- Nominator(s): PresN 20:12, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
A couple months ago, someone created this list in time for the release of the 4th main game of the franchise, and I thought it was pretty clearly based on my own FL List of Mass Effect media. And if they were going to go ahead and make a list based on an FL of mine, I thought it only made sense to come through and finish it off to nominate. This is the 8 video games, 2 motion comics, 1 film, 5 books, 1 board game, and 7 albums of the best-selling "totally-not-Indiana-Jones" video game franchise, all pulled together into one list. Thanks for reviewing! --PresN 20:12, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi. I created it, and I mean, thanks for nominating it and all, but just to bring you back down to earth I didn't base it on your list. I don't think you invented the "List of X media" format, and I have never played a Mass Effect game. Have a nice day. Andre666 (talk) 20:27, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh well, guess it was in my head, then. Just thought it looked really similar, using the same table format. Sorry! --PresN 20:43, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - Usual good quality, great job everybody. The article looks complete, well referenced, and references seem to resolve without any errors. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 16:49, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I noticed there is a complete lack of any media on this list of media page. Is there a reason images such as box covers, or a photograph of one of the main people involved in creating this series is not included? Mattximus (talk) 22:33, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair use images, such as box covers, would be more than likely deemed purely decorative and would not pass fair use requirements. Salavat (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I've never been a big fan of referencing pages like this, but that's only a personal preference; I can't deny their reliability, particularly for recent games like these. This entire article is meticulously sourced, and well-formatted. It's a Support from me. – Rhain ☔ 05:24, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comments from Famous Hobo Good for the most part, just a few nagging concerns
- Uncharted is an adventure media franchise developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment, composed of video games and associated media. Is it possible to publish a series? Yes Sony did publish all the games, but I don't think you can publish an entire series. Maybe just leave at developed by Naughty Dog
- In terms of references, what makes DualShockers (ref 19), and Loudr (ref 39) reliable sources?
Honestly, that's really all I could find. Well put list that once my concerns are either dealt with or answered accordingly, I'll easily support. Also, I know this was a pretty short review, but would you mind reviewing the Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward FAC? Since you've had experience with FA's before, maybe you could help out? Famous Hobo (talk) 02:50, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Famous Hobo: - did the first. Looks like Dualshockers is contraindicated by WP:VG/RS, so replaced with a Sony press release that mentions the date. Loudr is a music distribution service similar to Bandcamp, and as such is a valid source for proof that a piece of music was released through it's storefront. That said, I was on the fence about including that song to begin with, and the more I think about it the less I think that a cover song, regardless of it's legal status (Loudr lets musicians easily by rights to legally produce cover versions) should be included in a list of official releases. Removed the whole row. Will try to take a look at your FAC when I get a chance. --PresN 17:58, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- @Famous Hobo: - anything else? --PresN 18:54, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that those two points have been taken care of, I can Support. Famous Hobo (talk) 01:33, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
