I'll take this review. Waah! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is very close to GA - just some small changes. My comments are below. Please respond with ((done)) when completed, or reply to the item if you have questions/disagree. I'll place on hold to give you time. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Infobox and lede[edit]

• I would remove the final sentence of the first paragraph: the information about him being Wario's tennis partner and sidekick can be moved to the next paragraph, since it's more about his first appearance than a general statement, while the second half of the sentence is redundant.
• Add a sentence about his most noticeable features (tall and lanky, purple, upside-down L) to the lede.

Concept and creation[edit]

• Absolutely perfect photo choice in this section.
• The second paragraph should be moved later in this section, probably before the last paragraph.
• Waluigi's appearance was designed...: This sentence should be split in two
• Address the "better source needed" tag

Characteristics[edit]

• Consider moving this above the "concept and creation" section
• (gamma) → (an upside-down "L")
• evil-looking is subjective - stick to neutral descriptors unless quoting a source.
• His original role was to be the tennis partner of Wario, but their relationship is ambiguous.: move this to the middle of the next paragraph
• In various Mario sports games...: split this sentence in two

Appearances[edit]

• Clarify that he did not appear in any 2023 games
• After Mario Party 3, he returned as a playable character in every subsequent game in the Mario Party series,: remove the comma after series and move citation to the end of the sentence.
• Make sure that the verb tense matches - some are in past tense here, others in present tense.
• No need to mention the shutdown date for Dr. Mario World

Reception[edit]

• The lede mentions Waluigi being an internet meme, but that's not discussed in this section.
• I'd add a wiktionary link to wikt:colorway, since that's not a terribly common term.

 Done I think all of the above are fixed, but let me know if I have missed anything. Thanks for reviewing. Fieryninja (talk) 12:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
