Reviewer: Altava (talk · contribs) 21:57, 8 December 2011 (UTC) Good day, gentlemen. I'm here from WP:VG to assess the article for Good Article status, per the criteria listed at WP:GA?.

Quick Fail Criteria

• The contains at least some reliable sources.
• No obvious neutrality issues.
• There is a Barelinks banner, and it is still valid.
• The article seems to be undergoing a small but persistent edit war.
• The game is admittedly a little recent, but it's not a current event nor is it a thoroughly controversial title so it should be fine.

Obviously, there are a couple very pressing problems here. Furthermore, all of the images used within the article should probably be reduced in size, and the rationales really should be a little more detailed- and many sources are of questionable reliability (although none of these three factors are quick-fail, they're part of the main GA criteria and should be remedied anyway.)

Though you have my apologies, I'm afraid that the article does not appear to be ready for a full GA review at this time. Though the article has definite potential, it will take a bit more work to prepare it for GA. Emmy Altava 21:57, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

We'll get to work on the barelinks immediately, but I don't think the edit war should be held against us. The warring is the result of a couple of persistent vandals who refuse to acknowledge the consensuses reached no the talk page; the fact that they continue to do so even after being blocked (and, in one case, insulting and harassing other editors) makes it very difficult to assume good faith, and I don't think it's fair to keep us from being reviewed because they refuse to follow policy or make positive contributions. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 22:21, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
