#{{User|Palkia47}} - The info that was needed has been added. It now specifies what the Yoshi series is; gives more information on the games; and more; so, per Stoobs :)

#{{User:Time Q/sig}}: I think an article about a series of games needs more than just a description of each game. What about comparisons between the games, similarities, differences and so on? Don't get me wrong, the article is good, but it's faaar away from FA status.
#<s>{{User:Time Q/sig}}: I think an article about a series of games needs more than just a description of each game. What about comparisons between the games, similarities, differences and so on? Don't get me wrong, the article is good, but it's faaar away from FA status. Good work on expanding the article! I think it should be expanded even more though. For example, the list of characters is a good idea, but not very helpful as it is. I suggest to explain every character's role in the ''Yoshi'' series. Also, I was thinking about a section about general elements in the ''Yoshi'' series that set it apart from other games - i.e. what is special to the series? Which items and objects appear throughout the series, and what is their role exactly? Sorry that I can't give examples, I've only played ''YI'' and ''YIDS'', but I do think such a section would be helpful.</s>

:Is there something else the article is lacking? I'd be more than happy to add it. {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 09:17, 12 September 2008 (EDT)

::Maybe there's something I'm not understanding of the actual defnition of "Spin-off", but ''Yoshi'' and ''Yoshi's Cookie'' were spin-offs to a yet non-existing series? Also, I'm somewhat confused when it says "First spin-off game in the Yoshi Series". Should it be "First spin-off game '''of''' the Yoshi Series"? We may need to clarify if we're talking about the Spin-off, or the Spin-Spin-off. There also are some past tense issues, but I'll start working on those. Nice expand, BTW. {{User|Garlic Man}}
:::'''Time Q''': Thanks. I'll work on the character bio section ASAP. As for the unique elements to the series, I'll see what I can do, seeing as that I've only played ''YIDS''. '''Garlic Man''': I'm not entirely sure of the timeline with the spin-offs and main games; I pulled it from [[Template:Yoshi games|here]], so that's why it's all off; I can easily fix it. Oh, and thanks. {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 23:20, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
::::Okay, I've added the character bios, and fixed the spin-off problem. Are they okay, or do they need more readjustment? {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 02:19, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
One thing I noticed is that there is no mention about the game [[Yoshi's Safari]].  If this is added then I will gladly support.  {{User|White Knight}}
:White Knight: About the trivia section &ndash; ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' was released with ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' on the GameCube, and there have been several ''Yoshi'' releases on the virtual console. As for your other oppositions: Bowser's section now mentions YTT, the character headers are bolded, with the {{tem|Main}} template beneath them. A section on Yoshi's Safari has been added as well (thanks to Garlic Man). {{User|Stooben Rooben}}
::'''Time Q''': I'm wondering about the entire validity of your opposition right now. The character descriptions have been expanded, and a section dealing with general elements that are unique to the series has been created. Is there anything else you think needs improvement? {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 22:08, 16 September 2008 (EDT)
