#{{User|Stooben Rooben}} - The article is large, and consists of detailed summaries of each game in the ''Yoshi'' series.
#{{User|Palkia47}} - The info that was needed has been added. It now specifies what the Yoshi series is; gives more information on the games; and more; so, per Stoobs :)
#The info is clear, and the large detailed summaries have cleared up alot of questions I've had.Deserves to be featured! {{User|Fantastic Mr. L}}

==== Oppose ====
#{{User:Time Q/sig}}: <s>I think an article about a series of games needs more than just a description of each game. What about comparisons between the games, similarities, differences and so on? Don't get me wrong, the article is good, but it's faaar away from FA status.</s> Good work on expanding the article! I think it should be expanded even more though. For example, the list of characters is a good idea, but not very helpful as it is. I suggest to explain every character's role in the ''Yoshi'' series. Also, I was thinking about a section about general elements in the ''Yoshi'' series that set it apart from other games - i.e. what is special to the series? Which items and objects appear throughout the series, and what is their role exactly? Sorry that I can't give examples, I've only played ''YI'' and ''YIDS'', but I do think such a section would be helpful.
<s>#Okay, I know I said I would gladly support if Yoshi's Safari was added, but I can see that this article could use a little work.  Under Major characters section, the setup needs to be a bold headline for each character and a line below that that says "''Main article'': [[Baby Wario]]" like that.  Speaking of Major characters, the Bowser section says nothing about how he was the main antagonist in the game Yoshi Topsy-Turvey.  In the trivia section, it states that a Yoshi game has been released for every Nintendo home console, but there is no Yoshi game for the Gamecube or the Wii.  {{User|White Knight}}<s>

:Is there something else the article is lacking? I'd be more than happy to add it. {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 09:17, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
::Maybe there's something I'm not understanding of the actual defnition of "Spin-off", but ''Yoshi'' and ''Yoshi's Cookie'' were spin-offs to a yet non-existing series? Also, I'm somewhat confused when it says "First spin-off game in the Yoshi Series". Should it be "First spin-off game '''of''' the Yoshi Series"? We may need to clarify if we're talking about the Spin-off, or the Spin-Spin-off. There also are some past tense issues, but I'll start working on those. Nice expand, BTW. {{User|Garlic Man}}
:::'''Time Q''': Thanks. I'll work on the character bio section ASAP. As for the unique elements to the series, I'll see what I can do, seeing as that I've only played ''YIDS''. '''Garlic Man''': I'm not entirely sure of the timeline with the spin-offs and main games; I pulled it from [[Template:Yoshi series|here]], so that's why it's all off; I can easily fix it. Oh, and thanks. {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 23:20, 12 September 2008 (EDT)
::::Okay, I've added the character bios, and fixed the spin-off problem. Are they okay, or do they need more readjustment? {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 02:19, 13 September 2008 (EDT)
One thing I noticed is that there is no mention about the game [[Yoshi's Safari]].  If this is added then I will gladly support.  {{User|White Knight}}
:White Knight: About the trivia section &ndash; ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' was released with ''[[Dr. Mario 64]]'' on the GameCube, and there have been several ''Yoshi'' releases on the virtual console. As for your other oppositions: Bowser's section now mentions YTT, the character headers are bolded, with the {{tem|Main}} template beneath them. A section on Yoshi's Safari has been added as well (thanks to Garlic Man). {{User|Stooben Rooben}}
