MarioWiki:Featured articles/N1/Mario Party 8

Support

1. Raphaelraven497 (talk) No errors, no redlinks, many images, no expansion needed, and well detailed.

Oppose

1. BabyLuigiOnFire (talk) Actually, there's only one image that is not in a table, and that's the character selection screen. We could probably use a (READ: non-stolen!) gameplay image, but the problem is, my capture card eats those square-shaped batteries like cheese in a single day (and it's supposed to last for 6 months), so acquiring screenshots that are NOT stolen could be a major issue, if one relies on me for a screenshot. Plus, no one has read over the article and checked for grammar errors, so we don't know how grammatically correct it is. Besides, these problems, I support this article because I have been working pretty hard on it ^_^
2. Reversinator (talk) Per BLOF and there are TONS of grammar errors. The team names section could be placed into a table and the recall section and the critical reception section could be one section.
3. LeftyGreenMario (talk) The pictures of the spaces and candies look really bad.
4. KS3 (talk) Where are all the images? I tried putting the {{more images}} template on and someone reverted my edit.
5. Commander Code-8 (talk) I don't like that massive list of team combinations. It looks bad.
6. Greenday61892 (talk) Per all the above.

Removal of Opposes

Commander Code-8

1. Raphaelraven497 (talk) She and I tried to make it into a table, and we failed. So, it has to be that way, whether you like it or not. Invalid.

LeftyGreenMario

1. Raphaelraven497 (talk) Those are the best quality images we can find.

Reversinator

1. Raphaelraven497 (talk) Grammar errors were all fixed (by me :/ ), and as BLOF said, no table for the team names.

Comments

Reversinator: Er, some people before me and myself tried to add the team names in the table, but it was too wide and long, so it had to be kept in a list. For the grammar errors, could someone (perhaps you?) please correct them? BabyLuigiOnFire (talk)

I'll do it. Raphaelraven497 (talk)

What if you split the table? Like, keep the vertical axis full on both halves, but split it on the horizontal axis? I'm not sure how to do this, but I've seen it done on various pages on wikipedia. Greenday61892 (talk)

@BLOF: I can take pictures with my camcorder and upload them. Raphaelraven497 (talk)

@Everyone:I will get many images ASAP. Raphaelraven497 (talk)

Camcorder pictures from TV screens suck. Just saying. Greenday61892 (talk)

I'm still drawing a blank in regards to why the article itself needs help. I seriously don't think that more images are really needed for the article, but it still shouldn't stop someone if he or she thinks that a section needs help. However, I still am going to place my vote for opposing this nomination, for I don't see "featured article" status on this just yet. MeritC (talk)

@Ralphael: We done it with Mario Party 7, why we can't do it with this article? KS3 (talk)

@Raphaelraven497: None of your "Removal of Opposes" are valid. First, the fact that you can't make it a table does not mean that it can't be organized better. Ask someone else or find out how to fix it. It is possible. Second, if you want the article to be featured, it must have good images. The ones LGM spoke of are obviously bad quality and need to be replaced. Just because you can't get better images does not mean that better images cannot be found. Last, there are still grammar errors and Reversinator was "per BLOF" anyway. Just sayin'. Bloc Partier (talk)
