  • The prose definitely needs work. There's no need for subsections if they are no more than five lines each, it clutters the article
  • Warcraft Orcs v Humans 01.png needs a much better Fair use rationale, is overly large (the standard is 200px) and needs a much shorter caption
  • The Reception section needs major cleanup. Consider combining everything into around five paragraphs.
  • There is far too much detail for things like spells and things, and it unfortunately borders WP:GAMECRUFT

  1. Why was this failed with no hold at all. It is customary to hold for seven days. Your points could easily have been answered / addressed in that time. This looks like a very shoddy review to me - you didn't bother to put an under review tag on the GAn page acording to this diff.[1]. Please familiarise yourself with the review process before thinking about undertaking any more reviews. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
