  • Video game should be linked in intro
  • " after their success on Assembly demo party. " the demo party needs a little more context. The way it's currently worded made me assume it was some form of game demo, but the wikipedia link actually shows it as an event.
    • "The company was created after their success on the Assembly demo party,[1]the trio won with a multiplayer game called King of the Cabbage World.[6] a Finnish event where gamers and game developers develop and play games in one single place." Two sentence fragments here on the end Fan26 (Talk) 08:31, 30 January 2022 (UTC)
  • "Rovio received a considerable amount of funds" Any information as to from whom? Fan26 (Talk) 17:50, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Game sales probably, unspecified and no more sources available for the topic. All objections addressed but this one. Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Contact) 20:37, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

  • In the intro paragraph, you say the company was founded on November 10, 2003. Please make sure all that information is in the infobox. Right now you just have the year.
  • Remove the period after "Espoo, Finland." If something isn't a sentence, it doesn't need a period.
  • Espoo, Finland, should be hyperlinked to the relevant Wikipedia page.
  • "www." from the official site field in the infobox should be removed.
  • The reference notes for Angry Bird Star Wars and Angry Bird Star Wars II both need italicization since they are game titles.
  • Please hyperlink "Finnish" in the intro to the relevant Wikipedia page.
  • Was the company originally founded as "Relude" or "Relude Oy"? The article is inconsistent on which it is.
  • Much like with the infobox, the quote attribution in the body should not have a period unless it is a complete sentence.
  • Company names should not be italicized, only video game/book/etc. titles.
  • The release of the Angry Bird movies is not relevant as they are not directly related to Star Wars (unless there are Star Wars references, I haven't seen the film.) If there are Star Wars references (and I doubt it), that'll need to be expanded upon in this article.
  • "Original trilogy" should be stylized as "original trilogy." Dentface (talk) 01:07, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Everything addressed. Thank you. Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Contact) 11:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
      • The Wikipedia link to "Finnish" needs to be hyperlinked to the Wikipedia page Finns. It's currently hyperlinked to a disambiguation page.
      • The source you used to cite the founding date in the infobox makes no mention of November, only the year. You will need to find an alternate source to cite the complete founding date. Same goes for the date's mention in the first body paragraph.
      • Please remove the period after "Rovio" for the quote attribution in the "Founding" section. It is not a complete sentence.
      • "original trilogy" should not be italicized.
      • A higher quality and better cropped version of the Rovio logo could probably be found.
      • "Finnish" needs to be hyperlinked to the appropriate Wikipedia page in the 1st body paragraph.
      • See if you can find a quote to use for the "Angry Birds" body paragraph section. Dentface (talk) 16:39, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
        • Everything addressed but your second objection, which will take some time. Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Contact) 21:10, 28 January 2022 (UTC)
          • All objections are now addressed. Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Contact) 10:11, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
  • In the Founding Section, you need a space after the reference note between "November 10," and "2003."
  • Founding section "on Helsinki" > "in Helsinki."
  • Finnish in the Founding section needs to be hyperlinked to Finns' Wikipedia page.
  • In my opinion, I don't think it's relevant that the trio won with a multiplayer game called King of the Cabbage World. That's too far away from the central topic of Star Wars.
  • Star Wars Rebels needs to be italicized.
  • "The Grand Inquisitor" needs to be stylized as "the Grand Inquisitor" because the title is mentioned mid-sentence. If it were at the start of a sentence, then the "The" would be capitalized.
  • In my opinion "From 2012 to 2022" should be changed to "Since 2012." The year 2022 isn't significant Star Wars-wise since the games closed in 2020.
  • I would end the sentence mentioned above at "including Star Wars titles" instead of continuing on past the comma. The article should go in timeline order, so I recommend moving "though most of them were discontinued in late 2020 because they were too old to support technology standards." to its own separate sentence in the bottom paragraph regarding the removal of games from the various app stores.
  • Apple Store needs a capital S.
  • Please try to find as exact a date for the removal of the two SW games as possible. If not, late 2020 works, but being as precise as possible is preferred.
  • In the Gameography section, you need commas between the day and year for each game.
  • In the external links, please put the Official website link above the Wikipedia link and rename it to "Official site" instead of "Rovio's official website."
  • Please add further external links to Rovio's various social media sites. We have external link templates you can use for this. See here. Dentface (talk) 04:38, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
    • Everything adressed. Thank you. (Note: I don't currently find the exact date in which it was discontinued) Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Ah, yes. The negotiator.) 09:06, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
  • You do not need the page hyperlinked in the external links to Facebook and Instagram.
  • Please mention in the body that the Angry Birds Star Wars franchise had multiple books published spinning off from the games. You may not need to mention every single one in-prose though, since they're likely just licensed and credit Rovio by name only. However, if for some reason Rovio has more creative input in those books, that will need to be included in the body.
  • Please add an external link with the {{MobyGames}} template.
  • Please reformat the Gameography section to match how it's setup on the Maxis page. Dentface (talk) 10:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

