Reception could be summarized a bit more; for instance, "...remarked on Samuel L. Jackson's character that "I've seen guys at McDonalds that bear better resemblance than the likeness the artists created for this game"" could be "...felt that Samuel L. Jackson's character in this game looked nothing like the actor." or something to that effect.
I cleaned up some redirects and added a caption.

Ultimately I think that the paraphrasing "issue" is not much of an issue, just something I'd recommend fixing. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 12:45, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

a new edition to Wikipedia Good articles, Kudos! first and foremost. Thanks for archiving the sources. I see no issue in using "two months" and not "approximately two months". Nice work and good to go! and I am glad you did not make the hook sexual (due to the infamous use of XXX) FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:49, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
