This is a small and recently discovered genus of rodents from Madagascar. The articles on the genus and the three species are all GAs. I intend to submit the lead article and that on V. gymnocaudus to FAC, so that this topic can become a FT. --

I forgot to add—if desired, the article on Andreacarus voalavo (a parasitic mite that is only found on Voalavo gymnocaudus) can be included. I would prefer not to have it, since it is not clearly a subtopic of Voalavo (it could be found on other species, for example).

I've been working on this for a while, and now that the last reviews are closed it's ready for FTC. This encompases the company Thatgamecompany, its two founders, and the games made by/owned by the company. 4/7 FAs makes it featured; Journey is unreleased but has received a finished peer review. Image is of Chen; it's the only free-use image I have. --PresN20:17, 11 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Support: meets all featured topic criteria. Great work. For the sake of full disclosure: I was a copyeditor on three of these articles. Shouldn't make much of a difference, but I figured I should make it clear.

Could you add the newly implemented |deadurl=no to all non-dead links for citations, so the primary link for readers remains the original (
example)? The Chen's image does not really represent the whole topic, rather
Jenova Chen, partially
Thatgamecompany and partially games. It sucks that the fair use company's logo image cannot be used here, so I don't really have a solution. —

Deadurls are done. I don't have any other free-use images for the topic, so unless someone wants to whip up an svg of a hand like their logo or something... --PresN18:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Comment - re: the image, couldn't you crop
File:Cloud Team.jpg to focus on just Santiago and Chen (who conveniently happen to be next to each other)? I know nothing about the subject area, but the article suggests they were the company's two founders, so would that not be an appropriate image.......? --

She isn't a founder of the company. She's an employee hired a couple of years ago; her article contains only two sentences about her working at thatgamecompany. She's primarily notable right now for her work at EA, mainly
Boom Blox and The Sims 2. If after Journey is released the media notes her as critical to the game's success and to the company, I'd gladly GA and add her to the topic, but right now I don't think she fits. --PresN06:50, 20 June 2011 (UTC)reply
Her article opens with "Robin Hunicke is the producer at thatgamecompany.";
ref states that she "is our Producer Extraordinaire". I'm not too knowledgable about video games, but isn't being the producer a bid deal?

The company only has one producer at a time, since they only make one game at a time, and they make up their own titles. --PresN16:33, 20 June 2011 (UTC)reply
I would say Hunicke is currently only a related "topic". She is currently notable for other work other than TGC and would probably not pass NOTABLE with TGC connection alone. Then again, if she was included (at some point, such as, Journey release), it would be fine. —

Support, great work, well deserved. Of course, it may be a hard topic to keep up to standard if they increase the speed they produce games, but good luck anyway!

Support to the comment above me, a yet-to-be-released game would never meet the stability requirements for either FA or GA.

Support. The topic has all possible articles (singles, non-released tracks) at GA status and has organized them from importance to alphabetical order. Good work!
