Mother (video game)

edit

Improved to Good Article status by Czar (talk). Self nominated at 06:56, 25 October 2014 (UTC).

Although the history is hard to discern (confused the heck out of DYK Check), length, cites and all the hooks and QPQ check out. Of the options I strongly prefer the first and alt 1, so I would recommend:

I have removed this hook from the queue, as it is incorrect. I have explained this at WT:DYK#Mixing proposed hooks isn't always a good idea. Fram (talk) 08:51, 7 November 2014 (UTC)

@Fram, to be clear, you're talking about ALT4, right? The original hooks should be fine czar  12:50, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Yes, Alt4, the one that was used, is not correct, so this is pulled and needs a new review. Fram (talk) 12:54, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
Another fine example of people complaining about problems rather than fixing them. It would have taking you less time to fix and/or select another hook than it did for you write an entire section on the problem in another article. Sheesh. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:49, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
Good idea, one person removing a hook, selecting another, and moving that to the queue directly. Why don't we get rid of this multiple layer review system completely? As long as we have a list of infallible people like me, nothing can go wrong! Please enlighten me, what has your complaint about "people complaining about problems rather than fixing them" actually fixed? If you hadn't proposed an incorrect hook and then checkmarked your own hook, we wouldn't be here. To then come and complain because you feel that someone else not only has to find your errors, but clean up after you as well, is seriously worrying. Next time, either propose a hook (preferably a correct one), or review someone elses hook critically. Or do neither, but don't do both the proposal and the review.

Holy crap, talk about adding fuel to the fire. Just propose a solution already! ALT3, go. Maury Markowitz (talk) 14:09, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
