Heya,

Rhain1999, I'll take this one. I actually checked a copy out at my local library and read it so I feel SUPER PREPARED to take this on. I'll ping you again when the first pass of the review is done, although if you see a comment that needs addressing before I'm done, by all means go ahead and address it!

  • "which is particularly due to Ellie's young age." The source suggests that partially might be a better fit than particularly.

  • "While she is completing the chore, she realizes that Riley stole her Walkman,[8] and later demands that she return it; Riley reluctantly returns it, after making sarcastic comments." --> "While she is completing the chore, she realizes that Riley stole her Walkman,[8] and later demands that she return it, which riley reluctantly does."

  • "recognized Ellie, and demanded" --> "recognizes Ellie, and demands"

They argue about it, which results in Marlene threatening to shoot Riley.[17]" --> "When Riley claims she would like to join the group and Marlene refuses, the two argue, resulting in Marlene threatening to shoot Riley."

1b

  • Link Ellie once in the lead and the first time her name appears in the body of the article. Subsequent links aren't needed.
  • Likewise, you probably don't need to link anything in the caption of the image of Druckmann.
  • You mention in the lead that the issues were collected in an edition published October 2013. This does not come up anywhere else; I'd suggest a separate section beneath Issues with a listing of the collected edition to justify this.

2a

  • Do you have an ISBN for Ref 1 (it's a book, right?)

2b, 2c

  • Well cited throughout, using a variety of secondary sources (all of which are ARCHIVED, thank you!)

3

  • Covers major elements in detail.
  • Does not go on tangents.

4

  • Gives due weight to criticism. Looks good!

5

  • No warring. Very stable.

6

  • Good inclusion of images (2 nonfree, properly tagged; 1 free, hosted on Commons with proper attribution and info).

Just a couple more things to do,

Rhain1999! Thanks for crafting a neat, informative on this series. It's well on its way to GA. BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 03:37, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply

Rhain1999, I've run this article through the copyvio detector and there was one phrase that stuck out to me as being a little longer than I'm comfortable with for copyvio purposes: "the ideal character to focus on in the comic", from the IGN source. If you wouldn't mind rephrasing it in some way, I think this article would be GA-ready! BobAmnertiopsisChatMe! 23:27, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply
