MarioWiki:Featured articles/N1/Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Support

 * 1) This article is very detailed,has much images,sections this must be a FA!
 * 2) - Now that it is all organized (with some very very minor things I would like to change) this is perfect for a FA. MATEOELBACAN, I was going to nominate it...but that's okay. This has every single requirement all completed.
 * 3) - Like mateo said, this article has "much images" and is the proper length with enough detail.
 * 4) - Like all the reasons mention above, Dimenshi will side with the support as usual. Thy article has many great features and touches many other articles don't have. It is amazingly outstanding, and met every requirement known to FA's. This will probably pass in a short while...
 * 5) Luigi456 - this Article is really good.
 * 6) Mario304 - Per Luigi456.
 * 7) - Quite the article. I'd have to say this is the first, and best piece of work that the "generation" of users that I belong to has done by far. I wish we could do this well on some of the other articles :P
 * 8) User:Super Bowser Jr. - Per MATEOELBACAN

Oppose

 * 1) - Actually, we need more pictures, there should be one at least in every section. Pictures can be added near the end of the story and on the overworld section and the battle sections under it . Also, in the enemies section, there are sprites of two random enemies, and they look stupid there. More work should be done on pictures. I'll support once there's more, and I'll even add some pics myself here.
 * 2) - per Fawful. The Gameplay Differences and Enemies section is in especially in need of images.
 * 3) - Although there are plentiful images in some sections, some other sections (especially near the end of storyline part) are barren wastelands of text. Those random sprites of enemies should get removed also.
 * 4) - No offense, but both the battle section is s*** bad. It has information that is not true and also some of the trivia could fit in the gameplay differences. Gameplay differeces in Trivia. And the release difference could just be in the trivia.
 * 5) - It's surprisingly incorrect in places.
 * 6) - The article is riddled with bad writing, grammar issues, and typos that cannot be corrected in a simple sweep. They are so ingrained in the writing that it must be looked over several times and re-written again and again before it's anywhere near readable. The Enemies sections is largely composed of nothing but tables, which should be split off into a Bestiary article akin to the Paper Mario article. This article is close to being filled-out, but it's only an essay seemingly written the night before due-date. It needs polishing.

Removal of Opposes

 * 1) - Added pictures (and a lot of them) to the sections that you complained about. So, technically, your vote is useless, so might as well get rid of it.
 * 2) - Per Mario Bloops,we only need to add 1 or 2 images to the History section and it's finished.

Comments
Needs a longer summary for a nice introduction
 * If you think so, you should actually oppose.

 * Redstar, before you go changing everything, you got to think about what I said on the Superstar saga comments. We just can go fit every detail to the last atom added or else it would be very unorganized, very long (bore users half-way through it), and it would be plain out chaos!!! And if you want to talk about the grammar, and how it has to be prefect, then right it yourself!!!
 * Per my response to you on the MarioWiki:Featured Articles/N/Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga page, high standards for a supposedly high-standard honor is not a bad thing. I am not asking for "every detail to the last atom" to be added. I am simply asking for all relevant information to be added and organized in the proper way. Boring users is not our concern. If they don't want to read the "boring" sections, they can either not read them or just not come to the page. Redstar 00:26, 29 November 2009 (EST)


 * It's well written, but it needs two images to fill the gap between the image of Fawful Express and the cake at the end of the game.--

I've added tags to all the sections that I feel needs work. It's far worse than I initially expected. As before, bad writing, grammar issues, and typos are riddled throughout the text of this article. I also ran into text that seemingly was added out of no where, which implies vandalism, but I really don't know. I recommend these areas be taken care of before I change my vote.

 * Other Bestiary??!!-WTF?!-- 08:58, 29 November 2009 (EST)
 * It's the standard that technically must be done anyways. Just make a motion to split it, then work on it later while this article can be featured without it. Redstar 09:01, 29 November 2009 (EST)
 * It not a standard. There's no "All FAs have to have a bestiary" or anything like that for the FA requirements. Check the Featured Articles page and look under the FA Standards section.
 * Per FF65, why does it have to be the Mario & Luigi Series so suddenly. We have bestiary for Paper Mario, because that is because the game has a bestiary since you can tattle on enemies. There is not bestiary related stuff in the Mario & Luigi series! Also, why this series, why are you not changing or rewriting stuff on other articles that are in worse shape than this one. This one and there series of Mario & Luigi have great articles, with a flaw or a few, but that is beyond my point. We don't need to rewrite entire pages and sections just to change the page into what you want it to look like. The bestiary stuff, we don't need it for this series!!!!! Please, many users worked hours, days, even weeks on this just for it to reach a high level like this. Don't change it just because you have major issues with grammar or small information is missing from the already long story section!!!!!!!!!!!
 * Why not make this into a proposal? Other users can choose on if there should or shouldn't be a bestiary.
 * I think that should be good
 * Proposal time then!
 * It is a standard. I didn't imply it was a standard for Featured Articles, but for game articles in general. I am bringing it up now because you guys want to Feature this article, and I feel it's not good enough for that. It therefore gets seniority over the other articles, because no one is suggesting that those are good. Baby Mario Bloops: "many" users may have worked for weeks, as you say, but the article does not have a "high level". Anyone with a basic high school-level English reading skill can see that. And I'm an English major, so obviously I can see all the issues with writing. MATEOELBACAN doesn't even appear to have English as a first-language, and he's the one writing most of this. Seriously, the article needs work. Redstar 22:37, 29 November 2009 (EST)


 * Yes,my first language is Spanish, but what's wrong with it?!, I'm good with English!, and I only want to help!
