List of songs in the Guitar Hero On Tour series edit

Nominator(s): MASEM (t)
Toolbox

This is a slightly different approach from the other GH lists. First a bit of article history: originally each of the Guitar Hero On Tour games had their own article with each article having its own embedded track list, but given how similar the games were to each other, it was determined that the best course of future action was to merge the games into one list, and the track lists into another. This is further a benefit since these games allow "sharing" of songs between them in competitive play so effectively this is a list of songs that any of these games can play to a degree. To note, both of the original game articles were WP:GA but I'm restarting the quality process for this.

I will note that the Modern Hits list is not yet complete and when that list will be complete or if it will have the same issue with regional setlists, however, I can promise that whatever it ends up being, it will follow the same general format (years and tiering lists), so I hope that is not an issue in terms of "stability".

Comments from Dabomb87 (talk · contribs)
  • "this unit is incompatible with the Nintendo DSi at the present time." "at the present time" is a DATED statement and is redundant anyway through the use of the present tense.
  • "with a third title, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits to be published in mid-2009."-->and a third title, Guitar Hero On Tour: Modern Hits will be published in mid-2009.
  • "The games utilize the DS's local wireless features to allow two players to compete against each other, including through different versions of the game, allowing the songs to be shared between games during play." Eliminate the "allowing" repetition; sharing games and versus mode are a bit too different ideas to be separated in a sentence with a comma.
  • "Twenty are exclusive to this version of Guitar Hero while the remaining six songs have previously been used within the series. " "previously" is redundant, and "within" can be simplified to "in".
  • This sentence doesn't make sense: "Game Informer stated that the songs ... and makes some of the songs not "exciting to play"." I also think it would make the quote stronger if you could include "not" inside the quoted material, if possible.
  • "IGN commended that the track list was" Surely you mean "commented"?
  • I don't really like the 90% font size. It makes the tables unnecessarily smaller and creates potential accessibility problems for our readers with sight problems.
  • Only the first word of the header titles should be capitalized, e.g., "North American Version"-->North American version
  • Why are some dates in the references linked while others aren't (otherwise, sources look good)?
  • Check the toolbox, there are a couple dab links. Dabomb87 (talk) 23:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • All issues should be fixed. --MASEM (t) 16:35, 1 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I think this page really needs an image. Could you add an image of the guitar controllers, or at the least a band with multiple songs in the game? -- Scorpion0422 21:02, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've added a free image of the Guitar Grip for the game series. --MASEM (t) 21:37, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Would it be possible to standardize the look a bit? I mean, the first list has those huge green/yes and red/no tabs, but they aren't on the second one. I get that the songs on the second one are all masters, so the tabs don't apply, but maybe you could remove the colors from the first one? It would make scrolling down the article a lot less jarring. If it isn't possible (as in, embedded into the template), I understand. I'm not going to support or oppose either way, since my knowledge of FLCs is zilch; I just saw your comment on the Wikiproject:Video games talk page and decided to drop by.

    • The colors are there to keep consistent with the other Guitar Hero lists, which were suggested during their own review back when (see List of songs in Guitar Hero II). They could be removed, but again, I'm trying to keep consistent across lists. --MASEM (t) 22:21, 9 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
