 * Comment: Reviewers should consider some points when reviewing this nomination. 1) The article was moved to a new title for the sake of disambiguation. 2) There is a POV issue raised on the article talk page (which apparently may simply be resolved). 3) Most of the suggested pics are just tagged by 'pending OTRS' and their copy right status are still unknown. --Mhhossein (talk) 16:46, 4 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Full review needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:43, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg This is a newly promoted GA and meets the criteria of newness and length. I am approving the original hook and its image, which is appropriately licensed. I am unclear about the status of the other images and they do not show up well at thumbnail size. This means I have not checked the alternate hooks. The article is about a video game and seems neutral to me. I did not detect any copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:31, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I do not see anything about him being "banned" from reentering Iran in the source. It sounds like he fled and is afraid to come back. Yoninah (talk) 10:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Huh, looks like you're right. I must have misinterpreted the source back when I wrote that. Thanks for picking up on it; I've changed the article and struck the hook. How's this as an alternative?
 * ALT4: ... that Navid Khonsari (pictured) felt afraid to reenter Iran after his video game 1979 Revolution: Black Friday was declared as propaganda by conservative journalists?
 * Let me know. – Rhain  ☔ 10:54, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Do you want to make the hook a little juicier?
 * ALT5: ... that after the release of 1979 Revolution: Black Friday, a conservative Iranian newspaper accused game director Navid Khonsari (pictured) of espionage, and members of his development team took on aliases? Yoninah (talk) 13:38, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wasn't sure how juicy you wanted to get with it, but I very much like that alternative. – Rhain  ☔ 14:15, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Thanks. Calling on new reviewer to approve ALT5. Yoninah (talk) 14:18, 22 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Isn't it just one newspaper (Kayhan)? Other than that, everything is cited and neutral. Random86 (talk) 04:25, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks like you're right. I made the change. – Rhain  ☔ 06:03, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT5 is good to go. Random86 (talk) 07:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
