I'll do this one!--AlexandraIDV 22:55, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox

  • Seems fine

Lead

  • "DS" as a shorthand for "Nintendo DS" is obvious and doesn't need to be introduced in parentheses like that (and "Nintendo DS" is not very long in the first place - consider whether it is even worth shortening it). Same for when you introduce it again in the gameplay section.
  • Is there any reason we're not mentioning the (main) genre in the lead sentence?
  • Uncurable diseases can already be treated - the two are not synonyms.
  • Would recommend briefly mentioning what reviewers liked/disliked about the game
  • Would consider describing Derek as "a surgeon" rather than "a man".
  • In the note, for the JP title, you give "Chōshittō Caduceus" as the title, which is fine, but I would recommend also adding "Chōshittō Kadukeusu" as the Hepburn romanization as it is spelled differently and shows the native JP pronunciation of Caduceus

Gameplay

  • using static scenes, character portraits, and text with rare voice clips. - am I to interpret this as meaning that the text sometimes, but not always, is accompanied by voice acting?
  • Otherwise this seems fine

Synopsis

  • Stile's - his name is Stiles, not Stile, right?
  • Relatedly, you sometimes refer to him by his surname and sometimes by first name
  • Otherwise, this seems fine

Development

  • When you introduce the acronym RPG, consider writing out "role-playing game" in full to make it clearer to readers unfamiliar with the term
  • You should mention that ER and Chicago Hope are television series specifically - one could otherwise get the impression that they are lines of surgeon sims

Release

  • CERO ratings aren't named after the age recommendation, so change "12" to 12 years and up, without quotation marks
  • The game was instead published by Nintendo of Europe.[12][23] It was released in Europe on April 28, 2006. - these can be combined into a single sentence

Legacy

  • Looks fine

References

  • Looks fine - RSs, and some use of interviews/primary sources

Images

  • Both seem fine

Notes that are not part of the GA criteria'

  • Consider adding alt text to all images to aid readers with impaired vision
  • Ref formatting is inconsistent, with some websites written in italics and some not.
  • We don't usually link to multiple official websites for different regions - but if you do want to keep them both, I would suggest grouping them together and not putting Mobygames in the middle

Looks good! I will put this on hold for the standard seven days; ping me when you are done or if you have any questions.--AlexandraIDV 00:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexandra IDV: I think I've addressed all the points above. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
All right, I think it's ready for GA! I will go ahead and promote it now~--AlexandraIDV 13:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
