Christ, already? Ok, I am PerryPerryD and I will be reviewing this article. Panini has shown great articles in the past so I have no reason to doubt this article being an exception, however, I review each article equally, regardless of previous reputation. With that, I will now begin. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 19:41, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Initial Notes

Copyright: The Year of Luigi Logo is already a concern of mine due to the Luigi Sprite on it. I would advise using an alternative logo, Such as the YoL Logo without the Luigi Sprite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs) 20:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

I've reverted the logo to the one without and tagged the others for deletion. This is a bot process that takes a week to commence, so it shouldn't be held against this review that they are still there and will be done in time. Panini! • 🥪 21:07, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Thank you. Resolved. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 21:12, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Just to be clear, the logo including Luigi is still allowed on Wikipedia if desired; it will just need a fair use rationale and the license will need to be changed since this is likely not in the public domain. – Rhain ☔ 00:18, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

I personally don't mind which one is used, but I do have a question, Rhain. Free image are always preferred over fair use ones, but the one currently there is technically not the "correct" logo; the one with the sprite is. Should I use the one currently there because it's a free alternative, or a fair use one with the sprite because it's the official version? Panini! • 🥪 11:54, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

The choice is yours, really. I'd argue that the "correct" one might be best as long as you can justify it in the fair use rationale. Despite their similarities, they're technically two different images, so I wouldn't get too caught up on free images being "better"; just choose what's best for the article. – Rhain ☔ 12:10, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

I chose to use the sprite, but I made a separate file from the one prior so I can use it elsewhere (the template, M&L: DT). @PerryPerryD, can I get an update on the review? Also, congrats on the Wii U promotion! Panini! • 🥪 12:37, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

@Panini! Heya, I am sorry, I was taking a 1 day unexpected wikibreak due to events that came up, I will now resume the review. Thank you for your patience. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 17:21, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Oh, that's perfectly fine. You're good! Panini! • 🥪 18:03, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Well Written

• The sentence "and released a parkour-themed mockumentary." feels out of place and undescriptive, when was this mockumentary released? where was it shown? Either expand this sentence or remove it to later in the article as this sentence is too confusing, especially to a broad audience. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 17:52, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

  Clarification Approved. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 18:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Clarified
• "Also in August, Nintendo released a mockumentary titled Finding Luigi – Legend of Parkour;" Clarification, Where was this video released? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs) 18:00, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

  Clarification Approved. Pass. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 18:24, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

  • Also clarified

There were a few other prose issues in this article, however I proceeded to fix these myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs) 18:08, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Verifiable

Pass. All claims appear to be validly sourced and only 1 Primary source is used (Citation 54:Nintendo).

Broad

Pass, Going into detail of the specific Luigi themed games released during this period, and with those sections being shorter than the main focus of the article, This gives due weight to all parts of the article and allows the article to be spread out and broad.

Neutral

Pass. This article does not praise or criticize the Year of Luigi other than for the reception section which is quoted by reviewers and is Not representative of the authors opinion in question. No outside critique is given in this aritcle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs) 18:22, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Stable

Automatic Pass. Past 2018, Panini has been the sole major contributor with the exception of 2 editors, which automatically prevents edit warring to have taken place.

Illustrated

Pass but please be careful, the Luigi sprite shown in the logo makes copyright complex, A fair use rationale does apply here however.

Final Notes

With the issues I stated above fixed, I see absolutely no reason to deny this article. Well done again Panini!. Congratulations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PerryPerryD (talk • contribs) 18:29, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
