3D Monster Maze

Review commentary

BACbKA and Frodet have been notified, although the former seems inactive, and also left a message at at WikiProject Video games. Step hen 02:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Has two sections that lack a single reference. Promoted in early 2006, not sure this is up to the current standards. --Step hen 01:54, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, this article is in strong need of proper in-text citations. I added a tag. Randomran (talk) 02:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see only one section without a reference. That said, I believe part of that issue is that the references do not use <ref> and a dedicated {{cite}} template. Those should be cleaned up. --Izno (talk) 02:56, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are correct. I misread Edge 2006 as a type of assembler. --Step hen 03:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The image page for Image:Malcolm-Evans-NGS98.jpeg claims modification and commercial use are allowed, but the included email does not support that. I brought this up to BACbKA about a year ago at User talk:BACbKA but it never got resolved. ~~Other non-free images are lacking rationale.~~ The backlink from the footnote works for me in Firefox, but the link from the Harvard ref to the note does not. ~~The section header "Critical acclaim" seems a little POV to me—"Reception" or something similar would be better.~~ The lead should be expanded.

I have updated the FUR for the images. Image:Malcolm-Evans-NGS98.jpeg is form commons and I'll give BACbKA some time to update the descirption - it appears that some mail communication has transpired earlier. As for the footnotes, Harvard style, they work both ways for me in Opera. I'll take a look at the lead and citations next. --Frodet (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. The footnote link problem was discussed at Template talk:Ref#Help—it's related to popups. I'd personally rather use the cite.php system, but I know that BACbKA is strongly for Harvard. Does Image:3D-monster-maze-roll-up-roll-up.png satisfy Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria? Why could it not be replaced by text? Pagra shtak 23:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary

Suggested FA criteria concerns are references and their formatting (1c and 2c). Marskell (talk) 09:55, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is nothing wrong with the references and their formatting as far as I can see. From comments above, this seems to boil down to various plugins for various browsers. --Frodet (talk) 06:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delist per 1c, hasn't markedly improved; there is still a section without a single reference, and multiple unreferenced assertions. --Stephen 10:08, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I'm reading the article with biased eyes, so could someone please add some {{cn}} where you think it's needed? --Frodet (talk) 11:26, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's a whole section, but I've added tags to some unreferenced assertions. --Stephen 01:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I have tried to add references where you have requested them. However, it is notorioulsy difficult to find on-line references for such an relatively old topic. I hope it's back to acceptable standards now. --Frodet (talk) 22:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
While it could be improved further, at the moment the referencing doesn't suck as much as when it started. Frodet seems to be working on it, so weak keep. giggy _(:O) 06:51, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Remove even after a large amount of talk about the lack of refs, nothing appears to have been done to address 1c. Buc (talk) 12:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
