Hi there everyone, I've created this topic space to discuss the infobox company format for Sega subsidiaries like Sonic Team, Sega AM2, Atlus etc. Lately, I've been getting edit conflicts with the design of these infoboxes with regards to formatting. Now, I like to use a symmetrical infobox for all the subsidiaries of a company in order to be more analytically concise and make the transitions from one subsidiary to another as symmetrical as possible. In laymans terms, what should be the default infobox format for Sega subsidiaries for that further edit conflict don't occur? Iftekharahmed96 ( talk) 12:09, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Can someone add on the infobox the exact date for the founding of Sega which is June 3rd, 1960. Thank you.

I came across the article Sega Seal of Quality and noted that it's small enough and little notable in its own right to warrant a separate article. The Nintendo equiv. has it's seal info in the parent article. I condensed Sega's seal article somewhat, but I suggest merging into a section on Sega. It the section then grows substantially or notability in its own right can be ascertained, then the process can be reviewed. Bungle ( talk • contribs) 20:07, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi all,
Just as a heads-up, I'm going to start tearing into this article today and rebuilding it. For the most part I'm wanting to use the same structure with a bit of tweaking and a lot of new sources and material. That being said, I think everyone agrees there's a lot of work that can be done here. If anyone would like to put in some input, though, I certainly won't complain about having some extra help or some input into making this article the best it can be. I'm going to aim for FA status, as I think it's certainly doable. Feel free to chat with me about it if you have any input, disagree with a change I've made, or otherwise have something to contribute. Thank you, Red Phoenix talk 12:52, 27 August 2018 (UTC)

@ Indrian: No rush here, but I wanted to notify you that History of Sega is now also at GAN after I've worked on expanding and polishing up that article. Because of how closely related that article is to this one as a spinout article, I thought this might interest you and see if you would consider reviewing both together to help get the correct amount of content with total accuracy into both articles. I am okay with the review taking all the time you need; my goal is to make these two the highest quality and most accurate articles I have written on Wikipedia.

Its a big article, and I am still grappling with what material is essential and how the material should be organized. There are very few GAs on corporations, so they do not provide a lot of guidance in this area.

@ Indrian: It's been a while, any word yet? While I have been very patient, I do also have some time goals I want to hit with this article; namely, I'd like it to be through an FA review in time to be on the Main Page for June 3, 2020 (which will be Sega's 60th anniversary). That's a long process too, and I'm not holding my breath given simply the amount of material here that it will necessarily pass a first review there. I don't mean to be pushy, but if I don't have the review completed before too long, I will likely need to seek outside assistance to finish reviewing this article for GA status so that I can ensure it will make it to that goal. I'm also planning on a DYK submission after this article does get to GA status to give it a smaller main page mention. If I don't hear back from you by April 15, I will seek a second opinion.

The logo caption on the infobox says that the current logo has been used since 1982. That is an incorrect year. The current logo is much older than 1982 and the user who inserted this incorrect year never provided an edit summary (as pretty much all of his/her contributions). [1].
Based on the following source below, 1975 is indeed when the correct logo was adopted.
As we can see in the database, both the old and the current logos were used in 1975 implying this is the year the logo changed. I suggest that either "1975" is restored in the place of "1982" on the logo caption or that the logo caption is removed altogether from the infobox since it doesn't really add anything to the article. 74.15.124.52 ( talk) 02:31, 3 November 2018 (UTC)
In doing more research to make sure this article is fully compliant, I want to make a note of something I turned up. Using Earwig's Copyvio Dectector, there are two pages on the internet that say this article may be a copyright violation of them. What I want to point out is that this is the opposite of the case, and that both pages are actually copied from Wikipedia without proper attribution. The two pages in question are a blog, https://hiscoga.wordpress.com/sega-dreamcast-1998-2001/ and another wiki, http://althistory.wikia.com/wiki/NintenSony . Most of the material from these pages come from the Sega Saturn and Dreamcast articles, which had text imported to this article as part of the cleanup process, a completely acceptable method between similar Wikipedia articles as long as credit is given, which was completed in the edit summary for each copy. Those articles were completed with their versions of the text in 2013 or 2014, while both of these two websites date to 2016. Therefore, they are actually copies of Wikipedia articles, not the other way around.
I wanted simply to make this statement and establish this for future reviewers. Red Phoenix talk 12:18, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
"Sega's headquarters complex in Kampachi-dori, Haneda, Japan"
Does anyone know what this building actually is used for? I haven't seen anything referring to a building in Haneda. To my understanding, Sega used to be headquartered in Ota, but as recently as last year moved to Shinagawa-ku, along with Sega Holdings Co., Ltd. What building is this one in Haneda? Red Phoenix talk 13:56, 19 December 2018 (UTC)
@ TheTimesAreAChanging: I'm having serious trouble establishing what your preferred wording is trying to say. It outsold the SNES in the US during the early 90s... as opposed to what? The late 90s? Other markets? Other consoles? Why does this sentence break if we remove "the early 90s"? This is the ambiguity I'm trying to fix, so instead of making me guess at the intended meaning, can you explain it here explicitly? Popcornduff ( talk) 22:37, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Incidentally, the reason this jumps out at me as a problem in the first place is that it's a case of elegant variation. The writer clearly wants to avoid writing "first/second half of the 90s" twice and the repetition is obvious. As I argue in my essay WP:ELEVAR, the real problem of repetition usually emerges from repeated information rather than repeated words. And in this case I can't even straighten out what information is being repeated here. Popcornduff ( talk) 22:40, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
It's not a good idea to edit something unless you fully understand what it is trying to say ... Don't tear down a wall unless you know why it was built in the first place.The point is that these can be easily misunderstood, hence my own confusion. I thought I understood the point being made and it turned out I didn't because the wording is ambiguous. I think, however, that

