Easy verification: The hook can be verified from this line in the Development section: The publisher said the purchase was fueled by the success of the 2008 Rambo film and by the scheduled release of the action film Expendables 2, starring Sylvester Stallone.
  • - Length, Date, & Cite all check out (couldn't find the "easy verification" paragraph, but the inline cite does the trick anyways). Best, Mifter (talk) 05:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Close paraphrasing issues in at least one place: "to the develop and release a number of titles based on the" is identical except for an interpolated "the" with its source. In addition, three of the seven refs have inaccurate titles and dates, including access dates that are from before when the articles are actually dated. I also don't understand why an article would reprint a claim that the game was expected to be out in 2012 without making it clear that the game was currently scheduled to be released later, and to give a source for that later date—as it is, the infobox says 2013 without any sourcing. These issues need to be addressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:31, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
  •  Partly done I fixed most of the problems here. The one thing I could not fix is the release date; I added some more information on it and removed the date from the infobox, but I could not find a source that gives a more accurate estimate. --Odie5533 (talk) 02:30, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
  • Close paraphrasing issue has been successfully resolved, refs have been fixed, and release information has been clarified in a reasonable fashion, even if an actual release date does not seem to be currently available. The only thing I can see is missing is an inline source that carries the explicit information that The Expendables 2 does indeed star Sylvester Stallone. The source given mentions the movie, but not specifically that it's a Stallone vehicle, just that it's an action movie. An extra citation tying Stallone to Expendables 2 should be easy enough to find, and in this case it is needed. Once you have that, this should be ready to go again. —BlueMoonset (talk) 05:18, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
  • All set; final inline sourcee has been added. Many thanks! BlueMoonset (talk) 15:25, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
