There is a new reference in xkcd 375: https://xkcd.com/375/
Should it be added? -- 46.117.167.51 ( talk) 18:26, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Is there any information as to how "GLaDOS" is supposed to be pronounced? I automatically thought that it's pronounced "glad-ohs", but now that I think about it, I figure it's pronounced like the name "Gladys". I think that makes sense, since it would give her a "real" name instead of a meaningless acronym. Does anyone know if this pronunciation is correct? If the game developers have given info on pronunciation, I think it should be included in this article. NoriMori ( ノリモリ) 03:13, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
All of the sections that pertain to Portal:Prelude are really badly written and have no sources. Should this even be part of the article? If so it should be rewritten, because the sentences run on and refer to characters that haven't been mentioned previously in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Petenick96 ( talk • contribs) 17:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
Yes, can someone please rewrite this? It's awful! I don't know enough about the prelude to do it myself, but its existence is embarrassing to Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lobstrain ( talk • contribs) 19:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

"She also sang the lyrics for "Still Alive", written by Jonathan Coulton, which played during the credits of Portal. The song has been a huge success[.]"
Please nobody change that wording. :-D — Mütze ( talk) 20:14, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Caroline is, to be honest, not a major character, and I think that her article should be merged into the GLaDOS one. Does anyone object to this?-- In Donaldismo Veritas ( talk) 16:51, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
I've reinstated the link to Galatea (video game) in the See also section per Wikipedia:Build_the_web and WP:SEEALSO. These sections are navigation devices, which require that the targeted article exist and that a brief annotation is provided "when a link's relevance is not immediately apparent". "Links included in the "See also" section may be useful for readers seeking to read as much about a topic as possible, including subjects only peripherally related to the one in question." The topic at hand is female video game characters; both being AIs make it a strong connection between them. Diego Moya ( talk) 23:33, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
I know that del Toro hired McLain to be the voice of a computer system in Pacific Rim and that the trailer released yesterday has her nearly doing her Glados voice, but we can't say that there's necessarily a connection between Glados and the film based on that. Given that del Toro is a gamer, the similar might certainly well be intentional, and if we have an article that asserts this, great, then we can add it. But just having the similarity in voicing is otherwise OR to connect the film to Glados at this point. -- MASEM ( t) 14:39, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
Can we have a talk about the "As a female in video games" part? Only I can see how citing stuff wrote by random people online from sites that have recently been discovered to have an agenda that pushes feminism has no place on Wikipedia? How does this improve the article? How are these facts?
Can we just stick to what has actually been confirmed and not the mad ramblings of somebody that doesn't even have a journalism degree?
Also, this is from Jimbo Wales himself. /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Due_and_undue_weight I think it falls perfectly in this category. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.36.154.190 ( talk) 21:11, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
The whole section seems unabashedly biased and does not belong without some serious editing. Tupin ( talk) 21:50, 1 October 2014 (UTC)
I noticed that the name of the potato-battery version of GLaDOS, PotatOS, is never mentioned. This can be cited to the name of the song "PotatOS's Lament" from the Portal 2 Soundtrack (Songs to Test By). Should this be included and, if so, where? Smock42 ( talk) 19:22, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
I am uncertain whether or not to add this. The article, as is, is excellent enough in its avoidance of the soon-to-be-proposed accuracy-improvement, the article doesn't make any mention of the plot explained time-frame: According to GlaDOS, this A.I. has an ¨quicksave¨ feature that forces the A.I. to reexperience the last two minutes of their life, which the A.I. claims to have been for the last years. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0__zvbhGDY&feature=youtu.be&t=19m20s -- or: you can play Portal 2 and find the dialogue. This is seemignly self-sourced plot synopsis aren't required to have a source--the plot of the content is literally the source. So, this should be valid to add; that GlaDOS is well over years old (the intro of the game also mentions: "Hello, you have been in suspension for - NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE NI-"; which additionally verify the claim--assuming the announcer is not broken). If plot can be added without a source; someone add this, properly for I can not add it properly. If even plot synopsises requires a source; I'll probably go ahead and drop a few pages which needs additional verification. -- An anonymous person. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.194.15.104 ( talk) 19:03, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Improved to Good Article status by Lankyant ( talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke ( talk) at 03:30, 9 November 2022 (UTC).
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
So this nomination is a little more of an interesting one. When this became a GA I nominated it for DYK like I always do for most GAs. However, the nomination actually got rejected because of reliable sourcing concerns. There are reportedly unreliable sources such as youtube and a forum post while there's also a supposed overuse of primary sources. This is concerning considering i've never had a nomination rejected for unreliable sourcing and DYK is usually more relaxed than GA with its criteria. So, i'm nominating this for GAR to see if these concerns are valid and enough to be reassessed. For more information see the DYK nomination Template:Did you know nominations/GLaDOS Onegreatjoke ( talk) 16:15, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
As the GA reviewer of this Article. I admit that more work should have been performed on my part. I apologize for this. I agree that a delist should be performed. This article does not meet all of the GA Criteria. Cheers. PerryPerryD Talk To Me 15:57, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
The article is redeemable and probably close to GA. But there are a few sourcing issues that need to be resolved. I agree about a delist and I hope it encourages editors to work on it. Shooterwalker ( talk) 17:37, 9 February 2023 (UTC)
Hey all I've done some work in fixing the issues listed above to get this to GA. I am struggling with Description though and finding sources? Also can you see any more sources that need correcting or removing/replacing? Thanks. Lankyant ( talk) 23:55, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
that this article... is looking pretty good.
A lot of Glados's dialogue overall reveals that Aperture has a ton of weird things that... nobody ever mentions??? Like, why does Aperture have an entire testing wing made of glass? ?????!??!?
Also should we maybe add something involving the Co-Op story? 13 Rats ( talk) 11:46, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
