I will be reviewing this article. Going to read through now and add queries here as I go. If required I'll massage the prose myself, but feel free to revert those changes should I accidentally change the intention of the sentence. Miyagawa (talk) 16:33, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Passes all quick fail criteria, will being review proper now. Miyagawa (talk) 16:34, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

• Might be worth adding a line to the lead regarding the addition of role playing elements and skills to the Sonic series.

• In development, the quote needs a reference directly after it.

• Date format in the references needs to be the same for all references. The magazine references use a different format to the other references.
  • Template "cite journal" is used for magazines, and "cite web" for websites. But if you mean the information given in each citation, I just use whatever is available/needed. For example, magazine references, because they are static, do not need accessdates. Also, the three Nintendo Power references in a row do not have authors because the pages cited contain simple lists of the best-selling games at the time. Tezero (talk) 21:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
    • You're quite right, just checked and I was misreading the page number as the date. Miyagawa (talk) 22:42, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

These are the only points I can see that stop this article from passing all the relevant GA criteria. Miyagawa (talk) 16:51, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
