 * Can you crop the white borders off the sides of Image:Mario Party 4.jpg? (I use bjweeks for this if (like me) photoshop is your sworn enemy.)
 * Woah, woah, woah, slow down, Giggy. I don't have a clue about images. I catually got User: The Prince of Darkness to upload the image because I've never done iot before. Assistance please?
 * Don't worry, I'm pretty bad with images too. I got User:Gazimoff to fix it up and upload a new copy. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No wlink to Mario Party (series) in the lead or infobox?
 * Done in the infobox. Should I put it in the lead too?
 * Yeah, I think you should mention the series in the lead. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * General note; this is the only Mario Party game I've played (IIRC), and I loved it. So there. :-)
 * Only played 4 and 5. It's been going steadily down hill&mdash;Mario Party 8 couldn't have been more of a missed opportunity. They had the Wiimote and they still fluffed it up.
 * Wow. Is it possible to stuff up with a Wiimote? —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "The objective of the game is to earn as many stars as possible,[1] which are obtained by purchase from a single predefined space on the game board. Each character's movement is determined by a roll of a die,[2]" - does this stuff (in the lead) really need citation?
 * Removed.


 * Tell me if my grammar sucks (on any change I make, in general).
 * Should be the other way around&mdash;you tell me if my grammar sucks. I commonly make that mistake; I was looking at "turns" instead of minigame.


 * "Stars are usually attained by landing on the space on the board which it is set on, with the location changing after every acquisition." - this is somewhat unclear; I know "the space" = the space on which the star sits, and that the location of the star changes after someone getting it, but I've played. Try and clarify if you can.
 * Reworded. Better?
 * Yep - did another minor reword myself. —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * "Mario Party 4 features six boards, five of which taking their name from a secondary Mario character" - if there's no wlink to a character list you can give an example of a secondary character. Oh, and "taking their name" --> "take their name"?
 * Done


 * "Mario Party 4 features eight playable characters, although they do not have any different gameplay attributes from each other." - somewhat tacked on and should probably go earlier in the section, I'd say.
 * Done


 * So, what, this game just popped out of the sky? :-) Very little on development - is that all there is to say? (Oh and it wouldn't hurt to cite the voice actors to somewhere, though it's not compulsory.)
 * I'm afraid so. For this reason, it's very difficult to get a non-AAA Mario title to FA. The only reason I got so much for Mario Power Tennis is because Camelot made it. I've cited Charles Martinet to IMDB, but I don't know if that's a reliable source.
 * It's probably OK for his appearing on there. Hmm... strange there's so little info out there for such a big franchise. Shrug.


 * "Mario Party 4 received a generally mixed response from critics, although the game was widely criticised for a lack of originality" - if it was mixed you should say something positive too.
 * Done


 * "exhausted themselves on previous Mario Party titles may not find enough here to draw them back again" - should Mario Party be in italics?
 * Done


 * Hmm... Game Informer isn't used at all in the reception section?
 * I know you have a thing about this. I don't have the material, so should I remove or replace.
 * Sorry, my bad, I always forget to check if you're citing Game Rankings or something else. Don't worry about it. :-) —Giggy 09:26, 17 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No Metacritic?
 * Done

That's about it - please leave me a note when done. Cheers, —Giggy 09:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Addressed issues. Left questions for some. Thanks, Giggy. Ashnard Talk  Contribs  17:50, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Added "It is the fourth game in the Mario Party series." Do you think it needs a reference? ;-) Ashnard  Talk  Contribs  10:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It might... ;-) —Giggy 12:00, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
