The Wikipedia article on Sega Pico is sloppy as all shit.

The problem with Wikipedia is that they're full of themselves, they'll throw you a whole bunch of [citation needed] to each edit you'll do, and they'll find ways to deem your sources as not reliable or not encyclopedic. Or something.

In short, feel free to edit that page but don't expect much luck.

 

I'm on it.

 

I really wouldn't trust wikipedia, so many people edit it with incorrect info. The only wiki I trust is the one on here. (Because no one adds bullshit lies to articles on here, like people do on Wikipedia.)

 

Oh they do, but they don't survive for long.

*charges a shotgun*

 

The problem with Wikipedia is that it won't let you conduct original research. Every fact needs to be referenced, and in cases like the Sega Pico... there's not always that much around on the internet about it, and if there is... chances are it came from Wikipedia. However as I've found, if you change smaller articles it doesn't always get noticed. It's only when an article gets to a size where it can be re-assessed and move up in the table of quality that this stuff becomes important.


At the end of the day that site is just too big to manage. But it's also too big and awkward to vandalise so it's still a good place to get info.

 

I'm a leading physicist somewhere on wikipedia.

Just saying.

 

Gerbilsoft and I had a major problem dealing with this article a few weeks ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games...ic_the_Hedgehog

Somebody put a ton of fangames/false information in the article (look at the stuff we removed, some of it is actually pretty wonky). Now that was a hassle to fix. With Wikipedia, it's best to see who has made the past edits in the article, and if the sources are reliable and available (instead of 1000 citation needed tags).

 

Wait, Night of the Werehog is on PS3?

 

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Fixed.

 

Isn't that kinda bullshit why this rather more reliable wiki is in place, among other things?

 

While you're right that people abuse {{fact}} without citing their sources, you have to realize that a) not everyone on Wikipedia is a vandal and b) not every sysop and bureaucrat has a stick up their ass. Consider discussing all the information you have on the talk page and see what happens.

 

Are we talking about the same Wikipedia which deleted the Sonic Edusoft page because Sonic Retro isn't a reliable source?

 

Yes, but we're a wiki too. :v: But Kiddo there had more reliable sources to make his point.

 

I had no idea an officially licensed Nintendo game had ever existed officially on an Sega platform, much less a Pokemon game. Is it emulated?

EDIT: BTW, I'm going by the the username "Dragon DASH" at Wikipedia, just so you know who's editing the page.
