Hello! When naming game titles, please remember to ''italicise'' them. You do that simply by adding two apostrophes before and after the name, so for ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', you type <code><nowiki>''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''</nowiki></code> {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 05:17, 16 March 2018 (EDT) | Hello!

Hi again. Just letting you know as I've noticed you've been omitting them often, but in English we often use definite and indefinite articles "the" and "a" before different things. "The" is used when referring to specific things or something already known to the reader (e.g. "Similar to '''the''' Rainbow Star from '''the''' ''Super Mario Galaxy'' games"), while "a" is used when talking about a thing in general (e.g. "Rosalina was given '''a''' slightly higher-pitched voice"). You can probably find some material on this like [https://www.englishpage.com/articles/a-an-vs-the.htm this] online. | |||
