Re: Stars!
Well, I don't have too much experience with large article clean-ups, but I might have some suggestions. From what I can tell there are really two issues. First, the "Gameplay" section is too large. Secondly, the page seems to be broken up into too many sub-sections. I would recommend taking a look at some of the CVG featured articles, to see how most of them are put together and how big the "Gameplay" section is (specifically in proportion to the other sections).

Mostly it looks like you will want to do more research on other aspects of the game, which tends to be more challenging for the not-so-super-popular games. As you probably had in mind, adding more to a reception/reviews section is one option, and I'll see what I can dig up in my PCG for that. Aside from that, try removing some of the more detailed parts of the gameplay, focusing on what might interest a person who has never heard of the game before, and what sets it apart from other games. Instead of the detailed lists of racial traits, you'll want to summarize the information into more readable paragraphs. Remember, it's an encyclopedia article, not a manual or a strategy guide.

I wouldn't let all your hard work go to waste, though. Putting the information in its current form would probably be quite appropriate for a wiki like The Encyclopedia Gamia. I'd suggest adding the article there and adding a link to that from the wikipedia page.

Hope that helps, I'd also recommend reading the CVG article guidelines, though I suspect you already have. --ADeveria 19:23, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
