it works normal ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

RE: Flower Fields
That something is odd about Flower Fields doesn't mean it's a different dimension or anything of the like. Super Mario Bros. 3 features several places with a unique sun, and no one argues that those places are in a different world than the Mushroom Kingdom. Anyway, I brought the point up on the Discord channel; and an admin removed the speculation about precursors but left the rest, which is fine by me. JaybirdC (talk) 18:36, 17 November 2018 (EST)

Re:Squeaks
You're right, but looking again, the disambig is now completely unnecessary since the name for Little Mouser in The Thousand-Year Door is "Squeek" and not "Squeak" like it stated. LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:00, 18 November 2018 (EST)
 * It seems silly to keep the disambig page when one example is a misspelling and the other is a fake. I'd say it falls under the "too general" exemption. I don't understand why the policy was recently updated to retain conjectural titles and spelling mistakes, but the spelling mistake only applies to one actual subject. Either way, Mario jc already deleted it. LinkTheLefty (talk) 08:04, 18 November 2018 (EST)
