[ is correct

Please do not remove the [ symbol from the catalog for room 64. It is correct. --Chris Key 15:00, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

I'm not sure I want to know the answer... :-)

What is the antecedent of "it" in "When this happens Willy automatically runs at double speed towards The Bathroom, sticks his head in it and waggles his legs in the air." --Howard C. Berkowitz 18:36, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Good catch. I have changed the word "it" to the word "toilet". --Chris Key 19:09, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Toward Approval

I think it is very close.

Two fairly minor points:

  • The color code keying is fascinating but tantalizing -- I can guess at several ways the color code might be used, but I'd be interested in knowing how it actually was used.
  • Some layout work would help at the beginning; I find it a bit jarring to my eyes. Some suggestions, which might be done singly or in combination to get more whitespace between the graphics:
    • Move the TOC to the very top
    • Move the "Maria blocks" down a bit further
    • Reduce the size of the infobox or the graphic in it
