Hey, I think it's great that you're adding Japanese names to some of the articles! However, I should let you know that the decision to include proper citations for official names also extends to any additional names in other languages. If you're using a manual/guide, game or website, be sure to include it in your edit (if using the latter, make sure it's a reputable source; if former, then at least a page number). The reference for those names may not be obvious to some users, so leaving it uncited ''may'' unfortunately run the risk of someone eventually removing it. The effort is very appreciated, though, so keep this in mind and continue contributing!

Hi! Great edits so far! If you are trying to add a "Names in other languages" section, take note that the section goes usually directly before the trivia section. Anyway, I hope you enjoy your stay! :) It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 02:19, 9 September 2014 (EDT)
Names
Hello. I've noticed most of your contributions have been moving pages or adding foreign names. The wiki's staff has recently pushed for better and more consistent sourcing for names so if you could provide references for future contributions (and, if possible, provide sources for previous contributions), that'd be p. cool. --Glowsquid (talk) 19:52, 24 November 2014 (EST)
SMB3 World names
Hey, just to let you know, we've had a proposal about which set of names to use, and have agreed to use the "Land" names as seen in the most recent release of Super Mario Bros. 3, that being the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Virtual Console releases. So unless a proposal passes that has us change back to the other names, please don't move them.
- As the one who made that proposal, I should also mention that after it was settled, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U used Pipe Land as the name of World 7 rather than Pipe Maze in the "Pipe" trophy...which probably means it might be a bit of a while before a revert can be legitimately reconsidered. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:20, 20 December 2014 (EST)
- Even so, the "Land" names are too generic and only touch upon the theme of the world, while the unique names are more widespread, descriptive, and are the true original names due to being in the PRG0 carts compared to the "Land" names coming from the PRG1 revision that was the basis of the Virtual Console version. If anything the trophy was referring to the Virtual Console version and not the original version.--Tailikku1 (talk) 00:26, 21 December 2014 (EST)
- Tailikku, I am sorry to say, even if they are generic, they are official. The words of one user don't change the way it stands. I myself agree with you, and if you feel strongly about this, you can start a proposal (See proposal under community), and I will surely support you.Toad and his brigade! 00:32, 21 December 2014 (EST)
- Depends on what you mean by "true original". LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:44, 21 December 2014 (EST)

Foreign References
Hey, I think it's great that you're adding Japanese names to some of the articles! However, I should let you know that the decision to include proper citations for official names also extends to any additional names in other languages. If you're using a manual/guide, game or website, be sure to include it in your edit (if using the latter, make sure it's a reputable source; if former, then at least a page number). The reference for those names may not be obvious to some users, so leaving it uncited may unfortunately run the risk of someone eventually removing it.
