Ellie (The Last of Us) edit
- ... that actress Ellen Page accused Naughty Dog of "ripping off [her] likeness" for the design of Ellie in their video game The Last of Us?
ALT1:... that actress Ashley Johnson (pictured) was excited to portray Ellie in The Last of Us, as she felt that video games rarely feature such strong female characters?- ALT2:... that Naughty Dog refused a marketing request to place an image of Ellie on the back of the packaging for The Last of Us, as they felt she was too important to the game?

Well, at least I don't have to worry the DLC being spoiled anymore. New (30th), just under long enough (should be 12k—per WP:DYKR,
—and it's 11k and change so I think it's fine, neutral, no copyvio found via spot check, QPQ done. All hooks check out and have immediate refs in the article (3b), but I'm striking ALT1 because it's the least interesting and since there is no timecode to verify it in the 1.5 hour linked video (I suggest adding the timecode anyway, for other purposes). I prefer the main hook, but ALT2 works too. Non-DYK thoughts: it would make sense to italicize Eurogamer etc. as online news magazines/sites. And if I can add one final though, you generally do thorough, excellent work, but I think this article sets a bar for what WPVG character articles should be. It almost entirely depends on secondary sourcing and direct developer commentary, and has clear out-of-universe impact/significance (awards) for her explicit role in the history of the medium, even though she isn't a "big" character. There is no memorable mention of listicle bullshit and no cobbling together of a bunch of passing mentions in order to constitute notability. This is the type of recent yet notable character articles the project needs. czar ⨹ 21:07, 2 May 2015 (UTC)If a new article incorporates text copied from another Wikipedia article, then it must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a pre-existing article.
