GA Review[edit]

Article (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch

I'm a huge fan of the Call of Duty series, so this should be fun.

  • The lead should be longer, to better summarize the entire article. For instance, there is little to no information in there about the reception.
  • Italicize video game and series names, such as in "of the Call of Duty series,[3] features" and in "other Call of Duty series".
  • Some paragraphs do not have citations, such as the "When playing Wii version" one.
  • "Other versions" makes it seem like the Wii, PC, and Xbox 360 versions are the "main" ones, which unless there's a reference supporting that, I don't think this should be implied.

Overall, the article needs to be copyedited; the following are only examples.

  • "first announced on December 2, 2007 and June 6, 2008" – Two dates?
  • "(Treyarch also used this engine for Quantum of Solace)." – Not really a useful fact; I suggest removing it.
  • "Not long after Treyarch" – needs a comma
  • "They can be downloaded on many different sites." – This can be compacted into a single clause, like "which can be downloaded online" or "which can be downloaded from websites", etc.

Again, every point above is only an example; the article needs to be thoroughly copyedited. Gary King (talk) 19:07, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • With regards to the Nintendo DS and Playstion 2 version, should I split them off into seperate articles and remove their plots from this article? Jolly Ω Janner 16:14, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I don't really know what to do with them; leave them here for now, as I'd rather not see each created as separated articles unnecessarily. Gary King (talk) 16:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Fall" is a discouraged term per WP:MOS as the time it takes place is different depending on which atmosphere you live in. Perhaps "late 2008".
  • "all of the"
  • "hey had earlier worked together " – "hey had worked together earlier "

Just a few more examples that this article needs a copyedit. Gary King (talk) 17:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, i am completely new to wikipedia and it won't let me make changes. i want to put a "updates" section explaing the various patches and online updates (just got one on the wii) and it won't let me ughh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Yodaman626 (talk • contribs) 21:45, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Any updates? Gary King (talk) 16:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Are you refering to the post above by Yodaman626 regarding the game's updates or updates to the article itself? Jolly Ω Janner 16:30, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This review; is there any progress with the article? It still needs a copyedit. Gary King (talk) 16:59, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have copy edited the gameplay section, as well as all the points you raised above. Except for one, which I have individualy commented on. I will continue to copy edit the rest of it. I believe all paragraphs now have an inline citation. Jolly Ω Janner 17:04, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article's structure still needs work. There are a few relatively small paragraphs that could be merged together. The Reception section should have each paragraph focusing on a different aspect of the game, not on different reviews. This article doesn't pass GAN yet, so please continue working on it. When it's ready, feel free to renominate it. Gary King (talk) 16:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
