Starting to review this. --PresN 19:29, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
And... unsurprisingly I don't have much, seeing as you're one of the best article writers in the VG project. There were couple instances where you had the period inside of a not-a-full-sentence quote, which I fixed. You're missing accessdates on your online sources, though that seems to have been intentional, and the two IGN sources could use an archive. As far as GA goes, you're golden- great job building an article on an 80s video game! --PresN 19:57, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks a ton for the review! (Not to mention the flattering comments.) I'll archive those IGN sources soon. JimmyBlackwing (talk) 20:15, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Commercial Success
[edit]The article twice states that the game was a greater commercial success than the film. Are there any figures for this? Computer game grosses in the 1980s were generally kept secret. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:45, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just came to say this.
- The reception segment states that "In the United States, Labyrinth was more commercially successful than the film upon which it was based", and attributes this to source [11]. Upon review, I can't seem to find information regarding the financial success throughout the entire book (and especially not within the 2 pages referenced).
- I would recommend either removing this information, or finding another source to attribute it to. TrueDon Elf (talk) 03:28, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
