Hi. I think you should try to get less personally bothered at things like Mario's height. I think you're assuming malice on the game designers' and wiki authors' parts when none likely exists. And I also think you should tone down on the strong imagery you invoke from the motives you have of your potential debaters (the "nailing me to a cross and burning it down" part is a bit much, as with portraying people you anticipate disagreeing with you with condescending all-caps). {{User:Bazooka Mario/sig}} 18:21, June 24, 2019 (EDT)

Hi. I think you should try to get less personally bothered at things like Mario's height. I think you're assuming malice on the game designers' and wiki authors' parts when none likely exists. And I also think you should tone down on the strong imagery you invoke from the motives you have of your potential debaters (the "nailing me to a cross and burning it down" part is a bit much, as with portraying people you anticipate disagreeing with you with condescending all-caps).

^ Yes, first of all, calm down. This is a very small thing to be bothered about. I like that you feel strongly about this and want to get the details correct, but you are taking this way too personally.
As for the matter at hand, the source is still valid, however incorrect it may seem, because it is an officially licensed product with an officially licensed description, afaik. Mario's height (as well as other characters') is inconsistent between games, and I wrote there's no official statement on Mario's true height at the end of the paragraph.
