message: ok I was reading the topic about abandoned games and saw that according to wiki, theres a rom of the gba game. does anyone know if this is true? 2 reasons. 1) if its not then we should remove that part. 2) holy crap if theres a rom of that out there i gotta find it.

replies: text: http://www.planetdreamcast.com/residentevil/residentevil/re1/beta-gba.htm details the unfinished port so it's very likely to be true.  It is highly unlikely you will find an unfinished game anywhere - this would mean one of the original development team has leaked it.  DamienG 09:01, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  GBA ROM??? 

message: Personally I think this article could use some major improvements. At the moment though, outside of a brief plot summanary and descriptions of the main series, it seems more like a list of games and officially-sanctioned RE merchandise than article. Personally, I think it should focus more on the main series, with a subsection about other media adaptations at the end. Jonny2x4 03:54, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Sources are needed for the following:

*Link to a poor review for Gun Survivor series
*Refrences for  abandoned titles

message: In my opinion, this section isn't very notable and seems to serve a very little point. I suggest that we get rid of it. Thoughts? Morgan695 23:14, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Up-to-date sales info on this series is impossible to find. I\'ve been activly looking over the past couple days, and I can't find it. I'm going to remove it from the to-do list. Morgan695 01:47, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, a 3rd Opinion was requested for the fan fiction question, on WP:3O. My 3rd opinion is that the fan fiction does NOT belong in the article. It has since been deleted. Thank you for flying delta. ⇒ SWATJester  Ready  Aim  Fire! 16:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  3rd opinion 

message: A lot of the original inspiration for RE seemed to come from Night of the living dead like for instance the Mansion(RE), The trophy heads(RE), the main character finding weapons and having a zippo lighter(RE), the burning of bodies with said lighter(Remake), the zombies reaching through the boarded up windows(RE2), the main character talking about coming from a diner(RE2) surrounded by zombies then seeing a fuel truck(RE2) explode, and the last I can think of is the bodies at the end being dragged out by meathooks(RE3.5)
I'm sure we could make a nice section in the article if we found more or similiar things in other films.Atirage 02:37, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Film and other Media influence

message: i dont know if this should be added to the article, but i thought it was quite an intresting find...
get the ROM here > i only played it once and it froze on me.
You can read an article about it here > (scroll down)
btw, I stumbled on it looking for a ROM image of the cancelled game boy resident evil game, so if anyone has that please share
:Seeing as it's a bootleg and not an actual game, it's fancruft and shouldn't be included. Morgan695 17:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  NES Resident Evil original pirate 

message: The sentence, "There are currently two Resident Evil films, with two others in development, written by Paul W. S. Anderson." sort of irks me.  I could have sworn I heard Paul WS Anderson say that there would only be three films.  This sentence implies that there are 4.  I've checked on Filmforce, and the imdb, neither mention a 4th installment.  Only 3.  One before the games, one durring the games, and one after.--HARRYericPOTTER 20:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Biohazard/Resident Evil Orchestra Album

message: Some time ago somebody moved this page from Resident Evil to Resident Evil (series) and setup a disambiguation page there that pointed to the video game and the movie too despite already being covered in this page.
Within a few days people were adding all the other movies and games to that page and additional information and so it became a poor copy of this page.  Unable to move this page back I put a #Redirect at resident evil to here.
Once again a disambig page is back at Resident Evil pointing to this article, the first video game and the first movie despite all being covered here and the trouble we have gone to provide a media-neutral introduction to the story and characters although perhaps this page could do with some more copyediting to more fairly weight the coverage.
Other franchises such as Star Trek and Pokemon have no such disambiguation page.  If anyone else believes this page should be back at Resident Evil or whether the disambiguation page there is a better idea please leave a comment below.  DamienG 15:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Page belongs at Resident Evil 

message: An official Resident Evil Wiki has been opened at http://residentevil.wikia.com. Could it help to clean up the wikipedia community to simply list the real-world resident evil information here and link it to pages on the RESEVIL wikia?
: What exactly makes it "official"?  I can see nothing to say it has been sanctioned by Capcom.  It is also not wikipedia policy to remove entire regions of content to put elsewhere instead. DamienG 15:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: RESIDENT EVIL WIKI

message: Over the based few months, I have been cleaning up various Resident Evil related articles on Wikipedia. Yesterday, I discovered that a few articles contain content that has plagiarized from the Resident Evil Encyclopedia. Please be on the look-out for RE articles with an "uncanny" professional tone. --ShadowJester07 19:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plagiarism Issues 

message: Dear Friends:
Recently, the article titled Sega Mega Drive/Sega Genesis was renamed simply Sega Mega Drive with the reasoning that Sega Mega Drive is the correct name because it was the name that came 'first' and any other branding that came later should simply be a redirect to the initial name, regardless of which name is better known or more popular (Google Searches come up with more results for "Sega Genesis" than "Sega Mega Drive").
Therefore, I am making the proposal to move Nintendo Entertainment System to the name of origin, Famicom; the Super Nintendo Entertainment System to the name of origin, Super Famicom; and Resident Evil to the name of origin, Biohazard.  Please comment on this below.  Thank you. 71.244.180.131 23:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem with your reasoning is that Wikipedia editors try to avoid redirects as they are startling to newcomers, also the titles of the artices should reflect what the most English speaking users know the subject as, see WP:NAME. By the same reasoning the article on Tom Cruise should be renamed to Thomas Mapother. Why not, that was his original name, shouldn't it be the title of the article? In addition, the main reasoning behind the renaming of the Sega Mega Drive is that it is only known as the Sega Genesis in one country, therefore the majority of people in the world know the subject of the article as the Sega Mega Drive. Whereas the Nintendo Entertainment System is only know as the Famicom in Japan (one country) the same goes for Resident Evil being known only as Biohazard in Japan. Therefore the majority of people the subjects of the articles as the Nintendo Entertainment System and Resident Evil. The Filmaker 00:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Resident Evil 

message: Contains too much unsourced material. Namely the statements regarding the fans. Resident Evil 2 was considered the best during the PS1 era. Things have changed since then obviously.  I'm removing parts of it, unless someone has sources to back up these claims. Lengis 02:55, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
