message: Hi.  I noticed that the article was changed to a redirect, but I changed it back right away because the article survived an AfD.  However, the user who had made it a redirect noted that the decision was to keep and cleanup.  So if maybe somebody could have a look and see if the article can be improved (I'm really more of a Sonic guy myself).  I think the article is redundant, and probably would vote to delete it, but I certainly wouldn't just make it a redirect to Mario without discussion. --Maxamegalon2000 12:24, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I've already added a clean-up tag and linked the article to the main Mario page. I might also clean it up myself if I have time (the article really needs refenerences).--TBCTaLk?!? 03:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've sort of been making the article for Game Boy my project at the moment, and I've been making a slew of revisions and additions for the last week or so.  If anyone from this project can just check things over on the page, make sure things are sound, or if you want to add any new content, I'd really appreciate any help you can offer.  Game Boy is rated as a "High" importance article on the Computer and video games WikiProject, so I'm really trying to improve it as best I can. I Jethrobot 06:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Some person move the article on Bowser to King Bowser, there is a move request on the talk page there, and I urge people to vote in support of moving it back to "Bowser" and to re-name the current Bowser page as Bowser (disambiguation). TJ Spyke 06:36, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Seeing as how I'm not getting any response on its talk page, I'll post here too. Thanks to the wonderful contributions of many Annon. users, the Mario Hoops article basically turned into a how-to guide for unlocking characters and costumes.  Also, the tables placed on that article look very ugly and distracting.  Seeing as how many people have been working on the article, it would be a slap in the face (and potentially an edit war) for me to go reverting this and that.  However, I would like to know what input anyone else has concerning that page. -SaturnYoshi 23:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I suggest that the Characters, Courts, Items, Basketballs, Alternate Costumes, Dribble Race, and 10 Coin Hunters sections be merged in one section, perhaps a section titled "Contents", and that the Voices section should be merged into the Character table. Also, the "about" column of the characters table looks a bit crufty.--TBCTaLk?!? 02:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's very crufty.  My suggestion is a simple list of characters broken into two groups: "Available from beginning" and "Unlockable".  The method of how they are unlocked is irrelevant and should not be mentioned.  -SaturnYoshi 03:18, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I have a question in regards to Enemies in The Legend of Zelda series.  Wouldn't it be better to have "real" screen-shots of Dark Link in the article as opposed to ones created with the help of a cheating device?  Readers who haven't played those games may get the wrong impression that Dark Link can be playable by normal means.  -SaturnYoshi 19:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dark Link 

message: Is there really a good reason to have a tournament section in Super Smash Bros. Melee.  There was an argument on its talk page about it being "self promotion", and now if you look at the article you'll see pics of the supposed "best players".  I  think this should be enough of a reason to completely trash the entire section, but anger should not be a reason to revert pages.  Anyway, I beg someone to take a look and see what I mean.  -SaturnYoshi 06:47, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Ignore what I previously said; seeing that there was no prior discussion on moving the Luigi page specifically, you should ask an admin to revert it. You could also mention it on WP:CVG as well.--TBCΦtalk? 15:15, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council is currently in the process of developing a master directory of the existing WikiProjects to replace and update the existing Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  These WikiProjects are of vital importance in helping wikipedia achieve its goal of becoming truly encyclopedic. Please review the following pages: 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Culture Directory 2, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Philosophy and religion Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Sports Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory, 
*User:Badbilltucker/Geographical Directory/United States, (note: This page will be retitled to more accurately reflect its contents)
*User:Badbilltucker/History and society directory, and
*User:Badbilltucker/Science directory
and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory.
The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. 
It is my hope to have the existing directory replaced by the updated and corrected version of the directory above by November 1. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.

replies: text: You should fill in the link to the appropriate page or section. If there is content, the box will show a "yes" and link directly to the appropriate page or section. Sorry about any confusion earlier, by the way. I forgot for a while that all the "draft" pages linked to the existing pages. The old pages have now been replaced and most things should work fine.

message: I think we should have an article focus system.  We could use approval voting to make a list of articles that need help.

replies: text: Do you mean an assessment scale? What most projects do, is that they categorize articles by Top importance, High, mid or low. And I think we should do that with this project as well.

message: In the introductory paragraph the sentence, "However, this does exclude Super Mario RPG related articles which, though owned by Square Enix, features Nintendo related characters." seems a bit odd. The word exclude seems to clash with the sentences around it. Is it saying that RPG aticles aren't included or they are. Either way can I suggest a slightly clearer phrasing which dosen't clash so much with the words around it?BigHairRef | Talk 01:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
