vice Presidential candidate JD Vance admits to playing magic The gathering in his book Hillbilly Elegy since 1999

A number of years ago, I suggested an episode of Family Guy where a suicide bomber goes to Paradise to claim his 72 virgins, only to find they are in fact 72 unmarried Star Trek fans who are "just about to play a game of Magic: The Gathering"; but was slapped down because it lacked notability, or some such nonsense. Uh-huh. This time next year, ask someone who the hell J.D.Vance used to be.

GA concerns

[edit]

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

  • There are uncited passages in the text, including entire paragraphs.
  • There are several sections that are quite long: these should have the text reduced or split with level 3 headings.
  • This article is over 10,000 words: WP:TOOBIG recommends that articles this big should be spun out or have the prose trimmed. I think this article should consider reducing the prose.

Is anyone interested in addressing these concerns, or should this article go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 02:42, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Duel Masters and Destroy all humans

[edit]

It would be good to mention "Duel Masters" (until 2002) and "Destroy All Humans. They Can't Be Regenerated" manga and anime. which are based on MTG.Not sure where to put it in the article. 185.18.60.54 (talk) 11:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is uncited text throughout the article, including entire sections and paragraphs. At over 11,000 words, this article is considered WP:TOOBIG and is probably too detailed in some areas. Some sections are quite large, affecting readability especially for mobile users. If there is still a lot of text in some of these sections after the prose is reduced, I recommend that it be broken up with headings. Z1720 (talk) 16:16, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
