The 'Shroom:Issue 204/The 'Shroom Spotlight
Hello, all you readers of The 'Shroom, and welcome to Spotlight. Spotlight is a community project which aims to fix up the articles on the wiki which have issues. These issues can range from poor writing, to a lack of images, to even just needing a credible source.
Spring is fast approaching, at least for those in the northern hemisphere. The outdoors is getting warm again, plants will be blooming, and most importantly, it's also time for some spring cleaning! Thankfully, spring cleaning here doesn't mean cleaning out closets or washing floors. Instead, it's things you can do from the comfort of a chair in the sun. Before that, let's go over last month's focuses.
Starting off, Sparks (talk) created the article for Pokipede Pass and even created the articles for over 20 other levels in Super Mario Bros. Wonder! As Mario would say, "Wonderful!" For Point's article, Alexo (talk) added sections for both Super Mario Advance and Super Mario Advance 2 and OmegaRuby (talk) added an image showing the score bar Super Mario Bros. Dine2017 (talk) improved the quality for File:SleepySheepAttack.png which means I'll finally sleep well. Finally, RetroNintendo2008 (talk) and Mariofan28047 (talk) exceeded my expectations and were able to incorporate four trivia points into the main body of Cackletta's article. Excellent work all around.
And now onto this month's focuses:
| Article | Category | Focuses |
|---|---|---|
| For how integral the 2D sections are to the identity of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, it's surprising to see that the 2D events don't have a page yet. Get this focus done and you might earn a medal. | ||
| It's about time the Super Mario RPG remake is the subject of a focus. This article looks close to being complete to me, but are there any mechanics to this that haven't been mentioned? | ||
| The sections under "general information" still look too brief given the amount of improvements this article has gone through in the past year. Some locations listed as being in the Mushroom Kingdom also seem dubious to me, especially some of the Mario Kart race courses. | ||
| What better way is there to celebrate the start of spring than with a Spring Flower? Unfortunately, we still need a picture of one. | ||
| Our collection of Wii media is almost complete, it just needs a few more additions. All that's left to add are the Disc Channel jingles for Donkey Kong Barrel Blast and Wario Land: Shake It! | ||
| While Heart Block is a pretty obvious name for a block with a heart on it, it's also an unsourced name. Have a heart and find a source for this name. |
Now just before I leave you, I'd like to tell you about unimplemented proposals. There are currently forty-three that need to be implemented, dating as far back as 2020, so think of this as a continuous Spotlight goal until they're all completed. Additionally, there are many unresolved discussions that we would love to see come to some sort of conclusion. Some might have already concluded and just need the template removed, others have been waiting for a response for years.
Thanks for tuning in to the newest edition of The 'Shroom Spotlight! Be sure to turn up next month, where we'll be reviewing the progress on the above focuses. If you have any questions or suggestions about this month's set of the article focuses, then please get in touch through the dedicated topic if you have a forum account. If not, then please contact me on my talk page, but you are far more likely to get a quick response if you go through the forums. You are also welcome to make suggestions on what you think we could focus on in our next edition! Thank you, and good luck!
