Initial comments

[edit]
  • There is unlikely any copyright violation in the article. Earwig's Copyvio Detector has reported only 10.7% in similarity.
  • There are no cleanup banners, such as those listed at WP:QF, in the article.
  • The article is stable.
  • No previous GA reviews.

General comments

[edit]
  • Prose, spelling, and grammar checking.
  • Checking whether the article complies with MOS.
  • Checking refs, verifiability, and whether there is original research.
    • References section with a {{reflist}} template is present in the article.
    • No referencing issues.
    • Reliability:
      • I doubt that we could use that YouTube reference. Are there any other references that could potentially back up those two sentences?
        • All information taken from that reference comes directly from Rockstar North's Brian Baglow, so it should be treated as a primary source in my opinion. None of the additional reporting from the uploading channel is used. I think it was a pretty cool find to give closure around the "Broadband Studios" topic, but I could phrase around the source if you think it must go. IceWelder [] 12:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • Other references are reliable.
    • Former names (in the infobox) are unsourced.
    • Spotchecked Ref 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 29, 31, 34, 39, 45, 49, 50, 51, 61, 71, 86, 106, 121, 124, 142–all verify the cited content. AGF on other citations.
    • Copyvio already checked.
  • Checking whether the article is broad in its coverage.
    • The article is very detailed. Good job!
    • The article addresses the main aspects, and it stays focused on the topic.
  • Checking whether the article is presented from an NPOV standpoint.
    • The article meets the criteria and is written in encyclopedic language.
  • Checking whether the article is stable.
    • As noted in the initial comments, the article has been stable.
  • Checking images.
    • Images are all properly licensed, including the YouTube video under a CC licence.

Final comments

[edit]

@IceWelder: There's not too much to fix. Once these issues get addressed, I'll promote the article to GA status. The review will be on hold for a week until then. Cheers, --Vacant0 (talkcontribs) 11:35, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Vacant0: Thank you for taking this on, especially considering the article's length! I made a couple adjustments and left additional replies above. Regards, IceWelder [] 12:25, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything looks good now to me. I'll promote the article. I'll jump in and leave some comments when you start the FAC nomination. Vacant0 (talkcontribs) 13:23, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
