 * Lead
 * Remove "acting" from "provided the voice acting"
 * "based Trevor's appearance on Ogg"..... I think you should specify that this is Ogg's physical appearance, otherwise some readers might think it refers to his fashion style or something
 * "Trevor is described by Dan Houser, co-writer of Grand Theft Auto V, as purely driven by desire and resentment" → "Grand Theft Auto V co-writer Dan Houser described Trevor as purely driven by desire and resentment"
 * "one of the most polemic characters in video game history"..... controversial would be a better word
 * "twisted" in "his twisted personality and violent actions" is POV, try "his violent personality and actions"
 * "has also praised for fitting"..... missing "been" after "also"
 * "that would actually execute popular player actions, such as murder and violence"..... willingly execute would be better


 * Character design
 * See note in lead regarding appearance
 * "would help move Grand Theft Auto V's story" → "would help move the game's plot
 * I realize this is an interview, but Buzzfeed (ref#5) is not the ideal source. Replace with different link to interview if possible.
 * Per WP:OVERCITE, a ref doesn't need to be used more than once in a row per paragraph, so remove the first instance of ref#8 (The Sixth Axis)


 * Attributes
 * Remove the "personality" subsection as this section has no other subsections
 * "He takes action in relentless and psychopathic manners, easily killing without remorse, however he is honest about everything and rarely shows hypocrisy, which he often points out in others"..... split this into two sentences
 * "regard Trevor to be"..... should be "regard Trevor as" or "find Trevor to be"
 * "Trevor displays more BPD symptoms than Psychopathic symptoms"..... needs to be sourced
 * Remove "actor Steven" from "When portraying Trevor, actor Steven Ogg"
 * Given the amount of content in the first paragraph, maybe more input from Ogg could be added


 * Appearances
 * Grand Theft Auto V
 * "Michael De Santa" should link to List of Grand Theft Auto V characters
 * "He would continue his criminal ways, including using his piloting skills to become a smuggler. Trevor eventually met Michael Townley and both men realised that they wanted to earn money by performing large heists, and both men became successful in doing so. However, their partnership began to strain after Michael married a stripper named Amanda and started a family with her"..... needs to be sourced
 * "Johnny Klebitz" should link to List of Grand Theft Auto: The Lost and Damned characters
 * "Trevor also enters an uneasy truce with his competitors in Sandy Shores, including The Lost Motorcycle Club led by Johnny Klebitz, the Varrios Los Aztecas gang, and the O'Neil Brothers"..... needs to be sourced
 * Unlink Franklin Clinton
 * "As a result of not getting paid after a job" → "After not getting paid for a job"
 * "However, the two stay in contact until the end of the game"..... needs to be sourced
 * "If Trevor and Michael are spared, they continue to spend time together with Franklin, during which Trevor eventually admits that he over-reacted after learning the truth about Brad, and refers to himself and Michael as friends"..... needs to be sourced


 * Cultural impact
 * Reception
 * "The character of Trevor" → "Trevor's character"
 * There is a "citation needed" tag that needs addressing
 * ref#36 (Eurogamer) is for some reason repeated for Xav de Matos' review. Also, I'm skeptical about ref#37 (Joystiq) and ref#40 (Gamerant)
 * Given the nominations Steven Ogg and Trevor received, let's mention who won the awards they were nominated for.


 * Controversies
 * The photo caption is quite lengthy, keep it to something simple like "The mission 'By the Book' was criticized for Trevor using torture methods such as waterboarding to interrogate a man"
 * "The mission 'By the Book' from Grand Theft Auto V generated controversy from reviewers and commentators for its depiction of torture"..... keep it simple, the mission was criticized for its depiction of torture
 * How is "Quarter to Three" (ref#51) a reliable source?

Sorry, but I'm failing- this article needs copyediting and more references before it is ready for GA status. As a general note, the end of each paragraph should be cited. Better luck next time.
 * Took care of everything you mentioned, except for Quarter to Three, which was proved to be reliable on Grand Theft Auto V's feature article discussion, and more input from Ogg, because there isn't anything else to add, as all our references have been exhausted. I'm nominating this article again, is that ok with you? SNUGGUMS URDNEXT (talk) 13:13, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
