| ===Quotes===
| | ''None at the moment.'' |
| On really long articles such as [[Peach]], one can see that there are dozens of qoutes, and most of them are completely pointless like:
| |
| | |
| *''Help''
| |
| *''"Dear Mario, I'll be waiting for you at the castle on the night of the Star Festival. There's something I'd like to give you. From Peach"''.
| |
| | |
| I propose that these either get removed or shortened. I see no promblem with having qoutes, but having so many that arn't even descent (Although that ''is'' a matter of opinion) is pointless. What are your thoughts?

| ====Remove Them====
| |
| #[[User:HyperToad|HyperToad]] Reason said above.
| |
| #{{User:Dodoman/sig}} I think quote sections like that should be removed altogether.
| |
| #{{User:Ghost Jam/sig}} Quotes are fine, but not quote sections.
| |
| #[[User:Yoshimon]] I think the quotes that are screaming/laughing/etc. should be removed.
| |
| #'''[[User:InfectedShroom|InfectedShroom.]]'''[[Image:infectoicon.png]] |[[User_talk:InfectedShroom|Talk]]|[[User:InfectedShroom/Reviews|Reviews]]| Shorten them. They take up a ridiculous amount of space. OR, just make a page devoted to quotes of the Mario series.
| |
| #{{User:Time Q/sig}} An extra page for important quotes (what is important and what is not, could be decided later) would be good, but they should not clutter up the article.
| |
| #[[User:The Legend of Zelda Freak|The Legend of Zelda Freak]] Yep. I got the feeling that sometimes the quotes are longer than the "article itself".
| |
| #{{User:BlueYoshter/sig|per all.}}
| |
| | |
| ====Keep Them====
| |
| #[[User:Pseudo-dino]] Well, we could probably keep the second one, but we gotta get rid of Help
| |
| #[[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] - See my below comment.
| |
| #{{User:Arend/Sig|KEEP ALL QUOTES! NO MATTER HOW LONG OR SHORT IT IS!}}
| |
| #[[User:Glitchman|Glitchman]] - I like quotes. I guess you could get rid of "Help!" though.
| |
| #{{User:Stumpers/sig}} Can we please refrain from removing information? Just put it on an alternate quote page. Please at least do that; I agree they are probably too long.
| |
| | |
| ====Comments====
| |
| As you said, deciding what Quotes are decent and which aren,t is purely a matter of opinion. I think we should use a case-by-case procedure, not everything need to be run throught a proposal.
| |
| [[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]]
| |
| | |
| already had this prospoal, that one -_-' {{user:minimariolover10/sig}}
| |
| :Uh?
| |
| [[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]]
| |
| | |
| Although it is a matter of opinion, how the heck is "Help" a descent qoute, I'm sure '''anybody''' could agree that it's just stupid. [[User:HyperToad|HyperToad]]
| |
| :Rather than argue that it's stupid, you could say it was just one of the exclaimations in SMG put there in order to help guide players rather than significant dialouge. I'd be more willing to delete it then, wouldn't you? That said, I agree with Blitzwing that these things are too varied for a proposal. How about just talking on the talk page? {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 14:47, 29 December 2007 (EST)
| |
| ::We already had a proposal about quotes to which it was decided (as Blitzwing suggested here) that relevancy would be decided case-by-case. The first proposal ''was'' concerning nonsensical things like "Ahhhh!", but we did touch on ubiquitous-sounding quotes like "help" and we decided that since (in this case) Peach screams for "help" so often it actually ''does'' shed some light on her character and therefore is in fact a "decent quote". - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]]
| |
| | |
| In my opinion, entire sections devoted to quotes are ridiculous. Sure, the quotes at the top and everything are okay, but these quote sections... Let's see. They clutter the article, they're often written in poor grammar, and sometimes they've been added to the article above the quote section. They're trouble in my opinion, and I think that not only should the "small" quotes like Peach screaming for help should be removed, but the entire quote sections. {{User:Dodoman/sig}}
| |
| | |
| If the quotes sections are being scrapped can we at least make seperate quote pages as InfectedShroom and Time Q suggested? Since that proposal about Gallery pages passed, quotes pages would fit right into the whole idea. Besides, some quotes pages are already being worked on (i.e. [[Koopalings (quotes)]]). - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]]
| |
| :That sounds like a good idea. I just think that they're cluttering their articles. {{User:Dodoman/sig}}