@ Hahc21: I'm placing this review on hold for now. Since you are a mentor for GAs in regards to video games, can you please look into the issues I have regarding the OR and copyvio concerns? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 02:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Some of
Popcornduff's recent copyedits had merit, while others were a bit too aggressive in my opinion, although I will let
Red Phoenix weigh in rather than reverting anything myself. With that said, I want to call attention to an error that Popcornduff accidentally introduced into the article
here: Changing "Adam Redsell of
IGN noted that Sega developed several concepts that have become mainstream in more modern video game consoles, such as motion controls, online functionality, and memory expansion"
to "The Dreamcast is remembered for being ahead of its time, with several concepts that became standard in consoles, such as motion controls, online functionality, and memory expansion"
implies that the Dreamcast was a pioneer in memory expansion, which is incorrect and contrary to the
source. Rather, Redsell notes that the
Sega CD and later
Sega Saturn included internal backup memory at a time when other console manufacturers were charging customers for memory cards, but that Sega itself resorted to memory cards (the distinctive
VMUs) for the Dreamcast.

This section reads, "The 32X would not be compatible with the Saturn, but would play Genesis games." but Saturn is not yet explained in the article at all so it was very confusing to read it. It should probably be mentioned that the Saturn was being developed and then they decided to work on the 32X? I don't know the actual timeline. Also, congrats on the GA! -- Odie5533 ( talk) 21:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Am I dreaming, or was there once an image of Sonic in the article? Did it get removed for copyright reasons or something?
If I am dreaming, wouldn't it be a good idea to add an image? Sonic is important to the topic. Popcornduff ( talk) 17:05, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
(And many congrats, again, to all involved - much deserved...)
... Small idea. Should the sections about the consoles contain perhaps a sentence or two about what the consoles are remembered for, entertainment-wise? For example, Dreamcast innovated with online play and games like PSO, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, etc - should that be mentioned? The console sections focus on Sega's business decisions, which makes sense because this is an article about a business, but Sega is in the business of making entertainment products, so perhaps a tiny amount more detail about its creative output might be good too. Sonic 1 is covered in the Genesis section, and the Saturn's library gets a mention in the Legacy section but that's kind of it. Popcornfud ( talk) 11:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Namcokid47: Still think that the Puyo Puyo purchase from Compile at Sega should be in the article. In a way Technosoft is similarly trivial I believe. OtopNr.3 ( talk) 16:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Yahoo! Japan reported today that Sega is selling its Sega Entertainment division to Genda, and will be exiting the arcade management business later this year. I wouldn't include it right away, since it could change, but I'll leave it here incase this goes through. Real sad news to wake up to today. Namcokid 47 (Contribs) 18:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I am writing to request a grammatical change from pictured to picture. The word is found in the sentence: "Sega Sammy Holdings (current logo pictured)". Chgka1 ( talk) 17:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Sega never outsold the SNES in the US. In fact the SNES outsold the Genesis so the intro is all wrong
That isn’t true. The SNES had the lead over the Genesis in 1993 and 1994 so no what he’s saying IS entirely correct. Sega didn’t have a lead in 1993. Nintendo outsold Sega in the US.

The current logo was established in 1975, not in 1976.
Source: https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/videogames/show/2552
The logo caption should either be corrected to 1975 or blanked altogether since it doesn't really add any encyclopedic value to the article.
In November 2018, a similar edit request was successfully approved to change the incorrect year of 1982 to 1975. Over the time, the logo caption was (rightfully) removed from the infobox. But on November 28, 2021, a user restored the caption with the incorrect year of 1976 and with no edit summary to justify this. 76.64.176.155 ( talk) 19:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Those articles were completed with their versions of the text in 2013 or 2014, while both of these two websites date to 2016. Therefore, they are actually copies of Wikipedia articles, not the other way around.
I wanted simply to make this statement and establish this for future reviewers. Red Phoenix talk 12:18, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
"Sega's headquarters complex in Kampachi-dori, Haneda, Japan"
Does anyone know what this building actually is used for? I haven't seen anything referring to a building in Haneda. To my understanding, Sega used to be headquartered in Ota, but as recently as last year moved to Shinagawa-ku, along with Sega Holdings Co., Ltd. What building is this one in Haneda?

