As an introduction, Bejeweled is the very first game developed and released by PopCap Games. It was heavily influential in the casual games industry, being a major reason for its success and an inspiration for future match-three games. I am preparing this article for a potential future FAC. If all goes well, this article might be able to be featured on the front page for the 25th anniversary of its retail release.

editAhh, the match-three game that started it all. Unfortunately, I'm too young to remember it, but I'm happy to review this article for FA status! TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 15:59, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
- @TrademarkedTWOrantula: Hey it's been a week. Any update on your review? I'm not trying to rush you, I understand you have school. Lazman321 (talk) 04:37, 20 November 2024 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, no. I am occupied with school at the moment, but I will get to you soon. TWOrantulaTM (enter the web) 16:04, 20 November 2024 (UTC)

editDefinitely a long-time fan of the series. I'll take a look at the article's references in the next few days. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 13:31, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Vacant0: I want to say thank you for your prompt review. I will edit the article to address your points. As for the GA Review, I have no idea why ProtoDrake didn't provide a spot-check. I asked him if he could do one, but he seemed to misinterpret my request. Lazman321 (talk) 18:30, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
- By the way, to address your concerns over the reliability of some sources: DemiVision is a primary source, as it had been acquired by JAMDAT by the time Bejeweled Multiplayer was released; Wireless Gaming Review is a case of WP:USEBYOTHERS by The New York Times, GameSpot, and Game Studies, and it's only being used to support the specific platforms this version was released on; and I can just remove the MacDailyNews source as the information it supports is already supported by the IGN source.

- Thanks! Once you get it at FAC, feel free to ping me and I'll take a deeper look at the article. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

- The style of reference titles is currently inconsistent. It is recommended to have all titles use title case capitalization.
- I won't do a spotcheck, but rather only check the reliability of references (both of which were supposed to be done in the GA review, but there is no indication of this).
- Ref 14 is paywalled. Use the
|url-access=
parameter to indicate this. - There are several primary sources (PopCap, Astraware), which is fine.
- I'm unsure about the reliability of DemiVision, Wireless Gaming Review, and MacDailyNews. The rest, including the two books, are reliable.
