I shall take a look at this article for any errors to be corrected. It should take about less than two hours, given the size of the article. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 02:24, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- That's not punctually correct to add a comma there. There's no need for a pause for that part.

- I'm not positive a semi-colon is needed in this case as there is no need to break up major sentence elements here.
  - "Semicolons are used in addition to commas to separate items in a listing, when commas alone would result in confusion." However, if it really does sound like a bad idea, then consider this as optional.

Source 4's publisher is Univision Communications, no longer Gawker Media.
- Semantics on this one but I changed it.
~~Source 5 does not appear to have useful information, as all of the claims in the article have already been verified (with all the other sources); that is, if I am not mistaken.~~
- Actually it does. The Venturebeat article mentions when John Keefer left Crispy Gamer. The Kotaku article didn't. It supplements the Kotaku article.
  - All right. My mistake there. Never mind that part.

When has the website been shut down? Any announcement for that?
- Not from what I found.
Are you certain that this article is complete? I assume that it is, but I would like to find out for sure, and I trust what you have to say.
- I cannot find anymore information on the article. Coverage of it dropped after the editorial staff got laid off and the CEO left. The website itself is dead anyway if you look it up.

The main issue with Crispy Gamer is that it has a really odd history. It came and went through a very dramatic way and people all assumed it was closed afterwards. That turned out to not be the case but no one covered it ever again. Heck, I've actually contacted former members of Crispy Gamer about the apparent revival of the site with them having no clue. Don't know what else to say. GamerPro64 03:20, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Status: Done

All right. My review for this short but relatively complete article is Done. Placing this article On hold for edits to take effect. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 03:09, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

All right. I suppose that I can ✓ Pass the article, although I would personally find it helpful if the semicolons were used in one situation. ~~Gamingforfun~~³⁶⁵ (talk) 17:49, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I went through a quick fact check after Gamingforfun admitted that they hadn't done so on the WikiProject talk page. The information in the article and that which I find in the sources agree with eachother. In particular, all relevant numbers, dates, and names reflect the sources. Looking through the sources, I do feel that this article could have been twice as long and used multiple sections, meaning I would definitely oppose an FAC, but I suppose it's fine for now ^_^; ~Mable (chat) 11:19, 8 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