  • The context about the company's founding through the demo party is unnecessary
  • A couple of SW.com articles in the sources list on Angry Birds Star Wars mentions the company and provides some additional information, including quotes more relevant to Star Wars. Stuff like announcement dates also need to be added too, and the same all needs to be done for the second one
    • Still a lot more detail that needs to be added, like the day the announcements were made, some paraphrasing of the Rovio guys comments. Any StarWars.com article also needs to be listed in the sources section here
  • Context for Star Wars Rebels
  • The Angry Birds books should all be named in the article body Commander Code-8 Hello There! 13:34, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
    • All done, thank you.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 09:59, 15 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Missing some referencing and italics, and its going to be annoying but I think each book will need its release date listed
  • Might be worth describing the gameplay of the Angry Birds games briefly in the founding section
  • The platforms that the games were released on should all be mentioned
  • This official site can go in the external links
  • Can you get a rough date for the games being removed from the app store? Commander Code-8 Hello There! 11:04, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
    • All done, or I believe so, at least. (Including SW.com stuff)— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 13:23, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
  • "Since 2012, they produced several Angry Birds games and spin offs, including Star Wars titles." Generally article bodies don't need to establish upcoming information like this, so this sentence can go
  • "that they thought the new Angry Birds Star Wars products and animated trailers." This sentence is unfinished
  • According to our Angry Birds Star Wars article, the console release came later, which can also be noted in the body
  • Based on the wikipedia pages there were a few more platforms the games were released on
  • The first paragraph of the Angry Birds section needs a bit of restructuring, as in some of the overall info about the game should be mentioned when talking about its announcement
  • There's an Angry Birds wiki so I think it would be more appropriate to link their articles for birds and pigs
  • The shutdown website notes that they would continue supporting the game until the end of 2020, that can be noted
  • In sources, the websites need to be in chronological order where possible Commander Code-8 Hello There! 03:28, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
    • Better? The platforms on Wikipedia are not noted in Rovio's website nor on any official Star Wars website, therefore, I will not add them, as I believe them to be false.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 09:22, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
      • Try searching for the consoles alongside the game and you'll see that those versions have legitimate listings Commander Code-8 Hello There! 08:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
        • Are there any left? — Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 08:24, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
        • Also, the websites have almost no dating, it seems.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 08:43, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
  • The citation you've got for the PS4 and XB1 release dates mentions their expected release in November, which can be included in the article. We also have an article for PlayStation 4 that can be linked
  • Please go through the body and make sure everything is following chronological order. For example the different releases of the first Angry Birds Star Wars came after the sequel's release
  • You've got quite a few instances of exact release dates being sourced to the games and books themselves when they need to be sourced using something like an Amazon or announced release dates.
  • You've got a lot of grammar and formatting errors in the section about the tie-in books, please try to correct those
  • The second SW.com article in Sources has an exact release date so it belongs in a different spot in that list Commander Code-8 Hello There! 12:07, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Last two done.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 16:56, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
      • All done, if I have not missed anything. Thank you for the help.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 17:04, 8 May 2022 (UTC)
  • The sentence about the gameplay of the original Angry Birds game is sourced to Angry Birds Star Wars, when it should be sourced to that original game.
  • The first citation in the Angry Birds Star Wars section doesn't support any of the information in that sentence
  • Info from the announcement article that needs to be included, the fact that Rovio collaborated with LucasArts in developing the game and the various types of merchandise launched on October 28, 2012.
  • The company's alternate names need to be added to the intro and bolded
  • Searching for Angry Birds Star Wars on YouTube turns up a few official videos from the Star Wars and Angry Birds accounts, they can all go in sources Commander Code-8 Hello There! 11:42, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
    • All done. If I have missed any videos, let me know, but I can't find more. — Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 09:17, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
  • None of the Angry Birds creators have wikipedia pages
  • Looking at the couple of books I can access online, they actually have a separate branch called Rovio Books so that would be appropriate for an article.
  • Angry Birds Star Wars (series) is unlinked in the body
  • There's a complete list of all the tie-in videos here, including some you've missed. Make sure you check that wiki's page for the sequel game too
  • There's a book called Angry Birds: Hatching a Universe which has a whole chapter on the Star Wars games Commander Code-8 Hello There! 06:42, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

  • Review note: some important things to keep in mind for future nominations:
    • When pipelinking, always place all characters inside the link brackets (e.g. [[Electrum (Venator-class)|''Electrum'']], not ''[[Electrum (Venator-class)|Electrum]]''; [[TIE/ln space superiority starfighter|TIE fighters]], not [[TIE/ln space superiority starfighter|TIE fighter]]s).
    • HTML should be used instead of select punctuation (e.g. "—" instead of "—," "–" instead of "–," "…" instead of "...").
    • For file links, use the format "300px" rather than "200x200px"
  • Similarly, files and templates need to use underscores in place of spaces (e.g. [[File:Luke_Skywalker.jpg]], not [[File:Luke Skywalker.jpg]]). OOM 224 12:56, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the information; underscores added.— Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol 09:21, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Comments

  • There is no mention of its founding month on any of Rovio's social medias or websites. (Nor in their affiliate's social medias or websites). I sourced it to a page on Rovio of the Finnish Government. Samonic ChissAscendancyCanonSymbol (Contact) 12:55, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
  • As an aside, seeing that in addition to the two games, there are several Angry Birds Star Wars tie-in books, it might be worthwhile to make a page title "Angry Birds Star Wars (series)" that covers the franchise overall (the two games, the books, and any other spinoff material). Once that page is created it would likely need to be factored into the body of Rovio Entertainment. Dentface (talk) 10:12, 14 February 2022 (UTC)
