Merge?[edit]

Isn't this game identical of Pool of Radiance?

There are different versions of the game, each on different ports. This article exists so that the List of NES games can link to this specific version. If there were a separate section for the NES version in Pool of Radiance, however, I wouldn't be opposed to a merge. Canadian Paul 21:09, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good, I'm on it. Poulsen 19:38, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Silly me. I left this message at User:BOZ's talk page and should have pasted it here as well. Here it is now:

Hi BOZ. I created that Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance article several years back as a stub, and a merge into the regular Pool of Radiance article was discussed (briefly), but nothing ever really came out of it. I'm pretty open to it being either way: the NES port is substantially different and I suspect could probably carry an article of its own (Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (NES), had enough extra material to merit its own article and reach GA status). On the other hand, my Wikipedia tendencies are to merge when possible; one good article is preferable to one okay article and two or three perma-stubs in my opinion. So I'm certainly not opposed to a merge; I do feel, however, as I did back in 2005, that if a merge is performed, the NES port should be given its own section. We could lose the gigantic, unsourced plot section (someone else added that ages ago and I've never felt too comfortable with it) and keep the relevant information and, in particular, what differentiates it from the other ports. This might require more research, since both Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance and the current section for the NES game in Pool of Radiance are both a little vague, but it doesn't have to be gold when the merge happens, just left open with the possibility of expansion.

Tags[edit]

Since I started this article over a year and a half ago, a lot has been added to it, all unreferenced and messy. I plan on getting around to references and cleanup, but any help would be appreciated. Also, I still stand by my approval of any merge, so long as there is a separate section for the NES version. Cheers, CP 23:55, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
