Look for the review to be up in another 4 hours. Thanks,--(NGG) 00:15, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
    There are a few statements in the plot section that are unsourced like the final one. Are those statements included in the refs given? If not, you can cite the actual game.
That'll be tough for me; I don't own the game and I've never played it. — Levi van Tine (tc) 00:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
    C. It contains no original research:
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
  2. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
  3. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
  4. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
  5. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:
    File:Chronicles of Riddick PC box.jpg has absolutely no summary except for PC cover Add Template: Non-free media rationale. The screenshot in the gameplay section also has basically no summary. Try adding the template I mentioned above. I tried to make the image smaller in the character section and remove the black ends. It's smaller but it would not let me remove the ends so I suggest either getting rid of that screen or uploading another one.
On the subject of the cover, could it maybe be looked into getting a platform neutral version to detract attention from the PC logo. Salavat (talk) 16:17, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Done, I have uploaded a neutral cover and replaced the old PC version.--(NGG) 05:09, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Kool, always good to a have a platform neutral cover on a multi-platform game. Salavat (talk) 05:18, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just another note from me regarding the character image. The blacks ends have gone, the reason why the didnt appear to dissapear on the first upload would have been a cache problem and would just need a purge or a page refresh kinda thing. Salavat (talk) 06:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Is a larger summary really necessary? The most important part is the FUR, in my opinion. — Levi van Tine (tc) 00:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe that is what NGG is reffering to to, the fUR on both screenshots is non-existent in terms of purpose, best to use the template Non-free media rationale and fill in the blanks, eg: File:Freelance Police screenshot.jpg. Salavat (talk) 02:32, 12 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Since no one seemed to want to address the problem, I did so myself.--(NGG) 22:16, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
  2. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    The main problem with this article are the images. Once all these problems are addressed. I will pass the article. You have 5 days to do so or I will fail the article.--(NGG) 01:40, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
UPDATE:: Failing due to lack of response to review and still unsourced material.--(NGG) 04:17, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
