To-do list for Dead Rising (video game): edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2016-07-16
- Lead
- Extend lead section. It should be about three paragraphs for the current size of the article, two for the size if the other comments in this assessment are worked upon.
Done
- The prose of the lead section is not good to the point of unreadable. It may need a rewrite or a check by a native speaker of English.
Done
- Infobox
- Contains the qualifier "(for frequent bloody violence)" with the BBFC. This needs a source.
Done
- Inline external link (in Japanese) to the engine. Either write a Wikipedia stub, or have no link at all.
- Gameplay
- Remove Gaming jargon. This is a common problem, and can be solved by checking the section for jargon specifically. Examples include "unlocking", "in-game", "usable" (consider just deleting this word wherever it is used), "boss battle", "unlocked", "stat", *# As the abbreviation PP is not used much, consider not introducing it and then not using it at all.
- Some qualifications are made without sources. Who called cooking food a "strategy element"? Who are the "many gamers" that are frustrated with the saving system? Finally, this section could use a good copy edit.
- Storyline
- Too detailed. Cutting it down to about three paragraphs is advised, with one for the overtime plot. The section on alternate endings is nice and informative.
Done
- The information on the characters and storyline is scattered throughout the article. Onyett's comment about Frank West would've been very informative when I read about him earlier, but instead I got to read the unsourced qualification that he's "overly zealous". Merging all information on the character together in about three-four long paragraphs would be a good idea.
- Development
- The product placement section needs removal of the link and sourcing.
Done
- Merging Technical Issues and Downloadable Content with Development is standard practice,
Done
- The soundtrack needs to be somewhere that's not a one line section too.
Done
- Reception
- Reads that Capcom is currently giving away surveys. How current is that? Source? It may be contradicted by the last sentence of the section, too.
Done
- "A point of contention among many fans" needs a source and is a weasel word. Perhaps removing the "many fans" would just do. I am well aware of the fact that appearing in CAD, VGCats and SA means that it's a notable controversy. (I somehow missed that CAD episode, too, so thanks to the editor for linking it.)
- Otherwise ok.
- Sources need author, accessdate, date, and other information. See the {{cite web}} template.
Done
