I'm proposing this Wiki-tan to be the site mascot. It's similar to Wikipe-tan, but more in an earthbound-style. Created by PreacherJr of the Earthbound Amino.

:lol uh... the artwork is nice but I'm not entirely sure if this is suited for this wiki. After all we usually don't see fanart on wikis in general.

:Don't mean to double post but I felt I should be more specific: My concern with this one is that it looks more like a generic anime character rather than something to represent EarthBound. <small>(As a disclaimer I have nothing against anime and people who like it and I find weebs to be at least somewhat tolerable <s>unlike furries</s>)</small> While this character does wear Paula's dress she doesn't fit well in an encyclopedia dedicated to EarthBound, if this was an EarthBound fansite yes she would work, but this is a public encyclopedia so it's something different. | :Don't mean to double post but I felt I should be more specific: My concern with this one is that it looks more like a generic anime character rather than something to represent EarthBound. <small>(As a disclaimer I have nothing against anime and people who like it and I find weebs to be at least somewhat tolerable <s>unlike furries</s>)</small> While this character does wear Paula's dress she doesn't fit well in an encyclopedia dedicated to EarthBound, if this was an EarthBound fansite yes she would work, but this is a public encyclopedia so it's something different. | ||
:The reason I suggested Ness and Saturn is since they are both among the most iconic and recognized characters in the EarthBound series, after all the italian WikiBound has Ness on the logo. As a result they would fot well for the community driven EarthBound/Mother encyclopedia (btw how come the slogan doesn't appear on pages or on Google search?

::::I don't actually own the EarthBound one, but from what it seems like is it's basically the Mother 2 counterpart to the Mother 1 guide. A little while ago I was able to find a collection of the item pages on Starmen.net's Mother 1+2 item guide, which contain all of the other items besides the weapons have the English names right next to the items[http://starmen.net/mother12/itemguides/mother2/weapons/weapons.php] (which makes it more convenient and a lot easier to translate the names so it's a plus for me). I don't have the M2 player's guide, and from what it seems both that and the EarthBound player's guide don't have pictures of every item in the game, so eventually I plan to use this and upload the illustrations of all of the items in the game. Whichever book these came from is the one I'm using, I'll try to find out more about it. If I (or others too) find out more about the books, I for one would like to have articles about the various strategy guides released, though for now I probably might only be able to do the one I'm using for EBB. | ::::I don't actually own the EarthBound one, but from what it seems like is it's basically the Mother 2 counterpart to the Mother 1 guide.
