[edit] Halo 2

I basically got this up to GA, and it certainly was a learning experience... I certainly think its up for FA, but it of course depends on you. Be brutally honest! Dåvid Fuchs ^{(talk / frog blast the vent core!)} 01:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

• Support (obviously) Dåvid Fuchs ^{(talk / frog blast the vent core!)} 22:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose The article has {{fact}} in it. It also has external jumps in the body that I assume should be refs in {{cite web}} format. The Audio section is completely uncited, as is the Limited Collector's Edition section. Full dates should be properly linked. Jay32183 22:41, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment- sorry about the note cite-web format links, someone sneaked those in while I wasn't looking. I've cited some stuff in the audio and cleanup and cut down the respective sections; as for dates, I'm on it. EDIT - ok I don't see any issues with the dates. The full ones are properly linked according to WP:DATE, and the rest don't need links as they don't establish any more context.

    • I actually went ahead and formatted the dates after you demonstrated that you were willing to work on the citation issues. I'll review the article again when I get a chance to make sure nothing else needs to be cited. If anything else needs to be cited, I'll be sure to let you know. Jay32183 23:09, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose - Undeveloped reception section. Only one review is referenced, could do with a reviews snapshot as seen in other FAs such as Halo: Combat Evolved. The List of Awards seems completely arbitrary, who cares about what Gamefly, a games rental service awards it? You also shouldn't list things like trivial in-development E3 awards, which have no real qualifier on the quality of the game, although they could be mentioned in the development section. - hahnchen 21:18, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Aye aye. I copied and updated the Halo:CE table with Halo's awards, added roughly a new paragraph of copy into reviews with quotes. Dåvid Fuchs ^{(talk / frog blast the vent core!)} 23:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Some sections are still lacking. The development section barely touches on the development at all. - hahnchen 21:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I suppose it is... I've added some more, let me know if you think its moving in the right direction. Dåvid Fuchs ^{(talk / frog blast the vent core!)} 00:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

You do know that sales are part of the reception, not the development right? Development is the "Making of ...". Reception is the "Responce to ...". Jay32183 00:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

That would be why you're reviewing it :P my bad. Dåvid Fuchs ^{(talk / frog blast the vent core!)} 01:29, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
