Hi, I'll take this on! Disclaimer that, while I ''have'' gotten [[Pearl and Marina|one]] to GA myself, I have limited expertise with character articles, so apologies if I make any mistakes. [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 21:59, 3 October 2026 (UTC)
:{{u|Boneless Pizza!}} Might as well ping since this nom’s been untouched for so long it could get buried, lol [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 14:30, 7 October 2026 (UTC)
::@[[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] Im sorry but it looks like I lost interest at Wikipedia and im not in the mood to improve this. You can fail this now. Thank you for the comments! 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 03:45, 10 October 2026 (UTC)
:::Oh, that's alright then! I wish you well in the future. [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 12:01, 10 October 2026 (UTC)
::::Actually, {{u|Haleth}}, would you be interested in taking this over, since this was a co-nom? [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 12:03, 10 October 2026 (UTC)
:::::Hi there, yes that's fine I can take over. Can I get back to you regarding your comments later on this weekend? [[User:Haleth|Haleth]] ([[User talk:Haleth|talk]]) 01:27, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
::::::Sure! After these comments are addressed, I’ll get to the spotcheck. [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 01:35, 13 October 2026 (UTC)
:::::::@[[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] I was able to recover from anxiety lol. Anyway, I already did everything what you suggested except the "Jill Valentine was originally considered for the role, but her intervening history was considered difficult to accommodate..." part because intervening history is like it doesn't make sense for them to choose Jill given her history at the franchise. Like it doesn't make sense she is a medic thats why rebecca was chosen instead. Thanks! 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 02:07, 25 October 2026 (UTC)
::::::::{{u|Boneless Pizza!}} I've just added my final round of comments. [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 22:08, 1 November 2026 (UTC)
===Lead===

* {{red|Rebecca has received mostly positive reviews from video game publications, with some critics praising her for being a formidable female character who does not conform to stereotypical gender norms.}} Something about describing a ''character'' as receiving "positive reviews" feels off to me. I'd reword the sentence to something like -> "{{green|Rebecca's characterization has received praise from video game publications, with some critics interpreting her as a formidable woman not conforming with sterotypical gender norms.}}"

===Concept and Design===

* Link [[Shacknews]].

* Add the release year for [[Resident Evil Zero]].

* "{{red|After a lengthy absence from the media franchise, Rebecca returned to a major role in the 2017 animated film Resident Evil: Vendetta.}}". I'd cut the word "media" and "2017" so that the latter can be re-formatted into parentheses.

* "{{red|Jill Valentine was originally considered for the role, but her intervening history was considered difficult to accommodate...}}" What does "intervening history" mean in this context? Does it refer to continuity errors?

* "{{red|In the 2002 title Resident Evil, she was voiced by English actress Hope Levy and Ami Koshimizu in Japanese.}}" I'd reword the first clause as "{{green|In the 2002 remake}}" and move the sentence to the end of the last paragraph, since the 2002 game is iterative of the 1996 one.

* "{{red|Her likeness for Resident Evil 0...}}" ''Resident Evil 0'' -> ''Resident Evil Zero''. I know both are valid, but the rest of the article uses the latter.

===Appearances===

* "{{red|Canonically, Rebecca is ultimately rescued by Chris and the Alpha Team, and she emerges as Bravo Team's sole survivor of the incident in the canon version of the story.}}" Replace "canonically" with "in the canon version of the story", since this is redundant.

* "{{red|She has survived the events of Resident Evil 2 (1998), in which the character makes an Easter egg–type cameo appearance in an undeveloped film on Wesker's desk.}}" I'd reword the first clause -> "{{green|She is confirmed to have survived the events of ''Resident Evil 2'' (1998)...}}"

* "{{red|She also appears in the sequel, Resident Evil: Death Island.}}" When did it release?

