• What an unexpected thing to learn about! New enough and long enough. QPQ present. Hook fact checks out in article and in source. I'm unsure of the source quality... Is Voskuil/Before Mario a subject matter expert? I'd like an answer on that before I promote, RickyCourtney. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 17:59, 27 March 2025 (UTC)
  • @Sammi Brie: I’m glad you enjoyed it! Erik Voskuil is a subject matter expert cited by PC Magazine and IGN. The BeforeMario.com blog was the basis of the book Before Mario which was well reviewed and Voskuil continues to use the blog as an extension of that book. Hope that helps! -- RickyCourtney (talk) 05:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)
    • I'm only seeing this now since you didn't ping in the same edit as the timestamp, RickyCourtney. That is a satisfying response on the SME, and he's actually properly published. Good to go. Sammi Brie (she/her · t · c) 06:53, 10 April 2025 (UTC)
