• Comment: Three different reliable publications called Dark of the Moon "disappointing" when thinking back to the game, and they were comparing it directly to the upcoming title.

• The remark of "disappointing" is not neutral, and there's not enough room in a DYK to explain that. The fact that critics felt that way is irrelevant and biased in this case since we can't expand on it. --Teancum (talk) 03:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Is the original DYK acceptable? I added two more, perhaps they are better? Also, if we ignore the opinions of critics then articles would be unable to say that anything created was ever bad. --Odie5533 (talk) 04:21, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

I can see the original, ALT3 and ALT4 being doable, but ALT1 and ALT2's problem is that they'd need a source to back up that claim, and you can't do that on a DYK. I know the Dark of the Moon game was bad, but it's also unnecessary to get the point across. It makes it seem like an attack on that game. --Teancum (talk) 10:16, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

I personally like ALT3 the best (I reworded it slightly). I added another as well. If none of these are acceptable please let me know. --Odie5533 (talk) 10:34, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

That works for me. --Teancum (talk) 00:34, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my nomination. --Odie5533 (talk) 01:48, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
