On Strife Monolith, "Our world isn't simply black or white, right or wrong Everybody is different." In between wrong and everybody, there should be a period. I'm looking at the game screen right now.

:Corrected, also noticed that And wasn't capitalized <_<. Thanks for the notice.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

On the page [[Notes:Water Dumple/louie|Water Dumple/louie]] I just played the game and I edited the notes. It didn't make sense previously; how do you deep-fry dumples for all the flavor with HALF the fat? It was missing "without batter", so I added that...

:Is that what it actually says in the game? God, I can't believe I messed that up. ...Actually, no, I can. I do stuff like that a lot. {{user:Jimbo Jambo/sig}}

One of the Wikia's projects is the notes for the Pikmin 1 parts. Well, the ones that do exist have no color. I really think/recommend adding color to the text, to be even more original. If you remember, color is added via:

<nowiki><span style="color:</nowiki>'''color'''">'''text'''<nowiki></span></nowiki> <span style="color:grey;">[SRB2]</span><span style="color:#800080;"><u>''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''</u></span><sup>[[User_Talk:Espyo|T]]</sup> 20:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the colour in the game is only to highlight important words, isn't it? Would it be appropriate to have those coloured, and is there any need for it?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}

On Olimar's journal entry for the Extreme Perspirator, it says, "People could '''walk''' up a good sweat with this thing." Shouldn't that be work up? [[User:Emperor Bulblax|Emperor Bulblax]] ([[User talk:Emperor Bulblax|talk]]) 14:23, 29 September 2012 (EDT)
:Just checked in-game, you're right. Fixed. You could post that on the treasure's talk page next time though, it'd be better organized. — '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 08:08, 30 September 2012 (EDT)

== Sud Generator and Harmonic Synthesizer ==

Both of these journal entries had a glaring error. I already fixed them; the [[Sud Generator]] had "and" instead of "an", and for the [[Harmonic Synthesizer]], the correct spelling is "their", not "thier". --[[User:Luigifan|Luigifan]] ([[User talk:Luigifan|talk]]) 16:11, 21 July 2013 (EDT)

== Open Architecture ==

I think both the journal and the sales pitch for [[Open Architecture|this item]] are erroneous. However, given that this is a PAL-exclusive item, they may actually conform to European grammar standards. Could somebody please check this for me? --[[User:Luigifan|Luigifan]] ([[User talk:Luigifan|talk]]) 16:10, 21 July 2013 (EDT)

:It sounded wrong (as in how it flowed) if you said it out loud, so I removed it. The editor didn't classify it as spelled wrong, though it ''did'' classify the word "amongst" as wrong, so I'm not sure it can be trusted. -<span style="font-family:times; color:#2C3539">'''''[[User: Los Plagas|Los]] [[User Talk:Los Plagas|<span style="color:#FF0000">Plagas</span>]]'''''</span>

::Sorry, disregard my last post, I  thought you were referring to the opening sentence. However, I noticed several grammatical and spelling errors, so I fixed them.

:::Aha! Fixed it! The problem that I think you are referring to is the fact that, in the Sales Pitch, these words are present: "Its a shame". That is actually an in-game error, as is noted on the template for the Sales Pitch. -<span style="font-family:times; color:#2C3539">'''''[[User: Los Plagas|Los]] [[User Talk:Los Plagas|<span style="color:#FF0000">Plagas</span>]]'''''</span>

On Iridesent	Glint Beetle/Olimar, Olimar isn't capitalized. Sorry. I don't know of that was something worth bringing up, but it was just something I noticed.

==Survival Ointment==

The notes for the Survival Ointment [[Notes:Survival_Ointment/journal|here]] are for the Gamecube version. For the Wii version, they just added a coma. The notes for the Wii version are:

"In a survival situation, the most important things are water, courage, and a first-aid kit. I've got water and an endless supply of courage, but I don't have a first-aid kit. Sometimes I don't have a whole lot of motivation, either. I may be a daring explorer, but sometimes I just want to loaf around all day and sleep. Wait... What if the president reads this journal? Uh... Ahem... I'd never dream of slacking on the job! Yeah..."

