Don't Copy That Floppy
Like to make a run at FA with this ... needs Peer Review first... is there anything else this article should contain? ALKIVAR &trade; 00:30, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Right now, this is what really jumpsout at me:
 * I really don't think spoiler warning are needed ;-)
 * Well I'm not sure its needed either, but MoS says to use one when describing a video's content.
 * It's not a movie or tv series, but rather a advertisment, IMHO. At any rates, a endspoilers would be nice.


 * Needs sections and inine citations
 * There are no direct quotations used, no inline cites are therefore needed. Sections I could understand, but I dont see where it should be broken.
 * see criterion 2(c) of What is a featured article. FAC will not let you get away with such an argument.
 * Clearly you looked right past the "REFERENCES" section of the article ;)  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 09:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * However, the games the video chooses as examples: The Oregon Trail, Tetris and the Where is Carmen Sandiego? series; were among the most successful and largest selling educational games of the late-1980s to mid-1990s. I don,t get the point of this "However".
 * Re-read the paragraph this sentance is a rebuttal to the lead in sentance of the paragraph: "The point of the video is the message that software piracy will cause the computer and video game industry to lose profit, resulting in halted production of further computer games."
 * I still don't get what makes it contradictory. If tey are popular, obviously they would be the most copied, wouldn't they?

 * Who designed the campaign? What was the impact, if any?
 * Uhm... who designed the campaign is stated quite clearly in the 2nd sentance of the article :)
 * e.g. which publicist.
 * The SPA, the CREATOR of the product IS A PUBLICIST, and acted so for this production. This is stated in the second sentance ""Don't Copy That Floppy" was an anti-software piracy ad campaign run by the Software Publishers Association (SPA). emphasis mine  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 09:18, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

forgive the interspersed responses, easier to rebut that way. ALKIVAR &trade; 01:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Maybe you could state how long the ad is. --Fritz Saalfeld (Talk) 10:48, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It has a run time of 9 mins 38 seconds... I dont see how that fact really matters to the article though.  ALKIVAR &trade;[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 09:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The article appears to be on the short side. Information on how was the campaign received by it's intended audience would be worthy of inclusion. -- Longhair 05:02, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
