|A-rating=2.5
|A-comment=Relatively accurate, the only really major error I found was the "Streche are boo with long body." thing. There's a few minor error, but nothing glaring.
|D-rating=2.0
|D-comment= I found the "What make a Boo a Boo." section quite nice, especially considering than th past Fa Goomba didn't have such a thing. UNfortunately, most of the section is pretty much speculation (The "Bigger Hideout = More powerful Boo" thing is an example.) As for the article,It could use some depth, for example, the SMRPG section don't have much information while the same section on Big Boo have load and load of information. The SUper Paper Mario section is welll, an one-liner, unnceptable. It also lack much information for the spinoff game, esspecially Mario Striker charged.
|G-rating=3.0
|G-comment=I let soemone else review that.
|I-rating=3.0
|I-comment=Good, The article could use some more, IMO.
|F-rating=4.0
|F-comment=Good, no problem here.
|FR-comment=Slighty above average, not FA worthy.Full of POV and speculation, also.

{{PAIRreview
|A-rating=2.0
|A-comment=The speculation and POV in this article is what really killed the score.
|D-rating=2.0
|D-comment=Some one-liners, the depth isn't that great. To fix this, writers should add a little info on the sub-species that were also present in the game. Also, some sections are unorganized. Why is the Paper Mario section at the bottom?
|G-rating=3.0
|G-comment=Grammar is a little off in a few areas and can get confusing.
|I-rating=3.5
|I-comment=A few more would help, but the aligning is still not very nice to look at.
|F-rating=3.5
|F-comment=Slight, minor problems like some &ndashs are missing in the list of subspecies and perhaps a scroll box is needed to cut down the size from templates.
|FR-comment=An average article, but will need a lot of work before it can even get nominated.

{{PAIRreview
|A-rating=3.0
|A-comment=For what information it has, it's correct information.
|D-rating=2.5
|D-comment=With an article on something as ambiguous as a cap, you'd expect something more... larger. I mean, it says that many characters wear caps, and yet it doesn't even give us a list of all these cap-wearers.
|G-rating=2.0
|G-comment=Grammatical errors are piled throughout the article.
|I-rating=2.5
|I-comment=Again, for what information the article has, there's enough images to go with the article. I only wish that an image of Goombario's hat itself was used and a gallery of caps was here.
|F-rating=2.5
|F-comment=I don't have much to work with. There are little images, so I can't do much here.
|FR-comment=Let's see... needs more images, more expanding, less gramatical errors, and some more finishing touches.

{{PAIRreview
|A-rating=2.5
|A-comment=Like a lot of articles, accuracy's hit and miss. I'll name one: at the beginning of the article, it says when Mario gets 100 coins, the player gets a 1-up, when obviously Mario gets the 1-Up.
|D-rating=2.5
|D-comment=I know you can't go into that much depth with coins, but surely more information could be added.
|G-rating=2.5
|G-comment=There are many grammar error littered throughout the article.
|I-rating=1.0
|I-comment=Where are all the images? I have never seen so little images in an article with so many sections. More than three quarters of the whole article needs images.
|F-rating=2.5
|F-comment=I don't have much to work with. There are little images and little templates, so I can't do much here.

|A-rating=3.5
|A-comment=It's a good, accurate article, but sometimes it screws up. Like when it says Yoshi saved Mario in Super Mario 64, when in fact it happened in its remake, Super Mario 64 DS.
|D-rating=3.0
|D-comment=Again, it has some depth, but some sections, like New Super Mario Bros., New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Paper Mario, really could be more in-depth.
|G-rating=3.5
|G-comment=Grammatical errors are few, yet they do make an appearance every now and then.
|I-rating=2.0
|I-comment=Normally, the problem with articles is that there's too many images, but here, there's not enough images. The Lost Levels, Super Mario World, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the Super Mario Land series, the Nintendo comics, Super Mario Adventures, Club Nintendo, the Mario Party series, the Smash Bros. series and Bowser's Inside Story are all missing images.
|F-rating=3.5
|F-comment=Like lots of articles, the Paper Mario templates leave a big blank, which is annoying. Also, the infobox at the beginning stretches the page, when it could be removed by adding <nowiki>|expand=expandable</nowiki> so easily.
|FR-comment= This article is hit and miss. It's lacking in depth, lots of images could be added and the formatiing could use a fix-up.

