Further to the reception section, one thing I noticed is that a couple of commentators are mentioned by name (Marc Oxoby and Joyce
Saricks), but no context is provided to explain who these people are and why their opinions are notable. Would it be worthwhile adding some brief identifying context, or
402:. You quote someone as saying In his book, The Fantasy Roleplaying Gamer's Bible, and that Sean Patrick Fannon describes the Forgotten Realms as being "the most ambitious fantasy game setting published since Tekumel". Therefore, why aren't there many sources describing the impact under
486:
The section doesn't really feel complete because it is primarily in-universe (and we're keeping that to a minimum), and because their are other main articles for each of the topics. I'm not sure how to really make it better, although if you have any ideas that would be great!
413:. It's also uncommon to find reliable information that discusses the setting as a whole from a "reception" standpoint, rather than focusing on individual products or editions. I can look into finding more if wanted, although it could take some time. -
677:
I was wondering something, and maybe you can help with this. Would it be better to keep the article as a rough chronological whole as it is, or should it be split up into sections detailing RPG product, novels, computer games, etc?

Hi, I am reviewing this article for GA and am listing my comments below. I copyedited the article and slightly reworded and fix punctuation. Many of the changes I made were to punctuation in quotations. See:

Much of the World section can easily be confirmed by a look through the official rulebooks, although I can more specifically cite it if needed. I'll look into rewording it's lead. -

section is fairly new; we only started adding to that recently. We'll try to find more to add there, as undoubtedly there is a ton... the question is, where to find it?
155:
If possible, put references at the end of a sentence, if it covers the whole sentence. It is best not to frequently interrupt sentences with citations in the middle.
276:
Do you have any ideas as to how it could be changed to not look copied? It looks fine to me, although it was indeed copied (in this case from the article's lead). -

I think that most everything mentioned has been fixed; apologies if I missed anything! The only thing that I know hasn't been done was adding citation to

That is a good idea regarding persons such as Marc Oxoby who have particular expertise or credibility, to mention that person's standing in the field. —
