Talk:Boo
| PAIRreview for Boo by Gofer | ||
| Accuracy | 2.5 | 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. |
| Depth | 2.0 | 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. |
| Grammar | 3.0 | I let soemone else review that. |
| Images | 3.0 | Good, The article could use some more, IMO. |
| Formatting | 4.0 | Good, no problem here. |
| Final Rating: | 14.5 | Slighty above average, not FA worthy.Full of POV and speculation, also. |

| Accuracy | 2.0 | The speculation and POV in this article is what really killed the score. |
| Depth | 2.0 | 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? |
| Grammar | 3.0 | Grammar is a little off in a few areas and can get confusing. |
| Images | 3.5 | A few more would help, but the aligning is still not very nice to look at. |
| Formatting | 3.5 | 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. |
| Final Rating: | 14 | An average article, but will need a lot of work before it can even get nominated. |

How are Boos part of the Koopa Troop? They might not directly help Bowser, but just attack Mario when he is in a ghost house or is in their territory. There isn't enough (or no) proof that Boos or its subspecies are part of Bowser's minions.Knife (talk)
To Gofer: Remember to have your rankings in .5 steps (see here). You should round up your .9 rating. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 13:40, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
Game
What was Boo's first game? King Mario 
- Apparently, the first that's listed under Appearances. Super Mario Bros. 3. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 16:58, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
Predators?
I feel the need to point out that despite Tubba Blubba eating Boos, that does by no means mean that ALL Clubba's eat them. Tubba is the only one ever seen doing so, making the following line: 'Despite being ghosts, Boos still have predators. The only known predator of Boos are Clubbas, which seem to highly fancy them, as seen in Tubba Blubba's lust for ghosts.' Highly speculative, I think it should be rewritten so that it does not say ALL Clubba's eat them, as there is no solid proof of this matter. --Candle Jack
- Agreed, Tubba Blubba was the only Clubba seen eating Boos. My Bloody Valentine
A lot of this article is speculation and generalizes way too much. -- Son of Suns
Then pretty much the entire thing needs a rewrite then, doesn't it? I may give it a try. --Candle Jack(Still need to make Userpage)
Kind of in line with that is the redirect here from ghost. Should we make a disambiguation page instead? Or a full article? Stumpers! 20:14, 5 December 2007 (EST)
Quote?
Can someone put up a quote for this Boo Article? It also needs a notable act in the Mario Series. IG Boos Notable act was in Mario Party 8 it was playable.(Super F22 Pilot 04:16, 22 November 2007 (EST))
- F22, how about the quote from Super Mario 64? "Heh, heh... ghosts...don't...die..."? I don't exactly understand your "notable act" concept, but I think it applies to Boo. Stumpers! 20:05, 7 December 2007 (EST)
- Isn't Big Boo the one who actually said that?
- Hmm... I can't say he didn't, but I can definately say those ghosts did. I watched a speed run video to get my "..." count just right, and I saw it just after a l'il normal Boo was "killed". Stumpers! 16:17, 13 January 2008 (EST)
- It's uttered every time you kill a Boo (In SM64DS, anyway)and you can hear Big Boo distinctive cackle while it's said. --Blitzwing 16:30, 13 January 2008 (EST)
