Re

 * 1) I do not assess articles in "less than a minute". I read through each article before I assess it. That I assessed PS1 and PS2 in the same minute is not an indication that I read them both in the same minute.
 * 2) You say that assessment does not matter, but then act like my re-rating of articles is dangerous or hurting anyone. For one, please stop blatantly violating WP:AGF and telling me that I assess articles in merely a few minutes based on the perception that I am reading an article and assessing it as opposed to reading several articles, and then assessing them. If assessment does not matter, then I haven't effected the work of anyone.
 * 3) My Doom assessment was based on me being harsher in the beginning with my ratings, though I still think Doom as a B-class is a bit shaky.
 * 4) The controversy section in the PS2 article needs to be rewritten, and it needs to be shuffled around. There are way too many images in the article, at least ten spots in the article that's missing citations, several short paragraphs, a sales section that should be expanded (it's one of the best-selling systems ever, if not THE best-selling system, after all), it's got a list of systems the PS2 can emulate with homebrew, and has low references for the size of the article. Heck, the list of technical specifications could be removed and replaced with a citation that includes that information if possible.
 * 5) The PlayStation article has at least four missing citations, a controversy section that is more relevant to Sony than the PlayStation, few citations considering the size, Quality of construction is unsourced, disputed neutrality (and if the neutrality IS disputed, the section may need to be rewritten). Comparing PlayStation with Wii (not as an FA to a B-class article), there's way too much list, and there's several cleanup tags strewn throughout the article. Heck, the History section only has one source until it hits the Legacy section, and the lead is too short.
 * 6) And Pong is probably B-class, after the trivia is removed. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 20:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:EarthEmpire.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:EarthEmpire.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:24, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
