Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

Lede

- advantage of the advances in computer technology since the original game's release by showcasin - this is a bit promo-y to me. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Can we say "Video Graphics Array" rather than VGA Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Alexander Pushkin's epic poem Ruslan and Ludmila - can we reword to avoid three links like this? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Mikhail Glinka's opera of the same name - I must admit, first time I read this, I thought they had an Opera called Tetris. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I do think the lede could probably name some of the people working on it.Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That's really only the procedure if the staff is independently notable (i.e. Shigeru Miyamoto or Yuji Naka) and/or if the game is an indie title of a particular vision (i.e. Toby Fox). Cat's Tuxedo (talk) 15:53, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

General

I'm a bit surprised all we can find is a manual to cover the basics of how Tetris is played... Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If a time limit is not set, the game ends if the pieces are allowed to reach the top of the pit - presumably always true? Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
"Single Player", "Cooperative", "Competitive", "Dual Pit", and "Head-to-Head". The Single Player mode is further divided into five subsequent modes determined by a time limit, ranging from "Unlimited" to 15 minutes - should these really be proper names? Also some of these don't need quotes, like competitive and unlimited. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The original game Tetris isn't linked on first use in the body Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
[7][13][15][16] - overciting, either cull one or use WP:BUNDLING. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Review meta comments

I'll begin the review as soon as I can! If you fancy returning the favour, I have a list of nominations for review at WP:GAN and WP:FAC, respectively. I'd be very grateful if you were to complete one of these if you get time. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:41, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
