Write-up

Yeah this write-up is pretty bad. But I'm not going to do anything about it. Ha ha. - 61.9.204.168

I'll fix this up later, though I don't think it'll be much of an article after that.

I butchered the article down to what's actually useful. Will try to build it back up again soon. --SeizureDog 00:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

It does need something about co-op mode. I'd say put the trivia back, too. I agree the lists of levels, weapons, etc were unnecessary. Ace of Sevens 02:14, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I added back some of the info, but did some rewrites as well. At the least, the stuff is placeholder info. Feel free to remove any (or all) of it during the rewrite. --Polkapunk 16:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I think there should be a bit about critical reception.

Done. Needs to be cleaned up like the rest of it, but it's there.--SeizureDog 13:43, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Deleted images and japanese pronuntiation

I removed some screenshots that warp the article. Also I deleted the japanese pronuntiation in the first paragraph because it's not important for an american game.--A. Dupin (talk) 22:02, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

One more time, why the japanese name of the game? JFG was developed and created by a british company.--A. Dupin (talk) 19:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Location list

Please keep the location list out of the article. It's an un-encyclopedic list and Wikipedia is not a game guide.--SeizureDog 03:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

I contend that the list is encyclopedic, based on this predicent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planets_in_science_fiction#Computer_and_video_games --Eldarone 15:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Doesn't change the fact that there is active work to phase location lists, and other types of "crufty" lists, out of video game articles. And while I find that Planets in science fiction to be rather inane, half of the reason why we have those kinds of lists is to keep them out of the individual articles.--SeizureDog 15:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Fine, it will have be modified to be not a list, but rather a descritption. --Eldarone 17:46, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not mentioned that Juno and Vela's ship was the last in the fleet and we also see many ships of the same class flying around Earth at the end of the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.89.64.194 (talk) 11:53, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Uncited material

The Reception section says the game was controversial, yet no references are given. If this continues, then it has to be eliminated. --201.210.60.104 (talk) 04:32, 17 April 2009 (UTC) I came back, and the situation didn't change a wee bit. I will eliminate that portion of info. --186.14.102.80 (talk) 00:31, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:Jet Force Gemini/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

Reviewer: Tezero (talk) 17:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC) GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

1. Is it well written?

   A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:

   Please fix the following things:

• "Jet Force Gemini is a third-person shooter that combines a mixture of classic shoot 'em up style gameplay in a free three dimensional environment." - Sounds a little awkward, you usually combine something and something, not a mixture of something in something.
• "spaceship pieces that would allow the player to get to the final stage." - I think you should remove "would".
• "in the "skeptical military world"; And Lupos, Jet Force Gemini's wardog mascot, which is always seen by the sides of Juno and Vela and has proven himself to be a beneficial companion." - Start a new sentence for Lupos. Also, what do you mean he is "seen by the sides of Juno and Vela"? Is he seen as a beneficial companion? Please rewrite this.
• "even Stargate - it was" - Change the "-" to a "–", even if that's how he originally put it.
• "the team, along with King Jeff, reassemble" - Should be "reassembles"
• "the team was out of options" - Keep consistent tense.

1. B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

   Remaining nitpicky things that aren't quite in the realm of grammar:

• "The control scheme introduced unique techniques that have never been seen since." - Never been seen since in what? Any Rare game? Any N64 game? Any game? Any game with twins? Please specify.
• "as the player can hang from most ledges, swim and occasionally fly using Jet packs." - Are you only able to fly occasionally, or do you only need to fly occasionally?
• "Most of the doors open automatically, but some can occasionally need a special action to be unlocked." - Please remove "can occasionally", unless you mean that there is a small number of doors that only sometimes need a special action.

1. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?

   A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

   If you are going to pursue further qualifications, you should probably get some more print sources. Magazine reviews, you know.

   B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):

   C. It contains no original research:

   D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:

2. Is it broad in its coverage?

   A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:

   B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):

3. Is it neutral?

   It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:

4. Is it stable?

   It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:

5. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?

   A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:

   B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:

6. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

   Please fix the writing issues I mentioned. Looks good otherwise. Tezero (talk) 17:25, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing the article so quickly. I've fixed the issues you listed. I will see if I can get some print sources, though it will be hard because information on this game is fairly sparse, so I don't promise you anything. Anyway, if there is anything else that I should know, please let me now. <--Niwi3 (talk) 20:38, 07 March 2011 (CET)

Looks good. Time to pass it. Tezero (talk) 03:31, 8 March 2011 (UTC)

Lupos?

I've always thought the dog's name was Lupus (after the constellation). If you watch videos of it, it clearly says Lupus and the Official Japanese website linked from the article says Lupus (after translation). Unless there are objections, I'll amend it. NevilleHope (talk) 00:12, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

My bad. I will fix it. Thanks. Niwi3 (talk) 09:03, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

A-Class assessment

I am requesting an A-class assessment of this article. It looks perfect to me and I'd like to take it to FAC soon-SCB '92 (talk) 17:55, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Closing this due to lack of responses. GamerPro64 18:51, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
