Talk:Proton pack

message: * This article is in need of a good cleanup/rewrite. Right now, it reads too much like a fan article, not necessarly encylopedic.  Information on the fictional tech specs might be a bit much, or just trimmed down. The quote from GB2 is also a bit much. We don't want the Wiki to be a big fan page, but the subject of the article itself is worthy of addition. Reverend Raven 03:01, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup

message: I removed the links to words like "metal", "plastic", "time", "weight" and "black".  Apparently, someone felt it necessary to link to articles that included colors and common materials.  I find it highly irritating, and removed the superfluous ones.  Jparenti (talk) 07:48, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Light housecleaning

message: ===Background and design===
There has been concern that this topic is not discussed in any detail in real world sources. In addresing this issue, we need first consider that fan-sites of the series discuss the device in great detail at http://www.studiocreations.com/howto/gb_protonpack/index.html Studio Creations] and Instructabes and GB Fans where Ghostbuster fans are instructed on how to design his own proton pack prop. Though unsuitable for notability, through the topic having a fan-base, we might consider these for descriptives.
===Sources===
Toward sources discussing the prop, we can also consider it being described in detail in various and sundry books and magazines, such as Game Axis, Geektionary, Spin, and others found in searches, and it being being sold as a "toy" as shared in Toys and Prices, Xbox Magazine, and the prop being referenced in books on other subjects, such as Flights of Fancy, Leaps of Faith: Children's Myths in Contemporary America, Blood Lite II: Overbite, Lucid Dreams in 30 Days: The Creative Sleep Program, Dead Waters, The complete book of scriptwriting, Going Corporate: Moving Up Without Screwing Up, Anna Dressed in Blood, and Level Up!: The Guide to Great Video Game Design, but to name a few... showing this item and term has become PART of our culture.

replies: text: What don't you understand in "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", "sources address the subject directly in detail, so no original research is needed to extract the content. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" ?? Since when a single mention/sentence, or a mere descriptive 3-lines entry, in a single page became "significant coverage" ?Folken de Fanel (talk) 19:32, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
