- Hi! You have stated link 50 doesn't work. I tryed to open it, and it works....--193.111.221.60 (talk) 14:23, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- At last for me it redirects to the front page. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Double checked. The problem persists. External link checker (see the toolbox at the top of the page) agrees with me, BTW. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:39, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
I didn't tag the Plot section, as right now I would have to tag every sentence. Instead I'll wait until it gets at least somehow referenced first. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:37, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Just chiming in to say that plot references are typically recommended but not obligatory for VG articles. The issue has been hashed over many a time on the WP:VG talk page, and that's been the consensus. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 07:36, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
I would also note that I didn't really check for WP:MoS issues yet. Same goes for WP:OR check, which is postponed until the issues with the referencing are solved. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 14:42, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi! Well, this is the link that should open, because it opens to me.....http://www.slidetoplay.com/story/broken-sword-directors-cut-review..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.111.221.60 (talk) 15:55, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- This one works. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Well, then the source on the article should also work! :) --193.111.221.60 (talk) 16:50, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- This one works. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:07, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, and. please help, I don't know how to reduce the size of the Infobox
Done
BTW, "100% Sound blaster compatible audio card" - these 100% are taken from somewhere? — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 10:40, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi! I don't how George is not attributed as a fictional character.... I am sorry, I don't say that you're wrong, just that I'm quite new to Wikipedia..... :-) --193.111.221.60 (talk) 20:50, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- Now he definitely is. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:27, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

Amazing work was done in a fairly short time frame (in Wikipedia terms). Just one issue (1p1) keeps me from passing this article right now. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 22:44, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hi again! What I want to say is, that I don't know how to fix the fictionaly atrributed issue.... So, I hope that someone could help me with it, because, like I stated before, this actually my FIRST article I worked on, otherwise I just made small edits.... :) - Oh, plus, I know deleted the "you" out of the quotations in to "players", so now that issue can be marked as Done.... :)--193.111.221.60 (talk) 13:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- If adding fictional infront of George Stobbart solves the problem, I did it. I will put it on Awaiting, because You're the one who should decide if it's Done. I know this is probably not how it has to be fixed, but I really don't know how to fix it... So can You/Somebody please help me solve this final issue? --193.111.221.60 (talk) 16:57, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
