Comments edit

  • Very much close paraphrasing
  • Most part of the article is unsourced. Like "Basic setting and overview" section, "Comparison with other war games", "Gameplay" etc.
  • Citation needed tags present
  • A lot of single line paras. Try to avoid them as per WP:PARAGRAPH. Eg- "Alternative way to play" section etc.
  • Multiple MoS issues like citations in lead (WP:CITELEAD).
  • Grammatical issues also present, such as usage of unnecessary commas, lack of articles, determiners etc. This can be sorted out in WP:GOCE
  • Citations aren't properly formatted. Some of them are just naked links.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be renominated. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to have it reassessed. Also I would suggest to have this article copyedited at WP:GOCE. Thank you for your work so far.  Saha ❯❯❯ Stay safe  09:37, 25 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
