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):

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a(reference section): b(citations to reliable sources): c(OR): d(copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a(major aspects): b(focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. 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):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

"The game was later received" -> "The game later received"

Considering SC5P2 has been released on Windows, PS3, and 360, it feels appropriate to either not mention the face buttons of the respective platforms or mention the 360 and PS3 face buttons as well.

What is a "Down" command?

Try to cut down on semicolon usage in order to have more variety in how you connect sentences.

The last two sentences of the Ratings paragraph could be combined with a comma (ie "...act as a health meter, and remaining stars at the end...").

Can drop "one mistake ends the session", as the previous paragraph explains how hearts work.

What does it mean that her Japanese voice is attributed to Mineko Okamura? Is this not confirmed?

Is there any information on why the DC version is Japan-only? Obviously it likely missed non-JP territories due to a lack of success for the DC, but if there

Is it important to mention Nutt's reason for mentioning Jackson?

Reiner and Perry's comments could be paraphrased.

Fair use rationale is fine, but I would recommend expanding the details, such as that the image displays UI elements discussed such as hearts and ratings.

Are there any reviews for the re-releases of Space Channel 5: Part 2?

@Abryn: I've done my best to fix the grammar and punctuation issues, and rewritten those bits in the reception section. As to other points... There's only that one industry source on Okamura being Ulala's voice, with the only other vague confirmation being the Retro magazine article that says her voice actress was a UGA staff member; and there's been no mention as to why exactly the Dreamcast version wasn't released outside Japan. I've added reviewer comments about the Dreamcast Collection version, but there weren't any reviews from reliable or accepted sources available for the standalone versions. Also did my best to expand the image rationale. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:01, 24 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Here are some sources I found:

• https://www.gamesradar.com/rarest-and-most-valuable-collectors-edition-video-games/2/
• https://www.gamesradar.com/top-7-michael-jackson-involvements-gaming/ (can be used to note that Jackson played himself and specifically was interested in the series himself)
• https://www.polygon.com/2017/8/18/16169416/space-channel-5-part-2-failing-last-stage
• https://www.ign.com/articles/2001/12/14/wacky-space-channel-5-pre-order-stuff

@Abryn: I've used the refs in that lot that were of use. Jackson's liking for the series and role in the game was in the refs already in the article, and since you wanted it included I've done so. Is the article alright now? --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:41, 25 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
