Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
The result was to merge both into Nintendo 64 accessories. MuZemike 22:54, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I propose that Wide-Boy 64 and GB Hunter both be merged into Nintendo 64 accessories. This comes from a suggestion from a related merger proposal at Talk:Nintendo 64#Merger proposal in that sufficient notability cannot be established as independent articles, and both can easily be included in the accessories page. Please discuss below and indicate whether you support or oppose the merger. MuZemike 18:32, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support: Consolidating them together would benefit the smaller articles and give them more exposure since very little links to them. There are already entries for them in this article that could easily be expanded. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:30, 16 March 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Tags

All those inline tags have rendered parts of the article almost unreadable. It's like some lazy wikilawyer nitpicker went through and put a tag on every single thing that didn't have an inline citation. Most of them are quite simply frivolous, and smack of laziness and attempts at self importance. The vast majority of them are trivially verifiable: to the point that it wouldn't've taken much longer to verify them than it did to tag them. Not every single tidbit needs an inline citation to prove it's true. Many of them are common knowledge. Anyone that's actually used the system any amount knows about the Control Pack management screen. Anyone that was around at the time knows the Expansion Pack doubled the onboard RAM(trivially verifiable), and that the system used RDRAM(Also trivially verifable). Similarly with the pre-installed Jumper Pack(which indeed had that name on it, along with a sticker stating not to remove it).

Seriously. Think before you tag. At the very least TRY to verify it before you tag it. Simply putting a tag on it without checking that the information is correct doesn't help anyone, it just makes you look insecure. -Graptor 208.102.243.30 (talk) 08:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion Pak

Jet Force Gemini does not support the EP, though Rare originally considered it, but the ad was not removed from the box cover, leading to confusion. I removed JFG from the EP-support list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jet_Force_Gemini TyVulpine (talk) 12:26, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
