• ... that the Chompi Kickstarter campaign raised over $900,000 in one day? Source: "Update 29/03/23: Chompi is now on Kickstarter and has raised almost three-quarters of a million pounds in about a day."
  • ALT1: ... that the creators of Chompi ran modular synth classes for a decade? Source: "The company was set up by Chelsea and Tobias Hendrickson, who have been running modular synth education classes for around a decade."
  • Reviewed: [[]]
  • Comment: No QPQ required. For ALT0, I converted the £750,000 number from the source into dollars for consistency within the article, but if putting it in the original £ would be better for the hook then that's fine too.

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

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

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

QPQ: None required.

Overall: Thank you for your submission! The thing with ALT0 is, if we convert the aforementioned number without having the same comparison in the source, we might risk to fall into original research territory, which wouldn't be ideal. It's not really your fault, either: I'm actually quite perplexed by the editor's choice to put basically every other number in dollars, and leaving just the Kickstarter fund in pounds... Maybe, though, you could kill two birds with one stone, and write an ALT2 hook that rather focuses on the fact that Chompi has sparked one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns of last year. Everything else looks good, anyway! Oltrepier (talk) 16:36, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Oltrepier: what about something like:

ALT2: ... that the Chompi Kickstarter campaign was one of the most successful of 2023? (source) Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 17:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Suntooooth: Good, even though it could be a little longer... Oltrepier (talk) 18:05, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Oltrepier: I don't have any ideas for making it longer since honestly my brain's not really working today, sorry :( Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 18:17, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

@Suntooooth: Don't worry, that's perfectly fine: we can always re-tool it in the next reviewing phase, and ALT1 is still a good option, as well. I think we're good to go. Oltrepier (talk) 18:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

---

This is a wonderful small article! I love Chompi and I am very glad that there exists a good Wikipedia article for it :D

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose, spelling, and grammar):

   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):

   Very well written! I would recommend fluffing out the lead a bit more, so that people can get a better idea of what it is just by reading it. It's unfortunate that there isn't more information on this thing, but you can still fluff out the lead by describing how the thing itself looks how it works ("The lower buttons can play one of 25 different samples, and the upper knobs can control various different filters and effects.") and how it is different from other samplers. ("It is designed to be accessible and screenless, operating instead by using LEDs and labels to show the status of the effects.") Of course, I'm not an expert on Chompi, so you might want to write this with correct knowledge of how the machine actually works ;p

   Just looked at the updated lead, it looks WAY better! I like how the kickstarter is mentioned in the lead, that detail feels quite important and I like that it is included.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (reference section):

   b (inline citations to reliable sources):

   c (OR):

   d (copyvio and plagiarism):

   (source spot-check done):

   References are quite populated, although some of them do seem a little bit questionable. I really enjoy the interview sources, but I don't like the blog-y ones as much, especially the ones which talk about the specs. I would ask that the author of the article do their own spot-check on the sources, just to make sure that everything is indeed alright ;p Also, the note about Mixdown Magazine is odd, why not just cite an archived version of the original Kickstarter instead of an incorrect figure?

   Looks like the Kickstarter is now included as a source, good work!

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects):

   b (focused):

   Pretty good coverage! Good enough for a good article atleast; it would be nice if there was something about the mascot or what the heck "chompi club" means, but it's not necessary.

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars, etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free content have non-free use rationales):

   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

   It would be really nice if there was a link to the website, as well as a picture of the creators and *especially* an audio recording of what the Chompi sounds like!! Alas, none of these are required in order to be a good article... you get a pass for now!

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:

   Check the two noted sections in this review, once the main author gets back to me, I will consider it passing!

   Good job on the article, it is now passing!

Thanks for the review! Great to see another Chompi fan in the wild :D

• I've expanded the lead - let me know if it needs any more work.
• I personally think the sources are fine, but then again I wrote the article, so I'm not sure I'm the best person to judge them. To explain the note about Mixdown Magazine: Kickstarter links are generally blacklisted for spam, so when I wrote the article the Kickstarter page wasn't allowed as a reference. I later got the campaign page whitelisted for use in the article, but didn't think of replacing that note with it. It's fixed now!
• I could upload one of my own audio recordings at some point, but it's not a priority; same with the note about the mascot and Chompi Club. There's a link to the official website in the external links section. As for images, unfortunately the picture I took of Chompi is the only freely-available image I can find, and I don't think a fair use rationale would stand for the article considering there's already an image of Chompi itself.

Let me know if I've missed anything! Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 14:01, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

@Theepicosity: Just checking in, since it's been a week since this has been active and I believe I've fixed the issues you mentioned in your review. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 06:10, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

Oops! Sorry, I was out for the past few days and for some reason I didn't get a notification that you had replied. I will update the review soon! Theepicosity (talk) 14:39, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
