| While it is true that we do not usually bring up spelling in articles, it is far from obvious that it is pronounced in such an ungrammatical way; most people would assume it rhymes with [[Bazuka]]. And of course, there's the fact that "Kachucker" isn't a word, so people wouldn't immediately get the pun; conversely, "Kuchooka" sounds vaguely like an artillery onomatopoeia, so there's even more reason for people to incorrectly assume that's the intended pronunciation. The Japanese name is the only one that even hints at the pun, simply because the English spelling is so counter-intuitive. See?

| :There's no way to know what "most people would assume" in a case like this, and we can't go around making arbitrary exceptions, especially not ones based on something as weak as "most people assume." Perhaps we could mention its pronunciation in the first sentence within parentheses, but we'd also need to decide which other character names have unclear pronunciations and mention them there as well.

| ::Given that its pronunciation is outright ungrammatical relative to its spelling, that'd probably be for the best. The others seem to follow basic annunciation rules more concisely.

| There's absolutely no question that in the localized versions of TTYD, the Syndicate is based off of the Mafia., though I hear that in the Japanese version, they're based off of the Yakuza. Anyways, they are certainly based off of varying real-life crime syndicates, with the accents in the localized versions being a dead ringer for stereotypical "Mafia"-type characters. Also of note is that one of them asks Mario if he would consider joining, which is interesting given Mario's own Italian heritage and the rules of the real-life Mafia regarding that. Anyways, I don't see a problem with noting the general idea. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 01:42, 16 June 2018 (EDT)

| Would you believe me if I told you that, despite knowing all the main memes from a rather young age, I didn't actually start watching them regularly until I got to college (and needed something to do when out of class, and no one would be bothered by the noise, and the internet was OK)? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:23, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| :Yeah, I'd believe that. College was where I discovered Fesh Pince (it was introduced to me by my suitemates, which was very unexpected but shows how diverse college can be). Do you have a favorite YouTube Poop, or a favorite creator? [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 21:28, April 13, 2019 (EDT)
| |
| ::My favorite YTP would probably be ''Crustacean Resurrection Redemption'' or the ''Mashed Bandicoot'' ones (made by NPCarllson), but my favorite YTP creator is probably Jimmy Davis.

| :::I haven't seen those but I'll check them out. I recommend Deepercutt (a good way to get started with him is to watch the tennis match between him and Captpan, another good creator), Kroboproductions (especially "King Dedede inhales a negative Ion", but he's best known for Fesh Pince), DaThings1, and CS188. My favorite YTP is "Ganon Thinks Your Face will Burn Him." [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 21:46, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

| ::::Try "the Decayer App" from Jimmy Davis, the other ones I mentioned are fairly long. I've seen the Dedede inhales one (along with several permutations of it) as well....there's also an extremely vulgar nonsensical speech from K. Rool in "King K. Rool Files a Complaint at Super Disney Land 3" by Geibuchan I can quote off the top of my head (and in fact did while unlocking him in Smash) [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:49, April 13, 2019 (EDT)

| Hi, just letting you know the reason [https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Monty_Mole_(Flower_Fields)&curid=142283&diff=2929519&oldid=2929517 this edit] didn't work is because you didn't change the name in the [[Paper Mario bestiary|bestiary]]. It's fixed now. {{User:Niiue/sig}} 00:15, April 20, 2020 (EDT)
| |
| :I see. Thanks! [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 00:57, April 20, 2020 (EDT)

| Hey it's no problem. porple used automated bot script to replace file names wiki-wide, and I decided to go through the manual effort of replacing them seeing as you thanked him on his talk page :) Oh and btw, I noticed you've had some history with contributing niwa wikis -- i've noticed because i've contributed a lot to Wikirby and Lylat Wiki & cleared out some old stuff from both places to make them more user friendly, if you want to take a look.

| :Yep, I helped them out a bit and attempted to do a merger but unfortunately that fell through and I went back to their Wikia counterparts. I'll be sure to check those out, I've always loved their css, especially WiKirby's. :) [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|Blue Ninjakoopa]] ([[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|talk]]) 16:20, April 26, 2020 (EDT)

| Hello. I'm going over our staff listing on Lylat Wiki, and I noticed you haven't made an edit there since 2011, which was around the time of the Wikia move, as it appears you were more active on Arwingpedia afterward. Are you planning on resuming activity, or are you fine with demotion? Asking here as I'm not sure you'd get a notification from Lylat Wiki. {{User:Alex95/sig}} 12:26, May 10, 2020 (EDT)
