Problems

The history of the Jack Nicklaus 4 is all wrong regarding Cinematronics and I don't know what to do about it. The Cinematronics listed is another company orginally formed in San Francisco in the early years of the industry. The Cinemantronics that did Jack 4 and 5, Full Tilt! Pinball, and Marble Drop, was founded later in Santa Cruz, California by David Stafford, Mike Sandige, and Kevin Gliner, and was the one that Maxis purchased. Additionally, Jack 4 (Mac) and Jack 5 were both developed by Eclipse Entertainment (Austin, Texas). I was the producer (developer) for all of these products.

Okay, I'm working on fixing the information. — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:48, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, finished. Take a look at it now and fix any problems you see. I disambiguated [[Cinematronics]] and [[Cinematronics (Santa Cruz)]]. It's awkward, I know, but it was the best way I could figure to distinguish the two. I left the San Francicso-based company's name alone, since it will be referred to much more than the small Santa Cruz developer. I also fixed the link in the Full Tilt! Pinball article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 16:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last change

I reverted the last change by Bradfregger. I was a little confused why he inserted his signature after his edits. That is normally only done on talk pages (like this one). The user who made the edits can be seen on the article's hisory page. I assume it was just an honest mistake. Also he added a lot of information about Jack Nicklaus 5 which is out of scope for this article. Any information on Jack 5 should go in the Jack 5 article, that includes comparing it with Jack 4. I know we don't have a Jack 5 article yet. That's fine, we can create one. — Frecklefoot | Talk 01:55, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
