I am nominating this featured article for review because its referencing and comprehensive problems. Throughout the entire article, there are multiple Citation Needed templates and unreferenced sections on the page. As well, there are sections in the article that need expanding, like the ones found in the Form section. GamerPro64 15:31, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

• Holy Haiku! Many bullet type lists that should be in prose. Referencing and citations are unacceptable. Many citations only point towards a "see also" type of source and intentionally or not this is original research. Page numbers needed. Table of contents unacceptable. Too long and in some cases an entire section holds one sentence. Brad (talk) 11:53, 24 November 2011 (UTC)
• When this article had a FAR in 2007 the structure was much better. Since then it's done nothing but go downhill. Just a thought in case work ever begins. Brad (talk) 22:22, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

It looks like Nikki has done a huge amount of cleanup on this article over the past week or so. Could we get some updated thoughts GamerPro, Brad and anyone else who's interested? Dana boomer (talk) 00:56, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Have to admit, the article looks a lot better than its previous version before the review. I am not certain that its referencing problem is fully fixed as the last paragraphs in some of the sub-sections of the Genre section are missing some. GamerPro64 01:10, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Honestly, I'm not sure those need citations - they're examples, and seem for the most part rather uncontroversial ones. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:32, 15 December 2011 (UTC)

Comment Citations [1] and [124] have broken ISBNs; there is a span tag present in each but I'm not sure why it's there. Citation [3] contains a passim. There are also citations which end in a period after the page number/s and some that do not. Brad (talk) 19:28, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

No FARC All looks well. Brad (talk) 23:26, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

• No FARC - Per Brad. GamerPro64 22:04, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
