[edit] GA Review

The article is well-sourced and well-written. It would be nice if it was a bit longer, but oh well. One thing, some of the citations in the lead probably could be trimmed, because WP:LEAD says that citations aren't needed there if that thing is sourced in the main article. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:02, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the review. I really would love to make it longer with sourced material but I synthesized everything I could find on the game. I agree with you that in a traditional lead, one only needs citation where material appears that is not expanded on later in the article. However, for this subject the lead is the main body of the article (the information is not repeated) since there isn't enough information to make a separate lead. I suppose I could summarize the three lenghty paragraphs into one and make that a lead paragraph and place the existing opening under a section header labeled "history", but this seems redundant for an article of this length. Thanks again.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 23:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
