What's Yours is Mine
Isn't this also the catchphrase for Thief?-- Brainy J  ~ ✿  ~ ( talk ) 18:26, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Draft
I'm going to be working on this article for the next few days. I'll start it off at User:Anarchyte/Monaco and when it's ready for mainspace, I'll request someone to histmerge it into this article.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   12:13, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

Free use images
Are you planning to contact the dev for images? I'd be happy to do it if you prefer—just let me know czar  09:25, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Already done. There's a press kit with some very nice images that I'd like to use, but I can't see any declaration of copyright-freeness (that's not a word, is it) / Creative Commons licensing. I emailed them yesterday so I don't expect a response from them for a few days.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   09:27, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Godspeed czar  09:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Good news! I got an email back from Andy and he updated the press kit pages to include the CC license. . I'll upload the files tonight (~8 hours), would you be able to license review them?  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   22:24, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Nice! I should but if I'm not around, someone else will get to them (when you batch upload, just add the license review tag to duplicate across all the uploads). Might want to ask for the video too (use video2commons) czar  22:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I've uploaded the majority of them, there are a few ones which I don't think will be any use on Wikipedia (the wallpapers and emoticons). Check out the Commons category for all the files. I didn't know how to mass-add the license tag so unless you can't do it now, I'm not going to bother putting it on all the images. You can delete File:Monaco game cover.png due to there being a better version on Commons, too.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   06:56, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * ✓ done. When you're in the last phase up the Upload Wizard and are tweaking the individual details for each photo, there is an option to use the first file as a model for the rest. One of the fields that can be duplicated is something like other/misc. and that's where you would put the template to have it automatically copied to the appropriate section of each item in the batch.  czar  08:39, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've finished writing the bulk of the article but should I take it to peer review for a bit before I consider GAN? It'll give time for WP:GOCE to get around to copyediting it and it'll give Andy more time to respond to the email. Also, how would I go about making a collage of the character silhouettes? I'll upload the individual ones to Commons now.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   08:51, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

I'd take it straight to GAN. What kind of collage did you have in mind? You can either combine each component image into a larger image file (be sure to credit the origins of each component image in the upload's description) or you can use multiple image czar  08:57, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * I just finished uploading them. I want to create a 4x2 of all the characters, I'll take a look at multiple image but I've never used it before.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   09:16, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Where are the characters released on the press kit page? I don't see the images there. For an example of the template, I put one in Kameo recently. You don't have to worry about the sizes/proportions if all the images are squares. czar  21:49, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * You need to download the .zip of images to find them.  Anarchyte  ( work  &#124;  talk )   22:20, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * (The "source" fields for those images should say so—it will help other people verify in the future. Also it's worth converting the bare URL to titled, in case the bare URL ever goes dead.) czar  00:56, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * License review done czar  06:44, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

I've attempted using multiple images and it seems to have worked. One question is it possible, and if so, how do I either remove the white line between each column or add a white line between each row?  Anarchyte <font color="#000"> ( work  &#124;  talk )   08:40, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * In other templates, yes, but apparently not in this one. Template talk:Multiple image/Archive 2 czar  09:01, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Soundtrack
WPVG consensus is to only include tracklists when the soundtrack has some notability of its own. I'd recommend rolling the soundtrack into the dev section unless, of course, there is sourcing to add. czar 21:47, 6 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The majority of the reviewers mention and praise the soundtrack. I’ve also found and, which only talk about the soundtrack. Do you think that’d be enough or should I merge it? <font face="Papyrus"> Anarchyte  <font color="#000"> ( work  &#124;  talk )   01:41, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Those two sources look good. That reviewers mention the soundtrack isn't much on its own, but its the separate articles that do the trick. The idea is that there needs to be some substance to require a separate section for the music, and if there's enough that discusses the details of the soundtrack, then it might be worth adding a track listing. The fair use version of its cover isn't necessary though—it's a repeat of the main game's cover and doesn't justify the fair use rationale. czar  06:22, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The album cover isn't a repeat of the normal game cover. It says "What's Yours Is Mine" and then beneath that it says "Austin Wintory". <font face="Papyrus"> Anarchyte <font color="#000"> ( work  &#124;  talk )   07:15, 7 July 2016 (UTC)

Review template
The use of 17 review scores in the reviews table is excessive. There used to exist guidance (strangely, I can't find it) that 5 to 6 review scores is usually satisfactory, that any more than 10 was generally superfluous, and that only publications used in the body should be included in the table. Multiple score that hover around the mean (in this case, between 7.5 and 8.5/10) add little for the reader. I'm surprised this wasn't broached during FAC but am certain that the number of reviews should be trimmed down, ideally to no more than 10. —  CR 4 ZE (T &bull; C)  02:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)


 * I removed 11 reviews from the table not being used in the Reception prose. From the template guidelines: "Every single-site review source should be used within the reception section: The reviews table supports the text. It is not to replicate the function of external review aggregators." —  CR 4 ZE (T &bull; C)  14:05, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
