Before I start my reviews, I always go through and copy-edit first.

Lead

• The third "paragraph" is only one sentence. Can you expand this by at least a couple more sentences?

Expanded it a bit. Freikorp (talk) 12:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Appearances

-In video games

• The fourth paragraph, I don't see the necessity of needing to mention she was in trailers and concept art, but it's nothing major. If this was the development or marketing section for StarCaft II, I could see its usage, but like I said, it's nothing major.

Fair enough. Removed that part of the sentence. Freikorp (talk) 12:23, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• "In StarCraft II, Kerrigan begins anew her attack on the Terran Dominion colonies." What? Maybe I'm having a brain fart, but that doesn't sound right.

Reworded. Freikorp (talk) 12:23, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• When does she start proclaiming herself as the "Queen of Blades"? That should be mentioned sometime before the Heart of Swarm paragraph. --JDC808 ♫ 17:50, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Good question. Honestly, I don't know, and I wouldn't expect any source to specifically state when the her first use of the term was. Btw just fyi I didn't write most of the article, I just adopted it and did some major reference and copyediting fixes before nominating it. Freikorp (talk) 12:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Okay. It's odd not knowing it because when reading through the "In video games" subsection, there's no mention of it, then when you get to the last paragraph, it says "Once again a human, Kerrigan is brought by Raynor to a secret research facility run by Valerian Mengsk to determine how much of her skill at controlling Zerg remains from her time as the Queen of Blades." I did a little research myself and she began this claim after she gained control over all Zerg. --JDC808 ♫ 17:52, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Reception

• Something you might want to add: Tricia Helfer won "Best Performance by a Human Female" at the 2010 Spike Video Game Awards for her role as Sarah Kerrigan in StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty.

Done. Freikorp (talk) 12:37, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

References

• REF #2 and #5 which are instruction manual refs, you can cite those the same way you do the other books.

Done. Freikorp (talk) 12:37, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

• Looking over the sources, you cite the work, but not the publisher (for example, REF #45, Game Informer is the work, GameStop would be its publisher).

Is that a problem for GAN (or at all)? I typically only cite work for online web sources, including in my other successful GA and FA nominations. Nobody had ever brought it up before, that's all. Freikorp (talk) 12:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Not necessarily for GAN. The REFs as they are currently are actually fine for GAN. I just bring up this point because you will need to do it for FAC and it would easier to do it now than later, plus it would get you used to adding both work and publisher when sourcing things in the future. Online sources also have a publisher. Some publishers are also the work (which means you don't have to put both). I can help out getting these because it's not hard to find them. --JDC808 ♫ 17:52, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Got them all.

That's all I have. --JDC808 ♫ 19:36, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

@JDC808: Thanks a lot for your review, please have a look at my responses/edits and let me know if anything else is outstanding. Btw i'll start reviewing your FAC tomorrow. Freikorp (talk) 12:57, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and this is a pass. --JDC808 ♫ 18:12, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
