I'll be doing this review.  Nomader  ( talk ) 19:31, 10 June 2018 (UTC)


 * GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)


 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
 * I usually try to find at least one thing to nitpick in this section, but I've got nothing. Really good writing and fascinating subject.
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):  d (copyvio and plagiarism):
 * Listed 2b concerns below, should be easy fixes.
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars, etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * Only screenshot is the title screen, and it has a sufficient summary.
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
 * On hold pending fixes to the 2b concerns listed below. Don't anticipate it being a challenge-- really great work on a super interesting game, glad that I decided to click on this one out of curiosity in the GAN list!  Nomader  ( talk ) 05:36, 11 June 2018 (UTC)

2b concerns
Thanks for the review! I've responded above and have hopefully cleared everything up. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * "In Sonic Dreams Collection, the player selects one of four single-player parody minigames based on the Sega game franchise Sonic the Hedgehog." -- neither source backs this up (the first one lists four games but it doesn't explicitly say "there's four")
 * I've added a Kill Screen source that explicitly states there's four. JOE BRO  64  10:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Not sure what citation #4 is-- is there another source that's usable there?
 * It's the game itself. I used Template:Cite video game. JOE BRO  64  10:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't see the Tweet get talked about in the Polygon video (could you provide a timestamp if I somehow missed it?)
 * Replaced with a primary source. It showed the option in the video; I had assumed that was enough. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Didn't see the Seganet explanation in the cited Polygon video.
 * Replaced. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Source does not mention "motel" as one of the locations. Says they're all on a bed but isn't specific-- try to sub out or add an additional one.
 * Replaced with one that's mentioned in the source. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The game states Sonic Movie Maker would have been a technological achievement but was canceled in 1998 when Sega management discovered its dark and sexual content -- Destructoid does not include this directly and the Polygon source shows it in the video but doesn't talk about it. This might be a good place to use Template:Cite video game.
 * Done. JOE BRO  64  10:59, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The Unity note doesn't seem to be cited to any article-- is it in the game at all though either?
 * I've removed it. It's in the game's files but not elsewhere. The only other place that mentioned it was Sonic Retro, which is just a fansite. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Any non-primary sources for the Archie stuff? Pastebin is kind of a weird place to have a citation for.
 * I did look for non-primary sources about it, but unfortunately couldn't find any. I was a bit hesitant to include the Pastebin ref, but reviewed the self-published sources policy and determined that it checked the boxes. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The PC Gamer article added a tag for "Weird shit" to it, but it didn't necessarily summarize it that way.
 * You're right—replaced it with a VG247 summarization. JOE BRO  64  16:50, 11 June 2018 (UTC)
 * I was going to go through and individually respond to these, but I think you addressed my points really well and the places where I asked questions, you explained your reasoning well. I made one more pass through the article and have no other changes-- I'm going to go ahead and pass. Great work!  Nomader  ( talk ) 00:43, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
