• Not a full review. The #Characters and #Bin Bots sections are unreferenced, and two references are WP:Bare URLs. Chris857 (talk) 00:49, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

• I'd consider the characters and bin bots section to be about the plot of the game, which usually doesn't require references. In regards to the bare urls, I don't see any specific rule against them, but despite this, the guide does say they are not allowed. Regardless, I fixed the bare urls. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:03, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

In their current state, the #Characters and #Bin Bots sections do need references. I'm thinking particularly of statements such as "The most known..." and "There should be more coming soon". A general copyedit is needed too. Moswento ^talky 21:43, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

• I deleted the two offending sections. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:17, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

• Looks good; citation style is inconsistant but I don't think that's a criteria for DYK. I prefer ALT3 but any of them could work. Maybe wikilink video game as well. Focus (talk) 04:00, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I like any of the hooks I wrote, so I'll leave them for the promoter to decide, though ALT3 is fine. I linked video game. --Odie5533 (talk) 12:55, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
