I'll do this one!--Alexandra^IDV 22:55, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

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.--Alexandra^IDV 00:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

@Alexandra IDV: I think I've addressed all the points above. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:57, 8 December 2020 (UTC)

All right, I think it's ready for GA! I will go ahead and promote it now~--Alexandra^IDV 13:53, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
