Article review

Hello, Mtstaffa, I have reviewed your article as requested. My review is as follows:

The article is generally verifiable with adequate inline citations. However, I've noticed that some of the sections do not have any citations. In addition, a few paragraphs also have no citations. In general, there should be at least one in-line citation per paragraph, so if it's possible, add at least one citation to each paragraph that does not have a citation (make sure the source verifies the text).

The article, while not poorly written, has many grammar errors, and it was a bit difficult to follow as a result. I would recommend recruiting the help of a member of the Guild of Copy Editors to look over and copy edit your article. Since I'm a member of the Guild, if you would like I'd be happy to copy edit the article for you.

It looks like your references are just bare links. This is OK, but I would recommend putting them in a {{citation}} template. For books, use the {{Cite book}} template, and for websites use the {{Cite web}} template.

It seems as though there's already an article titled Gala Group about a casino owned by the UK. I would recommend you change the name of the article. Perhaps you could call it "Gala Inc." instead? Or, perhaps "Gala Group (video game company)"? Or something along those lines.

Other than that, everything looks good. The "Awards" section is well-cited, the article has categories, and it's about a notable group. I think, after you make the above improvements, you should put the article in mainspace Wikipedia. The Utahraptor

Additional review - the subsidiaries section should be re-written so that it is concise and less promotional. Other than that, you've done a good job with the article. -Cntras (talk) 04:12, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

User:Mtstaffa/Satoru Kikugawa

I wanted to let you know that I have edited your article in progress User:Mtstaffa/Satoru Kikugawa, since it was showing up in main space categories. I added a : to the beginning of each category tag, so you can keep track of which categories you added, but the article will no longer show up in category directories. When you are ready to move the article to main space, you can just remove the : from each.

Thanks for editing Wikipedia! -- KathrynLybarger (talk) 20:17, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi KathrynLybarger (talk)! Thanks for letting me know about that. I had no idea that it would still show up in category directories even though it was in my user draft! I really appreciate it. So many rules to learn but I'm doing my best to learn quickly!!! Mtstaffa (talk) 01:26, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Imps

Hello Mtstaffa. You have recently undone some of my edits to the Oxford Imps without giving justification for it, there are a few points I'd like to clear up. Have you been able to find references for the claim that they have performed on BBC Radio Oxford? This seems to be an unfounded claim, or at least a case of original research and to bring it back to the article without referencing it seems counterproductive. Also, how do you justify as encyclopedic the use of a quote from a review in the opening section of the article? This is clearly a matter of opinion. One could just as easily put a bad review in its place and change the whole emphasis of the article. I must remind you that wikipedia is not a vehicle for opinion and least of all should it be used for the promotion a product or brand. Theotheothelonious (talk) 20:06, 215 October 2012 (UTC)
