==Foreign title italicizing==
==Foreign title italicizing==
Hey, so there is an [[Special:Contributions/98.37.139.13|IP]] going around updating a few articles, and I think they mean well, but something I was confused about is their italicizing foreign game titles in the articles' names in other languages section. For example, the DK: King of Swing article had no italicization previously, which looks strange when the German title is the same as the English one. Are foreign titles supposed to be italicized? Romanizations are already italicized so it personally looks a little strange to me to have both italicized, but does seem like things are pretty inconsistent right now.

:Hey Link! Sorry for the delay in responding, had a busy week. I've consulted another staff member for a second opinion on this, and it seems good practice to italicise the foreign name as it appears in official media, but not the 'meaning' because it's only a translation and not a proper title. I hope this answers your question.
 
:{{User:Shokora/sig}} 06:53, May 29, 2021 (EDT)
 
:: Unfortunately, it seems that people began to italicize Japanese titles in {{tem|foreign names}} on articles such as ''[[Paper Mario]]'', despite [[SMW:JP]] saying "''Do not italicize Japanese script to indicate titles''". Should we have a rule for which languages should have titles italicized and which not? --[[User:Dine2017|Dine2017]] ([[User talk:Dine2017|talk]]) 02:20, August 9, 2021 (EDT)
 
:::My take is that non-Roman script languages like Japanese, Chinese etc. shouldn't be italicised, since it doesn't look very neat as you said and most of the time it doesn't work anyway (for example, I added italics to ''マリオ'' but it doesn't show, and when a simplified Chinese name includes a mix of simplified and traditional characters like ''超级玛利欧世界'', only some simplified characters are italicised, which looks bad). {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 07:48, August 10, 2021 (EDT)
 
::::I've looked around to see what other sources have to say on the matter ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_punctuation here] [http://www.localizingjapan.com/blog/2011/02/27/italics-in-japanese/ are] [http://www.kt.rim.or.jp/~tyamamot/aboutitalicsinJapanese_E.html some] [https://aqworks.com/en/blog/2016/09/20/perfect-japanese-typography/ examples]), and the conclusion I draw is that it's highly discouraged to use italics in Japanese; you might see slanted fonts used as occasional stylization, but the general concept of italics is not at all to be used like in English - and the same seems to be true of Chinese and Korean.

== Mario Golf 64 Picture Question ==
 
Hello,
 
I am curious, where did you get this Mario Golf picture from? Was this from the original game or advertising? Or was this image made after the game was created?
https://www.mariowiki.com/Gallery:Mario_Golf_(Nintendo_64)#/media/File:Mario_golf_lean.png
{{unsigned|104.191.68.137}}
 
:Hey, thanks for getting in touch. If I remember correctly, that image along with other 64-era stuff was included in an archival press release distributed by Nintendo Spain around 2016. {{User:Shokora/sig}} 07:02, July 15, 2021 (EDT)

== Virtual Boi rippin' ==
 
What tool did you use to rip sprites from the Virtual Boy? I'm considering ripping sprites for ''Mario's Tennis'' for use here, and I wanted to know if there was a simple way or if it's one of those things that requires tricky isolating from screenshots. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 20:17, August 7, 2023 (EDT)
:I've tried Red Dragon before, but I could never get the sound to work (and when I tried fixing it with the options menus, the emulator itself broke and refused to work again until the computer was rebooted). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 11:05, August 8, 2023 (EDT)
::A problem with ripping in that manner for ''Mario's Tennis'' is that the depth-of-field varies, so the opponent's sprite is squashed or stretched depending on their position. Ideally, the emulator would have some sort of OAM viewer to show what specific sprites are currently in play (for instance, Visual Boy Advance has one) or simply have a manner of extracting the graphics from the data (which appears to be what Ragey did for ''Mario Clash'', and how the unused "Cassarin" name was found in MT). [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 02:00, August 9, 2023 (EDT)
:::So wait, how did you rip {{media link|MT-Cassarin.PNG|this}}, then? Since it's unused, it couldn't be gotten with a mere gameplay screenshot. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 13:17, August 12, 2023 (EDT)
 
== User Page ==
 
I saw your userpage, and it looks fantastic. I looked through the source code, and I came across a class that said "font-courgette". What's that??? {{User:Starry Tacos/sig}} 06:01, September 10, 2023 (EDT)
 
:Hey, thanks I appreciate it. That's the name of the web font I used. It's also french for zucchini.

:::I don't remember my line of thinking when I formatted everything, lol. All I know is I can't touch anything in the first ten lines of my userpage or else everything will become chaos.
