This article should probably explain what "sadako's curse" is. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 23:18, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
What about the other versions of Ring that seem to be missing from here? The 1995 TV movie (and its later uncut VHS release) which actually introduces a few elements later taken and improved on in Ring (1998) (Sadako appearing to Ryuji the day after he sees the video, Sadako appearing to kill Ryuji (albeit not from a TV in this one), Asakawa's investigation being moved to shortly after Tomoko dies as opposed to a month later like in the novel, etc.), the 1996 Radio Drama (where Asakawa is a Radio DJ, there's a young girl instead of Ryuji, and the cursed tape is an audio tape), the 1999 TV series that significantly changes the story (the victims get 13 days instead of 7, the video is an interference between a legitimate broadcast of a music video rather than directly recorded and its effect get blamed on that video's song (Shiroi yo by Matsuzaki Nao), etc.), the sequel of that - the 1999 Rasen TV series, which includes a significantly different plot compared to the novel, the original novel-based manga (with slight differences compared to the novel), the 1998 movie tie-in manga (with important differences compared to the movie), its sequel (manga adaptation of Ring 2), manga adaptations of Rasen and Birthday with significant differences compared to the novel, and the manga of Ring 0: Birthday? They need to be somehow mentioned.
Also the timeline puts Birthday after Loop even though one of its short stories, Floating Coffin, is actually essentially an outtake of Rasen. - OBrasilo ( talk) 01:11, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

The current version's table lists "Ring 2" under the heading "Ring (1991) → Suzuki novel Japan", but the Ring 2 article says the film is "a new sequel to Ring, not based on Suzuki's works".
And then there's a sentence:
But Ring 2 came out in 1999, so it is the alternative, not Rasen.
I'm going to do some checking, but my suspicion is that a lot of the info in the table needs to be clarified. Anyone got any pointers for me? Great floors ( talk) 17:54, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
It’s a novel that is a spin-off and prequel to the series, I’m not too familiar with it but it should be mentioned BlackAdvisor ( talk) 14:21, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
