I'll try and get to this before Sunday next. If you don't see any comments here by then, please ping me. --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:37, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I spotted two biggies that stood out in the "Games" section.

Is Rodrigo Copetti and Brendan's Website valid sources? I've never heard of them before now.
None of the launch titles are cited.
The Re-releases section in general looks off.
Ref 56 uses two references in one citation, they need to be separated.

Thanks for these notes. I’ll tackle items 2, 3, and 4 in a day or so.

As to Copetti, he’s a self-published author, which can be problematic. However, it’s clearly throughly researched, with sources cited and a change log provided. As self-published sources go, I feel it’s pretty close to perfect.

As to Brendan's Website, I would trust it. Here it appears to be a supplemental reference. Nothing there isn’t already supported by the other two refs. We can delete it. RickyCourtney (talk) 14:48, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake I added a new introductory paragraph for the games section and a paragraph on the best-selling Game Boy video games. As requested, I added citations for the launch titles section. I removed the re-releases section, as it really has nothing to do with the Game Boy, but rather the later consoles. RickyCourtney (talk) 23:39, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
