1. Is it always a good idea to add a source for verifiability's sake?

2. How to properly format citations that [http://www.mariowiki.com/Harry%27s_Shop#cite_note-1 include game dialogues]? It seems that a particular way of quoting in-game dialogues hasn't been devised in [[MW:CITE]] but has been in use on articles like [[Vivian]].

3. Is it ok to cite sites like Niconico which require one to log in to watch a video? (They have some really nice videos on niconico, such as [http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/31873609 tattle collections] which can be used to determine the Japanese names of NPCs in ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.)

4. The Japanese versions of some games such as ''Paper Mario'' don't have furigana. In cases where a Japanese name has a single kanji, it is sometimes difficult to determine the reading of the kanji. For example, in the case of "ゴツゴツ山" ([[Mt. Rugged]]), some editors romanize the kanji "山" as "san", following its on'yomi. I once noticed a character from the Japanese version of ''Paper Mario'' shouting the name in "hiragana mode" as "ゴツゴツやま", so I changed the romanization to use the kun'yomi "yama". But I'm not sure if there's another character who spells it as "ゴツゴツさん", though. In cases like this, is there a rule to use on'yomi or kun'yomi for single kanji in the romanization if the game does not indicate one? I also wonder who's going to take care of the Japanese-language related issues in the post-Walkazo era of the wiki. Neither [[MW:JAPANESE]] nor [[wikipedia:MOS:JAPAN]] have something to say about this, though.

On the same topic, can you please delete [[Special:Diff/3877528|this revision]]? I demonstrated poor judgement and added a direct link to what I sense is a copyright-infringing archive of the full comic. I assume the comic's author, back when they originally posted it, had the protection of some kind of limited license which archive.org lacks. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 10:25, March 29, 2023 (EDT)

:I didn't imply that publishing someone else's copyrighted content is above the law if it's done temporarily, I specifically conjectured the author might've 'ad a loisence for doing so. (For a lack of a better comparison) kinda like how WildBrain can distribute Mario cartoons on yt seemingly at will, but on much more stringent terms. I have a shaky grasp of this sort of legals though. {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 15:30, March 29, 2023 (EDT)
== The Art of Super Mario Odyssey ==
Hey, Glowsquid. I know it has been awhile, but I just wanted you to know that I have removed the concept art I had uploaded from the relevant articles and marked them all for [[:Category:Pages to be deleted|deletion]]. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 21:29, May 6, 2023 (EDT)
