I have started reviewing this article to determine whether or not it is of GA standard (within my assessment). --TheSandDoctor (talk) 01:36, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for reviewing! Though right off the bat, I'm a little confused- in this edit you convert all the dates from month-day-year to day-month-year "to match conventions"- what conventions are you talking about? Month-day-year is the standard for American dates, and this game was developed by an American company, and the article (re)written by an American editor (me), and I'm not aware of any conventions that dates need to be in the European format. --Pres N 01:54, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@PresN: I find the format weird myself, however, it is the most common convention across Wikipedia (convention I was referring to). If you prefer the other format I could switch it back, it is just the most common one here. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:20, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Result: this article meets the criteria for GA status according to my review. It is well-written, verifiable, broad in its coverage, neutral, stable, and illustrated with images throughout. This article also does not appear to have any copyright infringement and the Earwig report comes back promising (see here). Well done PresN and all other editors who have contributed to this article! --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:27, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@TheSandDoctor: Awesome, thanks! As to the date styles, FYI: it's probably the articles you're usually editing in, then- as per MOS:DATEFORMAT (and the following subsections), both formats are acceptable as long as the article (not including refs) use them consistently, and barring a strong national tie to the subject articles should retain whatever style was originally used. It's been that way as long as I've been here (10+ years). It's not really a big deal either way to me. Anecdotally for me, I see American-style dates more often in articles. --Pres N 02:28, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome PresN. As for your comment, that could very well be correct. I do move around but shall defer to your judgement in that as you have been here a lot longer than I have (about 4 months and counting here haha). Anyhow, I shall switch it back to the format it was before. Sorry for the confusion and happy editing! --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:31, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@PresN: Format has been switched back per your request. --TheSandDoctor (talk) 02:35, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! No worries, happy editing! --Pres N 02:37, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
