    Default Wiki Mission #2: Organize According to Manufacturer

    Over at the DP Technical Knowledge Base we are trying to re-organize the consoles according to the manufacturer of them. So far we've gotten started on the Atari, Commodore, Microsoft, Nintendo, SEGA, SNK, and SONY console sections, but there is much left to do. Would you help us organize the rest and make sure we got everything correct? Thanks two bits!

    Did you know: right now, the DP Technical Knowledge Base is ranked #1, and #2, and #3 on Google when searching for Video Game Technical Knowledge Base?

    What is the preferred naming convention for the systems? Should they all be by their NA names or should it be know by whatever name is best know to the English speaking world? (such as Sinclair ZX80 vs the Timex Sinclair...)

    Hmm, not the easiest call - but I think as DP is NA-centric, so should the Wiki be. Thus the main listings should use the American names, and the other international names of the machines should be included on the individual consoles' Wiki pages. That way everything is clear.

    You'd probably be better off getting the master for this and chopping it up.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_Sinclair

    According to wikipedia, a Timex Sinclair is more of a variation than an actual direct release.

    Other than that, I can't think of any other system/computer in this same conundrum.
