Well, crud. I forgot about this and now have misplaced my notes. I'm travelling, so I won't be able to post anything for another day or so... sorry for the delay, please bear with me. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 20:10, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Not a problem - we all get busy sometimes. --Teancum (talk) 00:19, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

• Images:
  • File:Xmenlegends newxmen.png fails NFCC. Depiction of costumes only isn't really a compelling rationale.Y
• Prose:
  • Elements from the lead (who Alison Crestmere is, who the X-Men are, et al) are somewhat explained in the lead but not in the body. Per policy, everything in the lead must be in the article body.Y
  • There's a lot of confusing verb tenses throughout. Past tense is simple and straightforward; no reason to deviate from that in historical sections unless necessary. You can see some of the problems that I removed in one section.[1]
  • The Article needs an audit for accessibility to non-gamers. Terms like "drop in, drop out" are undefined; comparisons that would mean little to non-players leave the prose cloudy, such as "Co-operative play is similar to Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2"."
  • Why is "Man of Action" italicized? It's not a work. Actual works, like the X-Men films, The Wonder Years, and Ultimate X-Men, are not italicized.Y
  • " IGN stated "To capture the 'comic book feel,' "... - publications aren't people and don't have opinions, it's the critics who do.Y
  • You can cut down a lot of redundant words throughout the article ("As Alison trains, the X-Men are sent to explore an Alaskan research facility", et al.)

I am putting the article on hold for now. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 20:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. I think I'm going to withdraw the nomination, though. The last time I took this to peer review the responses were extremely minimal, so though I can fix some of these things, I don't feel like alone I can correct the second, third, and last prose issues found without peer participation. Truthfully at the moment I'm happy with it being B class, so perhaps I'll shift focus to a new article. --Teancum (talk) 20:56, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
