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.

== DK64 Stop 'N' Swop ==
Hi, I've updated DK64's [[List of Donkey Kong 64 pre-release and unused content#Stop 'N' Swop|pre-release and unused content]] page with details about the game's scrapped Stop 'N' Swop feature, as per info that has surfaced in a recent [https://twitter.com/Paul_Mach1/status/1352746405182504960 tweet thread] by Rare producer Paul Machacek. I would like to ask if you can proofread the information I added and point out any misinterpretations of the content in Machacek's letter, including the ideas put forth by that tech support director. Interestingly, according to the sixth tweet in that thread, this feature was planned to be implemented beyond just the Banjo games and DK64 into other Rareware titles--should we expand on this instead of just saying "As with other Rareware titles..."? {{User:Koopa con Carne/Sig}} 21:25, January 23, 2021 (EST)

== Super Mario Sunshine ==
Hi again! I hope I'm not bothering you, but I made some pretty substantial revisions to the ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' page (specifically for Characters, Enemies, Bosses, Courses, and Items) over the past few days and I was just curious to know if your feelings on them. Do you think these improved the page? Are there any other parts of the page you feel could be improved? I ask since you were kind enough to reach out to me in the first place, and I really appreciated it! It can be difficult to get a sense of how other curators and users on the wiki feel about substantial revisions like this.

==Re:encyclopedia==
I find that pretty interesting, because I've actually have been sitting on that part of the book for a while now (not for any particular reason, just because I wasn't sure how best to cover it and then I got distracted and had that info on the backburner). Name-wise, in regards those pages, his claim is correct - it's the added US release dates that can be shaky (the Japanese version, naturally, only lists Japanese dates). I'm going to assume he had his reasons, perhaps contractual, as to why he wasn't too specific about it earlier, but regardless, there's still a handful of dates that overlap with pre-sourced wiki. In my opinion, it's a safe bet that they were taken here considering he did say early on that he innocuously looked up the wiki just to see if things checked out. Note that this seems to be a constant irregularity in Dark Horse's encyclopedias, but he says he wants to take full responsibility for these pages, so I'll leave it at that. According to my notes, these were at least: ''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3'' (states "3.13.1994" instead of 2.1994), Game Boy ''Donkey Kong'' (states "7.22.1994" instead of 6.1994), and ''Yoshi's Story'' (states "3.10.1998" which is..neither date). This can also -possibly- include: ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' (states "11.20.1995" instead of 12.1995 like the [https://web.archive.org/web/20110614155658/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/snes_games.pdf site] and [[smashwiki:Chronicle#Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Chronicle]]; however, Nintendo Switch Online apparently cites this date now), ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' ([http://web.archive.org/web/20190725200347/https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/CrcAAOSwwrFdBeNl/s-l1600.jpg similar] to DKC2), and ''Donkey Kong Land III'' (states "10.1.1997" but couldn't find a good source for exact day). My notes ended at ''Yoshi's Story'', probably because I figured as it approaches the 2000's that release dates get better documented and so the rest are likely a match, but I can double-check and look through the rest later. I'm not sure how you think this ought to be covered in light of that. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 14:17, April 6, 2022 (EDT)

Thanks my man, yeah I briefly covered them in [[Super Mario Bros. (film)#Merchandise]] but I could tackle a full article next. Surprise, they're actually made by the defunct {{wp|Ertl Company}}. Seems like every company involved with that s---can movie went under, go figure. I wanted to get around to re-doing the entire poorly written synopsis eventually but that's such a painful chunk of text. {{User:Paper Jorge/sig}}
== Two Questions (for you) ==
First, I noticed that this talk page is getting a bit long. Now, I don't want to be rude, but have you thought about archiving it yet?
Secondly, why does [[MarioWiki:Courtesy#Censorship]] say that it is somehow "offensive" to censor offensive material? I find it more offensive to leave the swear word or inappropriate information as is instead of replacing it with more appropriate information. Kids surf this wiki, and I do not think it is a good idea to teach them bad words or inappropriate information.
By the way, I know Walkazo was real firm on not censoring material just because "there's swearing in it" or "it's inappropriate". But considering she has passed away, has anyone else though about making the rule more lenient? Censoring inappropriate stuff by replacing it with more appropriate stuff shouldn't be a problem as long as it does not degrade the quality of the article in any way, right?

== My Edit to The [[Game Boy (comic)]] page ==
Ok, after looking at my edit, I realized that a dead link and red link are apparently not the same thing. I must've confused the two by accident. Still, shouldn't an article have as few red links as possible? Hence, that's why I removed the "red link" to begin with.

*Wario
*Dribble & Spitz
*Mona

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)
