Assessment

edit
  1. The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary.  Y
    It has reliable sources, and any important or controversial material which is likely to be challenged is cited. The use of citation templates such as {{cite web}} is not required, but the use of <ref></ref> tags is encouraged. Y
  2. The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies. N
    It contains a large proportion of the material necessary for an A-Class article, although some sections may need expansion, and some less important topics may be missing. N
  3. The article has a defined structure.  N
    Content should be organized into groups of related material, including a lead section and all the sections that can reasonably be included in an article of its kind. Y
  4. The article is reasonably well-written.  Y
    The prose contains no major grammatical errors and flows sensibly, but it certainly need not be "brilliant". The Manual of Style need not be followed rigorously. Y
  5. The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.  Y
    Illustrations are encouraged, though not required. Diagrams and an infobox etc. should be included where they are relevant and useful to the content. Y
  6. The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way.  Y
    It is written with as broad an audience in mind as possible. Although Wikipedia is more than just a general encyclopedia, the article should not assume unnecessary technical background and technical terms should be explained or avoided where possible. Y

Overall it's a good write-up, but the need for expansion will probably take longer than a week or two to hit B-class. Holding at C-Class, Mid-Importance for now.

  • The article focuses solely on current-gen consoles, however exclusivity has been around for several years.
  • It feels disjointed. A 'history' section is definitely needed here, as there is little background for the topic.
  • Down the road the list of [x] platform games links might be better suited as an infobox with exclusives listed per-platform

Thanks, I will get digging for some cites to cover a history, and non-current gen content. They proved illusive the first time around but I am sure there will be some good ones buried somewhere. As for the list articles, perhaps a group effort at WP:VG might help, I will probably raise that in the future. --Taelus (talk) 00:29, 20 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