| ===Merge Bird Articles===
| |
| The Other night I was looking through articles and I came across the [[Blue Bird]], [[Green Bird]], [[Yellow Bird]], and [[Red Bird]]. Yellow and Blue barly make any apperances while Red only makes one. I think these are way to insignificent so I say we merge them into on Birds Article Or Minor Speacies of Island Delfino.

| ====Merge them====
| |
| #{{User:Luigibros2/sig}} My Reasons above
| |
| #{{User:Minimariolover10/sig}} Same thing, different gifts.
| |
| #[[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
| |
| #[[User:Celeste|Celeste]] 14:46, 29 December 2007 (EST) – they are not different species just because they are colored different and many animals have different colored/patterned coats (like cats).
| |
| #[[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]] - Their individual articles are ''three lines each''. Merge them and we'll have a decent article. Plus it will be faster to read one page than having to go from one to another, to another...
| |
| #{{User:Mr. Guy/sig}} - Like Red Koopas and Green Koopas, they should be merged, as they're just palettes
| |
| #[[User:Luigifan14|Luigifan14]] 02:21, 2 January 2008 (EST) - There isn't enough about them to merit seperate pages. All of them could be summed up in one ordinary paragraph. Same for the Boards in Super Mario Galaxy (though I could see line breaks on every sign)
| |
| #{{User:BlueYoshter/sig}} theyre just palette swaps
| |
| #[[User:Madhatter9max|Madhatter9max]] 16:20, 3 January 2008 (EST) it's simpler and takes up less energy for slower computers and it's not that specific a detail.

| |
| ====Let there be Bird articles====
| |
| #{{User:Uniju :D/sig}}Although their all rather minor, they '''''are''''' different species', so they each are deserving of an article.
| |
| #{{User:Bentendo/sig}}I like the seperate articles!
| |
| #[[User:Pseudo-dino]] Gotta agree with Bentendo.
| |
| #http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif '''[[User:Paper Jorge|Paper Jorge! I give paper cuts so stand back!]]''' http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/9276/papertoycf7.gif What Uniju said. Let's see here: [[Mini Goomba]] is similar to [[Goomba]]. Merge anyone?
| |
| #{{User:Stooben Rooben/sig}} Leave 'em alone! If we merge the bird articles, we might as well cram all the different species of Koopas into one big article. Same with any other thing that has sub-species.
| |
| #{{User:Dodoman/sig}} Per Uniju and Paper Jorge.
| |
|
| |
| ====Comments====
| |
| Hmmm... While the birds are rather insignificant, they are all seperate creatures with different purposes. For now, I'm neutral on this.
| |
| {{unsigned|Dodoman}}
| |
|
| |
| Uniju: Yes, but they are all birds. They only have 2 differences; one is their colour s and two is their coin they give out/ {{user:minimariolover10/sig}}
| |
|
| |
| What about [[Yoshi's]]. We have [[Red Yoshi]], [[Yellow Yoshi]] etc..... should they be merged? - [[User:Ultimatetoad|Ultimatetoad]]
| |
| :Probably not, just because they are specific characters when you look at individual Yoshi's Island games. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 14:52, 29 December 2007 (EST)
| |
| ::Yeah, but if you look at the [[Purple Yoshi]] article it talks about Purple Yoshis in general (the [[Super Mario Sunshine]] Purple Yoshis vs. the [[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island|Yoshi's Island]] Purple Yoshi). I sorta agree they should all be merged into one article with all the Yoshi subspecies but that would look a bit messy and wouldn't last very long. I think one "Isle Delfino Birds" article ''will'' work here because the birds are so minor, whereas Yoshis are real pop-icons when it comes to the Marioverse. - [[User:Walkazo|Walkazo]]
