Quantum Break
[edit]... that Quantum Break was one of the fastest-selling new original properties released by Microsoft Studios since the release of Xbox One?
- ALT1:... that Quantum Break was described as a "transmedia action-shooter video game and television hybrid"?
- ALT2:... that Quantum Break originated from an in-game TV show called "Quantum Suicide" in Alan Wake?

This article is large enough and does appear to have a GA that is not a fake. However how does credit for GA's work? Most of the heavy lifting was done by user Thnidu. AdrianGamer certainly has the nomination credit and was the major person making changes for GA, but not the only one. However one paragraph in the Overview section is uncited, and the plot section is uncited. How is the plot in a game verifiable? Has anyone else written about the plot? The plot could well depend on the player, so we will need something to tell us where the plot came from. Was it from the TV show embedded in the game? Copying identified by the Earwig copyvio detector looks as if the youtuber copied the Wikipedia lede. So no copyviolations here. On the hook side of things, I don't like the terminology "new original properties" as it sounds jargony. Anyway the hook is right at the end of the article, with a cite. But the source does not actually confirm it, instead of xbox1 it talks about "this generatation" which started with " Insomniac's Sunset Overdrive and Crytek's Ryse". And the source is slightly confusing about whether it is just UK or not. So perhaps a better source is available for this. For hook alt1, it is in the article. But there is not citation on the statement, and the closest cite source makes no mention of "transmedia action-shooter video game and television hybrid". ALT2 hook is in the article, cited and confirmed by the gamespot reference. QPQ was done. So the summary at this point is that only alt2 is suitable, and that a small bit of referencing is required.

- I am the one that expanded the article, (before the expansion) while Thnidu is a WP:GOCE copyeditor. It is not a pass-by nom. Plot section usually does not need any citations, but I can cite the game per Wikipedia:How to write a plot summary#Citations. I have added a relevant source to ALT1 as well.

- Don't worry you will get the credit for DYK. I was thinking out aloud. Plot citation confirmed. But the second paragraph under Overview has no citation. Alt1 in the article, now has a citation, and is confirmed. So the only thing left is for one paragraph to get a citation. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 23:04, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
- I have used the game as a source to support that paragraph. AdrianGamer (talk) 10:39, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
Now it is fully cited, this can be good to go with ALT1. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
