Fallout is a 1997
role-playing video game developed and published by
Interplay Productions for the PC. It was a critical success, with praise for its unique setting and gameplay compared to other role-playing games for the PC at the time. As a result, it spawned a successful series of role-playing games and is often credited as one of the games that revived the genre.
I started work on this article in April 2021, with a successful good article nomination in July 2021. Then, I started working on it again in March 2022 with hopes of turning it into a featured article for the 25th anniversary. To get the
elephant in the room out of the way, my previous nomination that lasted from April to June 2022 failed, because only one review on the candidacy directly supported its promotion, with the others either being drive-by reviews or reviews that didn't vote. However, the article did improve during and after the previous candidacy, so hopefully, this candidacy will be different. Please, if you decide to review this article, please try to make it at least somewhat in-depth and vote. I do not want a repeat of the last candidacy.

No, this is not what I meant. My point here is that you should go over the article and check all the references before FAC. If a spot-check like this cover this much issue, I don't think that the article is ready for FA just yet. There's plenty of time to fix this, however, and I am more than happy to do a spot-check again in a few weeks.

Okay, I have finished a source check
here, and will be implementing changes to the article to address it soon. After I am done, you can go ahead and do a spot check.

Coord note -- Sorry Lazman, but with only one review after almost a month and no activity for a week, this nom has stalled so I'll be closing shortly. Given the relative lack of commentary, I'm prepared to waive the usual two-week pause before any re-nomination. You can, when re-nominating, ping editors who have commented at PR or previous FACs with neutrally worded invites to comment on the new nomination. Can I also suggest though that you try reviewing some of the other nominations in the current list? This can not only give you a better feel for the overall process but get you known in the community, which can sometimes result in more people being interested in reviewing your nom(s). Cheers,
