GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   In the Reception section instead of saying "XYZsite said that...", list the person who made said review, such as "John Doe from XYZsite said that...". That puts the onus on the reviewer rather than the website.

   Good. MuZemike 20:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

   (for future reference) Also remember (I corrected it for you) that we use the third person ("the player", "players", or "they" but not "he or she") and not the second person ("you"). Also avoid using words like "however", "although", or any other common words to avoid or weasel words that may suggest partiality or original research. You may also want to look at WP:PUNC at the proper way to use quotations, more specifically that if the quotation is not a sentence of its own, then the end quotation mark precedes the end punctuation.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   Well-referenced and from good reliable sources.

   Fixed the cn issues. Nergaal (talk) 03:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   Can you provide more references in the Plot section? The second paragraph and most of the first paragraph is completely unsourced. Can you provide some source or that, even if primary (we need to make sure that we're not engagine in any original research here)? MuZemike 06:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   I've added a link to a respectable walkthrough. Nergaal (talk) 07:26, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   Good. MuZemike 20:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   The Reception section could be expanded just a little more. Can you go into more detail on those reviews or try to find other reviews elsewhere?

   Added one more para. Nergaal (talk) 03:15, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   You could make those three inconsistent-length paragraphs into two consistently-longer-length paragraphs. Try and see if you can do that. If you can add anything else in there, please do so; I'll be around to make sure it's verifiable, well-written, and within the MoS. MuZemike 06:07, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   3 para: compiled reviews + individual reviews + awards; what's wrong with this split? Nergaal (talk) 07:28, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   Looks better, now. MuZemike 20:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   File:The Elder Scrolls IV-Shivering Isles-gate.jpg does not have a fair-use rationale. Please add a fair-use rationale (see WP:VG/I) and show specifically how it increases the readers' understanding of the game. Also remember, per WP:CAPTION, if the caption is a sentence fragment (i.e. not a complete sentence), then there is to be no end punctuation used.

   how is it now? Nergaal (talk) 01:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   Looks much better. MuZemike 06:07, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

   That image still needs a fair-use rationale. See other images in other Good Articles for examples on how to make a good fair-use rationale. MuZemike 20:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

   Never mind, I see it. Normally, the fair-use rationale goes above the licensing. Looks good. MuZemike 20:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Placed GAN on hold pending improvements made above. Let me know if you have any questions. MuZemike 23:16, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

   Everything looks good enough. Passed. MuZemike 20:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
