Review commentary
[edit]- notified parties: WikiProjects Video Games and Xbox (Strategy Project defunct); users Krator, Xihr and SkyWalker (latter two inactive according to user page)
June 2007 FA that fails current standards (and probably wasn't that great back then, either.) Issues:
- crit. 1: I wouldn't say the article is very broad in coverage, or comprehensive. The 'Development' section is little more than technology overviews and demo/bug fix lists, with little information about the real conception of the game (considering this is meant as the spiritual successor to Total Annihilation, I'm surprised that facet is given short shrift). Prose appears to have eroded and there are lots of tiny one or two line/sentence paragraphs that need to be dealt with. Large swaths of the article are unreferenced.
- crit. 2: Lead section does not adequately summarize the article;
- crit. 3: Poor compliance with WP:NFCC. Three sound clips (Risk, Relief and Victory.ogg, Massive Attack.ogg, and The Future Battlefield.ogg) have absolutely no critical commentary to merit the inclusion of just one of the samples. File:Pcgamer_cover_small.jpg is purely decorative, and File:SupCom Dualview.png and File:SupCom ZoomAnimation.gif need at the very least better FUR than the generic "illustrate subject of the article" they have now.

FARC commentary
[edit]- Suggested FA criteria concern are citations, breadth of coverage, lead, images. Also note the recent change to WP:WIAFA (1c) requiring "high-quality" sources. FAQ? YellowMonkey (cricket calendar poll!) paid editing=POV 02:29, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
