:::Ok, the context... I don't find it funny, but some surely will, so I guess it can stay. Discussing what's funny and what's not is the worst we could do, after all.

::Okay. It's not that funny, though, but that's my opinion. {{User:CrystalYoshi/sig}} The torpedo ted one was funny...

==Organization==

If we are going to do this, let's do it right. How does everyone feel about splitting the page into two sections: Articles and Proposals. Move everything to it's proper place and alphabetize. Objections? -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]][[User:Ghost Jam|Chris]][[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 20:19, 22 April 2008 (EDT)
:Weeelll, that how they did it at Wikipedia (They separated it between weird thing seen the sandbox, April Fool Jokes and article vandalism), but currently, there's only three (rather short) proposals worth archiving, and  separating BJAODN in different section would perhaps be giving it too much importance. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 07:00, 23 April 2008 (EDT)

I kinda agree with Blitzwing. But you COULD make different sections on this page; split apart the Articles and Proposals. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}}
:So your position is that we are both right. Thanks, DP, that's real helpful. -_- -- [[Image:Shyghost.PNG]][[User:Ghost Jam|Chris]][[Image:Shyghost.PNG]] 12:00, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

==Buzzy Beetle shell==
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Tutankoopa use Buzzy Beetle shells as weapons in Paper Mario?--[[User:Kahran042|Kahran042]] 09:28, 25 April 2008 (EDT)
:Yes, he did. The article could actually be created. Though in the state it was first, it's of course nonsense. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 14:21, 25 April 2008 (EDT)

==Baby on Wii==
Credit goes to me for finding it, Blitzwing for nominating it as BJAODN worthy, and Plumber for adding it. {{User: Master Lucario/sig}}

==The archive is open for anyone to edit, as long as the added content answers one golden criteria: It must be funny.==

I have two promblems with that sentence. Firstly, everyone has opinions on what is funny. The article currently says that, but that doesn't really help much by just saying it. Plus, it says it's free for editing, doesn't this mean people are able to add new stuff. Like muh Gorge joke? [[User:HyperToad|HyperToad]]
:Only stuff that was actually once put into an article is allowed. And I don't think it would make sense to define "funny". That's why it says there shall not be an edit war because of discrepancies of what is funny or not. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 09:42, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
::About your second point, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BEANS this Wikipedia essays] explains why I odmitted to add that rather obvious piece of information. And your first point doesn't makes sense, the rules themsleves says that "funny" can't be defined, so why are you whining about it? --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 11:34, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

== Samantha Mathis? ==

The article is neither a bad joke nor deleted nor nonsense. It's only short. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 15:55, 6 May 2008 (EDT)

== Beezo ==

I really don't see anything wrong with it, other than the weird Waluigi picture.--[[User:Kahran042|Kahran042]] 08:21, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

I think the picture was for the Baby Waluigi one. {{User:MegaMario9910/sig}}

Yeah, I fixed it now. {{User:Pokemon DP/sig}} I don't see anything wrong with Beezo either, really. The only thing that seems bad is the latter formatting...
:The thnin with Beezo is that the wording is '''completly''' screwed up ("They have wings on their back: Capable of flying". Did any of you actually read it :|? --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 11:44, 9 May 2008 (EDT)

== Sir Grodus ==

It's a simple misuse of the apostrophe:
<blockquote>It is a chance that the fish are Sir Grodus'</blockquote>
It should be this instead:
<blockquote>It is a chance that the fish are Sir Grodus'<b>s</b></blockquote>
Meaning "There is a chance that the fish are belonging to Sir Grodus".

I didn't find that notable for BJAODN. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:26, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
:I know that guy meant that the fish are belonging to Sir Grodus, but it's still a pretty WTF'ish mistake. Well, at least I know that another user was WTF-ed by it. --[[User:Blitzwing|Blitzwing]] 16:41, 13 June 2008 (EDT)
::Are you sure that's even a mistake? I always thought that if it ends in 's', there is no reason to put another 's' after the apostraphe. - [[User:Score under|Score under]] 16:52, 3 November 2008 (EST) My name is Score_Under. With an underscore, you silly wiki.

== Personal comments ==

I think we should only allow personal comments on the page that were directly related to the listed page. Such as discussed on the talk page on that specific article, or in edit summaries on that page. If everyone gives in their opinion here, then (sorry) the page will get too long. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 12:31, 24 June 2008 (EDT)

[[Image:Aussie_Coins.jpg]] I found it under Uncatorigized Images-[[User:Nerdy Guy]]

==Isaac Newton==
Can I add [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Isaac_Newton&diff=469509&oldid=469459|this] to the BJAODN? {{User:Princess Grapes Butterfly/sig}}
:Well, it's pretty much an inexperienced user making an edit, and not reading the rules, so I guess no. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}
:He copy it for Wikipedia. And I think that considered spam since its from another website. [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]
:Nevermind Blitzwing added it. [[User:Princess Grapes Butterfly|Ambidextria]]

==Why is Beezo Here?==
I thought it was a enemy, Not a joke. I mean why is the entire article here? --{{User:Nerdy Guy/sig|Beezo}}
:It's incredibly badly written. Try to work out this paragraph:
<blockquote>Beezos attack by flying towards Mario or one of his friends using their pitchfork and then get within contact towards the character. They normally appear in packs as they proceed to attack the character that was played by the player. Beezos in packs endlessly appear on the screen; they won’t leave the character alone until the character leaves the current level the player is currently playing in.</blockquote>

I think we should do something about the flood of comments on this page. Most of them are totally unfunny and just make the page ridiculously long. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 06:19, 6 September 2009 (EDT)
:I agree. Originally the idea was to only have comments that were directly associated with the article, like the text entered in the deletion log by a Sysop or in the original edit summary. It never was intended as a place for everybody to drop their own comments afterwards.

