There's an inconsistency in the opening paragraphs of the articles I noticed: In not so many, but still in a notable number of articles, the Japanese name is mentioned in the lead. Actually, I'm perfectly with that, as the Japanese name is the original one in most cases and therefore deserves this treatment. What about adding the name used for the ''original'' (not generally Japanese) version to the articles? Like how it is done at Bulbapedia, e.g. "'''[[Midbus]]''' (Japanese: メタボス ''Metaboss'')". On the other hand, [[Krow]] would actually not need his Japanese name in the lead, as he was created by Rare. Episodes of the ''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series would have the French name in the lead, as French is the show's original language. Any thoughts? At least there should be consistency on this. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 21:51, 22 August 2010 (UTC) | There's an inconsistency in the opening paragraphs of the articles I noticed: In not so many, but still in a notable number of articles, the Japanese name is mentioned in the lead.

Poll Selection
So, since the polls are back, shouldn't we use the Poll Selection page again? 
MrConcreteDonkey
- No, because there is a committee of users in charge of selecting polls now. · SMB (Talk) · 22:24, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
problem
I don't know if this happens to anyone else but where the polls are, the box is cut off so I can't read it.

Noob question: How do I change the poll so it appears instead of just "Link" and "Surveys"? 
It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 22:25, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
- NO script is doing it. Allow PollDaddy.com and see if it works.

What a coincidence, today (GMT) is Friday the 13th, wow. Not that I'm superstitious anyway
Image Glich
On the Unused files page, there are two images at the top: one of a green Yoshi and one of a purple Yoshi. They are unnecessary, so I want to delete them. But for some reason, I can't edit it. I can only "create" it. Anybody know why? Hello, I'm Time Turner.
- Well, I've "restored" the images. So they should technically exist now. --Steve (talk)

Foreign names in the opening paragraph
