Shadow Hearts

Shadow Hearts is a series of role-playing video games developed by Sacnoth (later renamed Nautilus) and released between 1999 and 2005. The series originates with the title Koudelka, from which the universe and some characters of Shadow Hearts titles are drawn. The series has retained a following due to its gameplay design and blended use of alternate history and Lovecraftian horror.

Enough commentary and attention was given to each game, the series and its music that an article exists for each. All articles related to the series are at GA level, a process which has taken some time due to other commitments and occasional difficulties finding sources. This series is unlikely to see any additions for some time, if at all, as the original studio has ceased to exist and its developers are mostly scattered to other studios or ventures, so the topic will likely remain stable. While it is less prominent than other gaming titles of its day, it has received attention from game critics and was successful in its time. Due to its status as the series origin, I believe Koudelka does belong as part of this topic despite not sharing the series title. --ProtoDrake (talk) 21:31, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support. Had a look at the parent article and everything which could be included here is. Tied together with a category and navbox, everything's at the requisite quality. ᵹʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 21:46, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support with the slight disclaimer that I think Sacnoth/Nautilus probably deserves to eventually be part of the topic - the vast, vast majority of their notable work was on this series. That said, the topic is fine without it, so I don't think it's a mandatory inclusion. (And agree with ProtoDrake that Koudelka should definitely be included, it's the same universe & everything.)

• Support: Looks like the series and all the titles at GA, together with the music article, all joined by a navbox and category. I'd probably rearrange the links in the GT box to be in chronological order (I'd use three columns, with two games in each of the first two columns and the music article in the third). -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 22:43, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support: I agree with everybody here, including Koudelka being part of the topic. Roberth Martinez (talk) 01:58, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support: Agreeing with previous comments - nicely done.--Alexandra^IDV 06:08, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support: Happy to support. Good work, as always. OceanHok (talk) 17:26, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
• Comment Great work on these articles. I have been piece of feedback: Are you able to fill in the "trans-title" parameter on references that have titles in Japanese as I noticed some do not have it filled in.  Spy-cicle💥  ^Talk? 15:14, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
  • @Spy-cicle: Only Koudelka had a trans-title usage, so I decided to remove it. I don't have the time or energy to put trans-titles in all those articles in a short time. Apologies. --ProtoDrake (talk) 16:05, 19 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support Comments remove or replace GeekGamer.it since it is unreliable due to having members of staff, also are you sure about the reliability of VGMdb and Behind The Voice Actors since the former appears to be similar to IMDb and the latter does not look like it has a proper editorial process. Furthermore, the lead of Shadow Hearts says the chronology extends from the late 1880s but the earliest period mentioned in the body is the 1890s, so this has gotta be fixed; elsewise, very hard work on these informative articles and the images are definitely worthy additions! --K. Peake 08:26, 24 November 2021 (UTC)
  • @Kyle Peake: Fixed the lead mistake, removed BtVA (wasn't my addition anyway). VGmDB has been accepted on other GAs I've worked on for music articles when referencing findable but otherwise uncitable information about release dates. As to GeekGamer, if there were another source I'd have used it, but this seems to be a legitimate interview (and the only one available) with Machida and Kato about the series going into such detail. I treated it similar to Final Fantasy fansite interviews, which are technically admissible when no other source is available. Also the GeekGamer article (and associated video version), was referenced by other reliable sites, and the GAN reviewers didn't seem to mind it, so I felt more comfortable including it. If I do have to remove it, it will gut the development sections. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:05, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

1909 Atlantic hurricane season

The 1909 Atlantic hurricane season was a destructive year with all but one of the 13 known tropical cyclones impacting land. Collectively, these storms killed at least 4,673 people and caused more than US$77.3 million in damage. Haiti, Mexico, and the United States were especially hard-hit, each seeing hundreds to thousands of fatalities. In July, a Category 3 hurricane struck Texas, killing 41 people. Another major hurricane in August inflicted catastrophic damage in and around Monterrey, Mexico, and was one of the deadliest on record in the Atlantic hurricane basin, killing an estimated 4,000 people in the country. The season's third major hurricane struck Cuba and Louisiana in September, killing an estimated 400 people. In October, the year's final major hurricane caused significant damage in western Cuba and southern Florida. The season ended with a Category 2 hurricane that produced prolific rainfall across the Greater Antilles, killing at least 198 people.

