Article review
It has been a while since this article has been reviewed, so I took a look at it and noticed the following:
- There are some uncited statements, including entire paragraphs. While none of the paragraphs in "Story" need to be cited per WP:PLOTCITE, the "StarCraft II" paragraphs probably do need citations. There are also uncited statements at the end of some paragraphs (and I can add citation needed templates to those places if anyone is interested).
- There are lots of one-sentence pargaraphs that should be merged with other content.
- The plot summaries might be too long. Right now the plot section is over 1500 words, while WP:VG/CONTENT recommends a maximum of 700 words. I do not think every game and expansion needs as much information as present in the article about its plot.
- The "Sales" section seems to be outdated and underdeveloped.
- The "Starcraft" section in "Music" seems to be underdeveloped.
Should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 18:27, 10 May 2025 (UTC)
