Never understood about this RPG character right here
editIs there a reason why this RPG character has his own article right here? 2804:14D:1481:43D6:D9A5:8CA:E695:25EB (talk) 02:32, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- Read the reception section.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 03:39, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
- How come Diddy Kong got redirected yet Geno Stays, is it because the game industry is full of Geno fans while ignoring Diddy Kong? 77.103.193.166 (talk) 19:16, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
- It's because Diddy Kong fails to have to be notability while for Geno, many reliable sources discuss mainly about him so NatwonTSGTALK 15:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- 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.

- P2 S4: comma next to roles and a quotation at the end of the sentence according to the cited source.

- 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
edit@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.
NatwonTSGTALK 14:40, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
- 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
editHello, 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)

Lead
edit-Looks good
Character design
edit-"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
edit-What does "Star Riders" do?
- Done
Critical Reception
edit-"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
edit-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)
