Upon its review on March 2, 2008, this good article nomination was quick-failed because it:
contains cleanup banners including, but not limited to, {{ cleanup}}, {{ wikify}}, {{ NPOV}}, {{ unreferenced}}, etc, or large numbers of {{ fact}}, {{ clarifyme}}, {{ huh}}, or similar tags
thus making it ineligible for good article consideration.
This article did not receive a thorough review, and may not meet other parts of the good article criteria. I encourage you to remedy this problem (and any others) and resubmit it for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to have it reassessed. Thank you for your work so far.— Epass ( talk) 18:13, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
I am the one who put up the GA nomination, and I'd like to let everyone know that I am challenging all of that unsourced information labeled by {{fact}} tags and will remove it. If you can find the citations or wish to debate some of it, then say so here, and please don't go aimlessly reverting the article because you think I'm vandalizing it.

I'd like to renominate it for GA status in the next couple of days. Redphoenix526 ( Talk) 19:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I've changed some occurrences of Genesis to Mega Drive in the article purely because I know FA will pick up on the fact that Mega Drives and Genesis were used as interchangeable words for the same item. I've left Genesis intact in the North American section and in places where it was the NA version of the console that was specifically being talked about. This isn't some kind of dastardly plot to deprive North America of it's Genesis and to say it never existed, I'm just trying to make the FA process as smooth as possible. - X201 ( talk) 20:05, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
This article has been nominated for good article reassessment to determine whether or not it meets the good article criteria and so can be listed as a good article. Please add comments to the article reassessment page.
I did ask a while back for someone with more knowledge of the technical side of things to read over the prose I wrote up to check that if it mzde sense or not. Took me freakin' ages to write all that up and trying to actually understand it all while I was doing it. It's a shame really cause it's only the memory and I/O section that needs be to finished really. I left the tables there before just in case someone wanted to add anything from them before we got rid of them. Crimsonfox ( talk) 06:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

That's not true. The Sega SG-1000 was not sold in North America, but it was in Oceania and some European countries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.22.108.46 ( talk) 09:43, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
I had a similar question about the thing about the "fifth console" thing. I've looked at the article for Sega and there's nothing mentioned about any systems other than the Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast. Can someone talk about how like, I don't know, what systems predated it? Like not just the Master System? And if it IS the fifth console, how come the preceding four other than the Master System aren't mentioned in the main article? Can someone fix this PLEASE?! BTW, I'm glad someone finally put down a source for the last game made for the Genesis because it's been driving me insane trying to prove to my boyfriend that there was a game made for the Genesis in Brazil and we both really wanted to know what it was, but everywhere I looked, it all just kept referring verbatim to Wikipedia.

I'm afraid some of the sections might not be well sourced enough, especially in the technical specifications area. We might get nailed for original research on that, even if it's really not. Red Phoenix ( Talk) 14:42, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
I have reviewed your article and after checking all of your references, many of them appear to be unreliable. However, after checking some of the other console articles (namely the Super Nintendo Entertainment System), I have discovered some of their references appear questionable as well. Of the references I found that stuck out to me, these include 2, 3, 4, 11, 13, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 28, 32, 33, 41, 46, 47, 48, 49, 52, 54, 55, 56.
Done Among these are sites from angelfire, gamefaq guides,
and other unverifiable/unreliable sites.
Done Also, I found refs 12 and 24 to be broken.
Because I am unsure of the reliability of these references, I am requesting a 2nd opinion from others regarding the reliability of the above references in question. In the meantime, I recommend searching for more reliable sources. Here are some other issues to consider in the meantime:
Thank you for your patience. -- Noj r ( talk) 05:19, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, the checklist has been finished. While I haven't seen every reference personally, we have rid ourselves of the most unreliable sources: angelfire and GameFAQs, trashed the broken links, and cited more that was not cited previously. It might be done at this point, but I want to let X201 read over it first and tell me what he thinks before I can call it ready to be looked at again. Red Phoenix ( Talk) 19:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
It says Damo on the article page but the full name (Damien "Damo" McFerran) on their About Us page.
Other than the fact that I'd call your thinking that WP:SNOW could be applied to three days to weed out reference problems kind of harsh, I'd say fair enough. Red Phoenix ( Talk) 17:18, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
DID SOMEBODY ELSE TAKE THE NAME FOR ANOTHER PRODUCT? IF SO, WHO AND WHAT?
We've weeded out the unreliable references, we've had this article peer reviewed, are we ready for another GA nomination? This article is so close, I don't know what more we can do for it right now. Red Phoenix flame of life... protector of all... 03:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
In 23. episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion you can see Asuka playing with a gaming console that is VERY similiar to a Sega Genesis one, and the controller even has "Seca" wrote on it..Should we mention this in this article? 195.50.199.47
I think that is everything that needs fixing but if anyone sees any other things that need fixes, bring it up here. Epass ( talk) 21:39, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
By the way, I'm going to strike out what I don't think I should do, and I'm going to mark ones that I have done with Done.

I think a small presentation of the technical specifications with comparisons to its competitors (like the SNES article has) would be appropriate. Zebbe ( talk) 22:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
One more thing, there are 4 images right in a row, can some be removed or moved to another part of the article? -- Epass ( talk) 11:08, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
