Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel
[edit]- ... that Mad Max 2's Gyro Captain Bruce Spence will, again, play a gyrocopter pilot in the Australian-developed Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel?
- ALT1:... that in honor of its Australian development team, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel will include a cricket-themed side mission?
- ALT2:... that the next installment in a video game series inspired by Mad Max, will be fittingly developed by Australians?

New (9th), long enough, "within policy", no copyvio found via spotcheck (no tool), QPQ done. There is a bit of excessive quoting here—stuff that is better off paraphrased (just a note since it's outside the scope of my review). Also the end-paragraph multiple footnotes make it very hard to verify the content. That aside, the stuff in the hook needs to have immediate refs in article (see 3b). Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔ 18:07, 12 April 2014 (UTC)
- The required fixes have been performed. Please review again. ViperSnake151 Talk 00:10, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Verifying the hook, the source says Mad Max and not Mad Max 2, so not sure where that's from. Also the "predominantly" part needs a cite (unless you remove that one word). Rephrased ALT2 czar ♔ 00:32, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
- Czar, it looks like some edits were done about an hour after you posted the above, though not mentioned here as they should have been. Do they solve the issues with Max? Have any subsequent edits helped, or at least not hurt? Thanks for taking another look at this. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:41, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- Haven't reviewed all edits since, but my above points haven't been fixed. I personally get the difference between the original and the sequel, but the source doesn't say Mad Max 2 or imply it. The prose would have to reference the series as a whole (as the interview itself did). ViperSnake151? czar ♔ 04:47, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

(←) The source says Mad Max, not the sequel. It needs to be updated in the prose and the hook. czar ♔ 01:25, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- No I mean, the one that just says that Bruce Spence is in it? ViperSnake151 Talk 03:19, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
- Right, so to approve that one, each of the hook's parts need to be sourced in the article with direct, inline refs. When I go to check that Mad Max 2 is in the referenced source, the source mentions only Mad Max (not 2), so the article and hook need to be updated accordingly czar ♔ 03:22, 6 May 2014 (UTC)
