RfC about the mention of the unofficial relaunch in the article[edit]
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
In the section "Unofficial relaunch", should we include the mention of the unofficial revival in the article? The paragraph in question is here:
On June 28, 2016, exactly 3 years after the shutdown, an unofficial replacement service under the name of "RiiConnect24", was released and allowed users to access and use the Wii's News Channel once more.[12] The service can be used by a soft-modded Wii. RiiConnect24 is still being worked on and now currently supports the News Channel, Weather Channel, Everybody Votes Channel and communication with the Wii's built in Mail. The developers of the service are currently working on reviving the Nintendo Channel. [13]Abequinn14 (talk) 01:15, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Hi @Abequinn14:, I removed the section altogether. We need reliable, third-party coverage. In the WP:VG/RS custom Google search engine I didn't get a single result for "riiconnect". soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:09, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- FYI @Soetermans: the mention also exists on the French wikipedia (see https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiiConnect24). I'm not sure about other mentions. Abequinn14 (talk) 11:15, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- I'm mostly concerned with the English language Wikipedia. Different Wikipedias have different rules on sourcing, so I'm not sure what the French language policy is. soetermans. ↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK 11:23, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
- I believe a list of reliable sources is at the French WP:CITE. However, I'm not going to rely on google translate on what sources to use. If someone else can check the reliable sources on the French wikipedia and see if the paragraph needs to be removed, go ahead. Otherwise, this RfC is probably going to be closed.

Use of Misphrase in the article.[edit]
Hello! While reading this article, I noticed the use of the phrase "eshop credits" rather than "Wii Points."
Please fix this error!
