I'll take this one for review, and starting to expand my scope from strictly film and TV articles to assess character-specific ones as well. I should get back to you with some thoughts soon. - adamstom97 (talk) 23:12, 15 July 2018 (UTC)
Sorry for the delay. Here are my thoughts on initial things that should be improved for the article to be promoted to GA:

The caption in the infobox doesn't need to repeat that he is a Shrek character.
I am generally against the term "fictional character", and would note that the Wikipedia article of that name has actually been redirected to the much better "character".
Is there a better way of indicating who has voiced the character when than having all of the film names in parentheses like that?
Are there more details about the TV series and the characters development in it, etc. The article almost completely ignores it.
Other than those, I would recommend that a request be put in for this article to be copy-edited at Wikipedia:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests, as I feel like the writing in general could do with a bit of improvement to get up to GA standard. Having a third party go through the content wouldn't hurt either. Let me know how you get on with these and if you have any questions. - adamstom97 (talk) 06:33, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97: Hello and thank you for providing the review! First of all, I deeply apologise for the delayed reply. Second, I have been trying the last few days to address the comments listed above. I rephrased Puss's description from the infobox, removed the word "fictional", and tried to make the "Voiced by" part from the infobox more easily readable. I also added information regarding Puss's development and characterisation in The Adventures of Puss in Boots based on interviews with the executive producer of the TV series, Doug Langdale. I added information regarding Eric Bauza, Puss's voice actor in the series, as well. Besides these, I will of course place a request for this article to be copy-edited if this is a requirement for obtaining the GA status. However, it might take a while for the request to be completed. Flowerpiep (talk) 13:51, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Flowerpiep

I am happy to leave the review on hold until the copy-edit is complete, as the article is close to GA status in my opinion and a pass by a copy-editor would hopefully get it over the line. - adamstom97 (talk) 21:38, 31 July 2018 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97: Okay! I placed the request. I hope a copy-editor will start looking over the article soon. Flowerpiep (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Flowerpiep
Thank you to @Miniapolis for the copy-edit of the article! @Flowerpiep can you check over the article now and ensure that the fix-ups you previously made have been retained? When you are happy with the state of the article, I will take another look at it. - adamstom97 (talk) 03:54, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
@Adamstom.97: Of course, I have just finished looking over the article and making some edits. The fix-ups mentioned above have been maintained. Flowerpiep (talk) 14:10, 21 August 2018 (UTC)Flowerpiep
