Hi. I'll review this article. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 00:22, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

I'll continue with the rest of the review tommorow. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 11:58, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

Alright, I think I'm done, @Kung Fu Man:. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 23:01, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

@Alexeyevitch I think I got everything. Coleman doens't appear notable on his own (also as is, I believe most would undo a redlink if we did leave it). I wasn't sure about the IDENTITY bit though? As for the thesis, it was cited by a published paper that's also cited in this article, and is a master's thesis, so I do feel it has a bit more merit in that regard to help provide a clear picture.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 21:02, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

MOS:IDENTITY is esentially like referring to people by ethnicity rather by nationality (e.g. African American, instead of simply American). I remember seeing another user talking about it years ago. It's not a dealbreaker for GA though. Alexeyevitch^(talk) 22:46, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

1. Well-written:
	1a. the prose is clear, concise, and understandable to an appropriately broad audience; spelling and grammar are correct.	King Dice was well received for his portrayal as a smooth individual and his swagger - this sounds opinionated and vague to my mind. I also think "swagger" should be replaced as it as uncommon word. He serves as the game's secondary antagonist, working directly under its villain the Devil [...] - this phrasing sounds unnatural [...] provided several different voices and sounds for them to narrow down - can you clarify who "them" is in this sentence. In additional to the song [...] - typo His head a large six-sided die with [...] - missing 'is' specially attention [...] - I'm unsure what that means [...] helped flesh out Dice's identity - replace "flesh out" with "define". [...] collaborate they ideas [...] - typo For his introduction, they wanted to recreate the feel of rotoscoped animation [...] - you should specify who you're referring to here. right now it is unclear. Scogging - typo [...] as an means [...] - typo Bowling Green State University Professor Patricia Rose McKow Schuelke in a thesis [...] - too lengthy Wayne Brady's portrayal of him as a "charismatic yet sleazy game show host" spot on. - what does "spot on" mean here
	1b. it complies with the Manual of Style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation.	If Joseph Coleman is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article, a WP:REDLINK would be suitable. MOS:IDENTITY (for the first part in § Conception and design) MOS:DECADE (use 1930s, not 1930's)
2. Verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check:
	2a. it contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline.	Yes
	2b. reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose).	References are mostly reliable, although there is one reference which is a thesis, which are discouraged on Wikipedia [5] should have a direct link to the YouTube video.
	2c. it contains no original research.	Spotcheck [1] check [2] check [3] check [4] check [5] check [6] check [9] check [16] check [17] check
	2d. it contains no copyright violations or plagiarism.	Earwig shows some similarity between some sentences, but I don't think this constitutes as close paraphrasing. I didn't find anything of interest on the spotcheck.
3. Broad in its coverage:
	3a. it addresses the main aspects of the topic.	Yes
	3b. it stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style).	Yes
	4. Neutral: it represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each.	Yes
	5. Stable: it does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute.	Article is stable with no ongoing edit wars
6. Illustrated, if possible, by media such as images, video, or audio:
	6a. media are tagged with their copyright statuses, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content.	Fair Use media contains the disclaimer. File:Cuphead-KingDice.png Fair Use Y File:Cab Calloway.jpg PD Y File:Clark Gable 1938.jpg PD Y File:Cuphead-KingDice.ogg Fair Use Y
	6b. media are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions.	Article contains relevant media and sufficient captions.
	7. Overall assessment.
