CC's to do

  • Turn List of staff into a table, with descriptions detailing context in development (not what they revealed afterward, write that into History). Ensure everyone listed in the credits gets an entry, then delete the redundant Credits section.
  • Rewrite and resection History in chronological order.
  • Add an inline image and more developer quotes.
  • Ensure External links lists every article, interview, etc.
  • Dedicated paragraph addressing actual remains in the final game

Tables

These tables are getting a bit... chunky. You realise I made a set under "List of music tracks" right? Mine's sortable!

It's better to use the references templates than type out loads of prose about why things come from where. For example, Sonic 3 ending credits need be nothing more than:

ID Usage Musicans Comments
26 Credits Michael Jackson[1] Similar to Jackson's 1996 single, "Stranger in Moscow"[2].

That's a plan. I'd like to contribute in editing the sources for the tables, but until those messages I get of "this-message-is-spam" and "data-submitted-too-often" disappear, I'm stuck relying on others to do the contribution. It's going to require some administrator to whitelist my user name or change the filtering of the MediaWiki setup for Sonic Retro.
