Talk:List of ZX Spectrum clones

message: Someone has nominated-for-deletion the article on the builder of one of the most advanced Spectrum clones, Peters Plus, Ltd. I suggest we either enhance that article, or merge the info into here. Liam Proven (talk) 13:02, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: I took the SAM Coupé out - it isn't a Spectrum clone, it was simply made partially Spectrum compatible in an effort to show it as a natural upgrade (one, incidentally, that failed) Jamyskis 13:35, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with this. The machine is a specific 3rd party descendant of the Spectrum +and nothing else *but* the Spectrum_. Its programming language is a superset of Spectrum BASIC, or more specifically Beta BASIC. Its graphics modes are derivatives of the TS 2068's modes. Its DOS is compatible with one of the Spectrum's many DOSes. Yes it's enhanced but so are many of the machines in this list. Liam Proven (talk) 12:58, 22 October 2018 (UTC)

message: This article was proposed for deletion on 2006-12-21 with the concerns that "Wikipedia is not a repository of links, Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information". While I fully agree with those concerns (this isn't a good article at the moment), I feel that cleanup would be a better way of proceeding here: a simple and fairly informative article could be made by stripping the list down to just those machines for which articles exists, and adding a one or two sentence description of each. However... I don't have time to do this at the moment, and will be away from my Internet connection for the next week or so, so if anybody else wants to have a go at this article, please do so. If not, I'll try something in the New Year. Cheers --Pak21 22:13, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Relocated text from merged articles talk pages 

message: I've merged in the contents of most of the previously linked articles and converted those articles to redirects to here. Some remain as separate articles where there is sufficient contents to justify the separate article.
Many of the merged in sections still require work on their wording to clean up some opinions and speculation. Improving the consistency of the information given about each example would also improve things. --BrucePodger (talk) 14:10, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merged with individual articles, cleanup still required 

message: Looking at the Romanian unoffical clone, it reads like a review, one of the examples is "The keyboard looks nice" which is an opinionated and unencyclopedic statement.
I would like to request an edit to the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Russianarmy13 (talk • contribs) 14:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The list needs references for machines that don't have their own article, otherwise we can't even verify if they exist!
A reference per machine really crucial, and not that hard to add. I'll do what I can, but the article is long, so some help would be good. 4throck (talk) 14:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
