Grammar / writing[edit]

Please remember to use proper grammar when editing:

  • Proper nouns like "luigi", "goob" and "godzilla" should be capitalised ("Luigi", "Goob", "Godzilla").
  • New sentences should always have the first word capitalised.
  • Avoid confusing "its" with "it's". "Its" is the possessive pronoun ("its other attack"); "it's" is short for "it is".

I suggest reading over MarioWiki:Manual of Style; Help:Contents also provides some general wiki editing pointers. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:44, November 23, 2019 (EST)

I would not call capitalising enemy names to match the style of the rest (and a single spelling error) extreme enough to warrant a warning. They might have been assigning conjectural proper-noun names for them (and "Folded Army" they likely mistook for "Folded Soldiers", an actual proper noun). Other than that, what is the "grammar" issue here? Be more careful issuing warnings or you'll get one yourself. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 23:38, May 14, 2020 (EDT)

Start being more careful with your grammar or you will actually receive a warning for real. Titles also should be written correctly and italicised (Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam - If you're not sure how it's written, search the article and check the title), not like "Mario And Luigi paper jam".
