[edit] Kingdom Hearts II

This article is another self-nomination. I believe it is FA quality. I've been fixing up this article as well as the KH article, which is now featured status, for a few days now and I think it is ready for FA. Any comments or objections? Good luck Greg Jones II 19:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Support - A great amount of references. Comprehensive coverage. Proper fair use rationales. This article should pass.◙◙◙ I M Kmarinas86 U O 2¢ ◙◙◙ 05:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Support only tried this game (the only KH I really played is also a FAC), but after over 7000 revisions the article is great, very detailed. igordebraga ≠ 21:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong support It's an excellent article. --A cool night green owl 12:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • This nomination is now halted for a peer review at Wikipedia:Peer review/Kingdom Hearts II/archive1. Greg Jones II 23:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
    • It's okay. The nomination can continue. Axem Titanium 21:19, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment—Not too badly written, but could do with a massage by a new copy-editor. In the lead, "the second best selling game of 2006" is ambiguous without a hyphen, isn't it? Why is 2007 linked? "this game featured"—present tense better? "... over a million copies in its first week of availability." Yuck to the final two words. Then "One month following its North American release,.."—release is better, or launch, but just "after" rather than "following". "As of December 2006, Kingdom Hearts II has shipped ..." No, "HAD". There's a lot of "over". Try "more than" sometimes, or it's tedious. The whole article needs a little work. Tony 07:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose-Some references should be in the {{cite video game}} format. Dalejenkins | The Apprentice (UK)'s FA plea-please have your say! 11:03, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
These issues will be fixed up ASAP. Greg Jones II 12:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Currently every quote from the game uses the cite video game tag. The quote was placed in front of the tag instead of inside it using the quote parameter. (Guyinblack25 talk 14:22, 1 August 2007 (UTC))
  • Oppose. The gameplay section of this article features game guide content prohibited by WP:NOT and WP:VG/GL. Information like "Both Drive Forms and Summons have a maximum of seven levels; higher levels allow Drive Forms and Summons to last longer." is incredibly specific game guide type info that should be restated more generally or removed altogether. Andre (talk) 10:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
We will fix this issue up ASAP before nomination can continue. Greg Jones II 15:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
The above mentioned sentence has been rewritten. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:21, 4 August 2007 (UTC))
I move to Neutral. Not enough to oppose, but this article doesn't feel like an FA to me. Andre (talk) 04:35, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

And it is almost time to have our third Kingdom Hearts FA. Is any other issues left so far? Greg Jones II 19:56, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Support - Excellent article. DSachan 02:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Support The article meets all the criteria and the issues mentioned by Dalejenkins and Andrevan above have been fully addressed. Kariteh 09:00, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Good luck, everyone. Greg Jones II 11:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC) (may the Force be with you...)
  • Support, I've finished my copyedit and all the above issues have been addressed. Axem Titanium 15:21, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Small Comment: Who's Kairi? I don't remember reading about her in the Characters sub-section.--Dark Kubrick 11:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
    • You're right. I've made sure that the characters section properly explains who each of the people mentioned in the "story" section are. Axem Titanium 13:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose MOS violation with seasonal reference: summer of 2003. This should be replaced by neutral wording per MOS. -- B.D.Mills  (T, C) 02:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
    • The offending sentence has been changed. Do you have any other suggestions? Axem Titanium 03:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
      • Fix is good, it makes the article more precise. I have no other objections. -- B.D.Mills  (T, C) 03:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)


And it is time to have our third Kingdom Hearts FA. Greg Jones II 18:47, 14 August 2007 (UTC) (may the force be with you...)
