Infobox

PS3 is mentioned in infobox, but not the article

I'll fix that

Plot

"who both seek a Joustus champion" Do they seek a champion of Joustus, or do they seek becoming a champion?

They both seek someone to appoint as a champion.

Reception

Edge, IGN, Nintendo Life, and Nintendo World Report should be incorporated in the reception.

I'm a bit confused about this. I don't have to use every review in reception, right? I only excluded Edge because I don't have access to the magazine review, and I don't see why I absolutely need to incorporate IGN.

@Cukie Gherkin, query on this. Thanks, The Night Watch (talk) 05:16, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My mindset is that articles listed in the reception table should also be used in the article. Other editors do feel similarly (see this discussion. It's not something that has a strict policy or guideline position, mind. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:19, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I'll try to incorporate IGN, since NLife and NWT are already there. Gimme a sec. The Night Watch (talk) 05:24, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oh right, I forgot to remove the latter two (Nintendo Life I got confused by because it had a Game Developer URL attached to it instead of the NL review). That said, this is the only thing left before I can pass. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:26, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Cukie Gherkin integrated IGN. Thank you! The Night Watch (talk) 05:33, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Misc

Should archive the URLs

There was a bug with my PC when I was using IABOT earlier, I'll try archiving it again now.

Aight, passed. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 05:35, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Improved to Good Article status by The Night Watch (talk). Self-nominated at 23:09, 27 December 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Shovel Knight: King of Cards; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

The article was recently promoted to GA status. I could not see any obvious or glaring issues with it. The hook is fun and I could see it appealing to readers and getting them to click on it. A QPQ has been completed. All in all, everything looks set here. Aoba47 (talk) 01:18, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
