sprot? Dare I ask why?

I can't imagine that there exists a community of dedicated Arcadia 2001 vandals large enough to truly interfere with Wiki matters. Of course, I can't imagine that there exists a community of dedicated Arcadia 2001 users large or active enough to really require fresh, newly-registered updates. --Action Jackson IV 09:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's just one user doing the vandalism, very persistent in continuing to vandalise though and doing it from multiple IPs, even 6 years later. Suggest sproting this page again. 101.117.85.170 (talk) 04:15, 6 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Umm...

Why is it semi-locked? just wondering... --72.87.32.148 20:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

public domain abandonware

I removed the statement that the games had been released into the public domain as abandonware. Abandonware isn't a real word and has no legal meaning. As for releasing something into public domain; there needs to be a proper citation to legally prove this to be true.

WP:OR and unreliable reference.

I have made this change and has been "undid" "per WP:OR and unreliable reference." I write under here what I wrote/find, so if more references are found and became common idea and no more a WP:OR, we can reintroduce the paragraph.

You can see that I have found another ref: http://amigan.1emu.net/digarch/2001-faq.htm#overview

What do you think?

   Some time ago everybody thought that Emerson licensed the Arcadia 2001 worldwide,
   that all 30 software compatible consoles was clones of Arcadia.
   Today 
   ref: http://amigan.1emu.net/digarch/2001-faq.htm#overview         (new ref! not present in my first writing!)
   ref: http://mess.redump.net/sysinfo:arcadia 
   ref: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=2&c=835
   we can say that the manufacturers of the chipset 2650/2637, Philips-Signetics, 
   produced the console and licenced it to others companies over the world with different names, 
   different cartrige dimensions but all of them software compatible. So we can't say that Arcadia 2001 
   is the origin of the family; it's only the most famous of it.  --Arosio Stefano (talk) 21:50, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1)It was written in a completely unencylopedic, personal tone with very broken english. 2) None of those meet Wikipedia's guidelines on WP:RELIABLE. --Marty Goldberg (talk) 01:34, 24 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
