Kya: Dark Lineage

As the diff shows, in the last 24 hours I've done a lot of work on the Kya: Dark Lineage article. I'm going to continue to make edits to this as I move along, but I was wondering if I could get some input on the layout or suggestions to improve the article. Sourcing is going to take place when I get home and have access to the game and instruction booklet. Cheers, Lankybugger 20:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The layout of every article is likely to be different than the next. For some examples, check out the layout of featured articles of other video games. You can get ideas from any of these and use them in your article. Also look at some of the newer FAs in that group and note the amount of referencing and the various kinds of references that are used. You'll need to have a wide range of reference types to bring this article to a superb quality. Also look at the amount of wikilinking that is done in those articles. Use it, but don't go overboard like this. Often your best bet is to just look at how things have been done in other similar articles and try to either mimic it or improve upon it.

You need a development section -- look at some VG FAs for examples.
The reception section can go into more detail.
In the lead I read "the titular character Kya", then at the start of the body there's an image with "The titular character, Kya", then the text starts with "Kya: Dark Lineage begins with Kya, the protagonist". If you tell me that the game's protagonist is Kya, I can figure out that she's mentioned in the title.
Improve the Captions.
The article needs copy editing. Ex: "During each of the nine stages within the game ..." doesn't needs "within the game".
Another ex: "Complimenting Kya's mobility is her 'Boomy'" -- You mean complement, and I don't understand how the weapon is a complement to mobility.
Add fair use rationale to the images.
Flesh out the refs: add publication date, publisher, and author information when available.
