This article is about a main character from the Resident Evil game and film series; who is known for punching a boulder at the active volcano in video games.

After Aoba47, Crisco, and Shapeyness (from their talk page) peer reviewed the article I feel like the article has improved a lot. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 13:43, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Prose comments:

Video game magazines have been polarized in their critiques of the character, - Pretty sure it's not just magazines. Journalism is not synonymous with magazine.

Some critics have referred to a scene of Chris punching a boulder in Resident Evil 5 (2009) as one of the most memorable within the Resident Evil series, which was also subjected to internet memes. - "Which was ..." is a dangling modifier and could be read as "the series was also subjected to internet memes", which is true but not what you intended here.
Replaced to "Which is" 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 22:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Rearranged like this — Chris Woodrich (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chris joined the special operations unit of the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.). - Isn't S.T.A.R.S. the spec-ops unit of the RPD? I'd rephrase this as "Chris joined the Special Tactics and Rescue Service (S.T.A.R.S.), a special operations unit of the Raccoon Police Department.

Character designer Tsutomu Kawade noted that Chris' signature was his powerful arms, and they were aware of that. His concept color is green, and Kawade wanted it to be visible, so they designed his attire in blue-tinted green. - These sentences are clunky. Perhaps something like "Character designer Tsutomu Kawade noted that the team was aware of Chris' powerful arms being his most distinctive feature. Their design thus accentuated his arms, with attire in blue-tinted green that continued his concept color."?

photo realistic depiction - isn't photorealistic one word?
Done 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 22:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
According to the director of Resident Evil Village, Kento Kinoshita, the production team initially had a different plan for the game's downloadable content (DLC); Kinoshita said that the crew initially preferred a DLC with Rose Winters as the main character, rather than with Chris rejoining the action. - This doesn't really segue with the rest of the paragraph. Also, it doesn't really communicate that a Chris-based DLC was initially discussed.
I guess it doesn't habe enough detail, so I ended uo removing it. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 22:00, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aoba47

I would remove the second comma in this sentence: (Several actors have portrayed Chris, including Wentworth Miller and Robbie Amell, in the live-action Resident Evil films.) It does change the meaning. With the second comma, it is saying that several actors have played Chris in the live-action films with Miller and Amell as just two examples. Without that comma, it is saying that several actors have played this character, including these two live-action instances. I'd go for the meaning without the comma.

For this part, (with particular focus on the frequent modifications to his design and inconsistent appearance), I do not think that "particular" is necessary as that is already assumed with the word "focused". The final bit seems a bit repetitious to me as it is saying the character is receiving criticism for his design being frequently changed and then saying again that his appearance is inconsistent. Maybe something along the lines of (on the frequent modifications and inconsistency in his design)?
Done 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I do not think that "subjected" works in this context, (which is subjected to internet memes), as I always perceive the word as having a more negative connotation. I would use a different word choice here.

For this part, (modeler Yosuke Yamagata), would it be helpful to have a link for modeler?
Done 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would more directly attribute the following quote, "pretty dramatic". I believe that this is said by Jun Takeuchi based on context, but since this quote comes in for a new sentence, I think it would be good to clarify who is saying this quote.
Done 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 21:40, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would avoid using the following sentence construction, (with X verb-ing), when possible as it is something often discouraged on the FAC level. An example of this is, (with the two leading a group to destroy Umbrella's only remaining research facility), as well as this, (with fans using it to demonstrate Chris' masculinity).
I believe this is done. I found three instances, but please let us know if I missed anything. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 00:46, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would be consistent with using title case for the citation titles. I know that this is a pain, and I was honestly only made aware of it somewhat recently, but it does seem like another common point made in FACs.
This should be done as well. Please let me know if I missed something or if any the titles still need adjustment. -- StarScream1007 ►Talk 01:29, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope that these comments are helpful. I believe that should be everything, but I will read through the article a few more times just to make sure that I have not missed anything. I am always happy to see more fictional characters in the FAC space. Great work as always with that. Best of luck with the FAC, and I hope you are having a great week so far! Aoba47 (talk) 19:09, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @StarScream1007. Anyway @Aoba47, done. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 12:41, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for addressing everything. I support this FAC for promotion based on the prose. If possible, I would greatly appreciate any help with my current peer review, but I completely understand if you do not have the time or interest. I hope you have a great weekend.

