I'm going to maintain the current Start- class rating, but here's some pointers to improve the article, I don't think its too far off B- class. Make sure the lead section summarises everything that follows it. See WP: LS. The gameplay section is too long.

Fragile Allegiance is an open-ended 4X real-time strategy (RTS) game from Gremlin Interactive, released in 1996 for MS-DOS and Windows 95. The game begins on May 25.
Get rid of the sub- headings in the section, and try to summarise the gameplay of the game as briefly as possible: three or four paragraphs should do it. Make sure to get it referenced: you can use primary sources like the game manual and official site here, although secondary sources from reviews and the like are preferable. Don't do a direct quote from the manual like that for the plot section. Describe what is in the manual's description in your own words, referencing it to the manual. Quoting it out in such a manner could be taken as copyright infringement. The end point in the plot section about statistics isn't well written, or seemingly relevant to the plot. If it is notable, move it to the gameplay section.
The soundtrack doesn't need a full section simply for a single statement. Expand the section's prose and add track listings or simply move the single sentence into the article's introduction. Is there any development information?
If so, add a section for it and merge the compatibility section into it. You need to get that compatibility information referenced as well, avoid original research and cite it to a secondary source. Redo the critical reception section in full prose, taking reviews and discussing the reception of various elements of the game, comparing different reactions on key points. That can help establish what is notable for inclusion in the gameplay section. In addition, if you want to add the scores for various reviews, use {{VG Reviews}} to accomodate them in a tidy fashion. The external links section should come after the references.
Plus, make sure that the external links included comply with external links policy. The Game. Spot one isn't really necessary as its already used as a reference, while the Moby. Games one should only be included if it contains information beyond this article that isn't appropriate in an encyclopedic context but would still be useful to a reader. See the example articles over at WP: VG for ideas of what to do.
Rating Start- class, Low importance. Sabre (talk) 1. 7: 1. March 2. 00. 8 (UTC)I've updated the article taking all of this into consideration although I can't seem to find any development info regarding this game.
Any more ideas on how to improve this article would be greatly appreciated. Archangel Lucifer (talk) 0. March 2. 00. 8 (UTC). A lot of the original points Sabre pointed out are still needing to be looked into.
To really give things in a nutshell, you should do the following. Critical Response would probably be best named as Reception, and really could use that VG Reviews template mentioned above.
Additionally the section could use a minor rewrite: the info is a little jumbled. Development can include game marketing, packaging, bug fixes with patches by a company etc. That might give you a bit more room to work with. Avoid "Many people" in statements, it gets treated as a weasel word even if justified. Try just "Players" and it should give the same result. The sentences there can easily be developed a bit more to pad the section and make it a little less jumbled.
Try to sprinkle some more references in there. You reference the manual just once for example: usually with game articles you'll see it cited at least multiple times. Basically read through the article and ask yourself as you go "is there anything here that looks like it could be contested?"Hope that helps. It's still at start for now, but if you can address these issues and improve it give me a shout and I'll take a look at reassessing it. Kung Fu Man (talk) 1. March 2. 00. 8 (UTC)The article is certainly taking form, I'm upping the rating to B- class.
A lot of the prose is in place, just give it a run through to remove weasel words and give it a good copy edit to ensure the text flows. The other main issue is the references. I understand that its an older game and is unlikely to have as extensive coverage as later games online, but any additional references to help verify various points throughout would certainly not go amiss. One last thing is the use of flags in the infoboxes.
These shouldn't be used. Take a look at some of the high quality VG articles for how release dates in the infobox should be done. Other than that, I'd consider the good article nomination process, that should be able to give you some more specific points for improvement.
One final issue, the images are a bit too large (8. Ensure they're of a lower resolution (I personally go for a width of 5. Resizing with Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro should be able to deal with that. Sabre (talk) 1. 7: 1.
March 2. 00. 8 (UTC)Running on Vista and XP[edit]I've changed "will" to "may" in the comment about it crashing on XP when you load a saved game, as I have been running it for hours (saving and loading) without crashes using Dos. Box. I've had the same experiance with Windows Vista, and added a comment to that effect. The problem is I can't place a citation for this, however I clearly KNOW that the current cited information is incorrect.
I've also found that it has trouble with multiplayer but this may be more of a Dos. Box issue that anything else, but the only citation for this would be again my experiance and forum messages. QU4. N7. 1FY (talk) 2. April 2. 00. 8 (UTC)Thanks for confirmation that the game works on Windows Vista using DOSBox, as I have only used it on XP (and Win 9. I will have to search for a reference to confirm the fact.
I never said that the game will crash when loading a saved game in DOSBox as I also have been running the game for hours with saves and reloads but the game crashes every time I try to RENAME a saved game when running in DOSBox or XP. Renaming ships and asteroids work fine but not saved games. Many people have reported the same thing so I don't think that the current sourced information is incorrect. If you could try RENAMING one of your saved games while running in DOSBox and see if it crashes, that will tell you if the information is incorrect. Regarding multiplayer difficulties, I think it's more of a DOSBox problem than anything else but in all honesty I have never tried multiplayer. I've heard that it works for maybe a few hours before a de- sync is detected but all references to 'multiplayer issues' seem to come from people running the game in DOSBox.

April 2. 00. 8 (UTC)GA Review[edit]This review is transcluded from Talk: Fragile Allegiance/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. Reviewer: Robin 0. August 2. 01. 1 (UTC) I have started the review. So far it looks good.
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)This looks good but lacks some minor details. It is reasonably well written. Mo. S for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): Contains some spelling mistakes. I may correct some of them. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
OR): mobygames is not a reliable resource as anyone can contribute it without their fact being checked. Also thecrypt is down or the article it was referencing to was deleted. It is broad in its coverage.
It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. Overall. Pass/Fail: the sources are not reliable and the article has numerous spelling mistakesso i think it can be promoted to GA status only if some of those minor changes (better sources, spellings) can be made. Robin 0. 6: 2. 2, 6 August 2. UTC)Thanks for starting the review so soon, I have removed 3 of the 4 moby games references, however the remaining one references many of the scores used in the "Reception" section of the article and I have been unable to find such a comprehensive collection of scores anywhere else.
The information for that reference has been unchanged since the creation of this article nearly 4 years ago. Is it ok to keep that one? Also, I have gone through the article looking for spelling mistakes and the only possible mistake I can find is changing "criticized" to "criticised". Other words such as "colonise" and "unaurthorised" are spelled correctly in Australian English.
The word "megacorporation" is printed in the games instruction manual as a single word and not "mega corporation" and wikipedia also has a page entitled megacorporation. The words "gameplay", "multiplayer", "mortalities" and "hardpoint" are all real words and spelled correctly as far as I can tell. Scoutship" is what the game describes its smallest ship as, not "Scout ship" so I think that's correct. The other words that come up are "Tetracorp", "Mauna", "Sci- Tek" and the names of the various alien races encountered in the game which are spelled as they appear in game so I don't think they need changing. I think that covers it all. What's your view on the words that need correcting? I apologise for such a lengthy comment and hope I have addressed all of your concerns for promoting this article to GA status.
If any more changes need to be made, there are still a few more days to go before the deadline for nomination is reached so I won't modify any spelling until I hear back from you. Archangel Lucifer (talk) 0. August 2. 01. 1 (UTC)I agree that the tool I use has proven inaccurate.
It only gave me the number of spellings which are incorrect but not the words themselves. From what you wrote it seems that the spelling mistakes I was talking about were not mistakes at all. As for the mobygames source. Wikipedia will not consider it a reliable source and even if I accept it, it will not be long before someone else delists the article because of the sources.
