I'll take this review. Waah! Pi.1415926535 (talk) 22:39, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is very close to GA - just some small changes. My comments are below. Please respond with {{done}} when completed, or reply to the item if you have questions/disagree. I'll place on hold to give you time. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 01:00, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lede

I would remove the final sentence of the first paragraph: the information about him being Wario's tennis partner and sidekick can be moved to the next paragraph, since it's more about his first appearance than a general statement, while the second half of the sentence is redundant.
Add a sentence about his most noticeable features (tall and lanky, purple, upside-down L) to the lede.

Concept and creation

Absolutely perfect photo choice in this section.
The second paragraph should be moved later in this section, probably before the last paragraph.
Waluigi's appearance was designed...: This sentence should be split in two
Address the "better source needed" tag

Characteristics

Consider moving this above the "concept and creation" section
(gamma) → (an upside-down "L")
evil-looking is subjective - stick to neutral descriptors unless quoting a source.
His original role was to be the tennis partner of Wario, but their relationship is ambiguous.: move this to the middle of the next paragraph
In various Mario sports games...: split this sentence in two

Appearances

Clarify that he did not appear in any 2023 games
After Mario Party 3, he returned as a playable character in every subsequent game in the Mario Party series,: remove the comma after series and move citation to the end of the sentence.
Make sure that the verb tense matches - some are in past tense here, others in present tense.
No need to mention the shutdown date for Dr. Mario World

Reception

The lede mentions Waluigi being an internet meme, but that's not discussed in this section.
I'd add a wiktionary link to wikt:colorway, since that's not a terribly common term.

Done I think all of the above are fixed, but let me know if I have missed anything. Thanks for reviewing. Fieryninja (talk) 12:57, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
