this http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/NewsPendingCom-158784.aspx?CT=1&Page=1&Page2=1#C1206296 has been taken from this interview already posted http://www.n4g.com/industrynews/News-158776.aspx

not only that but they have twisted his words and made him sound like the actual score of the game when he is basicly stating how Badass the game will be compared to the original

Interesting.  I'd like to hear what the other mods think.  If it were a submission I would just edit it and call it good, but editing a user's review seems very school marm, while failing it seems cruel. 

All the details from http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/NewsCom-159130.aspx are already included in http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/NewsCom-159026.aspx?CT=1 .  Notice the first comments on the 2nd story (1st one submitted) already talks about uncharted controls, etc..

I don’t think any individual offers from any store should be on the main state, N4G has the Price Comparison area so there is no need for this!
 
But if it has to stay, the whole post is a mess as well.

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-159574.aspx?CT=1 is a dup of this http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-159519.aspx

This: http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-159625.aspx?CT=1 is a dup of this http://www.n4g.com/dev/NewsPending-159274.aspx

Got it.  I'll look at the story from your prior post as well.

Need a mods help here plz.

This:
http://www.n4g.com/NewsPending-159902.aspx
Is the original source of the story, however it's being reported as a dup. of this:
http://www.n4g.com/News-159916.aspx

I need a mod to approve the original source before it fails from duplicate reports.
Please PM me and I'll send it for approval.
Thanks a lot.

http://www.n4g.com/pc/NewsCom-160001.aspx?CT=1 is a duplicate of a 10 old article http://www.n4g.com/pc/NewsCom-155882.aspx?CT=1

EDIT: Found another one: All of the info in http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-159526.aspx is already word-for-word in http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-159478.aspx

A user created movie: http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsCom-160033.aspx?CT=1 

A user created 'story' whose 'source' is just a link to metacritic: http://www.n4g.com/gaming/News-160100.aspx 

All fixed.

Just wanted to take a sec. and also say thanks to all the regulars that post in this thread that help make our main area a better place. It may take only a few moments to post a problem here but it's taking time out of your visit at N4G to help the site out and I know I speak for all the admins and mods when I say what you do is extremely appreciated and that we hope you guys all keep up the good work. Thanks guys.

It's one away from approval and a million reports... Catch it before it hits.

http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsPending-159994.aspx

All dups of each other, however the first link is the most concise of the three.

This failed just as I was about to approve, I really don't see what the problem is with it?

Probably because it had a pic of the PS3 on the front, and fanboys didn't even read the article and see it really had nothing to do with their system.

I know, there was a littel bit of bad editing there, but it was mainly a dicusion about the save systems used this generation, I was wondering why people were getting so worked up over it.
 
Oh and this http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News-160239.aspx is basically a dup of this http://www.n4g.com/gaming/NewsPending-160100.aspx

Well i think it's all fixed up, Paul that last one seems like a legit post since it is from an actual news post.

Forum post and everyone keeps approving it.

http://www.n4g.com/News-160247.aspx article isn't even in English, and the submitter ignored a link given to him for the translated version in the report section.

Well another Spore related user-created vid!

The last sentence needs removing; the contributor just seemed to put that in there themselves.

I think this: http://www.charttrack.co.uk/index.jsp?c=p/software/uk/latest/index_test.jsp&ct=110033 is a dup of this http://www.n4g.com/gaming/News-160635.aspx
 
They use the same Chart Track data, just catorgorised slightly differently & the All Formats chart is the one usually used here. At most it should be an alternative source.

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsCom-160751.aspx?CT=1 title needs changing.

Nothing is said about 2.40 firmware, and it isn't even filed under "rumors" (since he started the rumor)

http://www.n4g.com/ps3/NewsPendingCom-160804.aspx?CT=1&Page=1&Page2=1#C1223396
 
Bad editing, use of 'we' etc in the main text with no mention to the site.

Done
