Hi there! First off, welcome to Kirby Wikia. I'm not admin but I'm one of the more active coders and editors here. I never edit because I want to take it out on somebody on a personal basis, but lets tackle the issues one by one.


 * Please sign your post in talk pages with four tildes. That gives your signature and marks who I'm supposed to reply to.


 * The info you put into UFO and Mr. Frosty are still there, but I paraphrased it so it's more consistent with the style of writing on Wikis. Concision is important - I often shrink and compact a lot of other edits, and precision as well. There is no official evidence supporting the relationship between Mr. Frosty and Roly-Poly, and it should be stated as such, and not "not much evidence". Do you see what I mean? If there was evidence that I did not know of, then it should be included inside the statement, and the source cited, if possible. I condensed the UFO page as well, and that's all I did to it. The info you put in is still there.


 * About Slobba, yes there is a link between Slobba and Lovely but that's a bit esoteric by general standards, and facts phrased in the manner of "both only appear in one game" .. I personally avoid those, because, if you imagine those phrases over the Wiki and a new game comes out with, say Slobba in, we have to find those and change all of them, and nobody knows where they are by then. It's better to phrase it as "As of ," and then the statement. About their other similarities, there's also Fangora (who isn't static), but what about Snip-Snap? It's static, it gives a warning, it stretches to attack, and only appears in one game as of April 2011 as well. It's usually better to consider different characters on a case-to-case basis unless they are extremely similar, like Kirby and Meta Knight, for example, or to quote the example you gave, the similar looks between Mr. Frosty and Roly-Poly.


 * Italicize game titles, and anime episodes. That's the standard of this Wiki, but since most people new to the wiki doesn't know it, that's OK. One picks up the style over time.


 * One last thing. Use internal links for internal pages instead of long single-bracket format used for external links, as it makes the article very difficult to read in source / coding mode.

That should clarify my position. Don't worry if your edits get overwritten, especially not if it's admin or patrollers, and don't take it personally, because that's not how editors do things around here - We're all here for the betterment of the Wiki

If there's anything else you need clarification on, just talk to admins User:Starman125 or User:GameFreak75, or if it's related to this post just post on my talk page.

Cheerio, and enjoy your stay here.
