[edit] Proposed Project

I suggest we try and get Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee to GA Status(es) by the release date of Brawl. I feel we should make this our main priority now. If someone would like to go over the GA Criteria again and post what changes we need to make, that would be awesome. :D Trevor "Tinkleheimer" Haworth 16:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Players

Can we add the playable table?--DarkFierceDeityLink 21:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] What we need to watch for

If we plan on getting those articles to GA status, we should get our priorities in order. I think this is a good list of things to keep in mind when trying to improve the article. To reach GA status, these articles must:

  • maintain good grammar and prose.
  • be objective and unbiased.
  • avoid original research.
  • have reliable sources for major statements that may be challenged.
  • stay on topic.
  • address all important aspects of the subject.
  • avoid unnecessary details.
  • avoid cruft.
  • not use copyrighted or plagiarized material.
  • not be the subject of an edit war.
  • use images that illustrate a point, and sparingly.

I think we should add that list to the article.→041744 20:37, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] So far

so far idiots have already tried to vandalize this page I say we get protection.--DarkFierceDeityLink 00:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Box art

Can someone add a box art of all 3 super smash games? and below it with a short description.--DarkFierceDeityLink 02:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Sure, i'll add the first paragraph of each game's section in the series article with the picture to the right hand column. Feel free to move it around.→041744 21:21, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
There's no need to have it on the page...this isn't a portal, it's a task force. --Son (talk) 22:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] We should do a mass Update on January 24.

Super Smash Bros Brawl comes out in Japan on January 24, and we should try to get all the information we can when it is released. Fangz of Blood 21:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I do not think that the page itself really needs a mass update on Brawl. This task force is there to help improve the Smash Bros articles, not post updates on Brawl.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 00:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

Perhaps we should consider creating a barnstar for people doing outstanding jobs working on the articles. The Playstation WikiProject has one.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 00:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Good idea, maybe some modified version of the final smash item? Fangz of Blood 04:10, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be something like the smash ball.--DarkFierceDeityLink 04:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lucario,Ness and Jiggly

Someone had added them to the playable table. They are NOT confirmed. That video was too blurry to tell whether it was them. Also, they could be just stickers.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 01:18, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Please note that the stickers would be on top and characters are on the bottom, if you look at the video carefully the stickers on top are just stickers once you click on them they show you which Characters can use those stickers, also do to the fact the video was edited once people found out about Lucario, Ness and Jiggalypuff it means that they wanted to surprise us with Ness by keep telling fans "Up until now" and "Do you remember Ness?" also why would stickers be on the bottom they would be too small for people to see its proven that all three characters are in Pokemon.com stated that Lucario and Jiggly are in. Different web sites all over the world have Lucario, Ness and Jiggalypuff as confirmed. Please don't change them to "x" or "?".--Lbrun12415 07:33, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Also note here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucario .--Lbrun12415 07:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Our First GA!!!!!

Ssbm is now a GA!!! We have passed our first milestone.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 21:31, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey there

I'd just like to say hello here and that I think this is a great task force. Hopefully, Super Smash Bros. Melee should make FA in the near future, as it narrowly failed, with four opposes and three supports (one provisional oppose at the account of instability). Brawl and Melee. could make FA, and the other two GA; so with this in mind, a Featured Topic seems entirely possible. Thanks. Ashnard Talk Contribs 23:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

This is true. I am working on Super Smash Bros. right now to get it to GA.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 16:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Our Second GA!

Super Smash Bros. is our second GA.--Smashbrosboy (talk) 00:19, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Under playable

Under play able we should add a full roster which I have but don't know how to add it it should look like this when its done.

Main article: Super Smash Bros. playable characters

Maybe an image but not that table again.Smashbrosboy 00:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] We have work to do

There is a lot of vandalism on Brawl's page. We have to keep an eye on it. Now that it has been released, everyone thinks they know everything about it.Smashbrosboy 22:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Super Smash Bros. Melee is an FA!

Good news, eh? I guess we're one step closer to the Featured Topic. Ashnard Talk Contribs 07:38, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Games

In my opinion, the games section should be moved to the main part of the page, instead of the side table. It'll look less bulky that way. --haha169 (talk) 04:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

We could move the userbox to the side table. --haha169 (talk) 04:29, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Smash Bros series article up for GA review

Get on those corrections! I nominated it for you guys and even got a reviewer, so do your magic! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 20:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

It's really close, just add a few references to the boss section and format a few of the references, and it's GA. Someone push it over the top! :) Judgesurreal777 (talk) 22:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
It passed, great job! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 05:07, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Brawl is going for FA

Remember to leave comments on it. We need to nip any edit wars that spring up in the bud.--Smashbrosboy 02:09, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Bummer, it didn't make it.--Smashbrosboy 02:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Super Smash Bros. was delisted!

Guys, lets work on this until it gets back to its rightful status of GA!--Smashbrosboy 02:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Then, lets work on organizing a list of sources below and start from there. (All the Google searches I've conducted ends up with Melee or Brawl. I can't find enough sources that point towards the original, even if I put in the original afterwards.) --haha169 (talk) 03:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ANNOUNCEMENT: WE HAVE A NEW CO-OWNER

Congratulations to haha169 for becoming the co-owner of the Smash Bros Task force.--Smashbrosboy 23:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations, but... I hate to be a killjoy, but how does being an owner work on a wiki in which anybody can edit? What duties do they partake in and what "special powers" do they have? I'm sorry if I seem rude—I may be completely wrong. Ashnard Talk Contribs 15:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Ashnard, Ashnard, Ashnard, so skeptical... I, for one, welcome our new SmashBros overlords! Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
I think I'll be the Judge of that ;-). Only joking. No, I think Haha will be geat as a co-owner, whatever that may entail. Ashnard Talk Contribs 17:29, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much! Sorry for the late reply...I hadn't noticed that someone left a comment here. (Sorry) Too busy admiring my new smashball image. lolz But really, thanks! It means a lot to me. --haha169 (talk) 05:46, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
And Ashnard, I don't really think we have "special powers". We just get to wear a unique userbox on our userpages! :P --haha169 (talk) 05:47, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
