Cleanup etc. still needed edit

  • Red links are bad, but it seems like the ones I made should either have their own article or be defined better within the text of this article. (battlechip and attack point really need to be defined better in the article). For example, this sentence "Throughout the game, the player may construct their own deck consisting of 30 battle chips." could use another sentence describing what a "deck" in this game means. People who are not familiar with the game might be clueless.
  • Lots of ideas in the article could be expanded on with more information.
  • External links section couldn't hurt.
  • Need a better closing sentence for the introductory paragraph of the article.
  • A couple screenshots would REALLY brighten up the page as well.



Also, in this sentence: "B) The player deletes all opponents" from the Gameplay section, should "deletes" be "defeats?" I don't know this kind of thing because I've never played any megaman games, I'm just trying to help cleanup CVG articles :)

I'm sure there is more, but anyone feel free to work on that list please! :) --Naha|(talk) July 9, 2005 05:05 (UTC)

Curiosity, but is there a reason that a Chip List has been started? While it is valid information, it isn't particularly pertinent to the game. An Encyclopedia cannot be exhaustive, after all. Thought 20:37, 5 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Beg to differ edit

Also In Battle Network 7 there is no X code so there for this is NOT the on;y game that did not feture all the letters in the english alpibet( still cant spell).8th sinn

There is no official EXE7, just a fan game that isn't canon. -Sukecchi 18:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sorry!!! I Mean Battle Network 6( and five for that matter).

I remember that one of the games's publisher is Ubisoft... edit

As said before the title screen shows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.99.49.78 (talk) 00:59, 23 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Wily important figure... edit

It says that "This organization is led by Dr. Wily, the primary villain in the original series and an important figure in both the X and Zero series." Wily isn't an important figure in the Zero series and in fact he isn't mentioned at all... Dr. Weil however is an important figure in the Zero series. I'm going to delete the and Zero series part for now because of the aforementioned reason. Zsaberslash (talk) 18:55, 20 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

This section is supposed to be edited only by reviewer(s).

Rate Attribute Review Comment
1. Well-written:
  1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.
  1. The wording "the internet (or Net)" (first paragraph of the Plot section) should be probably simplified to "the Net".   Done
  2. In the wording "as though they were physical locations" (same pararaph) the word "though" should be probably replaced with "if".   Done
  3. The word "avatar" should be wikilinked.   Done
  4. The wording "During the final confrontation with the WWW" (second paragraph of the Plot section) requires explanation: who was confronting WWW?   Done
  5. The wording "Lan's scientist father" (same paragraph) should be simplified to "Lan's father".   Done
  6. The sentence "Lan had a twin brother, Hub, who died at a young age." (same paragraph) feels disconnected from the text before and after it.   Done
  7. The phrase "Dr. Hikari was able to essentially transfer him into a computer program to become the NetNavi MegaMan" (same paragraph) is grammatically incorrect.  Done
  8. The charecter "MegaMan" is referred to both as "MegaMan" and "MegaMan.EXE". The article should stick with one of these forms (probably the latter, as it seems to be correct).   Done
  9. One entry of "the grid" in sentences "The battlefield itself is a grid made up of 18 tiles. The grid is further divided" (first paragraph of Gameplay section) should be replaced.   Done
  10. The italicized part of the sentence "The grid is further divided into two groups of nine, one being space in which MegaMan may move and the other controlled by the enemy and in which MegaMan cannot usefully move." should be rephrased to explain usefulness of MegaMan.EXE's moves issue. Alternatively it can be trimmed.   Done
  11. I don't understand the wording "supportive actions such as healing or destroying movement tiles" (italics added) from the second paragraph of Gameplay section.   Done
  1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.
  1. The works and publishers (eg. IGN) in references should be wikilinked when possible.   Done
  2. When authors are unknown, they shouldn't be replaced with placeholders like "stuff", etc.
2. Verifiable with no original research:
  2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.
  1. The works shouldn't be specified as publishers (per WP:CS1 § Work and publisher).   Done
  2b. 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).
  2c. it contains no original research.
3. Broad in its coverage:
  3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.
  3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).
  4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.
  5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
  6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.
  6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.
  7. Overall assessment.

More to follow.

Discussion edit

Please place your questions, comments and progress reports here. It seems my comment 1b2 was somehow misleading. The idea was that the "author", "first", "last", "developer" and similar fields per WP:CS1 § Work and publisher should not be filled if they duplicate the "publisher". Even more uncomfortable I feel about the fact that I wasn't supposed to require this (not checked per WP:GACR). Thus I dismiss this issue.

The article looks good to me now, but I would like to give it a fresh look tomorrow. Hope I'll be able to pass it right away.

Merge without discussion? edit

I noticed that the page for Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star was merged, but there hadn't seemed to have been a discussion about it. Can anyone confirm this? Shadowboxer2005 (talk) 08:39, 2 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
