  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:
  • Why isn't the article title Final Fantasy VII Advent Children (Famicon)?
Common name vs. full game name. Because of the limited availability of the cartridge and more people are likely to play the game as just the rom, they won't see the Advent Children subtitle (it isn't mentioned at all in the game itself). It's relating to an arbitration awhile back regarding common names vs. full ones (though that was in regards to characters). Do you think it should be moved regardless?
If they aren't likely to see advent children, couldn't you just remove that from the first words of the article (in bold) and be done with? giggy (:O) 01:18, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • "for the Famicom and their final game" - and their final game? What does that mean?
Fixed to state it was their last released game.
  • "In addition to weapson" - typo?
Fixed.
  • "As the box and name both make reference to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children,..." - needs italics?
Fixed.
  • "A lack of healing options and slow rate of item level-ups hinder things a bit more" - can we get more professional prose...
That should be fixed to read better...sorry about this, some of this was written during a hectic AfD :\
  • "The game has managed to receive a great deal of praise from various sources in very short time" - be careful with the POV phrasing.
Rewrote to aim for a more neutral tone.
  • Ref 10; Baidu shouldn't have italics.
Fixed.
  • [1] needs a better fair use rationale.
I think this one's fixed.
  • Both of the gameplay images need more descriptive captions.
Should be fixed.
Derrick Sobodash (the blog owner/writer) is being cited as a professional on the subject of games of this sort and rom structure. His coverage of the game is what set off sites like Joystik to give it coverage (in turn citing his article in their own). He has written as a journalist for publications such as PiQ, done work on rom translations Final Fantasy V (SNES), Sonic Eraser, and other material mentioned here which should verify him as a reliable source.
Removed that, also cited editor involved in that article.
  • dates appearing as "(2008-02-27)" need formatting - just put one wikilink around the whole thing and it'll format as 2008-02-27 (edit this page and see how it's done).
Should be fixed.

Please leave me a note when done. Cheers, giggy (:O) 06:45, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully I've managed to cover everything. Just waking up but it should all be in order ^^;--Kung Fu Man (talk) 14:03, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
