Talk:List of iPad accessories

Deletion
This page was created by a user who seems hell bent on deleting the Ipad 2 article. Although a nomination for deletion of that article failed, the editor has nevertheless been deleting parts of the article in attempt to delete it salami style (one slice at a time).

The information in this article, although it may not be in the best place (it belongs in the original article in my opinion - but others may vary), is AFAICT, the only place the iPad accesories are documented. This should not therefore be deleted but, in my view, moved back to where it was. 86.184.24.24 (talk) 16:09, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Except for the fact that the iPad accessories work with both generations of iPad, and thus are inappropriate to include only in iPad 2... -- Eraserhead1 &lt;talk&gt; 17:23, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
 * No deletion. This separate page stops the constant moving of the accessories info from page to page once and for all. Plus, as mentioned above, the info is not specific to either iPad 1 or 2. Jimthing (talk) 09:05, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit request.
"Smart cover" and "Smart Cover" should link to the new page here: IPad accessories. (Un)cleverly and needlessly salted, IMO. Jimthing (talk) 09:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Just been done. Jimthing (talk) 10:15, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Orange Smart Cover?
I have an Orange smart cover, and I just checked Apple's website and they no longer sell it, and it's not listed as a color here. What happened to it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by DanielDPeterson (talk • contribs) 11:56, 7 December 2011 (UTC)

Converting article into a table
What do you guys think about converting this entire article into a table? At the moment, there are too many short one line sections that are unlikely to be expanded upon, in my opinion the best approach is to just transfer the existing content to a table. Sections with enough info to meet notability guidelines should be summarised here with the remainder of the content moved to a separate article on the subject alone. Note that nothing at the moment is set in stone, I'm just putting forth a proposal, however if I don't get any replies by the 23rd Jan, I'll start the transfer. I've notified the Apple Wikiproject to get more opinions or feedback on this. YuMaNuMa Contrib 06:24, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

Example
This is obviously incomplete and a work in progress, though this is what I had in mind.

Zach's Proposal

 * Glad to see that you're back! For the table we might be able to include an image column if we can find enough images to fill most of the rows. I guess I didn't keep my word when I said I would start the transfer if no one replies. YuMaNuMa  Contrib 01:11, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'm going to find CC images to use for the table. I also need to add the Smart Case. Zach Vega  ( talk to me ) 01:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

Zach's Proposal (Revision 2)

 * I have a slight issue with this, in that it makes it quite a lot less readable. There's also a guideline somewhere that says if something about stuff in prose rather than lists. I understand this is full of prose, but it just isn't quite as accessible, especially on smaller screen devices; when viewing on my iPad, a lot of space is blank because of the photo column, and the prose is squashed into a corner, making it less readable, and making for more scrolling. It also makes jumping to a specific part harder, which is more necessary if there's more scrolling required. I personally feel it makes the article less readable, but they're just my thoughts. drewmunn talk 09:50, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm viewing this page on an iPad as well and I can see what you mean, however I personally don't believe it's any less readerable. The reason I suggested converting this article into a list is because you can't really expand upon what's already included in the article hence it's reached its limit, however by formatting it as a list it may potentially be promotable.
