[edit] Systemic bias

I'm adding {{globalize}} for two reasons.

Firstly, the introductory section talks about its release in Japan and North America, but not Europe or anywhere else.

Secondly, the "Gameplay" section describes edition-specific features. It doesn't even clarify which edition it's describing (either the platform or the geographical location). The Game Boy edition released in the UK, which I used to have, has a number of differences - see Talk:Paint by numbers#Mario's Picross.

Was the game released on any platform other than Game Boy anywhere other than Japan? -- Smjg 18:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Some information at http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/games/mpicross I will see if I can find more and update the article, I am currently improving another. -- ReyBrujo 18:51, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I see. BTW why have you nowikied that URL? -- Smjg 20:28, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Because inlining links help those sites to increase their Google Rank, as Wikipedia is a pretty high ranked site by itself. For some sites, like IGN, CNN, GameSpot, etc, it wouldn't really mind, since they are already well ranked. But for fan sites, it is just the same to add the link to the External links sections of the article or to the talk page "discussing" it. -- ReyBrujo 20:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

You mean you're afraid the odd link, by pushing sites up the rankings, will push Wikipedia down? -- Smjg 20:26, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Not really. I just don't want to give them a boost if we are not going to use them. -- ReyBrujo 03:41, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
