Initial comments

  • It is possible that there is copyright violation in the article. Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported 48% in similarity. Will analyse this in depth later in the review. See below.
  • There are no cleanup banners, such as those listed at WP:QF, in the article.
  • The article is stable.
  • No previous GA reviews.

General comments

[edit]
  • Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
    • No issues were found in the lede.
    • The rest of the article also looks good. I did not find any grammar errors.
  • Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
  • Checking refs, verifiability, and whether there is original research.
    • References section with a {{reflist}} template is present in the article.
    • No referencing issues.
    • Listed references are reliable. Good job on archiving the refs.
    • Spotchecked Ref 2, 3, 6, 8, 10, 13, 19, 23–all verify the cited content. AGF on other citations.
    • Checking potential copyvio.
      • Seems to be a false positive. It picked up the quotes that are in text.
  • Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
    • For a cancelled game, this is a well-researched article.
    • When was Interplay acquired by Titus Interactive?
    • The article stays on the topic.
  • Checking whether the article is presented from an NPOV standpoint.
    • The article meets the criteria and is written in encyclopedic language.
  • Checking whether the article is stable.
    • As noted in the initial comments, the article has been stable.

    • All looks to be good.

Final comments

[edit]

@Famous Hobo: There are only a couple of minor issues that need to be addressed. Other than that, the article is in a good shape. I'll put the review on hold for a week. Once the issues get addressed, I'll promote the article. --Vacant0 (talkcontribs) 13:05, 2 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vacant0: Hi there! Thank you for taking on this review. I added alt text to the four images and provided the year when Titus acquired Interplay. Regarding the lede, I combined the second and third paragraphs and cut out the bit about Bethesda amending the lawsuit to preclude the use of any materials from the Fallout series. I wasn't sure if that part was necessary to mention in the lede. Famous Hobo (talk) 05:57, 4 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
