Copyvio check

[edit]

Earwig Copyvio Detector says good to go. Quotations are reasonable and used in-line with WP:COPYQUOTE.

Prose

[edit]
Lead
  • "all featuring ink-based combat." – is a pretty confusing sentence. Maybe something like "all featuring combat themed around ink." would be more informative.

  • The first sentence of the second paragraph reads awkwardly. I would split "and received generally favorable reviews from critics." into its own sentence beginning with it.

Gameplay
Setting
  • "a new location called "Alterna"," – fictional locations do not need quotation marks.
    Where does it say that fictional locations don't need quotation marks? I mean, I'll do it anyway, I'm just curious as to why. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    @LunaEatsTuna: Forgot to ping. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:18, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Not sure if Wikipedia has a policy page on this, but I have never seen this used in any GAs or FAs before. It is standard practice not to in all styles of English—fictional place names are treated the same as real-life place names, in that they are proper nouns. Just like the names of fictional characters, no further details (like italics etc.) are required for them; just capitalisations. Generally, only the works themselves (video games, books, films etc.) may have quotation marks in software that does not support italics.
    Fair enough. In that case  DoneBlaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:19, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and hazardous Fuzzy Ooze" – explain what Fuzzy Ooze is.
     DoneBlaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "as Agent 3" – is the player and their pet collectively known as Agent 3?
     Done No they are not. Swapped the wording around. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 14:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "converting other life into mammals with the Fuzzy Ooze." – recommend "converting other life into mammals by using the Fuzzy Ooze."

  • "flying lawnmower-like-device" – rephrase; IMO its resemblance to a lawnmower is not really noteworthy.
     Done, changed to "cutting device" since it's not actually the device that flies but Captain 3 (Agent 3 from Splatoon 1). Seems to be some sort of unique "special" they use but that's not clear enough nor relevant enough to include. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and reach the rocket" – reaching.
     DoneBlaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The sentence starting "Agent 3 ultimately defeats Mr. Grizz," is a bit jagged.
    Not sure what you want me to do here. I suppose I could remove "ultimately" but otherwise it reads just fine to me. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:24, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
    Oh wait I see what you mean, you're talking about the entire sentence not just that phrase. Hmm.... I'll see what i Can do. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:25, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
     Done, moved some things around and removed "powered by a new rendition of 'Calamari Inkantation'" as that's not really relevant. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:29, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Refs

[edit]

Passes spotcheck on refs 5, 8, 11, 22, 34, 50, 65 and 75. Looking at other video game GAs, § Gameplay and § Plot generally do not require citations so those sections are good to go.

Other

[edit]

Short desc, infobox, section formatting, External links, navs, cats and other templates good to go.

  • Recommend adding WP:ALT text to the images if you can.
