[edit]

Is there a reason that this article includes no coverart or screenshot? Was there a copyright claim or something? Tezero (talk) 01:37, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Tezero, Rogers is sending stuff—just working out the OTRS permissions. Thought it would be easier to wait than to delete non-free uploads. czar ♔ 03:48, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I will review your article. I am not too great at this yet, so go easy on me if I screw up. wirenote (talk) 16:12, 6 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Why are there no images? I think maybe the app icon would be good to include.
Please note that images are NOT a requirement for good articles. I suggest you read this article which will help with your understanding of the criteria.--Dom497 (talk) 00:30, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I am well aware of the good article criteria and what they are not, and I was not planning to fail this article because of this. I am simply making a suggestion since most video game articles have images. wirenote (talk) 22:24, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Gameplay: Disambiguation link found, for pogo. Please fix
  • Is player-character usually spelled with a hyphen?
  • Link Twitter.
  • Development: After you say Tim Rogers, we do not repeat "Tim" again.
  • Please pay attention to WP:N'T. "didn't" should be "did not".
  • Reception: Please include the GameRankings aggregation in the prose as well
  • As TouchArcade is a web publication, it is not italicized
  • with arcade mechanics as "sublimely chewable ... bubblegum". I don't understand this.
  • The first mention of Joseph Leray in the text is just as "Leray" and we only learn his first name a few paragraphs later. Please fix

Overall I am satisfied with the article. Please address these and I will pass this GA nomination. wirenote (talk) 22:02, 7 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Wirenote, about images, see the talk page—I'm in contact with Rogers about OTRSing game assets and, you know, E3 season, etc. Player-character is used both ways—I prefer the hyphenation as less confusing. GameRankings doesn't need to be mentioned in the prose by any rule I know (and wasn't mentioned in my other GAs/FAs). TouchArcade is italicized per WP:ITALICS (which says: Online magazines, newspapers, and news sites with original content should generally be italicized)—it has little to do with whether it's a website and more with its function. If it functions like a magazine or newspaper, the work is italicized. I believe I've addressed the rest. Thanks for the review! czar ♔ 00:52, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen no further issues with this article and will pass, well done. wirenote (talk) 22:24, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
