Hello! I am Blue Ninjakoopa for those who do not know me, and I'm a fan of Pikmin. I'm at most gaming Wikis contributing as much as I can, so I thought I should drop by here to help out.
Ok, first of all, I think that each enemy page should have the official artwork in the infobox, rather than the screenshots, which should be put somewhere else in the article or in a gallery. Also, wth? That's kinda weird... but I must abide by the rules if I strive for adminship, this being the only thing I seek to change.
I made the mistake of editing the pages without asking the community. What do you all think of my idea? Official art in the infoboxes, or screenshots, which can be described using thmbnail captions? User:Blue Ninjakoopa/Sig 23:25, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- You put the forum under the wrong watercooler. The MarioGalaxy2433g5 {talk/contribs/Logs} 23:53, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

- Why? I don't mean to sound harsh, but you need a valid reason. Blue NinjakoopaTalk 03:47, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
- As I've said, I prefer screenshots. The reasons for this are that they often look more interesting, since they have a background and...things...though I understand why you might prefer a simple image in the infobox. They're also what you see in the game - I'm not saying it's hard to link the concept art/screenshots, but the graphics are different, and I think that it's better to have in-game material more prominent on pages. Also, clicking on the image, you might expect to get a larger view of it, and more people are going to be clicking on infobox images: most if not all of the concept art images are 180px wide or less, and so are not only a bit disappointing to those that click on them hoping for a larger image, but restrict the article's infobox image size.
- And as for the galleries, I have no idea what they're there for; I never liked them, but never really thought to do anything about it since they've been there for years, before I arrived. GP
- Well, I can fix that problem. I disagree with this idea of having the screenshots there entirely, but I'm still willing to contribute, no matter how hard you and Crystal lucario try to make it. Can I at least put the official artwork in a gallery on the article? Blue NinjakoopaTalk 20:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