<blockquote>
Commentaries by users are now '''''strongly discouraged''''' due to overload.
</blockquote>
On BJAODN archives, I see some small comments below sections which actually add to the humor, and there is nothing wrong with that, is there? For example, [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Characters#Baby waluigi|this section's]] comment just made that section so much funnier. And that's the whole point of BJAODN, right? My comment got [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=MarioWiki%3ABJAODN%2FCharacters&diff=1378976&oldid=1378974 removed] as per this rule, which I don't mind too much but I'm just questioning the strictness when enforcing this rule. I don't think we should just remove new comments on sight. I believe that comments should only be removed/trimmed down when they reach more than two (as any more than that, and some users may see it as a place to chat and then ''that'' would be overload). Therefore, in accordance to these ideas, I'm proposing that the guideline should be reworded to this instead;

<blockquote>
Commentaries by users ''are'' permitted, but please restrict it to no more than two comments per section.

===Comments===
Good points, but I don't think the discouragement angle should be removed altogether. A lot of the time, it seems that folks are commenting for the sake of commenting, which is what's being discouraged (in theory): genuinely witty remarks that ''do'' enhance the enjoyment of the entry should still be allowed even under the current rule ("discouraged" =/= "disallowed"). The tricky part is that what's funny for one person is lame for another, but that's gonna be an issue no matter what. I just worry that simply saying they're allowed will make people go crazy with commentary again, and lessen others' ability to remove the excess: imho, it's better to have no comments than two unnecessary ones. I'd support something more like: "''Commentary is permitted, but users should show restraint in this matter. Commentary should make the entries funnier, and commenting for the sake of commenting will be removed, as will lengthy back-and-forth exchanges.''" - it's less restrictive, but still dissuades users from going around commenting on everything, or piling on the comments for particular entries (and does so without resorting to an arbitrary cut-off, which could always backfire and be interpreted as "everything ''should'' have 2 comments"). - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 20:56, 24 December 2012 (EST)

I'm proposing that this rule be reworded to the following;

<blockquote>
Commentary is permitted, but users should show restraint in this matter. Commentary should make the entries funnier, and commenting just for the sake of commenting will be removed, as will lengthy back-and-forth exchanges.
</blockquote>

...for the following reasons. The current rule restricts/discourages ''all'' comments below BJAODN sections. I believe that comments which actually add to the humor should be allowed, like [[MarioWiki:BJAODN/Characters#Baby waluigi|this]] for example. However, we still want to discourage users from commenting just for the sake of it. It should also be highlighted that all comments should be aimed at either making that section funnier, or just giving an insight about the section. To back this up and prevent overload, we should also specifically say that we don't allow an excessive amount of comments on sections (like back-and forth exchanges between users, as the proposed states). Yes, the rule gives users a lot more freedom in commenting, but it also sets a specific standard, unlike our current rule.

Super Paper Mario and articles related to it seem to suffer this consistent subpar melodramatic quality, just as articles on Luigi's Mansion. Oh, and this assumes that the articles on Super Paper Mario are improved. [[Special:Contributions/173.55.155.46|173.55.155.46]] 17:00, 9 March 2013 (EST)
:I think there's potential for a Super Paper Mario page ([[Count Bleck]], the old [[Dimentio]] revisions and [[Count Bleck's Army]] have a lot of material, atleast), though the SPM-related article don.t seem as uniformly bad as the LM pages were. --[[User:Glowsquid|Glowsquid]] ([[User talk:Glowsquid|talk]]) 17:37, 9 March 2013 (EST)

== The Growing BJAODN ==

The BJAODN is going to keep expanding, naturally, but its pages are getting a lot bigger as well? Is there going to be a point where the huge pages are going to make an undesirable impact on loading time? If so, what are we going to do? Should we create separate sections based on alphabet (Like MarioWiki:BJAODN A) to make the article smaller? I think that's a plausible way. What do you think? {{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 21:02, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
:We'll get to that when that situation arises. --{{User:Tucayo/sig}} 21:09, 12 March 2013 (EDT)
==Comments==
Can anyone add comments on BJAODN pages? (In brackets)  {{User|Rpg_gamer}} 06:56, 11 May 2013 (EDT) 06:56, 11 May 2013 (EDT)
:They can, but only if it adds humour to the joke. {{User|Yoshi876}}

==Make a separate subpage for levels==
{{TPP}}

If there's a subpage for games, why not one for levels? I've seen plenty of silly things on level articles, so I think a separate subpage for levels should be created.

===Make a subpage===
#{{User|Goomba}} Per proposal.

===Don't make a subpage===
#{{user|Tucayo}} - There aren't that many Level entries to grant them a subpage.
#{{User|Baby Luigi}} Per Tucayo
#{{User|LeftyGreenMario}} We can probably do both levels and places for a BJAODN page (since a big amount of the entries in "Other" pertain to places and levels), but "there aren't that many Level entries to grant them a subpage.".
#{{User|King Pikante}} Per LGM.

===Comments===
This is somewhat related, but the reason the "Comments" header wouldn't show properly is that [[User:Rpg_gamer/sig|Rpg_gamer's signature]] from the section above was not coded properly (it doesn't have the <nowiki></break></nowiki> parameters at the end), so it messes up the coding for the rest of the page. I changed it to the standard <nowiki>{{User|Rpg_gamer}}</nowiki>, so the header should be fixed now.<br>{{User:LeftyGreenMario/sig}} 23:19, 15 May 2013 (EDT)
