Proper nouns

When naming proper nouns (names of characters, enemies etc.), please remember to capitalise them, so "boo" or "bowser" must be written as "Boo" or "Bowser." Thanks and keep contributing. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:41, 13 October 2018 (EDT)

Additionally, avoid writing in second-person (using the word "you") on articles; we write in third-person, so we use "the player" or the character's name instead. Try to also avoid run-on sentences as well (using a comma to separate two independent clauses), so in this case as an example, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms, you can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." should be written as, "Hearts are replaced by Poison Mushrooms. The player can still get hearts by catching two or more ghosts." Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 19:07, 14 October 2018 (EDT)

Please stop not capitalising proper nouns on the Super Mario Wiki. This isn't a warning, and it's possible that you made a mistake by accident or without realizing it; this is simply a reminder for your information. If the action continues, then a warning will be issued. Thanks for reading and keep contributing.
If you feel this reminder was undeserved, you may appeal it.

Please remember to capitalise names as I've explained above (like "King Boo"); writing all words in lowercase is not proper grammar. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 19:03, 17 November 2018 (EST)

Understandable, i do my very best to just either make or fix things, i'm not much into these edits and i don't do very well like you guys, i know i made too many edits the past few weeks since im not very good, but anyways i'll keep on trying to remember these things that is important with grammar and capitalising, good day. -MarioGamerFan24

Italics

One other thing: please keep in mind that game titles must be formatted in italics. So for Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, it's written as Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. The formatting is simple: two apostrophes before and after the name: ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'' Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 06:53, 30 November 2018 (EST)

Run-on sentences

Once again, please avoid run-on sentences as I explained above like you did in this bullet point. This was all one sentence, with only commas used to separate different pieces of information, which is improper grammar. In cases like these, you need to start new sentences and use periods / full stops to separate independent clauses. I recommend reading through the Wikipedia page I linked to you above.

Warning

Warning.svg This is a warning to stop your inappropriate behavior (not capitalising proper nouns) on the Super Mario Wiki. Please adhere to the rules or you will be blocked from editing this site.
If you feel this warning was undeserved, you may appeal it.

As you're familiar with the Mario series, you should know that names for most characters, games, consoles etc. need to be capitalised, especially after you were reminded twice. There's some improvement in your sentence structure, but please remember this rule as well; it's not difficult, and while I shouldn't need to mention bad grammar again, forgoing this for links can lead to broken links. If you don't know, you can always check the rest of the article, other articles, or through the search function. Rosalina costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 21:59, 20 December 2018 (EST)
