Comments
If there is a mistake of sort in the article, you can fix it. I'd appreciate it. Coincollector (talk)
Could a native speaker of English please check the article for grammatical errors? I think there are quite a few, but I'm not a native speaker either, so it'd be great if someone else could do that. I'll oppose only in case nobody does it in time :) Time Q (talk)
I tried to rewrite some parts, fixing the grammar and other little things. I forgot to tell you while Time Q did his first comment. Anyway, thanks for fixing those things I hadn't noticed. Coincollector (talk)
- I did notice you fixed some parts, but - no offense - you're not a native speaker, and it's always good to let a native speaker check something we want to put on the main page. Time Q (talk)
Okay, thanks. On a different note, currently there are two different spellings of "kart" in the article: capitalized "Kart" and non-capitalized "kart". We should decide for one, but which? Time Q (talk)
- I think "kart" because it's not a proper noun. Yoshario (talk)
- I just checked several manuals, and in 64 the term is treated like a proper noun (i.e. it's capitalized). It's not capitalized in the manuals of the other games SMK (here it's even spelled "cart"), Double Dash, DS and Wii. Well, even though the "kart" spelling seems to prevail, one source shows that "Kart" is a proper noun in the Mario series, and thus it should be capitalized. That's just my opinion though. Time Q (talk)
