General info

Whose work are you reviewing? (provide username) : ZayMcCoy
Link to draft you're reviewing: One Piece: Pirate Warriors 4

Lead

Guiding questions:

Has the Lead been updated to reflect the new content added by your peer?
Does the Lead include an introductory sentence that concisely and clearly describes the article's topic?
Does the Lead include a brief description of the article's major sections?
Does the Lead include information that is not present in the article?
Is the Lead concise or is it overly detailed?

Lead evaluation

While the lead wasn't updated to reflect the addition made by this user, I can't say the article really suffers from it; specifically, it seems the user made the addition of including a list of all the playable characters in the game. I think the information of just how many characters and who they are might be too extensive/detailed for the lead, so I think it's fine as is. The lead is concise and presents certain tidbits of information not found in the article (such as the game's developing team), and provides a contents menu so that the main sections of the article can be navigated between with ease; there isn't, however, a brief description of each in the lead itself.

Content

Guiding questions:

Is the content added relevant to the topic?
Is the content added up-to-date?
Is there content that is missing or content that does not belong?

Content evaluation

The content is all up-to-date, even for the DLC characters, and all the information is relevant to the topic; however, there is one issue I have, and that's with the Gameplay section. It's fairly barren, and while telling the reader that the gameplay is "similar to that of prior installments" while providing a link demonstrating it is nice, I feel like it should actually be discussed more in-depth. However, that might be a bit nitpicky on my part; it would probably become redundant essentially copy-and-pasting the gameplay aspects for every new addition to a game franchise. And it feels like the development section is very underwhelming; all it got was an announcement trailer, and that was it? I'm sure there's more than that!

Tone and Balance

Guiding questions:

Is the content added neutral?
Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position?
Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented?
Does the content added attempt to persuade the reader in favor of one position or away from another?

Tone and balance evaluation

The content is neutral and unbiased, not attempting to persuade me one way or the other; I would say the only viewpoints that need work are the ones I previously discussed, of the gameplay and the development.

Sources and References

Guiding questions:

Is all new content backed up by a reliable secondary source of information?
Are the sources thorough - i.e. Do they reflect the available literature on the topic?
Are the sources current?
Check a few links. Do they work?

Sources and references evaluation

Kudos to you for going in and including all the characters and links to pages describing them; my only problem is that, looking through the pages describing them, I don't actually see any mention of their involvement in this game! I know this is probably more the issue of people who update the One Piece character pages rather than you, but it's a bit odd to 1.) link to characters whose histories don't show any hint of their involvement in a franchise (I know One Piece, so I know that these folks are in the game, but imagine if I didn't; it would kinda lower credibility, I think), and 2.) ...you kinda just linked to the characters involved. You didn't really say anything about how their characters play in the game, or even their relevance to the story. Speaking of which, there should be a "Story" section that summarizes the story mode, in my opinion. So, the links work, but they aren't exactly "current", at least in your case (the links to other characters, I mean) when it comes to the links to other Wiki pages. I understand that the link you posted (the Pirate Warriors Characters one) takes someone to a page that talks more about how the characters play, but I feel like there should be some semblance of that emulated on the wiki page.

Organization

Guiding questions:

Is the content added well-written - i.e. Is it concise, clear, and easy to read?
Does the content added have any grammatical or spelling errors?
Is the content added well-organized - i.e. broken down into sections that reflect the major points of the topic?

Organization evaluation

The content is well-written, and I personally didn't notice and grammatical/spelling errors. However, I feel like, as far as organization goes, maybe Development should be higher up, rather than towards the bottom? It is the process (well, a glimpse of the process) of the stuff that was put into the game, how, and when. I'd say only a glimpse though; no need to go overboard. But yeah, the content is also broken down into pretty good sections!

Images and Media

Guiding questions: If your peer added images or media

Does the article include images that enhance understanding of the topic?
Are images well-captioned?
Do all images adhere to Wikipedia's copyright regulations?
Are the images laid out in a visually appealing way?

Images and media evaluation

You didn't really add any images to the article itself, but I say it could maybe do with a few more. Maybe one of what "Titan Mode" looks like in comparison to how the game regularly looks? Heck, if you don't go through the links, there isn't really any indication of how the game itself looks like when played! The only image here is what I assume to be the cover art. You didn't add that (I assume) or any media for that matter, so this isn't really a criticism: just an idea or two of what you could do to go even further beyond.

For New Articles Only

If the draft you're reviewing is a new article, consider the following in addition to the above.

Does the article meet Wikipedia's Notability requirements - i.e. Is the article supported by 2-3 reliable secondary sources independent of the subject?
How exhaustive is the list of sources? Does it accurately represent all available literature on the subject?
Does the article follow the patterns of other similar articles - i.e. contain any necessary infoboxes, section headings, and any other features contained within similar articles?
Does the article link to other articles so it is more discoverable?

New Article Evaluation

n/a (this article isn't new).

Overall impressions

Guiding questions:

Has the content added improved the overall quality of the article - i.e. Is the article more complete?
What are the strengths of the content added?
How can the content added be improved?

Overall evaluation

I will say that the content you added makes a good addition, but in my mind, it's a bit tarnished by the fact that characters you posted have Wiki pages that don't depict their involvement in the game (at least, some of them do; Luffy's and Zoro's don't even seem to mention this game series); I would say article is more complete now, though! In a warriors-type game like this where unique characters are everything, the strength of what you added is that it gives more context to just who they are if the person reading the article isn't aware of them. I think it can, however, be improved by including a brief synopsis of how the characters are involved in the game's story, and maybe even how they play.
