[edit] Wii Remote

This article has many refrences and I am planning on putting it up on FAC so I'd like a peer review before i take it there. It is indepth, but I would like a review from a non-biased editor. The Placebo Effect 20:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Krator

This is an uncommon kind of subject in WP:VG, but I'll try my best.

  • This article could use an infobox of some kind. Maybe make one, even. Include the image currently at the top in it, and list information like dimensions, manufacturer, hardware (what kind of sensor?), etc. Done
  • Move the 'pricelist' from the lead section to the infobox (above), and state both the local currency price and the prices in a reserve currency.
  • The images in the article are horrible. Make them have a size at least somewhat viewable (the sensor bar image is particularly guilty here) and better quality. Wiimote nunchuk.jpg is grainy, zapper and the classic controller are too small on the article, while the images themselves are quite large.
  • Split 'design' in two: 'How does it look' and 'How does it work', with different titles. Colour and the current lead paragraph of the section go into the first, power source, sensing, memory, and feedback go into the second. Need to figure out where 'strap' belongs.
  • A schematic drawing (svg!) of how the sensing works would be great in that section.
  • Memory is a stub section. Either expand or merge.
  • Improve the lead paragraph of the expansions section. (How does one expand it, what does one need an expansion for, etc.)
  • A small infobox for all three expansions would be great. Just put the images in there, the prices, the manufacturer, the dimensions, and more. The pricelist in the content text doesn't look nice, and infoboxes make great overviews. Note that these are sections, not articles, so keep the box small.
  • Wii zapper needs expansion.
  • Tennis rackets, baseball bats and golf clubs? Tell me more. Make a section for each of them complete with small infobox, if there's enough information/content to warrant that.
  • Steering wheel needs expansion.
  • More see also - articles about infrared sensors, the wii, list of wii games, and maybe more. Keep see also to about 5 articles. Not much more, not less.
  • There's a 'articles which may contain original research' category on the page. Why? You can remove it, IMHO. Done

PS: I would appreciate it the appropriate parts of this review could be marked with a {{done}} template, if any edits are made based on it, or made because of it.

  • Product images and an Overstock.com listing indicate that game accessory manufacturer Intec is releasing a third-party Nunchuk controller for the Wii Remote. This is the first third-party expansion to be discovered for the Wii Remote. Surely that should read ...first third-party expansion to be released for the Wii Remote.
