• Hello 7kk, happy to review this nomination. I hope to have my first comments ready soon. Phlsph7 (talk) 09:41, 1 April 2025 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

Freely licensed: Used in article: Clear at 100px:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The article was promoted to GA on March 25, 2025. It has a readable prose size of 3953 characters. Every passage in the body of the article is sourced. The article does not use promotional or overly negative language. WP:EARWIG shows no copyvios. The hook is cited and interesting. The picture is free, used in the article, and clear. QPQ was done. A few minor points:

• The article uses the pronouns they/their/them and it/its for Re-Logic as a company. I suggest using only the pronouns it/its for the company and leaving the pronouns they/their/them only when explicitly referring to employees.
• Google reached out to Re-Logic about the account shutdown and provided transparency around the situation and restored their accounts the two "and"s sound odd. I suggest replacing the first "and" with a comma.
• I'm not sure that the image adds much to the nomination. Have you considered a nomination without the image? Phlsph7 (talk) 16:44, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
  • I'm not the DYK nominator, but the author who brought it to GA status. I've made changes you suggested to the article. I'll leave this DYK to the nominator. Cheers. (Also unrelated but good job for tackling History) Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 16:48, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
  • @Phlsph7: I just removed the image. Change "their" to "its" too. 7kk (talk) 22:33, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the changes, that takes care of the remaining concerns. I removed the expression "(logo pictured)" from the hook. Phlsph7 (talk) 08:40, 2 April 2025 (UTC)

Translation into Chinese Wikipedia

The version 1 April 2025, 16:50 was translated into the Chinese Wikipedia. 深鸣 (talk) 13:00, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

Thanks! Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 09:35, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

When I looked for the Chinese source, I found that "Re-Logic announced a collaboration with 50 Amp Productions to launch the Terraria graphic novel."([1]) I think there must be an English source describing this fact, and I don't know if it is necessary to add it to the article. 深鸣 (talk) 09:45, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

Will look into that. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 09:51, 6 April 2025 (UTC)

In addition, this source from Game Teahouse(游戏茶馆) tells about some things before Andrew Spinks founded the company, his partners when he founded the company, and the reasons for stopping and resuming the development of Terraria. This source is recognized as reliable by the Chinese Wikipedia's video games topic.(zh:PJ:VG/RS)--深鸣 (talk) 05:17, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
