Overall: 
@Soulbust: reviewing this since i'm not gonna wait on a QPQ. There's an uncited paragraph in Games - Overwatch series and the sentence " During this period, humanity prospered and omnics began to be treated as people." should be cited too. Waiting on that and a QPQ before I approve. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:23, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Sorry i've been really busy off of wikipedia rn. But I just reviewed Bell shrine. Will source that paragraph soonish (within the next ~24hrs or so). Soulbust (talk) 02:43, 29 October 2022 (UTC)

- Hey, @Soulbust: I still need the sentence "During this period, humanity prospered and omnics began to be treated as people." Then I'll approve this. Onegreatjoke (talk) 13:26, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
- @Onegreatjoke: Just tweaked and sourced the sentence rn. Soulbust (talk) 16:49, 29 November 2022 (UTC)
