Bejeweled (video game)

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch • Watch peer review

As an introduction, Bejeweled is the very first game developed and released by PopCap Games. It was heavily influential in the casual games industry, being a major reason for its success and an inspiration for future match-three games. I am preparing this article for a potential future FAC. If all goes well, this article might be able to be featured on the front page for the 25th anniversary of its retail release.

Ahh, the match-three game that started it all. Unfortunately, I'm too young to remember it, but I'm happy to review this article for FA status! TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 15:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@TrademarkedTWOrantula: Hey it's been a week. Any update on your review? I'm not trying to rush you, I understand you have school. Lazman321 (talk) 04:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, no. I am occupied with school at the moment, but I will get to you soon. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 16:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely a long-time fan of the series. I'll take a look at the article's references in the next few days. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vacant0: I want to say thank you for your prompt review. I will edit the article to address your points. As for the GA Review, I have no idea why ProtoDrake didn't provide a spot-check. I asked him if he could do one, but he seemed to misinterpret my request. Lazman321 (talk) 18:30, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, to address your concerns over the reliability of some sources: DemiVision is a primary source, as it had been acquired by JAMDAT by the time Bejeweled Multiplayer was released; Wireless Gaming Review is a case of WP:USEBYOTHERS by The New York Times, GameSpot, and Game Studies, and it's only being used to support the specific platforms this version was released on; and I can just remove the MacDailyNews source as the information it supports is already supported by the IGN source.

The style of reference titles is currently inconsistent. It is recommended to have all titles use title case capitalization.
I won't do a spotcheck, but rather only check the reliability of references (both of which were supposed to be done in the GA review, but there is no indication of this).
Ref 14 is paywalled. Use the |url-access= parameter to indicate this.
There are several primary sources (PopCap, Astraware), which is fine.
I'm unsure about the reliability of DemiVision, Wireless Gaming Review, and MacDailyNews. The rest, including the two books, are reliable.
