FASA was a good article nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There are suggestions below for improving the article. Once these are addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. Reviewed version: October 12, 2006

[edit] GA failed

1. Well written? OK (except the lead part)

2. Factually accurate? Fail (needs more references)

3. Broad in coverage? OK

4. Neutral point of view? Pass

5. Article stability? Pass

6. Images? OK

Additional comments :

• Lead section is too long (See WP:LEAD) and adds original material/new material not talked through the article.
• Not enough references.
• The Games published by FASA included: section should be renamed to something like Published games or FASA games.
• In this Games published by FASA included: section one would wish to find a description of every games.
• Since most of the wikilinked articles are redlinks, there should be some explanation of the redlink-words to help the reader.
• Under the new commercial direction and with the Mort's capital injection, the company diversified into books and miniature figures. is not well prosed.
• Instead of writing figures or miniature figures shouldn't they be figurines like in Warhammer games or D&D games?
• I seriously doubt the article is broad enough.
• If one has time maybe adding a picture or two would help the article too even if they are well-described fair use pictures.
