Issues found
edit- The New York Times reference needs to use {{Cite web}}
- File:Hot Potato Screenshot.jpg has no information on who the copyright belongs to. I typically put it in the other_information parameter of the fair use rationale
- I added the copyright information and changed some of the other information around as well to make it more clear. Nomader (Talk) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- The Metacritic reference gives a 404 error. Please see here and here for how to recover the correct link. The publisher parameter also lists it as MetaCritic instead of Metacritic (lower case c)
- Bad news– the link doesn't seem to come up on either archive.org or through the apps.metacritic.com. If I do a search using the apps website though, it shows the Metacritic score the game received ([1]). Am I able to use that as a citation instead? Nomader (Talk) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- That's fine, just be sure to archive it using Webcite. Everything else looks good. --Teancum (talk) 18:27, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Alright, I archived it and put the link in the article, should take care of the last issue. Nomader (Talk) 19:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- (Lead section) "The game makes the player..." flows strangely. How about "In the game the player must..."
- (Gameplay section) The references at the end of the first paragraph should be reversed so that they're in numeric order
- (Gameplay section) The word 7 should be spelled out seven
- (Gameplay section) In the third sentence of the second paragraph, "from the road" is unnecessary and confusing - it makes the sentence to long to clearly understand
- (Gameplay section) "The game has no multiplayer component." is unnecessary as the reader is informed of that through the infobox
- (Reception section) "He criticized the game for failing to introduce the player to the point of the game" - two uses of "the game" seems redundant and unclear here. It should work just fine with "He criticized it for failing..."
Review complete - Gotta love the short articles. I'm done here, so please reply when these issues have been addressed.
- Thanks for the review! Well I think I've responded to all of your comments save the Metacritic issue. If worst comes to worst I can just remove Metacritic from the article altogether for now and just go with Game Rankings. Nomader (Talk) 16:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
Good work. The article can now PASS. --Teancum (talk) 20:37, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
