Comments by Crimsonfox

[edit]

Overall it reads well and appears to cover everything, few nit picks on wording and some refs need fixing per below

Refs

  • #3 - No article date, name should be capitalised
  • #12 - Article title shouldn't have site name in
  • #18 - No article date (Optional: Not archived)
  • #20 - Needs all details
  • #21-23 - Remove site name from article name, no access date
  • #22-23 - No author, need to be distinguished from each other (Eg. Daytona USA - Review (PC))
  • #25-16 - Need formatting correctly
  • #46 - Name of the site is not the URL
  • #56 - No access date

Gameplay

  • The first sentence doesn't read very encyclopedia-like.
  • "introduced the possibility of linking " - Be more certain in your wording (Eg. "Up to eight cabinets can be linked to...")
  • "Sega originally planned to use actual car seats, but changed the seats before releasing the game" - Source needed

Development

  • The first three paragraphs have only once source at the end, which is fine, but can you confirm if they are for the whole paragraph?
  • First sentence doesn't read nicely
  • The comment in the image caption regarding the linking is unnecessary and is already mentioned in the Gameplay section
    • At the time of release, GE Aerospace was actually under Martin Marietta, so I don't quite follow why the older name is used here? Is it to accommodate the link to the Wikipedia article on GE Aerospace? F355fan talk 16:18, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reception & legacy

@Crimsonfox: other than ref #20, which I'm confused what you're looking for, all addressed. Red Phoenix talk 16:03, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Red Phoenix: Great work! Ref #20 that links to this article doesn't have a proper title, author, date, website etc. it's just "Archived copy" CrimsonFox talk 17:16, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, I see it now, haha. It doesn’t show up in VisualEditor because none of the refs in the review box do - #20 when VE is on was a Next Generation ref that was filled in. Anyway, filled in. Red Phoenix talk 19:45, 6 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Ah that would explain it, all done! Congrats! CrimsonFox talk 08:57, 7 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
