Baseline

None of the quickfail criteria applies to this article. For the subject matter, this seems to be very close to a GA in terms of length and broadness. No edit warring or cleanup banners that need immediate attention. No copyright violations appear to be present as well.

Prose

• Citations are not needed in the lead per WP:CITELEAD. This does bring up another issue however, that being that the "He is regarded as one of the best Tetris players in the United States" line is not included in the actual body. Either add it somewhere in the article or remove it entirely.

• "Gibson at 11 years old began to play the 1989 puzzle video game Tetris in 2021, after watching content relating to it on YouTube" → "Gibson began to play the 1989 puzzle video game Tetris in 2021, when he was 11 years old." Reads slightly better.

• The last line of the Background section can be put in the previous paragraph.

• Is the quote box absolutely necessary?

I personally like it since that phrase in particular was used by the majority of media outlets to describe his reaction to the achievement, in my eyes making it notable, but I can remove it if you want. Johnson524 05:52, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

Final comments

Overall a pretty good article, though there's some things that need to be addressed. I'll place this on hold to give you time. I might also take a second look when I'm done. λ NegativeMP1 18:39, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I'll get to these corrections tonight 🙂 Johnson524 21:49, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
