Gundam: Battle Assault[edit]

I made an article for the series since I didn't find any info about it here. But I need help with the redirecting. Tell me what you think.AceWhatever 17:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm assumming that you want to push this all the way to FA if possible, so I'm going to be pretty hardcore about this.

To start with, just to hit GA, you'll need all of the games to be up to the size of G:TBM, and I recommend changing the name of the article to G:BA (series), as there's also a game by that name, in the series. Here's a good tip about the size- It looks ugly if the infobox for the game is longer than the game section. Try to make the boxes for the games not be touching each other.

Referencing- It needs it. You have none. For GA you can get away with a handful, a dozen or so, but FA? Nuh-uh. I personally look for 30-40 minimum, and I think the current record is Final Fantasy VII, currently at FAC, with a whopping 138 refferences. While that's a bit rediculous, you need to bump it up a bit. Shoot for 15 to start with. Look at the various FA CVG articles listed on the main page for tips on what to reference.

Packaging artwork - No. Fair use images are hit hard, especially in FA, and those aren't defensible. Also, they break up the page.

Lists- no. Having a list of characters is a pretty big no-no. Turn it into a prose paragraph, maybe describe what they are, where they're from- Universal Century, as I recall, covered a few shows, so say which ones they're from.

Were some of the games released only in Japan/only in NA? Say something about it. Also, replace (North America) and (Japan) with flags, but I'll do that myself once I'm done with this.

Say where the Gundams come from! Where is TallGeese III (for example) from? I personally know that TallGeese is from Gundam Wing, but hell if I know what III is from, and no one who didn't watch the show would even know that.

This PR looked lonely, hopefully this helps! --PresN 22:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the response. I'm still pretty new at this and it was my first article. I think I misused the peer review feature. I didn't think it was justfor nominations, but you make valid statements nontheless. As for the character list, I didn't think I needed to explain about each unit since there's a link to each one's respective article. But I should add links for the last four. I also aparently missed one more game in the series (it came out only in Japan) which I'll add later. Thanks again!AceWhatever 00:05, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, it's not just for nominations, you can use it for any article. I just decided to give you suggestions that would be applicable no matter how high it goes. They're good ideas, even if it never even gets nominated for GA or FA. You didn't misuse the PR feature, don't worry. --PresN 19:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
