Growth Psynergy item

Hey Aidan, there was a minor item leak during the trailer for the Smash Ultimate and Wendy's College Tailgate Tour video, so I'll provide a link below. The item, which is something resembling the Growth Psynergy item from Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, appears near 0:27, by the way.

So that's what all this fuss is about. Let me guess: you think this should go on the rumors page? I'll get to it in a couple hours or so. Aidan, the Spooky Rurouni 08:09, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

Picture rename

About the Banjo picture rename, sure, I really don't have anything creative to call it. File:SonicSpeed48HalloweenSig.pngSonic, the Speedy Spookable 21:15, 26 October 2018 (EDT)

Kirby's Crouch

According to my friends who play Melee all the time, Kirby doesn't make any noise when he goes in and out of crouch in Melee. This would make the point you undid on the Brawl Kirby page worthy of being put in the "changes" section, no? In fairness though I don't know if it makes a sound in Smash 64.

Lastly, if you're right, that little bit of info ought to be on the main Kirby page rather than specifically on his Brawl page, since it's true for Smash 4 too. John HUAH! 15:00, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

I was unsure if it was in Melee (or 64), but if it isn't there, then it's not there. But, to be quite frank, it wouldn't be that notable, since taking sound effects from home games isn't always noted (the Poké Ball item has it noted because it was changed in Smash and then Pokémon). Aidan, the Yatterman 15:13, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

So are you saying the trivia bit should be cut entirely? I think that the fact that a sound effect plays where it once did is notable enough to be placed in the "changes" section. John HUAH! 18:16, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Definitely not as a trivia point, but a change could be noted. Aidan, the Yatterman 18:21, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Ahhh okay, I was a bit confused since in your summary it said you undid my edit, when in fact you simply removed it. So should it be re-added? John HUAH! 18:29, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

That might've been my intention, but given what we've discussed, I think it can be justified as a change for Brawl. Aidan, the Yatterman 18:39, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Music (SSBU)

I tried putting in collapsible sections for each universe's music selection, but whenever I put it on the Mega Man section, it makes the Pac-Man through Namco sections disappear and only reappear when showing the Mega Man music. Do you think you could help me? File:SonicSpeed48HalloweenSig.pngSonic, the Speedy Spookable 15:39, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

To be completely honest, I'm not sure; it works for others (even ones after Mega Man, like Pac-Man), but solely not on Mega Man. Aidan, the Yatterman 17:46, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Replicate the issue and save it. I'll look into it. Serpent  King 17:48, 31 October 2018 (EDT)

Galeem's name

"Kirakira" (キラキラ) is the Japanese sound effect/onomatopoeia for "shine," "sparkle," or "twinkle." Galeem's Japanese name is Kiira (キーラ), a sort of elongated corruption of that, while his English name is an elongated corruption of the related word "gleam". Given this obvious connection in both languages with the whole "light" motif, I think we should appropriately capture the significance of the Japanese name in the article. SuperFalconBros (talk) 15:11, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

I'm going to argue against that, since Japanese names aren't their meaning, unless it's a specific word. Aidan, the Yatterman 16:05, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

I'm not sure what you mean by that. キーラ is not an actual Japanese name, or a real word at all. Just like Galeem, it's a corruption of a word for a sparkle of light. This is the same situation with タブー (Tabuu), except it had to be localized this time. SuperFalconBros (talk) 17:29, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

Well, the name Kira has been localized as "Kira" before (and I actually had no idea that it was that onomatopoeia for shining so I guess that fits but I digress), so I don't think it's supposed to be anything but Kira. Aidan, the Yatterman 17:36, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

Light's name in Death Note is キラ (Kira), not キーラ (Kiira). And while some languages are indeed localizing Galeem's name as some form of "Kira" (German and Korean, for example), I think the ones that aren't are very telling. Consider the Spanish, "Lúmina" (not sure what Spanish word this is closest to, but it's obviously related to "luminous" and "illumination"), and Russian, "Сиян" ("Siyan," where the Russian for "shine" is "сияние" or "siyaniye"). SuperFalconBros (talk) 17:49, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

But the point I'm trying to make is that that is the name. It's not trying to be something else; Kīra is the name. Aidan, the Yatterman 19:08, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

(indent) Okay, I agree with that and I'm not looking to change the romanization, just make sure that we adequately note the connection of the name in the article. SuperFalconBros (talk) 19:28, 1 November 2018 (EDT)

Someone keeps putting the Vergeben stuff on the leaks page.

I've been following the Vergeben stuff for a while. Even when the guy leaked the Ninja Turtles for Injustice 2. Shouldn't the Vergeben leaks be put in the rumors page until all the claims are real. There's an IP that's messing up the page adding the Vergeben leaks to the Leak page. He keeps coming back to put Vergeben's leaks on the page despite it not being 100% real at the moment. I think we need the page protected for this situation.

On a side note, I missed the RFA debate and I'm a bit late on this but Congratulations on being promoted to an admin. You definitely deserved it. Even with Emmett coming out of retirement, this adminship is definitely a good accomplishment for you in the year of 2018. Falcon-X (Freedom House) 10:48, 2 November 2018 (EDT)
