# It does not have screenshots in the [[1942/Walkthrough|walkthrough]]. While screenshots won't contribute much since it's a such a straightforward game ("shoot everything that isn't you") it's simply not acceptable for a featured guide. Once some suitable screenshots are included I would support its promotion. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 18:17, 28 May 2008 (CDT)

*There needs to be some pictures on the [[1942/Walkthrough|walkthrough]] page if at all possible.  I figure it can be tough to find images for an arcade game.  There's a bit of whitspace (at least on 1280x800 resolution) next to both tables on that page.  Also, I wonder if it's possible to add a bit more information on the "home versions" page to clean up some of the white space there too?  Otherwise the guide is very well written.  I'll stick myself on undecided until I hear some other comments (mine are a bit nitpicky).--'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 07:53, 27 May 2008 (CDT)

# There are no images in the walkthrough whatsoever, which is a requirement for a featured guide. Also, looking through the walkthrough I could understand it, but it needs to go more in-depth in all the areas, and optional expansions should go into a {{t|sidebar}} entry to denote that it is optional and also make it stand out a bit more. A few other things I noticed is that it makes no use of the control images in the walkthrough (the control selector template can allow them to toggle to their preferred method of playing) and that there is no special marking of rare scans that you cannot come back later and get. I could probably find a few more things, but that covers it pretty well for the moment. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig3}} 18:15, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
# In addition to all of Skizzerz comments, which I agree with, there are a number of pages that need to be merged into one page.  Specifically, most of the pages at the bottom of the TOC should be merged into one page named according to the header of that column.  [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 18:40, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
# I'm very impressed with the guide!  However, I have to agree with the above two, especially about the images. --'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 21:31, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
# Yeah it's an awesome guide, and it's also been blogged about!  It just needs some merging (seems to be the current focus), and what I've seen, minor revisions (proof reading from as many people as possible plus things like footer navs). {{unsigned|Notmyhandle}}

* So, instead of having X list here and there, there should be one good list, such as the Weapons? So, it's still young for it to be a featured guide. After reading, you can delete. [[User:Totlmstr|Totlmstr]] 21:56, 5 May 2008 (CDT)
** Yes, keep one good list all in one location. You can link to it from elsewhere, but having one list is not only easier to update, but it requires less load time and searching for the reader. --{{User:Ryan Schmidt/sig3}} 18:42, 6 May 2008 (CDT)
***About the images...what am I supposed to do for this and other DS guides? Theres no realistic way to get screens for the walkthrough. Wouldn't that mean that no DS game can realistically become a featured guide?:-P [[User:0-172|Lunar Knight]] <sup>([[User talk:0-172|Talk to me]] + [[Special:Contributions/0-172|Contribs]])</sup> 17:10, 7 May 2008 (CDT)

*Well, it was a long hard struggle, but the guide is finally done. Lots of details, images, and diagrams, organized images; the works. Contains a full walkthrough, secrets, as well as level details, and complete magic, item, enemy, equipment, and weapon lists. There really isn't anything else that I can add at this point, so here it is. - [[User:Koweja|Koweja]] 20:10, 6 March 2008 (CST)
*I really don't like the black background on the maps, which I feel distracts the eye a bit too much, but that's not a major enough change to hold back the guide. As for the rest of the guide I would have put the item icons before the text (which is closer to how they are displayed in the game) and standardised the spacing between the text and icons, but that's a minor issue. Other than that it's all very nice. [[User:Garrett|Garrett]]<sup>[[User talk:Garrett|Talk]]</sup> 23:05, 10 April 2008 (CDT)
:*The item icons before the names would be an easy fix I believe since it's all done through a template (anyone want to debate one way or the other?) -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 15:19, 11 April 2008 (CDT)
::*{{t|CotMitem}} and {{t|CotMpowerup}} are the templates. I don't have any personal preference as to what side the images should go on. - [[User:Koweja|Koweja]] ([[User_talk:Koweja|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Koweja|Contributions]]) 23:50, 11 April 2008 (CDT)
*The "toc" on [[Castlevania: Circle of the Moon/Bosses]] is too wide and overflows into the sidebar.  Are all those links really necessary? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 20:38, 10 May 2008 (CDT)
*It's been over two months since the nomination and it is currently unopposed...  Think we can go ahead and promote it now?--'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 13:04, 21 May 2008 (CDT)
**Indeed, it is time. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 16:54, 21 May 2008 (CDT)
***Have the issues pointed out above been addressed? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 17:14, 21 May 2008 (CDT)
****The icon templates look like they are working well.  --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 18:07, 21 May 2008 (CDT)
*****There has been no agreement over whether the icons should be before or after the text (and it hasn't been changed one way or the other).  That bosses toc is also far too wide on 1024x768 (which is by far our most common resolution).  So I would say it is not yet ready for cs5. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|Talk]]) 18:18, 21 May 2008 (CDT)
******I personally think the icons on the left looks fine.  I can't really comment about the bosses page because it seems fine in my resolution...  The only problem I'm seeing now is that a few of the pages are rather long, like the DSS page DrBob mentioned.  Is there a way to cut that down a bit so it isn't so daunting to read?--'''[[User:Dukeruckley|<font color="blue">Duke</font><font color="red">Ruckley</font>]]<sup><small>[[User_talk:Dukeruckley|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Dukeruckley|Contribs]]</small></sup>''' 08:02, 27 May 2008 (CDT)
*******Hmm, didn't even think to check the old Boss's TOC at a smaller resolution. I don't really like the automatic TOC either since the list is so long. I'll see what I can do about making a much shorter custom TOC. It doesn't really need links to each of the 5 strategies for each boss. As for the DSS page, the only thing that I can think to do is to break it into 10 different pages. - [[User:Koweja|Koweja]] ([[User_talk:Koweja|Talk]] <nowiki>|</nowiki> [[Special:Contributions/Koweja|Contributions]]) 15:58, 28 May 2008 (CDT)
