This article has a lack of citations throughout the section "Project Freelancer" and "Music" which fails 1c. I've posted on the discussion on the article's talk page, but no one hasn't respond and improved it. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 09:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The "Filming" section is terrible. I'm seeing a lot of first person ("we"), informal tone with contractions, and overall bad writing (e.g. "recently"). Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 13:05, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
When it was originally promoted, there were only four seasons of the show and now it's on its tenth. (The version that was promoted: [2]). It'll take a lot of work to get back up to speed, if I have time I'll try and flesh it out a bit. Nomader (talk) 16:33, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll take a look tonight. My expectation is that the entire article needs to be refreshed, as their production techniques are no longer-machinima based with the amount of custom CG they do. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 18:03, 7 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  - I've started (we're talking barely started) a list of resources in my userspace here that could be used to improve the article. I'll see what I can do... but as I've only ever worked on FLs and GAs, if I end up editing this heavily someone else should really take a strong magnifying glass to it and look over my changes.

  - Just a note: I discovered Red vs. Blue production while searching for sources and I have to agree with the tag at the top of the page; it would really appear not to meet WP:GNG and is mostly just longer and worse written parts of the actual article. The actual article doesn't even link to it. Nomader (talk) 03:12, 9 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

FARC commentary[edit]

Featured article criteria brought up as issues in the review section include referencing, coverage and prose. Dana boomer (talk) 17:06, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delist. No work has been done since I've started the FAR myself, plus I see little changes, however, maintenance tags, prose and referencing, not significant enough to address the concerns. JJ98 (Talk / Contribs) 09:42, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist I copy edited the section tagged for it, but it still has multiple unsourced sections, which is a clear deal-breaker for maintaining FA status. —Torchiest ^talk_edits 14:29, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - Agree with the concerns by Torchiest and Jj98, no work has been done and there are multiple unsourced sections as well. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 16:49, 22 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist, no evidence that any work has been done. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 02:16, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - Per what has already been said. GamerPro64 15:18, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delist - Only work besides superficial edits has been an edit war(?) and vandalism/vandalism reverting. Zappa O Mati 23:40, 3 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