===Critical reception===

* Link ''[[Rock Paper Shotgun]]''

* series's -> series'

* Replace the mention of Resident Evil Zero in the second paragraph with just "Zero" to be consistent with this shorthand's usage in the first paragraph.
**[[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] all done. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 22:21, 1 November 2026 (UTC)
*** Passing now. Good job to you both! [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 22:23, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

===Spotcheck===

Authorship percentage and Earwig check out. There is one "potential violation" with a 40% text match, but it's clearly a case of a third-party website plagiarizing Wikipedia, so nothing amiss here. 


* Ref 2 Stephanie Sheh official website: (a,b) I see the mention of Umbrella Chronicles, but not the other two games Sheh is credited for? 
**Added source ''Behind the voice actor''. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 00:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 5 Kotaku: Looks good.


* Ref 9 Biohazard 0 Kaitai Shinsho: Can't access, so I assume this checks out.


* Ref 11 Crunchyroll: I don't see the mention of Jill Valentine nor the fact that the team wanted a character who had not appeared in past RE film. For the latter, all that's mentioned is that "{{green|the producers really wanted a female character as well as male lead characters}}" and Kobayashi merely stating that Rebecca hadn't shown up recently.
**Removed some parts. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 00:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 12 Reed 2020: Ditto as Ref 9.


* Ref 19 IGN UK: Looks good, but, and maybe this is nitpicky, but it doesn't explicitly state the train car is abandoned. Though, an operational train wouldn't have zombies on it anyway.
**I'd say this is fine as is. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 00:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 20 GameInformer: The video in question isn't loading for me on the IA, so I assume this is okay?


* Ref 21 IGN: I'm not seeing a mention of Richard Aiken. It also doesn't seem to specify that Rebecca appears in Umbrella Chronicles specifically, only summarizing her actions in Zero.
** Oopsie, this was a mistake. Replaced with Billy Coen instead of Richard, and under ''Resident Evil Zero + Umbrella Chronicles: Beginnings'', it tells their story under that game so I think this should be fine. 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 00:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 26 Eurogamer: Looks good.


* Ref 29 GamesRadar+: Looks good.


* Ref 31 S. D. Perry: Looks good, but I'd prefer it if "Rebecca plays a central role in" was reworded into "Rebecca is a protagonist in".
** Done 00:00, 31 October 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 32 S. D. Perry: Looks good.


* Ref 34 Bandai Card Games: The game isn't loading on my end, but regardless, this mention of the TCG feels a bit ''too'' trivial for my liking, especially given that it's only backed by a primary source ''of'' the TCG; I'd rather have this detail removed.
** This information, despite primary source have been used on multiple FA articles and passed FACs like [[Chris Redfield]], Leon, and Jill.
*** In that case, it's alright to keep it. [[User:TheBrickGraphic|TheBrickGraphic]] ([[User talk:TheBrickGraphic|talk]]) 22:08, 1 November 2026 (UTC)

* Ref 38 Anime News Network: Looks good.


* Ref 39 Destructoid: Looks good.


* Ref 40 Polygon: Looks good.


* Ref 41 Rock Paper Shotgun: Looks good.


* Ref 42 Syfy Wire: Looks good.


* Ref 45 Reed 2020: Ditto as Ref 9.


* Ref 46 Reed 2020: Ditto as Ref 9.


* Ref 49 Edge: This was apparently taken down from the IA. Since I can't access it, I assume this is okay.


* Ref 50 Female Action Heroes: Ditto as Ref 9.


* Ref 51 Feminist Frequency: Looks good.


* Ref 52 Platz: For some reason I can't find any mention of Rebecca or the provided quote using Ctrl-F, but I assume this is okay? If you can, are you able to find this?
**I couldn't not access this wihout my computer but I can assure you this is true since this content is also at [[Claire Redfield]]'s article and went through FaC 🍕[[User:Boneless Pizza!|<span style="background:orange;border-radius:9999px;padding:1px 8px;color:white;"><span style="font-weight:bold">B</span>P!</span>]]🍕 ([[User talk:Boneless Pizza!|🔔]]) 22:17, 1 November 2026 (UTC)
