Hello. This is my first GA review ever, hope I'm not doing anything wrong here.

GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

Is it well written?
A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
I made some fixes to the prose, but you can revert them if you disagree. One more fix that I suggest: dropping "of them" in "While its predecessor used five keys, the IIDX controller had seven of them". I believe it is unnecessary.

B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
Regarding layout, I have a problem with the two images used in "Development and release". They are occupying too much horizontal space in the section, and I am also questioning if the images are relevant to this specific section.
Is it verifiable with no original research?
A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:

B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:
Are you sure there are no secondary sources to replace the primary sources [1] and [8]?

C. It contains no original research:
The infobox have unsourced information for Director(s), Producer(s), Composer(s), CPU, Sound and Display.

D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:
Is it broad in its coverage?
A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:
The Reception and legacy section should say something about the Beatmania IIDX series that the game spawned. I also believe you should explain how the 4 Keys, 5 Keys, and 7 Keys modes work, even if self-explanatory.

B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):
Is it neutral?
It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:
Is it stable?
It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:
Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:

B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:
Overall:
Pass or Fail:
On hold until the concerns are answered. GhostP. ^talk 00:11, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm starting to solve the concerns at this point. Good job reviewing this. «=-ias postb□x+=» 04:27, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I replaced Konami's Beatmania III page with a Hardcore Gaming 101 page about Beatmania III. I added a "cite video game" reference pointing to this Beatmania IIDX game, the new ref (the one using the Cite video game template) should make the gameplay information easier to understand now; the Expert and Internet Rankings features are proven to exist by the new ref. The ""overall on beatmania IIDX" source is suitable for the "Development and release" section, I am certain it explains some information correctly. «=-ias postb□x+=» 05:02, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Passing. Great job! GhostP. ^talk 13:03, 7 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