@ TheTimesAreAChanging: I'm having serious trouble establishing what your preferred wording is trying to say. It outsold the SNES in the US during the early 90s... as opposed to what? The late 90s? Other markets? Other consoles? Why does this sentence break if we remove "the early 90s"? This is the ambiguity I'm trying to fix, so instead of making me guess at the intended meaning, can you explain it here explicitly? Popcornduff ( talk) 22:37, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
Incidentally, the reason this jumps out at me as a problem in the first place is that it's a case of elegant variation. The writer clearly wants to avoid writing "first/second half of the 90s" twice and the repetition is obvious. As I argue in my essay WP:ELEVAR, the real problem of repetition usually emerges from repeated information rather than repeated words. And in this case I can't even straighten out what information is being repeated here. Popcornduff ( talk) 22:40, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
It's not a good idea to edit something unless you fully understand what it is trying to say ... Don't tear down a wall unless you know why it was built in the first place.The point is that these can be easily misunderstood, hence my own confusion. I thought I understood the point being made and it turned out I didn't because the wording is ambiguous. I think, however, that

@ Hahc21: I'm placing this review on hold for now. Since you are a mentor for GAs in regards to video games, can you please look into the issues I have regarding the OR and copyvio concerns? Thanks, Lord Sjones23 ( talk - contributions) 02:38, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
Some of
Popcornduff's recent copyedits had merit, while others were a bit too aggressive in my opinion, although I will let
Red Phoenix weigh in rather than reverting anything myself. With that said, I want to call attention to an error that Popcornduff accidentally introduced into the article
here: Changing "Adam Redsell of
IGN noted that Sega developed several concepts that have become mainstream in more modern video game consoles, such as motion controls, online functionality, and memory expansion"
to "The Dreamcast is remembered for being ahead of its time, with several concepts that became standard in consoles, such as motion controls, online functionality, and memory expansion"
implies that the Dreamcast was a pioneer in memory expansion, which is incorrect and contrary to the
source. Rather, Redsell notes that the
Sega CD and later
Sega Saturn included internal backup memory at a time when other console manufacturers were charging customers for memory cards, but that Sega itself resorted to memory cards (the distinctive
VMUs) for the Dreamcast.

This section reads, "The 32X would not be compatible with the Saturn, but would play Genesis games." but Saturn is not yet explained in the article at all so it was very confusing to read it. It should probably be mentioned that the Saturn was being developed and then they decided to work on the 32X? I don't know the actual timeline. Also, congrats on the GA! -- Odie5533 ( talk) 21:41, 20 June 2019 (UTC)
Am I dreaming, or was there once an image of Sonic in the article? Did it get removed for copyright reasons or something?
If I am dreaming, wouldn't it be a good idea to add an image? Sonic is important to the topic. Popcornduff ( talk) 17:05, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
(And many congrats, again, to all involved - much deserved...)
... Small idea. Should the sections about the consoles contain perhaps a sentence or two about what the consoles are remembered for, entertainment-wise? For example, Dreamcast innovated with online play and games like PSO, Shenmue, Jet Set Radio, etc - should that be mentioned? The console sections focus on Sega's business decisions, which makes sense because this is an article about a business, but Sega is in the business of making entertainment products, so perhaps a tiny amount more detail about its creative output might be good too. Sonic 1 is covered in the Genesis section, and the Saturn's library gets a mention in the Legacy section but that's kind of it. Popcornfud ( talk) 11:44, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
@ Namcokid47: Still think that the Puyo Puyo purchase from Compile at Sega should be in the article. In a way Technosoft is similarly trivial I believe. OtopNr.3 ( talk) 16:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Yahoo! Japan reported today that Sega is selling its Sega Entertainment division to Genda, and will be exiting the arcade management business later this year. I wouldn't include it right away, since it could change, but I'll leave it here incase this goes through. Real sad news to wake up to today. Namcokid 47 (Contribs) 18:14, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

Hello. I am writing to request a grammatical change from pictured to picture. The word is found in the sentence: "Sega Sammy Holdings (current logo pictured)". Chgka1 ( talk) 17:09, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
Sega never outsold the SNES in the US. In fact the SNES outsold the Genesis so the intro is all wrong
That isn’t true. The SNES had the lead over the Genesis in 1993 and 1994 so no what he’s saying IS entirely correct. Sega didn’t have a lead in 1993. Nintendo outsold Sega in the US. This is factual if you would actually know anything about history. — Preceding unsigned comment added by NintendoMeister ( talk • contribs) 08:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

The current logo was established in 1975, not in 1976.
Source: https://flyers.arcade-museum.com/videogames/show/2552
The logo caption should either be corrected to 1975 or blanked altogether since it doesn't really add any encyclopedic value to the article.
In November 2018, a similar edit request was successfully approved to change the incorrect year of 1982 to 1975. Over the time, the logo caption was (rightfully) removed from the infobox. But on November 28, 2021, a user restored the caption with the incorrect year of 1976 and with no edit summary to justify this. 76.64.176.155 ( talk) 19:02, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
Based on Shuji Utsumi's promotion. But I don't really get what's changed here or if the previously listed people are in new roles, so I'm hoping someone else can figure it out instead. Popcornfud ( talk) 14:46, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
