Hello, I am planning on reviewing this article for GA Status, over the next couple of days. Thank you for nominating the article for GA status. I hope I will learn some new information, and that my feedback is helpful.

If nominators or editors could refrain from updating the particular section that I am updating until it is complete, I would appreciate it to remove a edit conflict. Please address concerns in the section that has been completed above (If I've raised concerns up to references, feel free to comment on things like the lede.)

I generally provide an overview of things I read through the article on a first glance. Then do a thorough sweep of the article after the feedback is addressed. After this, I will present the pass/failure. I may use strikethrough tags when concerns are met. Even if something is obvious why my concern is met, please leave a message as courtesy.

Best of luck! you can also use the {{done}} tag to state when something is addressed. Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)}

Please let me know after the review is done, if you were happy with the review! Obviously this is regarding the article's quality, however, I want to be happy and civil to all, so let me know if I have done a good job, regardless of the article's outcome.

• It is a long way from meeting any one of the six good article criteria -
• It contains copyright infringements -
• It has, or needs, cleanup banners that are unquestionably still valid. These include{{cleanup}}, {{POV}}, {{unreferenced}} or large numbers of {{citation needed}}, {{clarify}}, or similar tags. (See also {{QF-tags}}). -
• It is not stable due to edit warring on the page. -

• Part of the company's Super Robot Wars series - better would be to say which entry in the Super Robot Wars series it is. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I had considered doing that while writing this. Ultimately, I chose not to, as there's an incredible amount of Super Robot Wars games that writing something like "The twenty-sixth installment" didn't sit well with me.
• is Super Robot Wars GC not notable? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably not. Frankly I haven't done an in-depth search like I did with this game, but all I could find at first glance was a GameSpot preview. I will consider making a page if there's more coverage.
• They aren't "installments", they are games in a series. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've seen the word "installments" be used many times to discuss an entry in a game series, so I don't think it's necessarily incorrect. I can still change it if you insist it doesn't belong there. Namcokid47 23:47, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• increased hardware capabilities and online support - increased from what? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:15, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• is it a "fleet of mechas" as per lede, or "fleet of mecha" in body? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Could we get some ALTtext? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's "fleet of mechas". I made a typo.
• Super Robot Wars GC (2004) - expand "released in 2004" for example. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done.
• pilot cut-in animations - probably "additional animations" would suffice. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Done.
• "a different flavor" - if this is a quote, who said it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Removed the quote and just said they wanted it to be different from the usual style of the series.
• "The Scrap Heap", any reason for title case? Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Defined that it is the collective title she gave to the worst games.
• I feel this article needs a bit more notes on how it sold in comparrison to the original game. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 15:21, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Added that it sold significantly less than GC.
