To-do list for Ratchet & Clank:
  • Add a couple screenshots
  • Have a complete storyline
  • Fix up weapon section or move it to the weapons and items page

Contents

[edit] Fixing up article.

Actually, I'm only fixing the plot, and I got some screenshots. Abby724 16:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Screenshot help?

For some reason, Ratchet_and_Clank_Gameplay.PNG‎ isn't showing up in the article when I put it up. Yes, I know how to put up images, but it's just not showing up. Abby724 17:04, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quotes section

I don't think a collection of funny quotes from the game is relevant for this article. I suggest they be moved to Wikiquote. —Metamorf 04:20, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reception

Parts of the "reception" section strike me as incredibly POV. I think a lot of those statements need to be removed unless they can be sourced. Objections? -- I agree --NLUT


Okay, replaced the "reception" section with a summary of what the game was praised and criticized for. Hopefully it's not quite as POV. 209.107.122.185 18:02, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To-Do List

I will add screenshots, but the plot seems pretty complete.--Titan 17:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup/Rearrange

I've made a big edit to the article to make in conform better to CVG standards.

Sections that currently need expanding:

  • Lead Section WP:LS
  • Gameplay (Not much but I think it can give a better overview of the more important aspects of play)
  • Development

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Blackwater City.jpg

Image:Blackwater City.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Weapons list

Before you post WP:GAMEGUIDE, hear me out.

This series' signature is its odd and memorable weapons. At least in this case, a lsit of weapon names and functions would be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.175.17.2 (talk) 15:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

There's no question about the game and/or series having notable weapons, but it's generally not the specifics of the weapons, just that they're all unique in function that earned the game's reputation. Listing all the weapons would still be excessive, but if there are reviews that single out specific weapons, that information can be included in the critical reception. (Also check Ratchet & Clank (series)'s general description of gameplay - there's a brief list of usual weapon types and the RYNO. --MASEM 16:05, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article

Someone should nominate this as a good article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.218.12.31 (talk) 00:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
