Regarding Closure of LBZ Bosses

I guess I worded what I meant wrong. When I meant closure, I meant that there is a huge gap between the 1st and second sections. I wasn't referring to the writing itself. Sorry for the confusion. --RGamer2009 17:04, 11 October 2010 (CDT)

I was thinking about that. That could be solved by moving the br 'all' to after the contents. Having said that, that 1) would make for bad viewing on low resolutions/unmaximised windows and 2) Having the contents in the same section as the top summary + pic doesn't make much sense. Can we have a Wiki Sysop comment here, please? --Midnight Monkey 17:09, 11 October 2010 (CDT)

Oh PicklePower, you and your technical template chicanery. Anyway, I'm a sysop and hello, even if I'm a bit late. What we have now seems to make the best of a bad situation; it's not the prettiest of solutions, but it's the least bad one. Keep it as it is now unless someone has some 1337 wikitek idea.

Hi Frozen Nitrogen and thanks to you as well for the welcome. PicklePower was quite right to point out my error. I've now read the Wiki tutorial, which I should have done before my first edit.

As you request, I'll leave LBZ Bosses alone now (or that part of it, at least). So this brings my attention to other areas I would like to contribute to, namely:

• KiS2
• Sonic Spinball (16-bit) EU manual
• Sonic Spinball (16-bit) Game Secrets
• Sega Genesis Documentation

The latter, I feel, should be called Sega Mega Drive Documentation, given that that is its name in both Europe and Japan and according to the page on Wikipedia, the system would have been called that in North America were it not for a naming rights issue. In any case, (stupid question alert) is copying off Wikipedia acceptable? Mind, I suppose this page would already be done if it were.

Regarding SS16 EU manual, I still (would you believe) have all my Mega Drive games, with manuals, inside the the cases they shipped with. My printer died recently but when I replace it (soon), I'll probably by a 3-in-1 scanner/printer/copier. You can see what I'm driving at here. Is there anything I need to bear in mind? I'll be sure to look at the Sonic 2 (16-bit) EU manual page as a template.

As for the other two, I only know the games (very well) from a player's point of view at the moment (although I hope that will soon change). What do the Sysops think should go in KiS2 that isn't already covered in Sonic 2 (16-bit)? I've downloaded disassemblies of a few 16-bit Sonic games tonight for study purposes and see if I can shed any light on where the sprites etc. are kept on the SS16 Rom in the hope I can extract and convert them such that I can upload some kind of table of unused stuff.

Is there anything else you would like to see me do? I am at Sonic Retro's service. --Midnight Monkey 18:54, 12 October 2010 (CDT)
