Regardless of the self-esteem with which you hold yourself to, all users of Wikipedia are equal. I take it that you're also the anon IP that keeps reintroducing the errors into the page. So I will request that YOU stop, given that YOU are inserting things into the article that have no sourcing- examples being Super Mario Bros. being the first smooth scrolling platformer and the "reintroduction" of analog sticks by Nintendo (which were already dicussed before you decided to create edits to the page.

Role-playing game (video games)
A long time ago, you flagged the Role-playing game (video games) article as in need of help. Or, more specifically, you said that the Computer role-playing game and Console role-playing game genres probably needed a merge. There's some resistance to a merge, on the basis that computer and console RPGs are distinct. The magnitude of this distinction is disputed, but it's been this way for so long. With no consensus, the articles are left alone.
I've began to import information from the two CRPG articles into the main Role-playing game (video games) article. I hope to keep improving this article. In the slightly longer term, I'd like to start cleaning up the two CRPG articles for information that is redundant with the main article on RPG video games. I don't know that this will end up building the case for a merge. But if there are more similarities between the two types of CRPGs than there are differences, then the two CRPG articles will shrink drastically and the main RPG video games article will grow.
I'd appreciate your help. Right now, a few of us are working on the Role-playing game (video games) article. Please check in and do some copy-editing, if you find a moment. Randomran (talk) 17:34, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
- How do you think the articles can be merged? I'm trying to build the case for a merge now. The main Role-playing game (video games) article has already expanded to take on all information that's relevant to electronic role-playing games in general. The next step, IMO, is shortening the CRPG articles based on what's redundant with the main article. I believe we can shorten the CRPG articles bit by bit, slowly, over the course of a few weeks or months. In a few months they may be short enough to be merged together into Cultural differences in role-playing video games. What do you think, or do you have a better idea? Randomran (talk) 16:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- PS... if you'd like to help, you could do one of the two following easy things. (1) give Role-playing game (video games) a quick copy-edit, just to help establish a consensus that this isn't a disambiguation page. (2) Delete the lists of developers in the computer role-playing game or console role-playing game articles (or both). I'll back you up if you do. I think these are both trivial detail, and shouldn't be included by wikipedia standards. That will help shorten the articles and build the case for an eventual merge.
