Lead
- P2 S2: put a comma next to Super Mario RPG.
Done
Appearances
- P1 S3: comma next to Rose Town
Done
- P1 S5: capitalize gang next to Smithy
Done
- P1 S5-6: replace Bowyer to Bowser
- Comment: Bowyer is the name of a character completely unrelated to Bowser that appears in geno's introduction
- P4 S1: italicize Smash Bros. (you could also change it to either Super Smash Bros.)
Done
- P5 S1: italicize Mario and replaced series with franchise.
Done
Reception
- P1 S2: add 's next to gamer
- Comment: This didn't make sense for to change as the higher stakes aren't something the player already possesses. On that front, I did change the word "gamer" to "player"
- P1 S4: also italicize Mario again
Done
- P1 S5: he is hoping for a return of the character and hoping that he may show up as fighter in the Super Smash Bros. series. is full of unclear and not so concise writing. I suggest this sentence be re-written into he is hoping that the character could return as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series.
Done Comment: I did change this up to keep the beginning half of the sentence to make it clearer to the reader that this was a separate wish
- P2 S4: comma next to roles and a quotation at the end of the sentence according to the cited source.
Done Added the comma, though there already was a quotation mark at the end of the sentence so I wasn't sure what to do here.
- P2 S5: italicize Shacknews
Done
- P3 S2: comma next to 2019.
Done
- P3 S2: italicize Mario and removed series.
Done
- P3 S3: Add the between with and Nintendo.
Done
- P3 S7: italicize Super Smash Bros.
Done
- P4 S1: replace have with has.
- Comment: I did a spell check here and "have" is the correct grammar here.
I will add more soon but this is what for now. NatwonTSGTALK 07:27, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: in the appearances section, what do you means by writing that Geno and the rest of the part which confused me so can you clarify it. NatwonTSGTALK 14:55, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- This has now been corrected. CaptainGalaxy 16:32, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
Final comments
@Captain Galaxy there's not much for that needs to be clarifying and I wanted to promote this article to GA however, you told me that you're currently asking for a second opinion in the review so do you agreed I should promote the article to GA or put on hold.

- Hey @Captain Galaxy, It has been a while since I had done my review for this article and I could do a second review on the weekend with the knowledge I learned from my GAN so. NatwonTSGTALK 20:51, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hey Natwon, don't worry I have a second opinion. They are just currently a bit busy, I'll message them. CaptainGalaxy 20:58, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
GA 2nd Review
Hello, I'll take on this second opinion review. I'll see if I can't get to it either later today or tomorrow, so ping me if I haven't done it by then. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:20, 10 August 2024 (UTC)
Six GA Criteria
1. Article is well-written. Very minimal mistakes if any at all.
2. No OR, all info is cited in the article.
3. Coverage is broad in depth and focus. Shows multiple aspects of the character.
4. Article appears neutral, and does not appear to hold a significantly negative nor positive stance on the subject.
5. Article appears stable. Does not appear to have had any major vandalism occur.
6. Article uses two fair use images with proper rationale.
Lead
-Looks good
Character design
-"In an issue of Nintendo Power, Geno is described as being "Pinocchio" according to Square." I am confused what this is supposed to mean in this context.
Done
Appearances
-What does "Star Riders" do?
Done
Critical Reception
-"Later in the article, Minotti says that he is hoping for a return of the character to the franchise as well as appearing as a playable character in the Super Smash Bros. series." I feel this can be trimmed to "Minotti stated that he hoped for the return of the character to the franchise and for the character to appear in the Super Smash Bros. series."
Done
-"Fans have expressed their appreciation for the character through different avenues, including art, through platforms such as Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter." Reword, as it is currently an incomplete sentence.
Done
Overall
-Looks pretty solid. Fix the above nitpicks and this should be good to go. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 00:13, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for the second opinion review, I have gone ahead and implemented these changes. CaptainGalaxy 07:40, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Captain Galaxy I feel the Pinocchio statement is better off being removed given it doesn't add much to the Conception and design section. Once that is done, I feel this should be good to go. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:39, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
@NatwonTSG2: Ok the second opinion review is finished. It's up to you if you want to pass this or continue. CaptainGalaxy 16:52, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