|A-comment=So now I'm critizing Mr. Nintendo's article. Huh. Anyways, about the accuracy. Like a lot of articles, it's mostly accurate, but screws up in a few parts. Like in the Super Mario Bros. section, where it said that it was the first Mario platformer, when in fact it was the game Mario Bros.
|D-rating=2.0
|D-comment=Lots of games are missing in this article. Some of them are spin-offs, some of them are obscure games. Either way, they belong here.
|G-rating=3.5
|G-comment=Thankfully, there are few grammatical errors, but as always, they still make an appearance.
|I-rating=3.0
|I-comment=This is one of the few articles where I don't need to place a MoreImages template. But since there are missing sections, there are missing images.
|F-rating=4.0
|F-comment=All the images and templates are A-OK.
|FR-comment=This article is better than most of the articles that I've seen, but it still isn't FA material.

|A-comment=Well, I don't have much to work with, but I'll give it a try. I only saw one accuracy fail, and that is when it states that both Super Paper Mario and Mario Strikers Charged Footbal were each the first traditional Mario game. Make up your mind people. Other than that, it's all accurate.
|D-rating=2.5
|D-comment=I really don't see how come each of the Mario games don't have a short explination of its games, like... Alright, none of the console articles explain their games, but still, it should be done. The same goes for the Virtual Console. You explained WiiWare, so why not Virtual Console?

|F-comment=Sticking with my previous idea, the games should be placed in a table. It would have the short explination, an image, the date of release, and a rating. The same should be done with the channels. But looking at what's actually in the article, it's ok.

It has been decided that the Super Mario Wiki will no longer support this feature. This page is kept and protected strictly for historical purposes.


Panel for Article Improvement & Recognition

As an optional part of the renewed FA process, PAIR can help toward getting an article ready for an FA nomination and have a high enough quality to pass voting requirements, but again is not mandatory.

Panel Members[edit]

Members need to :

  • be dedicated to this work & active
  • be experienced and successful writers
  • will respond to request for review, from Category:Review Requested asap
  • refrain from extending this list past 12 for the time being
  1. HK-47 (talk)
  2. Gofer
  3. Pokemon DP (talk)
  4. Cobold (talk)
  5. Plumber (talk)
  6. Knife
  7. Phoenix Rider (talk)
  8. Xzelion (talk)
  9. Reversinator (talk)
  10. Reddragon19k

Process[edit]

This is an optional first stage for the FA process, more importantly a way to improve an article's quality over time.

Example: A user or group of users have extensive knowledge of a certain subject in the Marioverse (i.e. Game/Character) and want to improve the article to FA status.

  1. User(s) ask two reviewers for scores using {{PAIRreview}}, judging article on accuracy (facts), depth (details), grammar, images (# and quality), and formatting (organized) on a scale from 0-4 in .5 increments, on the talk page of the article. They should use {{PAIRrequest}} for efficiency. A final rating out of 20 is given by adding the individual ratings. Reviewers in the comments give suggestions for improvement, or what they disliked.
  2. Article is worked on for one week, then the same two reviewers review it again. If there are no changes after a week, the users have to seek the reviewers when they are ready for another review session, but they must wait at least one week, even if they are ready (preferably, there's always something to improve)
  3. Review can be justified by users working on article and by other reviewer as reasonable to be considered official, but since this is a general gist of the article's quality, and scores do not matter when nominating the article as an FA, it is not necessary to justify.

In the end, it is up to the users who want an article to be the best it can be and the reviewers to help them – they must work together.