This destructive early 20th century season has been ready for nominating for a few years, with all of the articles being up to par. This was a collective effort between 12george1, TheAustinMan, and myself. --~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 20:06, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

• Support: Looks like all the notable hurricanes and the season article at GA, with a navbox (which I cleaned up to include all the links) and category. Great work! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 20:24, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
• Support Comments in the main article, merge the first and second sentences of the second para in the Tropical Storm Three sub-section by using a semi-colon and center the refs in the column, removing the full-stop before a group of them. A merge can also be done of the second and third sentences in the impact section of 1909 Grand Isle hurricane, adding a comma followed by "while" to do so. I also take issue with a ref in the infobox of 1909 Florida Keys hurricane since even though the fatalities figure belongs there, you can write this out in the impact section of the body at the end. Besides these issues, great job on finding this much info about the hurricanes from reliable sources, also the summary is really well-written with the references to each article! --K. Peake 09:12, 19 October 2021 (UTC)

  Hi Cyclonebiskit, did you have a chance to address Kyle's comments above? – Aza24 (talk) 00:58, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

  Aza24, I have taken care of these comments for him. TropicalAnalystwx13 (talk · contributions) 03:23, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

  That is very dedicated of you to have handled these issues, even if it has come at a late stage in time! --K. Peake 17:13, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• Support. Looks complete—obviously not every hurricane has an article but looking at the main season article I can't see any that don't have one and would warrant it, this seems as complete in scope as notability permits. 𝄠ʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ꭗ 16:04, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

Like a Prayer

Like a Prayer is the fourth studio album by American singer-songwriter Madonna, released on March 21, 1989, by Sire Records. It was met with universal acclaim from music critics, who praised the songwriting and recognized Madonna's increased artistic merit. Commercially, the album was an international success, reaching the top of the charts in 20 countries, including the United States and United Kingdom. Six accompanying singles were released, with the title track becoming her seventh number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100; second single "Express Yourself" peaked at number two. With the singles' music videos, Madonna furthered her creativity and became known as a leading figure in the format. The music video for "Like a Prayer" led to significant religious controversy, using Catholic iconography such as stigmata and burning crosses, and leading the Vatican to condemn it. The video for "Express Yourself" was the most expensive video at the time of its release. The album was promoted on Madonna's ground-breaking Blond Ambition World Tour in 1990. At the end of the 1980s, following the release of the album, Madonna was named artist of the decade by several publications.

• Comment AllMusic is not italicized. On "Like a Prayer" and on "Keep It Together" the website "medium" is not reliable. "www.bac-lac.gc.ca.", " www.officialcharts.com" and "www.rhino.com" → fix on the album. uDiscover music is under the umbrella of Universal, therefore it might be some bias.

Interstate 82

Interstate 82 (I-82) is an Interstate Highway in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States that passes through parts of Washington and Oregon. It passes through Yakima, the Yakima Valley agricultural region, and the Tri-Cities area, also serving as part of the link between Seattle and Boise, Idaho. The highway has three auxiliary routes, all in Washington: I-182, connecting to parts of the Tri-Cities; State Route 821, traversing part of the Yakima River Canyon; and State Route 823, a short highway connecting Yakima to Selah.

The three "children" highways related to Interstate 82 (one Interstate, two state routes) are now good articles, so this should satisfy the GT criteria. All four articles were written to modern highway guidelines and are among my finest work, and just about cover everything there is to know about Interstate 82. Fun fact: This highway probably carried some of the hops used in the last American beer you drank, as the Yakima Valley provides 73 percent of the nation's crop. --SounderBruce 06:18, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

• Support Comments I am unsure about the usage of Port of Grandview for Interstate 82; what makes the source reliable? Also, the ref for the beginning of existence date is not needed in Interstate 182's infobox since that is written out in the body and ref 25 of Washington State Route 823 needs formatting fixes due to chapter-url showing up as needing a check. This will not be required for me to place my eventual support behind the GT, but I would recommend beefing up the second para of this nomination slightly; the topic is heavily detailed and all of the articles have reached their statuses properly! --K. Peake 21:50, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
  • @Kyle Peake: Thanks for the feedback. I've replaced the Grandview citation and fixed the other errors. SounderBruce 02:18, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support: I'm a little unclear about the scope, but I suppose it seems coherent enough. It's got a navbox linking them all, though no category structure. The articles are excellent, certainly! -Bryan Rutherford (talk) 14:26, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Support, wow, Interstate 82 has one of the shortest FAC reviews I've ever seen. Good Job! Panini!^🥪 13:19, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
