thread_title:  Coming out dates? 

message: Before I continue with this assessment, please do not take any offence at any of my critiques - I am trying to help you make the article better.
===Citations===
My main issues have to do with your usage of citations, they need some cleanup:
# There is a bad citation in the list that has no text Fixed
# The citations could be filled out better, they lack author and date of the cited article. Fixed
# Quotes from the game without a traceable source do not appear to be valid citations. They have no source, primary or secondary and cannot readily be verified so I cannot really tell if your description of the story is accurate or not (WP:IS policy).
My suggestion would be to quote a published cheat guide for the game for any storylines, it is verifiable when you use the  tag. With out proper citations on the Story section, that part appears to be a violation of the WP:NOR guidelines.
===Other issues===
Just one:
# There are at least two red Wikilinks. I fixed those for you by deleting the internal references.
===The Good===
# The article has no WP:NPOV violations;
# It has good grammar, punctuation and spelling;
# It meets the WP:Note policy in my opinion;
# The text does well on avoiding WP:Jargon;
# The images all have fair use rationale.
I will put a seven day hold on your request so you can fix the issues.

thread_title: The Good

message: # I have looked over the fixes you did and they look good, but I still have some issues with the use of Primary sources in the Story section. I have asked for a second opinion on them just to make sure.
# I also looked at the images and they all have a fair use rationale, so that is good.
# Please add the |author= and |date= tags to your  references, I looked at many of them and the information is in the articles on several of the pages including IGN, Gamespot and Gamespy.
Otherwise this is looking good.

thread_title: hmmmmm

message: The back of the game box says that it has mild language yet the only word I've seen in the game is "hell" which is in the move Hellfire Footstomp. Is there something I'm missing and should this be mentioned in the article? --Coconutfred73 00:23, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Coco Bandicoot: "That name sucks!" Even if that was the only mild language in the game, it's not notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. Besides, this just became a Good Article, so we shouldn't be tarnishing it with trivial details. Cat's Tuxedo 01:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Question

message: Whoever's trying to add a filthy Trivia section, stop. Trivia doesn't belong on Wikipedia or any encyclopedia on Earth, and you all know that. We've grown out of ordinary mascot game articles. This is a Good Article, so let's keep it that way. Cat's Tuxedo 22:59, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No we don't. The article already cites that there are numerous pop-culture references in the game; it would be redundant to cite each and every single one of them in the article. That's for Crash Mania. Cat's Tuxedo 00:03, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: At the moment, unfortunately, no, though Crash Bandicoot games are usually released in Japan during the wintertimes, so something should come up by now. Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 23:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:TitansCast.PNG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is  other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:TitansCast.PNG

message: Okay, I've copyedited the whole article. However, probably the most useful and substantial changes will come for concerns that I have that should be addressed by the main contributor, who I assume is someone familiar with the game. I'll have a list of concerns/issues by tomorrow. Ashnard Talk Contribs 18:43, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, let's take a look:
*"create an army of loyal mutants out of the inhabitants of the Wumpa Islands." This sheds no light on how this happens and leaves me confused. "out of"?
*"must stop Cortex's plot by". Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that he tries to stop Cortex himself, and not his plot?
*"Titans" are mentioned in the lead but not explained.
*"The game received fair reviews" Do you think "mixed" would be clearer than "fair".
*"the game's length was noted by critics". Too long; too short. Positive; negative. Means nothing.
*"from being destroyed by the main antagonist's Doominator weapon." Again, no point in introducing a term and then not explaining it. Strange to speak about the general premise of the game then use a specific like this in the sentence.
*I think it's very debatable to have a paragraph dedicated to health, especially when it contains the same generic concept in most platformers, but with game-specific variations.
*"using an enemy animal's attacks to snipe bombs,". Is meaningless unless explained further. Remove or explain.
*"the rank can be improved by defeating a set number of minions, destroying three "spy-toilets" or scoring a minimum combat hit combo." I personally wouldn't go into specifics regarding this. The concept can be established without this. I'd definitely remove the subsequent sentence.
*"This process is repeated until the game is won." What? Surely you don't mean this is how the game is completed. If so, the sentence is needless and questionable grammatically.
*"items that can be used to restore health, provide temporary invincibility, set off Nitro explosions, etc." You can only use et cetera on the assumption that the reader will know about other things. This would probably make sense for the first two items, but when the last is a subject-specific gameplay aspect, "etc" doesn't make sense.
*"Mojo jackpot.". Explain.
*"for Crash to defeat, larger enemies, known as "Titans", require more than that." Strange to end the sentence like this.
*"The meter rises when the Titan takes damage, and depletes when Crash stops attacking the Titan." Strange to mix passive and active regarding the same concept. 
*"form of a white-furred "Carbon Crash"." Don't have a clue what this is.
*Going through each location is quaetionable; best to talk about things generally. Everything within "plot" should be condensed.
*"evolved bandicoot" What's that supposed to mean in this context.
* For the third paragraph in "characters"m either delete it or do some major condensing to merge with the second paragraph.
*I'm not going to analyse the story too deeply. I'll just say this: try to cut it down and avoid the point-by-point style. Sentences like "Escaping from the collapsed Doominator, Cortex praises Nina for betraying him, and promises to be more evil in the near future, but proclaims that he is still going to spank Nina as punishment" are making this longer than it should be.
*For the "development" section, there;s no need to list all of the contents of the special edition.
*Clash of BrE and AmE: "criticized" and "dialogue".
*"including a nod to films such as" Watch out for informal phrasing. 
*"that it lacked the distinctive feel of past Crash Bandicoot games" Could you reword this? I'm unsure about "feel" being used like this.
*"GameSpy criticized the game for the same reason along with the unsteady framerate, but was more positive in their opinion, praising the game's attractive graphics and offline co-op mode". Hard to make sense of. Reword.
*I don't see any mention of the game's music in "Reception".
*Personally, I think that arranging these sections by pros and cons is just basic. I wouldn't mind, but I just think it's not appropriate for FA material. Some disagree with me, though.
*I don't see any point in listing which games the game lost the awards to. Surely if it's listed as a nominee, then it is to be assumed not to win.
;Sources
*Ref 60 is missing the date even though it's contained in the source.
*Ref 56 and 57 are missing publisher info.
*Ref 46 needs information on the date.
*Ref 36-40 needs information on the date.
*What's going on with ref 7?
*What makes ref 5 reliable?
Okay, I hope this helps. Ashnard Talk Contribs 17:48, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
