1. I would like to have links within blaster wikis leading to reviews, in the same way that reviews have links to the wikis.

2. I believe that many people are capable of writing detailed and mature reviews. Because of this, there should not be only one review per blaster, but however many can help paint a complete and fair picture.

I might be able to arrange this. This depends on how user reviews are set up. I'm considering making a new forum area for product reviews, and through that we could find a way to link the list of user-made reviews to the articles. This might be the best way of going about the whole "removing reviews" thing, as this allows people to actively and continue to review products in a less "official" way. An alternative is that we could potentially do something similar to how reviews are handled on the Lego Wiki: have a set page for all reviews and have user reviews displayed within them, after they have been approved by users/staff. We may also be able to start doing something like having a review of the month, hand-picked by the community.

While most of the Mega stuff are elite, they should be classified as N-Strike MEGA, since nowhere on the MEGA part does it say "elite".

I always thought the Elite series was a sub series. I think the Modulus deserves its own series. The only problem is how to go about naming it on articles. should it be N-Strike MEGA for all products, Elite or not? or should it simply be MEGA/MEGA Series?

I think the performance page should be more of statistics and reliability than an actual review. I do have concerns of vandalism on the performance pages, though. Removing the Nerfer articles is fine, as I do not believe they are as important and they can be easily found on a community site. I am also not in favor of keeping the Nerf Blogs articles. Performance articles may need to be locked, like how Review articles are currently locked. This was done because there were so many edit wars over opinion; the Vulcan got the bulk of this treatment and back in the day when everything was scored, people would fight over its final score. This depends how people treat the Performance articles however. Since it's going to be more of a list of stats and performance notes, it may get less vandalism.

Thanks for your guys' opinions so far, this is making it super helpful on what should be done regarding the site.
