The 'Shroom Spotlight

Written by: RHG1951 (talk)

Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom, and welcome to Spotlight. Spotlight is a community project which aims to fix up the articles on the wiki which have issues. These issues can range from poor writing, to a lack of images, to even just needing a credible source.

It's the holiday season which means gift-giving is abound. Whether that gift is from family, friends, or yourself, I hope it's something you'll cherish in the years to come. For me, there's no greater gift than for you readers taking the time out of your day to read and complete the focuses (with the exception of a Seattle Mudcrabs shirt. That's a thing I'd really like to have). Before I give my wish list that's in the form of Spotlight focuses, let's go over last month's focuses.

Last month's performance was pretty good! BMfan08 (talk) created the article for Castle Hassle, LadySophie17 (talk) expanded Power Shot (Mario Golf series) so that it's now longer than its navigation templates, Technetium (talk) finished the summary of Stuffwell's role in Partners in Time as well as finding sources for the WarioWare, Inc. article, and ThePowerPlayer (talk) added the missing music samples to World Clear. Alas, the mysterious origins of File:MKDD Yoshi and Birdo.png still goes unsolved.

And now onto this month's focuses:

Article Category Focuses
Elf (character)
Wanted article
No, this focus isn't about one of Santa's little helpers, but rather the owner of Elf's Short Course. Also, this video points out that he doesn't have an article due to his obscurity, so I would like to prove it wrong.
Flame (Wario Land II)
Stub article
The winter is an ideal time to crowd around a flame, but this flame is looking a bit small. Stoke it by adding information like which levels it's found in.
Freezie
Rewrite and expansion required
When Heat Miser said "Green Christmas", what he actually meant was the putting green. Incidentally, Freezies in Mario Golf Super Rush appear in the usually lava-filled Bowser Highlands. What exactly do they do while the highlands are frozen over?
Slipskate Slope
Image requested
I'm not going to skate around the issue: this article needs an image for each of the Cat Shines found in the area.
File:Egg Factory MSOWG.jpg
Image quality requested
In honor of the recent release of a certain film, let's turn our attention to an image involving the Sonic the Hedgehog series. For obvious reasons, I'd prefer that Shadow be used in the new image.
List of Donkey Kong 64 staff
Citation needed
Listed in the article are the voice actors that perform for you in the game, but are any of these true? Who really voices the DK crew and the others too?

Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently twenty that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2021, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. Additionally, there are many unresolved discussions that we would love to see come to some sort of conclusion. Some might have already concluded and just need the template removed, others have been waiting for a response for years. Lastly, there are thousands of articles with unsourced foreign names. They are found within this category, so please help out and add sources for them.

Thanks for tuning in to the newest edition of The 'Shroom Spotlight! Be sure to turn up next month, where we'll be reviewing the progress on the above focuses. If you have any questions or suggestions about this month's set of the article focuses, then please get in touch through the dedicated topic if you have a forum account. If not, then please contact me on my talk page, but you are far more likely to get a quick response if you go through the forums. You are also welcome to make suggestions on what you think we could focus on in our next edition! Thank you, and good luck!
