RE: Sprites

Ragumo

Hi. About the sprites, the actual size of a game rip is always better. Even though they are harder to see on pages, they are much more accurate. The ones you uploaded, making them bigger weren't any better quality at all; they were just enlarged versions. And besides, the sprites aren't that tiny. I can see the image on the left perfectly fine. Sorry if I reverted your images; this is just a standard here. Actual sprites are preferred over modified versions.

I think Tamara looks okay. Anyway, if you don't agree with all this, feel free to make a proposal.
Also you may want to try converting the files to SVG format, as those kinds of file types don't lose quality no matter how large they are made. See this file for an example.
It's not fully supported by MediaWiki, but there are specific paths that work. I am no good at it either, but I suggest you ask SWFlash (talk), as he is skilled at these sorts of things.

Japanese names

Do you know for a fact that those enemies are never given names because there is a nintendo power guide for SMBL2. Marshal Dan Troop (talk)

I don't really know about the Nintendo Power guide all I know is the wiki says one exists but if you've tried and failed to find one then I guess it's alright to change the names (I was mostly thrown off because they didn't have the conjectural tag on them). Also remember to update the species and enemies list to account for these changes. Marshal Dan Troop (talk)

Jap names

Hey again. Nice job finding those SML2 enemy names. I'm just wondering, are you able to find Virtual Boy Wario Land enemy/boss names? Take a look at the article talk page.

Please please do your best to find the VBWL names. I've ripped sprites for all the enemies/bosses and I was planning to write articles for each one, but first I want to try to get the official names. Seriously, if you get these names you'd be a legend in my eyes.
Thanks! And in case you're wondering, that was an accident. I was trying to mark the edit as patrolled, but clicked the wrong link :P
Thanks for finding some of those VBWL Japanese names. But did you manage to find ones for other enemies? More specifically, the ones which don't have an artwork?
