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. Stephen 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. --Stephen 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. --Stephen 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. Pagrashtak 12:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

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? Pagrashtak 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]

• Delist (1c) Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:03, 10 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.
