Is adding the HRA against WP:NOT?

I wouldn't think so, so I'm going to add it in under "House improvements". As in, ...can be customized in a number of ways, including roof color, furniture, the music (if any) that plays when a player enters the house, wallpaper, and flooring. These customizations are judged by the Happy Room Academy (or HRA), on a point scale. While your HRA score does not affect gameplay, some players enjoy getting as high of a score as possible. I'm going to add that in for the moment, and attempt to make it flow with the rest of the section. Theman98 (talk) 17:42, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

More info

I think there should be more info on the places, like tom nooks' shop and the museum and town gate. Goldie (chattin') —Preceding undated comment added 12:58, 24 December 2009 (UTC).

Fair use rationale for Image:DnM N64 Front.jpg

Image:DnM N64 Front.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.

Help the AC WIKIA!

http://animalcrossing.wikia.com

We need people that are experienced with the wiki system to cut and paste parts of the wiki articles over.

--Aeryka the Gnome (talk) 05:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

I think there is enough on there! It is a good informative site. It has a section which shows what parts need editing. You do not have to copy and paste the whole article onto the wikia. --Goldie (chattin')

In regards to the NES games...

I noticed that the list of NES games found in Animal Crossing was removed, due to it being "game-guide information". I thought this applied to things such as what items are in the game, fruit, etc. While it is true that the games are obtainable items, they are predominately considered as being complete versions of NES games. Would a full list of NES games be considered game-guide information? I wouldn't think so. Hardcore gamer 48 (talk) 10:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Two good reliable sources that could cover most of the article

Two good reliable sources that I'm not seeing in references here are the Offical Animal Crossing Players Guide by Nintendo Power (which is owned by the game makers) and Gamewinners.com. Citing these sources would cover great portions of this article, and there might even be some encylopedic information there that we could use (but we of course must not copy the sources word for word).

Reference: Wiki

The wiki listed in the references seems to be quite out-of-date and doesn't offer much information. Sites like this Animal Crossing wiki or Animal Crossing Community should be featured as references and what-not.

Just a suggestion. ;)

Do you mean the External Links? Wikis and fansites shouldn't be used as actual references, they aren't considered reliable. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 23:20, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

Release date of Dōbutsu no Mori

Although wikis aren't considered for referencing, dedicated Animal Crossing wikis state the release of Dōbutsu no Mori was April 2001, with the + update following in December of the same year. This Wikipedia article says Dōbutsu no Mori was released in 1997, with the + update coming four years later. Neither here or the dedicated wiki has a source, so which is it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.149.100.227 (talk) 12:17, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

Animal Crossing: Population: Growing

The title is wrong, it's supposed to be "Animal Crossing: Population: Growing" you can tell just by looking at the picture, it clearly says "Population: Growing". Please update this, so each game, Wild World, City Folk, New Leaf and Population: Growing are identified, thanks.2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:6D62:3310:B0BA:DA6D (talk) 06:18, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

There is no reliable source that identifies the GameCube Animal Crossing game as "Animal Crossing: Population: Growing." Based on your personal analysis, the full title should actually be "Welcome to Animal Crossing: Population: Growing", given that that subtext also exists in the picture. Even if it is the game's true name, it is certainly not the common name. So no, the title should not be changed. --ThomasO1989 (talk) 17:26, 26 August 2014 (UTC)

Look at the picture used in the article *winks* you can't be more wrong about the name, it's IN THE PICTURE USED IN THE ARTICLE!!!2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:CCD4:AF14:1495:DCE8 (talk) 03:58, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Yes, it says that, but it's not being shown as a part of the title. Using that logic, the game would be titled Welcome to Animal Crossing: Population: Growing or something. Beyond that, both your suggestion, and my ridiculous one, fail WP:COMMONNAME, the way in which we name articles. (EDIT: Whoa, hadn't read Thomas's response. Pretty much the exact same thing. Oh well, I guess it just shows there's clearly a policy-based rationale against this.) Sergecross73 msg me 15:40, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

(Video game)?

I’m wondering why the title of this page is “animal crossing (video game)” and not “animal crossing population growing”? I believe that is the actual title. DaedalusGodOfWisdom (talk) 14:32, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
