Talk:Nuon (DVD technology)

What NUON stands for.

It's pretty annoying how people keep removing the part where I posted that NUON stands for Nobody Understands Our Name. Dude, I used to read Next Gen when it was a mag worth reading. They said it THEMSELVES in an interview. I do not still have the issue, sorry. Though.... There's a slim chance it was also in Ultra Game Players. Those were the best mags around at the time. My point is that I ain't no stupid vandal and I will KEEP reinforcing the acronym. I WISH I had a citation but I no longer have the magazine. I checked!Utils

Unfortunately, that's not how Wikipedia works. Vague rememberences of something you might have read in a magazine a long time ago, is just not a reference. Claiming somthing that's not supported by any VM Labs press release, their own website (which is still archived), faq, fansite, or by people who actually worked at the company, makes it grounds for removal. Stating you'll keep adding it in, regardless of Wikipedia policy, is also grounds for disruptive editing and temporary blocking of your IP. If you can find a reference that supports it, as Wikipedia requires, then you're more than welcome to add that (along with the reference citation) back in. --Marty Goldberg 12:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay. But don't fucking call it vandelism. Utils 23:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

And also how Wikipedia works - watch your language and the attitude. --Marty Goldberg 05:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

NUON never really meant Nobody Understands Our Name, though some of the staff would joke that's what it meant, another one was Never Underestimate Our Nuon. I worked on Freefall 3050 AD and talked to some of the guys there a bit and spent a few weeks in the VM Labs office, I didn't ask everyone, but those that I did, didn't know where the name came from and attributed it to some marketing people thinking up a scientific sounding name.

Topic 1: NUON changes discussion

I will be working on numerous changes to this article. I will probably be done with it by tomorrow, but with that being said, please discuss anything you think should stay here. For now, I have only replaced and expanded the article, but I will be replacing a lot of what's on this page tomorrow. I just though I would open a discussion so I can get feedback from other people who may have some knowledge or good references for this console. AustralianPope (talk) 00:29, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Topic 2: section recommendations

What section should I add to make sure this article is complete? I would like to hear any requests. I know I need a reception section and I am working on that now. I am going to rewrite the smaller sections I have not touched yet. I suppose I would need a discontinuation sections. Anything I am missing? AustralianPope (talk) 00:43, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

@AustralianPope: The only similar article I can think of would be the Virtual Boy by Nintendo, which you may want to base some of the article off of. I'd recommend combining "Development History" and "Showcase and Launch" into a single History section. Try to avoid too many subheadings as well. If you can combine "Development History", "Branding Origin", "Showcase and Launch", and "Early Impressions" into a few paragraphs of just a "History" section with no subsections that'd be preferable. Same with the multiple games and three hardware sections: "Competitive Features", "Hardware models", and "Peripherals and accessories" could all be in a single "Hardware" heading. Released, unreleased, and homebrew games could all go under the same "Games" heading.

Also, while this would take longer than my previous request, the lists of games, peripherals, etc. may be better represented using "prose", aka paragraphs rather than the bulleted lists they current use.

Feel free to take as much time as you need and ask any questions you may have on my Talk page. Thanks for your contributions, I wouldn't have known about the Nuon had I not stumbled upon this article :D --Nicereddy (talk) 02:33, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

You've done a good job with your edits here. I am actually going to use more sources and expand some of the sections you are talking about. I may fuse a couple of them though, I just have been waiting until I have the rest of the sources. Nuon is a very good device, but sadly, finding references for it takes some very odd wording, otherwise I get tons of other results not even related to what I am searching for.AustralianPope (talk) 19:45, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Re combining sections, how's this? The spread-outness was bugging me. —174.141.182.82 (talk) 14:47, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Ars Technica: NUON OEM specifications

I went on the Ars Technica post referenced on this article several times, which directly contains a link in its body to a document titled "NUON Multi-Media Architecture, Aries 3 Specifications, Full OEM Version", by VM Labs. I assume that it is not possible to refer to that document based on copyright grounds, but would referring to the Ars Technica article instead be good enough?

I removed the outright untrue parts of the CPU specs on the article, but want to add to it, including details based on that specification. Would doing so be tolerated? AlphaLONE (talk) 14:01, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
