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 ✅ 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.

 * 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)
 * Can we say "Video Graphics Array" rather than VGA  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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)
 * 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&#39;s Tuxedo (talk) 15:53, 24 August 2022 (UTC)

 * 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)
 * 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)
 * "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)
 * The original game Tetris isn't linked on first use in the body  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
 * [7][13][15][16] - overciting, either cull one or use WP:BUNDLING.  Lee Vilenski (talk • contribs) 15:40, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

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)
