[edit] Copy edit and fact checking

If someone could do a copy edit on this article it would be a big help. More importantly, If someone who is proficient in Japanese do a fact check of some of the statements with citations from Japanese websites, that would be most graciously appreciated. My Japanese is limited and after a couple of hours of going through sentences/words with online translators and my own knowledge of Japanese grammar, I'm not 100% confident in the content posted, specifically info about Yoko Shimomura's in the "Creation and influence" section. If these tasks can be done I think it might be ready for GA nomination soon. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 20:11, 9 August 2007 (UTC))

[edit] GA

Meets all criteria fairly well. It could stand for some prose polishing, but otherwise great. — Deckiller 00:56, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, that's my job! :) And I'm not done yet. Maybe you could take a look when I'm finished? Axem Titanium 01:15, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, didn't notice the section-stub under Reception. It's just GA; we all know it's up to standards even now. — Deckiller 01:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Expanding the article

Just thought I'd throw out a few ideas on what could be done to maybe get this article to FA. What does everyone think about changing the headings of the Musical pieces to include the Japanese song title also? Like "Simple And Clean and Hikari" and "Sanctuary and Passion". Because right now, the content is more focused on the English themes, and I know they could be expanded with more info on the Japanese themes.

The "Creation and influence" section could also use some more content, particularly in regard to Yoko Shimomura's contributions. I remember reading something about her thoughts or the amount of work she did for the reworked tracks in Re:Chain of Memories. But at the time I only skimmed through it because I was looking for development info for one of the games and don't remember where I found it. If anyone comes across this or anything regarding her contributions it would greatly be appreciated.

Any thoughts or suggestions? (Guyinblack25 ^talk 15:25, 13 September 2007 (UTC))

I think it would be a great idea to also show information from a Japanese perspective in addition to an English one, be it North American or otherwise. I support including the Japanese song titles right along with the English ones, as long as a transliteration is also included. Taric25 (talk) 01:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, there's kind of a problem with that because "Hikari" is so far the only piece in the entire series to have a Japanese name.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 01:41, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sales info

Just throwing out a request to anyone who can find the information. If anyone can find some sales number on the soundtracks I think that would really help in getting this article to FA. Or if someone has some suggestions on places to look, that would be helpful as well. (Guyinblack25 ^talk 16:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC))

[edit] WP:VG Assessment

From WP:VG/A. I have one comment: the prose is awkward sometimes. Check User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a, and do some editing there. Something else that struck me was the first music sample, apparently a remix - is this appropriate here? Rated A-class, waiting for confirmation on that. User:Krator (t c) 11:43, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

I'll agree with that. I'd also add that there are large empty spaces in the article around the track listings, I'd recommend trying to get rid of them if possible. Rating A-class. -- Sabre (talk) 14:27, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
