I've listed this article for peer review because I need advices in how to improve the article. I know that the article needs copy-edit but I am unable to make it. My concerns are if some character could be joined or something else.

This is based on a cursory look.
Layout

  • For the team section: instead of listing out every character of each team, lump them together in prose form.

Prose

  • Avoid lingo. "Seiyu" is nothing more than the Japanese word for "voice actors".
  • Get a copyeditor. The reception section needs some smoothing over. The sentences are quite disjointed and mechanical. The feel is like "A is for apple. B is for boy. C is for cat..." with the "IGN praised .... Gamespot praised.... GameSpy criticized ...."
  • Quote exactly. GameSpy said "stupid-hard", not "stupid hard".

Sources

  • IMDb is not a reliable source.
  • Insertcredit.com is not a reliable source especially with this sort of statement.

Image

  • The image needs a more detailed rationale than "To show a large number of fictional characters at once". Refer to this dispatch.

That is all. Jappalang (talk) 04:44, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. A little question, what source should be used for the voices? IMDb is the only one I have seenTintor2 (talk) 14:19, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Unless they are notable (not talking of Wikipedia notability standards here) voice actors or the circumstances of their hiring are notable, why should they be listed? (We could go on about WP:IINFO or WP:NCC, but a point is why should who-voicing-who matter to a general reader who never even heard of them.) Usually if the circumstances are notable, there would be mentions in secondary sources that are reliable. Failing that, press releases from the company, information from the official websites, or credits from the game could do (those are primary sources which could be used to verify information but not help to establish notability of the article).
