As I said, an "alias" denotes a separate identity that the character goes by. The big problem is that the majority of the aliases is simply a bunch of insults (and the occasional compliment). Saying that an insult like "Lasagna Lovin' Loser" or "Wretched Fool" (that's an "alias", ''really''?) is somehow an alias is not giving our wiki any credibility. Just renaming the section to "nicknames and insults" is ridiculous, and they don't illustrate Mario's character other than, well, he has a lot of enemies. Oh, [[Luigi|The Eternal Understudy]] has a [[Luigi#Nicknames|similar problem]]. He must have adopted his nickname of "Plunger Puss". Once the alias/nickname section is removed, just relocate actual aliases (like Butch Mario, Sherlock Mario, Captain Kidder, and Dr. Mario) to the main body of the article or at least have a mention in "alternate outfits" since a lot of actual aliases do come with an outfit change. Heck, something is wrong when "Dr. Mario" is referred to an alias, but only because someone called him that. Isn't it more obvious to say that Dr. Mario is an actual alias? The term "alias" is abused here, and I'm thankful "alias" isn't frequently misused in every day speak. | As I said, an "alias" denotes a separate identity that the character goes by.
