[edit] List of Sega 32X games

I've done quite a bit of work with this list and I believe it makes the FL criteria. For this cleanup, I used List of Virtual Boy games and List of Nintendo 64 games, the only two featured lists of console games, as examples for setting this list up. Also, this is my first FLC—actually, featured anything—so I appreciate all the constructive criticism while this article is being reviewed. Thanks to all of the reviewers in advance for your time.

• Wait until this relevant guideline discussion is resolved: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games#Australian release dates. Kariteh (talk) 16:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

• It looks like we've been hit by a policy discussion about Australian information. Anyway, barring this part, which affects the "Regions released" column only, I would still appreciate comments and then supports or oppositions after the guideline discussion is resolved. Can we do that? Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 00:18, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

• There hasn't been any comments on this in a few days, so I think we can get past this and start collecting supports and opposes now. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 03:10, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment - I would recomend starting stub articles on the 8 games and one publisher that do not have articles. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 00:22, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• I'll look for what I can and start what I can. I can use Sega-16 as a source for basic info, and then what I can find from there will be helpful. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 01:18, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment Could more precised release dates be indicated in the table, since they're all from 1994-1996? Kariteh (talk) 07:21, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Not that I know of. I can't find anything more precise than just the years in anything reliable, and anything unreliable has just one or two games with more precise release dates. That's about it. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 14:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment I know that this list mimics other current similar FLs, but isn't the use of flags to differentiate release regions an accessibility issue? Drewcifer (talk) 21:23, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• I don't know, I can't say that I'm aware of such an issue. In various peer reviews and other comments at WP:VG that I got for this list, some said the flags were fine, and others openly told me they didn't like the flags. If you find it necessary, I'll go ahead and change the flags to region codes. Red Phoenix ^{flame of life...protector of all...} 23:09, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• I have no strong opinions about it myself, but from an accessibility standpoint, I think the important thing is that there is some text, not that there is no images. So that doesn't necessarily mean the flag images have to go, but some text should definitely be added. So I'll leave the decision of leaving the flags in there up to you. Drewcifer (talk) 23:31, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

• Okay, I've set it up with region codes. There's this edit, the last version I edited with the region codes added, and the old version with the flags. Personally, to me I think the flags work best, but I'm willing to work with whatever will get this list past FLC. Drewcifer, is this what you're looking for?

• I think NA should be used instead of US in the table, unless the game was never released in Canada. Also, the consensus that resulted from the discussion at WikiProject VG is that the names of the regions should all be mentioned in the lead in some way or another, so that the abbreviations can be mentioned next to them in parentheses for clarity. See List of PlayStation Portable games for an example of the implementation. (Note that if you had used flags, you'd have to spell the names of the countries next to the flags at least once due to flag guidelines, so IMO it wouldn't have been much more pratical.) Also I think the European alternate titles should be mentioned in the table (in the same rows as the American titles) to avoid bias; the list isn't particularly long, so there's no reason to give only American titles. Kariteh (talk) 09:00, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

• Let me just drop that statement, since I kind of put that in as a technicality more or less, other than Sangokushi IV, which I already mentioned as being Romance of the Three Kingdoms IV. If I can find reliable sources to verify any alternative titles (if there even are any), I'll add it in, but I don't know if there are any. I'll get to fixing all of this.

Here's a checklist of what I've had to do so far, just for reference.

• Y Done Fixed flags to region codes, fixed US to NA, added reference in lead.
• Y Done Dropped title statement, as far as I know there's one set of titles.
• Y Done Table section added
• Y Done Years unlinked
