[edit] Endings

What happens when both endings are won? What occurs in the ending where the bad guys win? Add to article. Just an idea.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.241.103.43 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 1 May 2006 (UTC).

[edit] CVG Assessment

This is in regards to your request at the CVG Assessment page. I have examined the article, and am keeping it at Start-class. A few tips on getting it to B-Class or higher-

1. Everything from "Playable Characters" through "Mini-games" needs to be removed. Just take it out. Then, rewrite the playable characters into a short paragraph saying who is in the game, though not their taunts or such.

• I did that for you. FictionH 00:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• No you didn't. That had already been done a long time ago. What you did was completely vandilise the page.
• What the hell?! I did what he said, take out Playable Characters and re-write them without saying anything about them, damn it! FictionH 23:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
• Did you not read the date that had been written? Did you also not read the way the article was written BEFORE that was posted? Obviously not. The playable characters section had already been completely re-written, so your 'efforts' were uncalled for. Besides, it isn't fair on Bash. Check dates before editing/vandalising. That's what I've always been told.
• That doesn't matter. Crash Bash only has 8 playable characters, none of them showing any personality in-game and differing only in abilities. Devoting an entire encyclopedia section to something that belongs in a game guide on GameFaqs is nothing short of utter fanboy nonsense. There's two of us and one of you, and please sign your posts using the four tildes from now on. And one last thing: Is this any way to behave? Let's assume good faith here and solve the problem in a civilized, Wikipedian manner. Thank you. Cat's Tuxedo 20:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
• Then it is not fair on Bash, as the Team Racing, Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing articles are all set out in an identical way and nobody complains about them. Heck, all the other games have a similar set-up, regardless of genre, but no one complains about them. FictionH edited something that had already been adjusted, and didn't need further adjustment. There may be two of you, but you two obviously don't like Bash. Treat it like the other games, why don't you? Also, may I point out that FictionH has been known to vandalise other pages before. There is nothing wrong with the article as it stands, and removing the basic descriptions will give NO information whatsoever. Also, how is it like a Game-Guide? It doesn't even tell you what they do. (P.S. What's the point of putting my sig? I'm only acting as a guest, so there isn't a point)
• Hum. Then I'm going to have to check up on those other pages later. And on the contrary, I happen to be a Crash Bandicoot fan myself, but I think that the perfection of Wikipedia is more important than my own personal interests. Plus, FictionH has said on his talk page that he shares his account with his son, who is most likely a human child and is therefore more likely to vandalise Wikipedia for a cheap laugh. Conclusively, it might not be FictionH himself commiting all those vandalisms. And one more thing, the reason why we sign our sigs here is so that the conversation will be less confusing to people who visit this talk page and use it as reference for future edits. Thank you.

• Either way, I still think it is beneficial. I did remove the 'pointless' trivia section mind. 80.47.211.67 21:28, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

1. Expand the Reception section. Take that list of scores and throw it into a table (See Final Fantasy VIII for a good table format to use), and then throw in some quotes from those reviews, saying what they felt about the game, what they liked, didn't like, etc. Also expand the soundtrack section if you can.

1. Try to convert the list in the "Gameplay" section to prose.

1. And the big one, find references. the Reception section is an easy one to get references for, but also try to reference other things in the article as well.

For more advice, check out the CVG GA's. There aren't any part game GAs, so you can be liberal in applying what they did, but you should be able to get some idea of what this article should look like. --PresN 18:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
