List of The Last of Us characters

Featured list candidates/List of The Last of Us characters/archive1

Nominator(s): -- Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 05:23, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am nominating this for featured list because I believe it meets all aspects of the FL criteria, comprehensively covering the characters featured in The Last of Us and providing insight to their importance within the game and in a real context. The article provides a detailed overview of the characters roles within the game, as well as the development process that was undertaken for the characters. Along with the high quality of content within the article, this proves to me that the article is good to go all the way. -- Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 05:23, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support as nominator. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 05:31, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quick comments:

WP:ALT needed for the lead image.
"deals with the relationship between a man named Joel and a young girl named Ellie" – those two "named" are redundant. -- FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 12:42, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your quick comments, FrankBoy! Would you be able to take another look at the article, and let me know of any other problems that you can see? No worries if you can't. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 05:31, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well I could spot anything else (others may), so I support. -- FrankBoy _CHITCHAT 10:56, 5 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from ProtoDrake

I'll give some comments.

An immediate concern I must raise is the archiving of GameSpot references. The site, which has been having extensive trouble with ads copying their site and using for their own purposes, has put in a deliberate block on any site at all making a copy of any page. That basically means that it is fed into a silly YouTube clip. They are apparently making Adjustments (not yet in place) for Archive.org, but the current WebCite archiving is useless. It's a pain, but apparently a pain which is being sorted. In the mean time, check all GameSpot references and remove the ones that redirect. When the problem is sorted, they can be put back.
Everything else seems fine.

Once the GameSpot is sorted, I can support this article. --ProtoDrake (talk) 12:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comments, ProtoDrake! I went through and removed all archived GameSpot references. Is this basically what you meant? I'll definitely replace them with Archive.org links when the problem is fixed; I'll be keeping my eye on WT:VG for any updates on this issue. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 13:30, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that's what I meant. I can support the article now. The archiving thing is a pain, but it should be sorted out soon. --ProtoDrake (talk) 13:33, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update: The archiving issue has now been fixed. All applicable links have been replaced. – Rhain1999 ^{(talk to me)} 16:10, 18 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Closing note: This candidate has been promoted, but there may be a delay in bot processing of the close. Please see WP:FLC/ar, and leave the {{featured list candidates}} template in place on the talk page until the bot goes through. – SchroCat (talk) 09:14, 20 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
