Article in Leonardo

While browsing for literature about historical computer games for a student assignment I came across an article in Leonardo from 2001 called "Does Lara Croft Wear Fake Polygons? Gender and Gender-Role Subversion in Computer Adventure Games" by Anne-Marie Schleiner. Seems like an interesting academic perspective on the character. I'll just add it to the article as "Further reading" so it doesn't disappear into the archives. It's accessible through JSTOR if anyone's interested.

Located a transcription of the article here.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 22:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Goodie. JSTOR is a wonderful resource, but acces to it is sorta biased towards the academic world. Images are not the same, but I assume the text is. It's a rather different perspective than what you find in most articles on video game characters, so it'll be fun to see what you VG regulars make of it. :-)

Assessment for B-Class

I have requested an assessment of Lara Croft to see if it can be improved to attain B-class. Phynicen ^"Chat" 20:09, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

B-class Assessment

1) The article is suitably referenced, with inline citations where necessary.

YPass, although I removed a little bit regarding the third un-made film which lacked citations, tagged for months.

2) The article reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain obvious omissions or inaccuracies.

YPass, nothing missing for the casual reader as far as I can see.

3) The article has a defined structure.

NFail, lead section shouldn't have citations in it. Awards can be cited in the "Critical Reception" section, thus not requiring them in the lead. Description of plot/theme citations can be put into "Appearances" section, thus not requiring them in the lead.

4) The article is reasonably well-written.

YPass, looks good, reads well, although improving to have more flowing prose rather than short stubby paragraphs will help it further.

5) The article contains supporting materials where appropriate.

YPass, good usage of images.

6) The article presents its content in an appropriately accessible way.

YPass, although echo concerns raised in item 4 for future movement up the quality scale.

Hope this assessment helps, feel free to poke me at my talk page with comments/queries. --Taelus (talk) 23:45, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that one issue about citations being in the lead has been fixed. I left the sentence about Lara croft's image as I believe it gives a good, quick summary about what Lara Croft does. Phynicen ^"Chat" 22:16, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
