I will review this one. A.Cython(talk) 19:29, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

@A.Cython: Thank you so much! There's no rush at all if you need some time before you start your review 🙂 Cheers! Johnson524 20:41, 13 February 2026 (UTC)

I enjoyed reading the biography of one of the players of Tetris, this brought back memories from childhood. I think the article can become a GA after some issues are addressed. Nothing major but still. A.Cython(talk) 01:12, 14 February 2026 (UTC)

@A.Cython: I'm glad to hear that! The corrections should all be done now, no pushback on anything. If there's anything else you'd like addressed or changed please let me know! Johnson524 07:27, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Various

• No edit wars
• Neutral
• Figures look ok with appropriate figure captions
• No copyright, Earwig's Copyvio Detector gives at most 16%
• (optional and not sure about policy) Consider adding the following reference at the "External links" section, i.e.,
  • "After 34 Years, Someone Finally Beat Tetris" on YouTube

Structure

We want to avoid 1–2 sentence paragraphs, so

• Merge the last sentence in the lead with the previous paragraph
• I am not convinced that there is sufficient material for having a section "Personal life". Merge the info with the Tetris Career.

    • I made a couple minor copyedits, in general we avoid subjective terms.A.Cython(talk) 15:50, 16 February 2026 (UTC)

Prose

• He soon after began → "He began"
• of highest winning → "of the highest winning"
• of which being the → "is the"
• individual person to win → "individual to win"
• Gibson competed in and → "Gibson competed and"
• 2022 only list the → "2022 list only the" (move "only")
• Section "Notes", make sure every entry starts with a capital and ends with a full stop.
• add wikilink to YouTube one time in the lead and one more in the main body.
• remove acronym in the lead, i.e., CTM. If you do not use the acronym then do not define it.
• reach level 146: the first glitched → reach level 146, where the first glitched
• Tolt commented that victory can be achieved by outlasting an opponent because → remove "by outlasting an opponent" you have mentioned it above so it is redundant.

Sources

• Spot check: 1, 3, 4, 8, 15, 20, 38

Issues

• Tolt is an American who lives in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. citation #1 provides the info about PA as the state where he is from but not citizenship. Consider rewriting, suggesting something like "Tolt lives in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania." Otherwise, include a citation that explicitly provides this info.
