@MatthewHoobin: Hello again!

Six GA Criteria

1. Article is well-written. Very minimal mistakes if any at all.

2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.

3. Coverage is broad in depth and focus. Shows multiple aspects of the subject.

4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.

5. Article appears stable. Does not appear to have had any major vandalism occur.

6. Article uses one fair use image with proper rationale.

Lead

-Sources do not need to be cited in the lead so long as the text is verified and sourced in the article body per WP:MOSLEADCITE.

Overview

-Looks good

History

-I found this source while searching, which may be useful for expanding some content here. https://www.nhk.or.jp/morioka/lreport/article/002/89/ This is not a requirement of the criteria, just thought it'd be helpful :) .

Attendance and reception

-What is the importance Momotsuki of visiting? She is a well known person, but I'm not sure the mention of her visiting is necessarily important to understanding the subject.

-Would it be possible to beef up the commentary section with the other articles used in the article?

Dates at museums

-Looks good

Overall

-Overall minor issues. Address the above and I'll hit up the spotcheck.

Comments on GA Review

(Summoned by bot): Note: I am commenting only as per WP:GACR6 (#2) "Verifiable with no original research" and notes #2. I do not read or write the language so this places me at a disadvantage or handicap if you will concerning sources. There is a near certainty the values of the sources will be looked at.

Opinion: I read the article and agree with 1-6 especially the "Overall minor issues" rating. But noticed some issues that could use attention.

Redundancy: I can only see one thing needed for sure. The last sentence of the "History" section states "The exhibit is on display at the Hofu Science Museum "Solar" in Yamaguchi Prefecture from 9 November 2024 to 24 February 2025." 1)- Everything from February 29th and back (including early morning of the 30th (and my comments now) is history, the rest is not --yet. 2)- This is redundant content as it is listed in the "Dates at museums" section. Double listing program dates could be seen as promotional.
Sourcing: I will have to leave sourcing to someone fluent in the language. See: Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Pokémon/archive2.

A plus is the "What links here" and the number of links. According to Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section a main goal of Wikipedia is to help readers find related information and understand the topic of an article. Linking makes Wikipedia more useful and helps bind the project together. I even clicked on a few (in my crash course on the subject), including what I deem as the main article Pokémon, would be a good goal to work to promotion--again.

While there is absolutely no policy or guideline mandating lead citing (per WP:MOSLEADCITE) an article just looks better because of not being cluttered. As a summary of sourced content in the body of the article this addresses any requirements concerning issues of verifiability, biographies of living persons, and any other policies as long as exceptions are observed.

Suggestion: On the "Dates at museums" section and list, since the museum is obviously still active, would be to add something like that it is a "Dynamic list" at the top. Maybe add date content in a future dates subsection. Hope this helps. Have a nice day, -- Otr500 (talk) 02:50, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
