For general editing, testing and blah. Nothing to see here, move along.

Galleries/Need Adjusting

The accepted organisation standard (placement of various sections in the article):

For Character Galleries:

• Artwork (Including miscellaneous artwork found at the bottom of the gallery)
• Sprites/Models
• Screenshots

For Game Galleries:

• Logos
• Artwork (Including miscellaneous artwork found at the bottom of the gallery)
• Sprites/Models
• Screenshots
• Box Arts

By this new standard, Box Arts and Logos are classified as separate sections. Box Art/Logos is no longer used. Sub-sections do not require precise organisation, however any 'Miscellaneous' sub-sections should be positioned last.

Proper Formatting:

In addition to the order the sections are displayed, some minor formatting standards should be adhered to:

• A brief opening sentence describing the gallery. Along the lines of This gallery contains images from the (system) game, (game).
• Section titles (such as Artwork) must use Heading 2 (==), Sub-sections (such as Group Artwork) use Heading 3 (===).
• Sub-sections are never listed unless located under either Logos, Artwork, Sprites/Models, Screenshots, or Box Arts.
• To ensure neatness, "center" must always be used when aligning galleries.

Etc.

Galleries not organised to this standard (Note: Unfinished):

Major re-organizing: Has issues such as heading placement, heading name and size, or the lack of center-aligned galleries.

Gallery	Issue
Gallery:Donkey Kong Barrel Blast	Needs official section names, lacks center-aligned gallery,
Gallery:Donkey Kong Country	Needs logos section, heading size is incorrect.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest	Needs official sections, heading size is incorrect.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!	Needs official sections, heading size is incorrect.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Country Returns	Lacks center-aligned gallery, heading size is incorrect, reorder sections.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Jungle Beat	Needs official section names, split Boxart/Logos, slight reorder.
Gallery:DK: Jungle Climber	Needs official sections, heading size is incorrect, lacks center-aligned gallery, reorganization of images.
Gallery:Mario Pinball Land	Remove Misc? Split Boxart/Logos, reorder sections, lacks center-aligned gallery (some places).
Gallery:New Super Mario Bros.	Needs official section names, slight reorder.

Minor re-organizing: Minor movement of headings, splitting Boxart/Logos, minor issues. Practically fine otherwise.

Gallery	Issue
Gallery:Donkey Kong Jr. (game)	Lacks logos section.
Gallery:Diddy Kong Racing	Merge Misc.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Land	Heading size.
Gallery:Donkey Kong Land 2	Heading size, slight reorder.
Gallery:DK: King of Swing	Split Boxart/Logos, slight reorder.
Gallery:Mario Bros. (game)	Lacks center-aligned gallery.
Gallery:New Super Mario Bros. Wii	Split Boxart/Logos.
Gallery:New Super Mario Bros. 2	Split Boxart/Logos. (Misc. is fine in this case.)
Gallery:New Super Mario Bros. U	Merge Misc, Split Boxart/Logos.
Gallery:Game & Wario	Reorder sections.
Gallery:Pushmo	Slight reorder.

Some questions/notes about Controversies

Updated Notes

In order from most important to least important. Birdo's Gender. It certainly deserves a mention, but the sources that I've found list it more like a weird fact instead of a true controversy. Though, if the issue is sourced, well written and unbiased it should be added by someone who can analyze it better. For now I've left it unmentioned. Ashley: Yeah, the citation is dated. This one seems to be the hardest to find official quotes and statements for. Also, the controversial side of the topic is hardly addressed anywhere, it seems to just be 'Oh lol Ashley's song has subliminal messages o_O creepy.' or stuff like that. Actually, should I include a link in the external links to the sped up version of the song, or should someone upload an .ogg file of it? New Super Chick Sisters: Probably why the title includes 'Mario-related'. Should this actually go in Web references? Universal: IS IT ACCURATE? PETA: The sources are all there. This one was the easiest to get info on. Does it need images? Mario Party 8: " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " Other lawsuits: Can anyone think of another significant case involving Nintendo? Other notes: I had to include a warning in the introduction, but should it have a template instead?
