The paragraph about the Super Mario Wiki used for the step-by-step example could use a little work. The line, "The wiki was created on August 12th, 2005 by Porplemontage but has not grown active until the '''past six months'''," is dated and sounds unprofessional. The statistics could also be updated, though that would be more for posterity than aesthetics. Also, the line "In most of these games, the plumber Mario saves Princess Peach from Bowser, is the main antagonist, such as in ''New Super Mario Bros.''" has improper grammar: it should be "In most of these games, the plumber Mario saves Princess Peach from Bowser, '''who''' is the main antagonist '''in titles such as''' ''New Super Mario Bros.''", or something along those lines. Finally, the link to the ''Mario'' series should read <nowiki>[[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]</nowiki>, and all the other series names should be italicized as well. Since this a pretty major redo, I didn't want to go ahead and just do it, in case that would be overstepping my bounds; so I brought it here to the talk page instead. - {{User:Walkazo/sig}} 23:28, 7 November 2008 (EST) | The paragraph about the Super Mario Wiki used for the step-by-step example could use a little work.

:Sounds good to me, and what about removing the "you" in that paragraph? The next section after Describing the Article states No "You"s. {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}} | :Sounds good to me, and what about removing the "you" in that paragraph?
