Seeing this nomination and remembering this game existed unlocked some weird, distant memories I forgot I ever had. Anyways, soon. λ NegativeMP1 21:12, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 00:15, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating @TrademarkedTWOrantula. Just a formality but as a significant contributor re. WP:GAN/I#N1 I am more than happy for this to be nominated. ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 05:13, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

How could I forget that D:
Honest mistake. I like underrated iOS games, and this article was basically begging me to be nominated. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 05:27, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

No problem at all! ＶＲＸＣＥＳ (talk) 02:33, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Quickfail checking

None of the quickfail criteria applies to this article. While the nominator is not the primary author, the primary author has given clear permission in the above discussion for the nominator to continue forth with the article. Onto the review. λ NegativeMP1 19:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Review

"Wonderputt is a 2011 golf video game created by Damp Gnat, the studio of independent developer Reece Millidge, for Flash and iOS." Consider changing to "Wonderputt is a 2011 golf video game created by Damp Gnat, the studio of independent developer Reece Millidge. Released on Flash and iOS ...", reads slightly better.

• Changed.
• "In Wonderputt, the player aims to complete eighteen holes of a mini golf course whilst avoiding traps and obstacles in as few swings as possible." → "In Wonderputt, the player aims to complete eighteen holes of a mini golf course in as few swings as possible, while avoiding traps and obstacles."
  • Reworded.
• "The game features a par score for individual holes and a points system for the final score, encouraging players to replay the game." this can probably be moved later down for better flow
  • Moved.
• Wikilinking mini golf a second time is fine, but I'm not sure if its recommended (I don't care, it's just something worth pointing out because MOS or something)
  • I'm gonna unlink it. The article's pretty short.
• Sales can be moved into Reception, either before or after Accolades
  • Placed above Accolades.
• I understand they're meant to summarize the following sentences, but "Reviewers were mixed on the gameplay and controls" and "Critics were mixed on the game's limited content and replayability" technically need their own citations.
  • Hm... I'm just gonna put all the references from that section to the topic sentence (not sure if that works)
• Spotchecked refs #1 and #12, both of which verify their contents.
  • Not a review comment, but I have ran the WP:IABOT on this page out of courtesy.

Final comments

A very well written article, both you and Vrxces did incredible work here. Obscure mobile or indie games getting the attention they deserve on Wikipedia makes me happy. I'll place this on hold to give you time to address the comments, but they shouldn't take too long. λ NegativeMP1 19:42, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

This has to be the simplest GA review I've seen xD TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 19:44, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

I mean, the article is pretty short and the subject is simple, plus I don't like to enforce my own personal writing style on others unless the writing doesn't make any sense. λ NegativeMP1 19:47, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

@NegativeMP1: Finished. TWOrantula^TM (enter the web) 20:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
