Devil May Cry 2
Recently, I've done a lot of work on the Devil May Cry 2 page, and I'm currently trying to get it to Featured Article status. Right now the Gameplay section does require a bit of sourcing (something I'm in the process of working on), but overall I'm fairly proud of the work I've done. It'd help if I could get a few eyes on the article to help me identify the problems I'm blind to because I've been working it so long.

To summarize my changes:


 * Added a lot of sourcing
 * Added a section on the Diesel clothing cross-promotion
 * Added a Gameplay section
 * Added a Plot Summary section
 * Cleaned up the Reaction section

Thanks in advance.

 * References go after punctuation, .[10], not [10].
 * There are too many one sentence paragraphs, try merge them with others
 * Images need fair use rationales. M3tal H3ad 07:17, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

 * The lead of this article may be too long, or may contain too many paragraphs. Please follow guidelines at WP:LEAD; be aware that the lead should adequately summarize the article.[?]
 * Consider adding more links to the article; per Manual of Style (links) and Build the web, create links to relevant articles.[?]
 * Per Wikipedia:Context and Build the web, years with full dates should be linked; for example, link January 15, 2006.[?]
 * As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.[?]
 * There are a few occurrences of weasel words in this article- please observe WP:AWT. Certain phrases should specify exactly who supports, considers, believes, etc., such a view.
 * is considered
 * might be weasel words, and should be provided with proper citations (if they already do, or are not weasel terms, please strike this comment).[?]
 * Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
 * Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant - “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “ All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
 * Avoid using contractions like: doesn't, Don't, Don't.
 * As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
 * Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

This is a good start, but a fair amount of work is still required. It needs a thorough copyedit: the 4 paragraphs in the lead could easily be condensed to 2. The majority of the article isn't wikilinked. The Gameplay subsection is largely unreferenced, while the Plot subsection had too many notes (it isn't necessary to include so much of the dialogue). Reaction subsection is mostly good, although the cites could do with formatting (go to Template:Cite and choose the correct one for the source in question). It also seems to be written too much in-universe (see WP:WAF), try to find sources that have commented on the gameplay of it. A section on Development would be good too. Look at articles like Final Fantasy X or Shadow of the Colossus for ideas. Trebor 16:56, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
