I will be doing this review

Immediate failure

1. Its pretty close to all of the criteria 2. Earwig doesnt bring up and major problems, a few things that come up are quotes that have to be verbatim. 3. No maintence tags. 4. Page is stable, no persistent vandalism . 5. No previous nominations ✓ Pass

Good Article

Well-written

In the plot summary why is Wymoning not linked? Other locations are linked but Wymoning isnt a country its a state. I can fix this myself

Other than that I see no issues.

✓ Pass

Verifiable

I have randomly selected sources 14, 17 and 41 for a spot check. (based on this revision [1])

While looking over the sources I found a use of Kotaku from 2023 which is after they begun using ai. WP:VGRS says that not all post 2023 articles are unrelialbe and should be examined on a case by case basis. So I will looking into the article to take a look, then posting it to WP:RSN

Kotaku and Metro after brining it up here it was deemed that in this context the Kotaku and Metro sources are okay to be used here.

Spotchecks

REF 14

Claim:

Madeline Carpou of The Mary Sue felt its inclusion reflected Ellie's character arc: her actions in the episode set her down a path towards the events of Part II.

Source:

Last of Us’ Episode 4 Ending Song Is a Deeply Meaningful Easter Egg

Proven by source:

The review spends a good amount of time discussing Part II and how Ellie is moving towards that path and how the music of the episode connects to it.

Backed up by other sources:

Its a review this is not really necesary.

REF 17

Claim:

Jeffrey Pierce's casting as Perry was announced on July 15. Pierce previously portrayed Tommy in the video games

Source:

Last Of Us’: Jeffrey Pierce, Murray Bartlett, Con O’Neill Join HBO Series Based On Video Game

Proven by source: Opening line talks about his role in the game and in the show.
Backed up by other sources: This EW article Pierce, Melanie Lynskey's right-hand man in The Last of Us, supports costar against critics while it isnt the main topic it is also stating this fact.

REF 41

Claim:

Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey's performances as Joel and Ellie were praised;

Source:

Last of Us’ Welcomes a ‘Yellowjackets’ Star, Who’s Out for Blood

Proven by source: A good bit of the article that praises the two.
Backed up by other sources: It was paried with two other sources that also praised the preformance

✓ Pass

Broad in coverage

The plot section is 380 words twenty under the 400 word limit.

Stays on topic for the whole thing the closet to a tangent would be the the end of the "Conception and writing" section but even then it still connects back.

✓ Pass

Neutral

Nothing seems to praisy. I would note that in "critical reception" it says "Lynskey's performance received praise" then shows three reviews prasing her. The article then details some of the praise where half of the selected examples are somewhat negative. I have slightly adjusted the language.

✓ Pass

Stable

• No edit wars or major vandalsim on the page recently. ✓ Pass

Illustrated

The page uses 5 images they are: A still frame from the episode(free use), an image of Hank Williams (commons), an image of Melanie Lynskey (commons), an image of Pedro Pascal (commons), and an image of Bella Ramsey (commons).

1. The still is fairly used and attributed. It is a key moment of the episode
2. Hank Williams I understand the use of as his song is important to the episode. I would say use an image related to the song and not Williams but as there is no images for it, its fine.
3. The images of Lynskey, Pascal, and Ramsey are all from Commons. I would argue against all three of them but I struggle on deciding who I would recommend to cut so I would say just leave it.

✓ Pass
