Should we upload a separate kart picture for Mario Kart Wii?
The preceding unsigned comment was added by Superjustin (talk).

No, is not necessary. Also, if you say to get the oher vehicles used in wii, you'd say those seen in Mario Kart DS as well...

Grammar Check Please

Could a native speaker of English please check the article for grammatical errors? It's nominated for FA, but it should be checked before. Thanks! Time Questions 13:38, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

I can. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Cool. Thanks! Time Questions 13:52, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

No problem. I finished checking the grammar. There were a few grammatical/spelling errors, but I fixed them. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg

Thanks again. However, some wordings still seem strange to me, like for example the very first sentence: "A Kart is a vehicle used in the Mario Kart series, which they (?) can come in various sizes and colors, generally regarding to (is an article missing here?) certain character's color." I'm not sure though if those are actually mistakes, just wanting to make sure we don't put a flawed article on the main page. Time Questions 16:34, 26 August 2009 (EDT)

Capital K in "Kart"?

Note: This discussion was moved here from the Kart FA nomination page.

Okay, thanks. On a different note, currently there are two different spellings of "kart" in the article: capitalized "Kart" and non-capitalized "kart". We should decide for one, but which? Time Q (talk)

I think "kart" because it's not a proper noun. Yoshario (talk)

I just checked several manuals, and in 64 the term is treated like a proper noun (i.e. it's capitalized). It's not capitalized in the manuals of the other games SMK (here it's even spelled "cart"), Double Dash, DS and Wii. Well, even though the "kart" spelling seems to prevail, one source shows that "Kart" is a proper noun in the Mario series, and thus it should be capitalized. That's just my opinion though. Time Q (talk)

Well, use the term "kart" (not capitalized) for all the page, excluding the summary and the MK64 section. This could be explained adding a footnote or a reference that the term receives a proper noun, and also adding that info about how karts were spelled in SMK, I think. Coincollector (talk)

I'm not sure if it's the best solution to use two different spellings in the article. Especially since I don't know if the term is spelled differently in the games themselves. Time Q (talk)

I think it's the best option. Also, there is a an article called Cart and you see in the top of the Kart's page. Another option (and the last I've made) is adding a disambiguation page to the term "cart" as a name alluded in the Yoshi series and Mario Kart series. Last, the "Kart" name could be supported using a reference in the MK64 section, or talk about this as a trivia. Coincollector (talk)

Waluigi

In the GP 2 section, why isn't Waluigi's kart displayed? Unshy Guy (talk) 21:56, 5 November 2013 (EST)
