# Talk:Valkyrie no Densetsu

Perhaps a page should be created for Sandra/Xandra/Whirlo. I was looking for information on Whirlo after having beaten the game and there's nothing on wikipedia about him. A good place to reference some information (how I found my way to this wikipage) is in this link:

This review is transcluded from Talk:Valkyrie no Densetsu/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

I'll see if I can do this one for you.  I see it's been waiting over three months, and I know what it's like to have an article wait a long time for review.  No better way to kick off a GA backlog drive than to hit some longer-waiting articles.  Red Phoenix talk 15:17, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of this one, I knew it'd get reviewed eventually. This is one of my personal favorite Namco games, so I'm pretty proud of what I've done here. Namcokid47 (Contribs) 15:43, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
Good work as usual, Namcokid47.  Not a lot that I see, but here's what I have for you:

For reference 2 (Shmuplations): I would cite the actual source (Hippon Super, January 1991 issue) but leave the url and fill in Shmuplations in the "via" parameter. Since Shmuplations translates and republishes content, doing it this way would help establish the reliability of the reference and still leave the text available to read.
Ahhh, that{' how you do it. I was trying to figure out how to do that for a while but wasn't able to get a solution. Fixed.
For reference 4 (KLOV): Killer List of Videogames is a reliable source, but unfortunately it's not one for arcade system boards.  If you click the "Conversion class" link where it says "Namco System 2", and then scroll down, it says "NOTE: Conversion class and pin-out data is contributed by the community and although is believed to be correct (most of the time), has not been tested or verified. Use this information at your own risk." - If reference 3 covers this, I'd just leave 4 out or put it in as an external link so it's still there for readers.
The Japanese book lists the hardware it ran on, so I just ditched the KLOV source entirely and linked it to there.
I will gently let you know about WP:REPCITE, but that will be the last time I mention it in any GA reviews of your articles, and only because I wasn't sure if you had seen it in my last review.
Certain areas of the game will require knowledge of Japanese to progress through, most notably with the wizard Babasama and a quiz towards the beginning of the fifth area. So, it goes without saying I can't read Japanese.  Is this in the source directly or is it inferred?  Just concerned we don't go over the WP:OR line here.
This was inferred, I don't know why I sourced it to the manual.
Also, I'm seriously doubting that NECRetro has permission to reprint the manual.  The manual is still as valid a source as there is, but I would remove the link as linking to a copyright violation.  (I'm not concerned about Shmuplations, as it's a translation without reprinting actual pages and makes full claim as to where it comes from).
Got rid of it.
Valkyrie no Densetsu was released in Japan by Namco in April 1989, running on the Namco System 2 arcade hardware. How come this is in the last line of development when there is a release section below it?  I would think the arcade release counts as a release.
Moved to the Release section.
Jeuxvideo review commentary should mention the reviewer's name, but all the rest look good.
Added the author's name (well, nickname).
Everything else looks good to me. Prose looks like it's in great shape.  Fantastic article.  Red Phoenix talk 15:45, 2 April 2020 (UTC)

@Red Phoenix:: Corrected everything.
Everything looks good, so I’m ready to pass this article.  Well done. Red Phoenix talk 19:18, 2 April 2020 (UTC)
