[edit] Dunno how this'll work... but I like the idea!
Power_Box again. I got your message. Yep, that's exactly why I don't like Punctured's methods... he ripped alot of their (EliotAndrews is an account used by a team of people, I think) article into pieces. Unkindly and mercellesly. If we can bring back that article, get a bunch of cites, and avoid biases as much as possible, then PuncturedBicicle's reasons to screw us up like this will become a whole lot less effective, if not ineffective.
Still, this'll be tricky. For one thing, I don't exactly know how we'll pull this off. I really don't want to screw something like this up. Also, I don't even know how to properly cite stuff here. It's a touch... confusing to me. I'm also certain that a lot of people won't like this because we might have to go against Wiki's "anyone can edit" system. Yeah, I feel a bit nervous about what we've got going here. But still... I'd like to help make the Yoshi's Story article as reasonable as possible. That's why I joined Wiki in the first place. So I think... I'll give it a shot and hope for the best! "Be bold." That's one of Wikipedia's biggest rules if I'm not mistaken.
So please reply and tell me more about how we can do this! Thank you!
P.S: I noticed you saved the article in your user page, so you don't have to worry about sending it if you don't want to.

[edit] Help! I suck at referencing!
I wanted to add this info to the beginning of marketing and sales:
In Japan, Yoshi's Story sold 53,428 copies on the day of its release and earned the #7 rank in Famitsu magazine's top 10 best selling titles. http://ign64.ign.com/articles/061/061674p1.html
As you can see, I had a site that I could reference here. But comparing this to those other references that I see in the editing pages... I'm pathetic! Plus when I tried just typing in the site as a reference in the sandbox... it looked like it would be a total disaster! I just selected the reference button and put in the website URL between the two "ref" thingies, but I need to do much more, don't I? I'm really sorry I have to bother you about this, but could you please instruct me further on the art of referencing?
P.S: Since I'm here, here's something I want to add to the reception: http://ign64.ign.com/articles/062/062062p1.html This is fine, right?
At least PuncB can't stop us from eventually adding these pieces of official info. After all, they're from *ahem* reliable sources.

[edit] My first reference!
I followed your instuctions exactly to make a reference about Yoshi's Story winning a CESA award. It... kinda worked. It's listed with a number and all, and the link to the site works. But when you compare my reference to the others... it looks just plain weird. I'm really sorry, but I need your help... again.
Oh, if you wish to look, the CESA part was added to the end of the paragraph describing critics... initial reaction to the N64 version.

[edit] Erm... Long time, no see...
I decided to see if there's something else I can add to Yoshi's Story reception again recently, and I found this: http://wii.ign.com/articles/820/820754c.html#comments_top?p=1&s=ASC
That's the first of currently 3 pages of comments in responce to IGN's Virtual Console review of Yoshi's Story. Most of them explain that the review seemed to compare YS to Yoshi's Island all the time and that the game should be seen and enjoyed as something that ISN'T Yoshi's Island. So... is that cool? And if it is, should I use all three pages or just one?
