Special:Diff/1344346669 is a bad decline; not only is it not in policy it is rude. Please be more considerate in the future. Primefac (talk) 16:00, 20 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Tarlby. I saw your efforts to get Rain World to FA status a bit late so am doing a check of the article independent of the FA process. I have a question, why is ref 45 marked as "deviated"? --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 16:09, 20 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't done a prose review yet but have some initial suggestions. Sorry if you don't want these comments. 1) The downloadable content subsection has a 1 line paragraph about the watcher. This is not ideal, could you make it two lines minimum? The sources mention more than what is in the article. 2) In the same paragraph, see WP:TITULAR. This is only an essay so doesn't have to be followed like the MoS, but the advice is still good. 3) In the FAC you wrote there is no reception on the watcher. Is this source any good? --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 10:00, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Additional comments. 4) At the start of the last paragraph in #Development, the article quotes "believable" when the source says "believability". I've fixed other instances of misquoting but I don't want to mess up the prose here. 5) #Art design has a small MOS:SEAOFBLUE issue with the links "sci-fi" and "epic". I've made many small changes and fixes, and I'm sorry to bother about this small detail instead of fixing it, but I don't know which link is most relevant or what way it could be rephrased as to keep both links.

Overall great work on this article and if you're going to nominate it at FAC again I'd definitely support. Great prose especially. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 17:23, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for checking this out! I'll answer these points in just a minute. toby ^{(t)(c)(rw)(omo)} 17:33, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

0) Don't know why ref 45 is deviated to be honest. If I were to take a wild guess, maybe its because the gif embeds no longer display on the page, but it's not like the archived version has them either so I'll remove the deviated mark.
1) Frustratingly, the sources seem bloated but happen to discuss nothing concerning the Watcher's actual gameplay; this one sentence is the most I could write on it. I've scoured the internet before for reliable sourcing on Watcher gameplay so I don't believe any exist, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong!
2) This advice seems reasonable. I've changed it now.
3) I've skipped over this source from my searches. I've never seen it used in an article before and it is not listed in WP:VGRS and WP:RSP. Sources gotta be high-quality, so I'd rather be cautious and not use it for now. If you can point to me where GameLuster has been used in other Featured Articles, I'd be happy to add it.
4) I've checked and it looks fine.
5) I've unlinked some stuff.

Thanks for the support. I'm planning on nominating it again by the time I'm not too busy anymore, lol. toby ^{(t)(c)(rw)(omo)} 18:00, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

3) If you don't think that source is high-quality enough for a Featured Article, don't use it. I'm not an expert on video game sources. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 18:47, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

1) PCGamesN (ref 18) says nothing, but PC Gamer (ref 23) says stuff like the Watcher has to find "mysterious echoes of itself, which will require you to check out all kinds of new places on the map", and calls it "a sprawling expansion compared to the prior one in terms of sheer areas", which is more detailed than what's currently in the article, "adding regions". You could add details like this, but maybe that's over-relying on speculation, so this suggestion is a very hesitant one. --not-cheesewhisk3rs ≽^•⩊•^≼ ∫ (pester) 19:30, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I used to have a sentence there utilizing that part but I was told to remove it due to a lack of gameplay content to support it. toby ^{(t)(c)(rw)(omo)} 20:00, 21 March 2026 (UTC)[reply]