Spotchecks by Lazman321

As you requested, I'll be conducting spotchecks soon here. Lazman321 (talk) 20:31, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Boneless Pizza!: I think that will be all for my spotchecks. Definitely an improvement over my spotchecks for Claire Redfield. Willing to support once addressed. Lazman321 (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review by Tintor2

I will be doing the source review. Tintor2 (talk) 00:58, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

All the sources I'm reading count as WP:Reliable sources as approved by the project of video games:

PCGamesN, Engadget, IGN twice, Bloody Disgusting, GameSpot, Polygon, Platinum Games, Kotaku (this sound lately became controversial in discussion but it's older), 1UP.com, Gameinformer, Eurogamer, GamesRadar+, VG247, Nintendo World Report, Push Square, GamePro, Edge, The Gamer, Den of Geek (lately discussed by the project but still not decided if it's bad), The Escapist, Shack News (I'm not sure about this but the wikilinks leading me to such article seems to make it strong for reliable), Gematsu (lately more approved than Siliconera, I often visit that site and it well written), Anime News Network (probably the most reliable site that deals with anime and related projects), Yahoo News, Siliconera is pretty much like Gematsu and a lot of websites tend to borrow content from it. Destructoid, Gamepur (I'm not familiar with this website but still it seems well organized), Screenrant (kinda like GameRant the commentary might be too subjective but it's pretty useful as far as I've been told), GameSpy, NintendoLife, GameZone, Complex
Twitter accounts: @aesthetics_re seems to official.
5-8, 12-13, 15-16, 19, 39-40, 48, 49: Credits to the original games
14, another official twitter account.
Bibliography: all of them possess wikilinks so they are accessible to every user
All citations possess the writer's name and dates and are consistently linked.

@Boneless Pizza!: This is all I read. I'm not too experienced with FA reviews but I tried doing everything a source review has to do. I hope this article passes so I give it a pass. If I missed anything, somebody feel free to correct it.Tintor2 (talk) 01:27, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kotaku and Den of Geek are reliable, while Screen Rant is reliable for pop culture purpose and as a valnet source, it shouldn't be used a lot; that's why I used only once (BTW, GameRant is a low quality, thus I wouldn't def use it). Thanks! 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:39, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see. It's that I remember recent discord talks about Kotaku and Den of Geek not being approved by the project but since nothing was decided I'm sure they count as reliable. Tintor2 (talk) 01:41, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When the content were obviously written like it was made from AI; that's a different story and its unreliable. 🍕BP!🍕 (🔔) 01:47, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

lead

character, with focus on the frequent ==> "character, with a focus on the frequent"

concept and design

he had trained intensely in order to fight the series' ==> "he had trained intensely to fight the series'" (conciseness)
Chris' actions serve as a major mystery ==> "Chris' actions served as a major mystery"
His appearance was once again redesigned, with ==> "His appearance was again redesigned, with"

appearances

biological warfare activities, and ultimately comma here is unnecessary
private organization with the goal of exposing Umbrella's biological ==> "private organization to expose Umbrella's biological"
a man identifying himself as "Redfield" arrives "himself" is unneeded
Mia and Rosemary are rescued, Chris and his team head to the BSAA's European ==> "Mia and Rosemary are rescued, and Chris and his team head to the BSAA's European"

critical reception

mass throughout the games in repeatedly changing remove "in"
by IGN and in a Famitsu's reader survey remove "a" or remove the " 's"
