The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay[edit]

Before I begin, I will now do a year in review of the article. It recieved a huge overhule by Vantine84 (which I asked for) and failed its first GAN. Then, it got a VG Peer Review while passing its second GAN. Now that its second Peer Review, I think it passes the FA requirements. GamerPro64 (talk) 22:30, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Technical comments

  • No dab links or dead external links—good.
  • Alt text looks good. Not sure about the "multi-racial (Italian, African-American, et al)" part, but I'll leave that to others.
  • Dates appear to be consistent Month Day, Year in prose. The refs mix ISO style access dates and MM-DD-YYYY publish dates—I don't like MM-DD-YYYY, but at least it's consistently used.
  • I like the second pull quote. :)

  • I appreciate your comments, AnOddName. I knew the ALT text would cause a problem, so if someone else wants it to be changed, I'll do it. GamerPro64 (talk) 02:22, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I take responsibility for that strange line in the ALT text. It was hard to describe him, since "caucasian" really didn't fit; I decided to just go with what he's said about his heritage. If anyone knows a way to improve it, feel free. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 05:41, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments I still think the sources I found at the 2nd peer review would go a long way to improving aspects of the article, and I share some of Ealdgyth's concerns with sources, especially about.com. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 19:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • First off, when Vantine84 and I were still working together,this was the original link. But since there was no article on the website about who won, I found about.com. Second, I can't find your e-mail also. GamerPro64 (talk) 20:05, 19 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I specified in the PR, you need to send me an email first (there's no way to send attachments through the MediaWiki interface.) As for About.com, this RSN thread summarizes the general points: we need evidence that these people are experts in their fields, and even then there needs to be discretion about whether these sources, even if they meet WP:SPS, almost meet the "high quality" threshold.

I finally got one of your references you gave me on the article and will probably add more. GamerPro64 (talk) 03:56, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • I should add that when I first entered the info about the award, I did not mention who won because the article did not mention it. I had considered removing it after that because it was an MTV award anyways - like the Spike video game awards, there doesn't seem to be much respect in the video game community for "mass media" honors like these. If there were, we would have lots of articles from reliable sources about them and probably wouldn't be having this discussion. I recommend removing all mention of the MTV award. — Vantine84 (t – c) 13:28, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
