I've been heavily reworking this article over the past few weeks in an effort to get it to Good Article status. In the process, I've completely rewritten some paragraph, added/removed some topics entirely, added citations, et cetera.
I ask for advice regarding article quality as a whole. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- Prose (Is the article understandable? Does it read smoothly? Is anything repeated unnecessarily?)
- Overciting/Underciting (Have I forgotten to cite something I should? Are some citations complete overkill?)
- Relevancy (Is some information unnecessary to the article as a whole? Is there something lacking in the article that should be addressed?)
- Anything else you notice that should be addressed.
I'm sorry if this Peer Review request is a little long-winded, this is my first time asking anything of this sort here and so I figured talking too much is better than talking too little.
Any and all criticisms welcome!
Thanks for reading and I hope you've had a good day, VeeJayZee (talk) 22:20, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
- @VeeJayZee I'm very glad you helped improve this former GA article. Some issues i would like to bring up:
- the lead section has citations. this should be removed per WP:LEADCITE (please make sure claims made in the lead are cited anywhere else in the body, though)
The PSP's development posed several challenges for Sony and third-party developers, with battery life being a primary concern. To address this, Sony implemented power management strategies, including restricting the CPU to two-thirds of its full speed for the first few years. The Universal Media Disc (UMD) drive was another significant hurdle, as it drained the battery and had slow read speeds. Developers had to optimize their game data layout to minimize disc access and reduce power consumption. These limitations sometimes led to performance constraints and long loading times, with some titles like WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw 2006 experiencing load times of up to two minutes for certain scenes.[24] Methods to alleviate loading times included a cache for UMD data on models after the 1000, and later games giving the option to partially install data onto the Memory Stick to reduce load times.
This section is huge and only contains one source. Try adding more sources (or reusing some) to help verify the information there.- In the PSP-1000 section in Hardware, there needs more citations to verify the claims there.
- There is duplicated references
- I don't know if you made an entire account just for this as i see your account is pretty new, good job on the rewrites as its pretty solid so far. All in all this article needs much more citations. Thats my main problem here. Hope this helps. Monathephantom (talk) 14:14, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
- Also, before nominating, be sure you are the main author of this article or it will get quickfailed per the GA citeria. Monathephantom (talk) 14:16, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
