GA Reassessment

Article does not comply with MoS fiction. The Manual of Style says fictional elements should not be described from an in-universe perspective. The entire fictional biography section needs to be rewritten or removed. –IsaacAA (talk) 20:54, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's essentially a Plot section, just like what you would find in a movie or video game article. It's the only part of an article that is mostly written in-universe; even then, as recommended by the guidelines, it's suggested that the article ground the section in the real world. Well, this section already does, by mentioning the games and in which game some of the facts come from, etc. Gary King (talk · scripts) 01:16, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Then it should be listed by the works of fiction it draws from, for example if the first two paragraphs are the plot of the manga, it should be mentioned, preferably as a subsection called "depiction in manga" or similar, and not a fictional biography. –IsaacAA (talk) 03:41, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay; the article will probably need more time for someone to work on it than a GAR will allow, then. Gary King (talk · scripts) 05:01, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote "Fictional Biography" as "Description", is it OK now? igordebraga ≠ 13:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, seems to be in compliance with the MoS Writing about fiction section except for the use of past tense. Thank you very much. –IsaacAA (talk) 08:11, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
