Final comments and verdict

•  On hold until the issues are fixed, though do not feel afraid to question me over any issues with implementing the changes if I have suggested things that may not be correct. --K. Peake 17:42, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake I have addressed almost all issues, see above. Alex ^{reach me!} 17:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

11JORN Thanks for that, the issues with MOS:TABLECAPTION are where you have not added captions to tables like they should be; take a look at recently passed-GA songs to understand what this is. As for any cases where I put ditto, that meant to do the same as the change suggested above. --K. Peake 17:52, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

11JORN It has been sometime and you have still not responded, but the article is very close to meeting the criteria; will you make the fix soon? --K. Peake 07:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Kyle Peake Hello! The user hasn't been active for quite some time so I hope it's not a problem if I jump on this to solve the few remaining issues, I don't want this article to be failed due to inactivity. I added the captions as per MOS:TABLECAPTION, and the last issue was a ref that violated WP:SELFPUB. Could you please point once again what it was? Because they were switched. - Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 08:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Gabrielflorin01 Yeah I was thinking that about the inactivity too; this can pass if you fix it and the Engadget ref is the WP:SELFPUB violation in question above. Thanks for showing commitment to taking over, that's useful. --K. Peake 09:14, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Replaced the ref with another. Unfortunately, I had to remove some info as it was some sort of exclusive interview and there's no other source to cover it. - Gabrielflorin01 (talk) 10:12, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Gabrielflorin01 Thanks a lot, ✓ Pass time has come! --K. Peake 20:32, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
