Improved to Good Article status by Blaze Wolf (talk). Self-nominated at 17:51, 27 February 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Splatoon 3; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Promoted to GA on the same day as this nomination. Nominator is exempt from QPQ. Hooks are interesting enough and succinct, but I have some concerns. For ALT0: from what I can gather, the game didn't become the second-fastest selling game in Japan, it became number one and was surpassed two months later. This should be rephrased within the article: state that it became the fastest-selling and was later overtaken (maybe in a footnote). (I would also recommend replacing the possibly unreliable Forbes with an RS like GameSpot, VG247, or Nintendo Life.) Regarding ALT1: the article (and source) says this occurred after one month, not three. Once these issues are addressed, this should be good to go. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:53, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Rhain: I don't know where I Got the "three months" from lol. I'd like to use ALT0 if I can, but if you don't know how I could reword it this is fine as well. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 02:03, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
I just made the requested changes myself, so this is good to go. – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 02:59, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