As you can see, a coma was added between "motivation" and "either" (line 2). [[User:Marty|Marty]] ([[User talk:Marty|talk]]) 17:16, 7 June 2016 (EDT)

==Ranging bloyster==
I found an entry about Louie's notes on the Ranging Bloyster through the [[Mistakes]] page, but the text from the game didn't have a mistake in it. (It's a spelling which is correct in American English, though it looks odd to British and Irish readers.) I edited the "Mistakes" entry, added a note in the trivia of the page "Ranging bloyster" explaining it, and edited the "sic" out of the notes [[Notes:Ranging_Bloyster/louiegc]] and [[Notes:Ranging_Bloyster/louiewiius]]. Only after that, I saw the text saying that I should've posted here instead of editing the notes myself. Apologies, I really should've paid more attention. [[Special:Contributions/213.205.194.97|213.205.194.97]] 10:54, May 15, 2020 (EDT)

:Righto. The idea of the notice is to stop people from changing the text when they ''think'' the text is meant to be different, since the idea is for the pages with this template to be 100% pure copies of the in-game text, and not subject to be changed. Stuff like this is fine. Anyway, that said, the European version of Pikmin 2 doesn't change any Americanism, so I don't think we should make special mention of this one. It's simpler to just delete it outright. I'll also add a note to the NPC! article to point out how they also changed a bunch of American terms and spellings to British versions. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 13:14, May 15, 2020 (EDT)

==The Key==
I edited [[Notes:The_Key/ship]] to fix a typo, before seeing the notice to post here instead. I did double-check the in-game text (American version of GC Pikmin 2, cutscene when bringing back the key on Citadel of Spiders 5) to ensure the game doesn't have the typo, before editing. Judging from the above section, it sounds like it should be all right? But I thought I should leave a note here to be sure; there might be version differences to account for? [[User:Karisa|Karisa]] ([[User talk:Karisa|talk]]) 03:48, October 8, 2020 (EDT)
:For cases like this, where the person confirms, it's pretty fine. That said, I did go ahead and double-checked the files for all versions and regions, and that extra "a" is nowhere. So yeah, it really was a transcription error, good work! &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 11:26, October 8, 2020 (EDT)

== Prototype Detector ==

There is a small typo in the ship's dialogue about the Prototype Detector when it first drops from the Empress Bulblax. "'''I''' must have been ingested" should be an "'''It''' must have been ingested." I checked a few let's play videos and whatnot and confirmed that this isn't a typo made in-game either, this is definitely a transcription error.

==Notes:Justice Alloy/journal==
Says "Snarget" instead of "Snagret", doubled checked original description and it's correctly spelled "Snagret" as well  [[User:Sparrow44124|Sparrow44124]] ([[User talk:Sparrow44124|talk]]) 21:01, June 27, 2023 (EDT)

==Incorrect formatting of Olimar's Notes on Anode Beetle==
[[Notes:Anode Beetle/olimar|Olimar's Notes on the Anode Beetle]] does not follow the formatting present in the Piklopedia itself (at least, it does not do so for Pikmin 4), where there should be a line break after "[...] glycogen for its energy." and "[...] generates the electrical charge." and "[...] creatures in the immediate vincinity." This formatting is present for notes that are not within the Notes category, such as all of Dalmo's Notes within Enemy pages, and this should be fixed for consistency purposes. [[User:CottageCory|CottageCory]] ([[User talk:CottageCory|talk]]) 13:23, 31 July 2023 (EDT)

==Time Marker Notes are transcriptions from incorrect treasure==
[[Notes:Time Marker/olimar|Olimar's]] and [[Notes:Time Marker/schnauz|Schnauz's]] notes on the Time Marker appear to be copies of their notes on the Path Creator. Louie's notes are correct, however. --[[User:Beylese|Beylese]] 20:47, 15 Jan 2023 (EDT)
:All fixed. Thanks for the heads-up. &mdash; '''{''[[User:Espyo|Espyo]]''<sup>[[User talk:Espyo|T]]</sup>}''' 17:09, January 26, 2024 (EST)
