FA

Original FAC mentorship inquiry

Hey! So, I've been wanting to promote Tracer (Overwatch) to a featured article status for a while now. It's just a feeling I have with this particular article, and it'd be my first time going through this process. So, I went reading through the FAC process and it encourages first-timers to seek a mentor. Seeing how you're listed as one, and seeing how you've been super active on the main Overwatch article (which by the way I think we should nominate for GA-status soon), as well as other articles related to the game, I was wondering if you'd help me out with this FAC process? I'd be happy to listen to any feedback. Thanks for your help! :) Soulbust (talk) 08:07, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

@Soulbust: I can definitely with the guidance for that. The first thing that's probably more useful at this point is to get a copyedit on the article (which is always taken as a plus at FAC) which you can request from WP:LOCE. Three other quick points that I see on a 5-minute look:

• Make sure the references are consistent. For example, some link to the publication, some don't. Whether you do or don't is a matter of taste but it needs to be consistent. Also make sure that publications are consistently formatted (italics).
• The 3rd image (from the short) might be dinged as an unnecessary NFC image. Her infobox is fine, the posing controversy shot is clearly okay because that was a subject of discussion, but that last image seems unnecessary. IF you can support it better (articles discussing her look in the short) that would help.
• I know I added about the LGBT stuff when it was revealed, but I didn't really follow up on that to see how if Blizzard was praised for adding that (knowing how this industry works). You might want to look around for that.

Finally, just double check that you have similar formats to other FA character articles from the VG project. I think you do, but it's been a while since I worked on a character FA so I don't know 100%. --MASEM (t) 15:03, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you so much for the tips & help. I'll be copy+pasting this discussion onto the Tracer talk page for reference. Soulbust (talk) 06:26, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Copyedit request

So I've made request at the Guild of Copy Editors now. Just wikilinking here for any reference needed. Soulbust (talk) 22:56, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

The copyedit has been completed, so I'm just wikilinking here. Soulbust (talk) 01:21, 16 March 2017 (UTC)

2nd copyedit request

As per a suggestion from the peer review, I've requested a further copy edit. And yes, I'm so, so late on this Soulbust (talk) 10:51, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

First appearance

Why is Tracer's first game listed as Heroes of the Storm? Granzymes (talk) 06:36, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

Nevermind, TIL that she was released in HotS a month before the game officially launched! Granzymes (talk) 06:40, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
