3. Is it ok to cite sites like Niconico which require one to log in to watch a video? (They have some really nice videos on niconico, such as [http://www.nicovideo.jp/mylist/31873609 tattle collections] which can be used to determine the Japanese names of NPCs in ''Paper Mario'' and ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''.) | 3.

4. The Japanese versions of some games such as ''Paper Mario'' don't have furigana. In cases where a Japanese name has a single kanji, it is sometimes difficult to determine the reading of the kanji. For example, in the case of "ゴツゴツ山" ([[Mt. Rugged]]), some editors romanize the kanji "山" as "san", following its on'yomi. I once noticed a character from the Japanese version of ''Paper Mario'' shouting the name in "hiragana mode" as "ゴツゴツやま", so I changed the romanization to use the kun'yomi "yama". But I'm not sure if there's another character who spells it as "ゴツゴツさん", though. In cases like this, is there a rule to use on'yomi or kun'yomi for single kanji in the romanization if the game does not indicate one? I also wonder who's going to take care of the Japanese-language related issues in the post-Walkazo era of the wiki. Neither [[ | 4.
