Culpeper

May I ask where that name with that specific spelling is said? As if it's just said aloud, it might be Culpepper. Is it from the credits? Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:09, 1 December 2018 (EST)

I don't know the actual spelling, it could be Colepeper as well. Only Donkey Kong's voice actor is identified in that episode's credits.--Platform (talk) 05:21, 1 December 2018 (EST)

I'm leaning towards Culpepper. This variant appears to have become the dominant spelling after 1800. Should the article be renamed with his full name+rank? I think it's Colonel Harlan T. Culpepper. It can be also spelled "Harland" but I didn't hear the "D" ending. The character is very loosely inspired by Colonel Harland D. Sanders.--Platform (talk) 05:54, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Well if it's said with an accent, they could have easily slurred over the "D" when enunciating the "T." initial. The article title should probably be the actual name he's most often referred to as, we still have the full name infobox parameter. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 06:28, 1 December 2018 (EST)

Hello, please do not upload .gif images unless they are animated. Thank you. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:29, 10 December 2018 (EST)

RE:Crazy Kong

OK, I thought you were referring to the game itself. You should probably bring up the issue with an admin or someone familiar with Crazy Kong, because I'm not. ^(T|C) 00:39, 26 January 2019 (EST)

Proposals

Hi, regarding the "Delete Do the Donkey Kong" proposal, it should actually be a talk page proposal, since it only deals with one article. If you want, you can ask an admin to restart the proposal on the Do the Donkey Kong talk page, but keep in mind that proposals dealing with only one article should really be on the talk page of the article in question. Thanks! ^(T|C) 01:41, 27 January 2019 (EST)

Categories

Thanks for those categories, though keep in mind that the minimum for game-specific pages is 4 pages, per MarioWiki:Categories#Size and scope. Mario JC 20:11, January 4, 2021 (EST)

Pauline in Super Mario-kun

Really? Lady and Pauline are two separate characters in the manga? How come/Proofs? -- Mariuigi Khed 09:21, November 27, 2021 (EST)

In Japan, Lady and Pauline were considered to be separate characters for a very long time (until 2014?). Outside of Japan, she has always been one character. Template:Media link and look at her name and design. Please read the Pauline article to find out why.--Platform (talk) 09:38, November 27, 2021 (EST)

Good job

I think you do a good job on articles such as Nelsonic Game Watch and obscure Nintendo material in general. I letting you know because I have a MarioWiki-style Nintendo Wiki where I elaborate upon the things & even reuse some of the deleted articles (e.g. Game Boy Gallery and Flagman). Just now I published a Nelsonic Game Watch article & added the Mario Wiki attribution notice up top (CC-BY-SA terms require attribution). :) Just thought I'd give you a heads up that your efforts are helping me out (tho Nintendo Wiki is quite broad, but that another story).

Re:BASIC names

I'm aware; tori-san (Bird) still matches the naming scheme of kame-san (Turtle) and kani-san (Crab), the names those enemies had in the NES port of Mario Bros. (and really most games until Super Smash Bros. made the arcade names cool again). Moreover, Birds and Fires were grouped together with Nitpickers and Fireballs (and still are sometimes) except mainly for the Game Boy Donkey Kong game. We have the benefit of hindsight here to use the somewhat less confusing names. LinkTheLefty (talk) 11:48, April 6, 2022 (EDT)

Re:Scatola Teschio?

Yes, in the SMB Enciclpedia you can find it.

• Torpedo Ted desc. (SMW) [Page 55]: "cassa con un teschio" [box with a skull] (it's not a name, it's the description of the base)
• Torpedo Base (SMW) [Page 61]: "Scatola Teschio" [Skull Box]
• Torpedo Ted desc. (NSMBU) [Page 210]: "Cannoni Ted" [Ted Cannon]
• Torpedo Base (NSMBU) [Page 216]: "Cannone Ted" [Ted Cannon]
• Red Torpedo Base (NSMBU) [Page 215]: "Cannone Siluro Ted" [Targetting Ted Cannon]
