Informal discussion:

I (Shd) added Fanatic and Mystic demos to the list since I've coded them, and they can't be considered famous.

Should we create entries for Amiga demo groups like this? amigademoscene:groupname

Should we add demo party names to the demo list?

why not? It's up to you.

[edit] Article fix-up

I've taken the liberty of copyediting and wikifying the article. I also reorganized the demo list by putting it in its own section and separating the demos into sublists under the respective groups. I also made sure every group name is linked and that every reference to a year goes to the corresponding Wikipedia article, and I added " (demo group)" to the title in the link for any groups whose names are ambiguous. I also fixed the URL link in there. Finally, removed the copyedit tag.

Now you just need more content. :-) Ddawson 18:44, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestions

This list would work much better if there were dates associated with the demo names, possibly even listed in chronological order to show progression over time. --Jolyonralph 00:09, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I suggest doing away with the list altogether. How does anyone decide what goes or doesn't go on it? If we're going to list some demos, we're going to have to pick some criteria and agree on it. --Vossanova o< 00:45, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Or else move the list to its own article and link it from this article. - Richardcavell 21:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Style cleanup

I decided to do a little style cleanup on this page. In accordance with one of the style guidelines, I've changed the essentially empty Fred Fish section into a See-also section referencing the article. (I know that article is a stub, but there's at least something there, as opposed to here.) Ddawson 15:25, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Article Cleanup Co-Ordination Point

Cleanup Co-ordination
This article has recently been tagged as requiring cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards.

The article may have been flagged as needing cleanup because it has been suggested that:

  • the article needs formatting, proofreading, or rephrasing in comprehensible English.
  • the article has multiple overlapping problems.
  • the article is very short and might need expanding, removal or merging with a broader article

For a full list of possible problems see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.

As part of the cleanup process, the automated bot PocKleanBot has generated this notice as a focus of cleanup efforts, and also contacted several contributing editors of the article to bring their attention to the problem. You should use this section to discuss possible resolution of the problem and achieve consensus for action. Only when there is a consensus that the article is now cleaned up should you then de-list it by deleting the cleanup tag from the article, this causes the article to drop off the monthly cleanup-needed list page.
