Meh. Improper or not, I've never cared for having to conform to overly stiff and proper standards. Write in a way that feels natural.

  • The fishing rod description is SERIOUSLY messed up.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.18.229 (talk • contribs)

Granted, Wikipedia is too picky; however this article seems far more like a FAQ rather than an encyclopedia article. It's supposed to give info about the game, not gameplay hints and the like. - Seph Belmont 02:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Revision

I, too, edited quite a bit on the "you" and "your" inclusions. I changed most of them to "the player" or "the character" and followed up with subsequent subject-verb agreements. I also worked a bit with some phrasing that was hard to follow. If there is a serious problem with any of that, by all means, correct it.

This is entirely opinion, but it seems to me as if some of this was copied directly from some sort of how-to game guide. The overall tone of large chunks of it is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article, and I wonder if it belongs here. Someone who is more well-versed on the Wiki end might want to review and revise this, for integrity's sake.

I revised it, and will check back on it later. --Gray Porpoise 22:45, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Somebody needs to add Manna and the other housewife to the characters section. --Anonymouse 11:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article Revision

As anyone who looked at the history knows, I've done quite a bit of revision to this article, mostly because I saw that it didn't read like a real encyclopedia article might. So I have taken out the "you" references and replaced them with "the player", "the character", or "your character" (The latter, I was a bit iffy about, so I might change that too at another time.)

I also rewrote a few sections, mostly just rewording them. I added a few bits of information to some of the girls' sections.

If anyone is for some reason displeased, talk to me about it and we can fix it.

[edit] MAJOR Clean up needed

All right, it seems as if this thing is turning more into a guide than an actual article concerning the game. One does not really need to know the amount of hearts required to get a large wool. If Maplestory gets a tag stating that Wikipedia is not a guide, then so should this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by James Delgado (talk • contribs) 03:58, 12 January 2007 (UTC).

To start off, the intro has unnecessary information about differences and plot, when really it should be a short summary about the game's style and basics, i.e. farming. James Delgado 04:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chickens

Should the last level be 'Golden Eggs' or 'P Eggs'? I wasn't sure when I was editing.

[edit] Necessary?

Is the secrets and glitches sections really necessary, otherwise I beleive someone should delete it.

[edit] Remove tags

Is the article cleaned-up enough to remove the tags?
I removed both tags because i think they're untrue now put them back if you feel they still belong.


[edit] Revision

I made a lot of revisions to the article including: Removing information that was only helpful to those who play the game, Re-arranging some sections, expanding on the animals to make their sections less list-like, and removing the 'minor' characters that were listed. If anyone dislikes or disagrees with these changes then feel free to change them back.

There is also another glitch within the game. When asked to harvest grapes for the winery, talk to the priest of mineral town. He speaks in japanese-in the older versions before they fixed most of the problems that is.----Sage

[edit] X-Products?

Are the X-items relevant enough to be included here? Kiko-Chan-64 03:52, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harvest moon friends of mineral town.jpg

Image:Harvest moon friends of mineral town.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
