In response to User talk:ferret#No critical acclaim for Dishonored.. I believe a little more thought may be needed here. Typically I prefer to err on the side of caution and stick with a fairly neutral and (should be) uncontroversal "positive reviews". A lot of articles see drive by editors who change "positive" to "universal/critical acclaim". But usually those cases do not pass 90/100 on Metacritic.
In this case, Dishonored does pass the 90/100 mark though, for a single platform. How do we accurately represent this? One version is higher than the others and they straddle the boundary. -- ferret ( talk) 16:02, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Hey, I´m fairly new to wikipedia in the less public sections, so if I make some mistakes in communicating with other forum-members correctly in regards to proper editing etc., I´d like to apologize in advance. Thank you. Concerning the topic: While I wouldn´t have any sort of problem with the term "positive reviews" at all, the thing that irks me is that seemingly not all pages would hold up the same high level of quality as the Dishonored-article, leading to the game being connoted as a bit worse than the reviews actually suggest. So "Positive reviews" would be a fine term, but what of the other wikipedia-pages then that would still use the "universal/critical acclaim" catchphrase and thus profit from less accurate editing?
One article I could think of, even though that one IS actually about my favourite game (and not Dishonored, as it may come across), is the Deus Ex: Human Revolution article. Here the "critical acclaim" is listed in both the reception-section and the introduction-section, even though the ratings are slightly worse than Dishonored´s and the "critical acclaim" could also only be applied to the two PC-versions, whereas the console-versions suggest "generally favourable" reviews.
So I agree with you both that this discussion should maybe be discussed a bit more in regards to having a real benchmark for such things since it blurs the reception-section of the articles to some extent. Autorefiller, 17.01.2016, 11:17
