Production I.G

I am requesting a peer review for this article as I want to see get if it can get to a B grade on several projects it is affiliated with. It is currently graded as a C class on two projects and a Start class on one. Apart from checking if the article is well-sourced, I would like to get some feedback on these points:

• The overall look of the article. Is too big or does it warrant having multiple tables that were made to display the works of the studio?

• Are the section titles too wordy?

• Do the notes sections of the tables contain too much information?

Hey Orion409! Articles can be reassessed up to B-class by any editor, including you. You might want to take a look at the B-class criteria to see whether this article is up to that standard. Here are some other improvements I noticed could be made:

• The citation for "Headquartered in Musashino, Tokyo" can be moved to the history section per WP:LEADCITE, as it's not particularly controversial.
• The revenue numbers in the infobox are from 2006. Can a more recent source be tracked down? Also, consider including this information somewhere in the prose to reduce the number of references in the infobox per MOS:INFOBOXREF.
• The date ranges throughout the article should use en dashes (–) per MOS:ENTO.
• The extensive table of works could probably be moved to its own article, say, List of works by Production I.G. The issue you brought up with the volume of footnotes will probably fix itself with this change. I'd recommend keeping the "Works" section in this article with some selected works that are repeatedly mentioned by reliable sources, and using the {{Main article}} template to insert a hatnote link to the new list.
• There are several bundled citations that themselves appear in footnotes. It may be more reader-friendly to simply have individual citations for these, especially the ones which only bundle two citations.
• Relevant images could be included to support the prose. For example, an image of Mitsuhisa Ishikawa in the "History" section.
• If it can be supported by sources, consider a section discussing notable employees and their contributions.
• Consider a section discussing the legacy of Production I.G. The studio has worked on several influential works and I think it's entirely possible that sources discussing I.G's impact on the animation industry could be found.
• The categories need a bit of attention. Consider adding the ones mentioned at MOS:AM § Companies and organizations and WP:CPYG § Article categories, as well as any others that are appropriate.

Let me know if you have any questions! —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 06:16, 20 July 2023 (UTC) (please  mention me on reply)

Thank you for the input TechnoSquirrel69, I will try to incorporate all of your comments into an improved version of the article.

Regarding the reassessment, I am aware that I could assess the article myself but I thought I needed an outside observer to help with that as I don't know if I should grade articles that I worked on (it would feel like I am patting myself on the back).

Comments from Z1720

Comments after a quick skim:

• Citation needed templates need to be resolved.
• "Thus, the film Patlabor 2, released on August 1993, became the last product bearing the name "I.G Tatsunoko"." Needs a citation.
• Every entry in "Works" should be cited.
• Per MOS:ALLCAPS references should not be in all caps. (ref 124, 136, 16, 14, 46, 98, 219, 220, 221, 223, 118)
• I put the video games into two columns because it was a long list. Feel free to revert if you don't like.

I hope this helps. Z1720 (talk) 20:39, 1 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for comments and the added two columns. I didn't even know you could do that.
