GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   As the character list is very short, it would probably be a better idea to simply merge it to the plot section; additionally, a link to List of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure characters should be added to the section. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

   This is exactly what I initially wanted to do, but I worried that editors who love listing fictional elements would immediately revert a change like that (which I see happening a ton in anime/manga articles) - so yes, I'm happy to do this. Regarding the JoJo character list, I've added it, but I don't really think that list even has any reason to exist - it just consists of summaries of each JoJo part with links to the character sections in each part's article.--IDV^talk 12:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism):

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

   Considering the manga's age, the amount of Japanese coverage included is probably good enough; had this been newer, a more even mix of Japanese and English reception would have been required. However, see the above comment regarding characters. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

   Yeah, it was difficult to find much Japanese reception at all - I don't know what Japanese manga coverage was like back in the 1980s, but if it exists it is probably only in print magazines.--IDV^talk 12:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Just resolve the minor issue raised above and this will be a pass. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:50, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

   @Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the review! I have added the link to the character list, and merged the character section into the plot summary.--IDV^talk 12:10, 16 October 2017 (UTC)

   The issues raised have been resolved, and thus I'm pleased to say that this is a pass. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:40, 16 October 2017 (UTC)
