Review

"It is 29 minutes in length and features character designs by Hisashi Kagawa. Luffy, Nami, and Zoro are attacked by a sea monster that destroys their boat and separates them. Luffy is found on an island beach, where he saves a little girl, Medaka, from two pirates. All the villagers, including Medaka's father have been abducted by Ganzack and his crew and forced into labor. After hearing that Ganzack also stole all the food, Luffy and Zoro rush out to retrieve it. As they fight the pirates, one of them kidnaps Medaka. A fight starts between Luffy and Ganzack, ending with Luffy's capture. Meanwhile, Zoro is forced to give up after a threat is made to kill all the villagers. They rise up against Ganzack, and while the islanders and pirates fight, Nami unlocks the three captives. Ganzack defeats the rebellion and reveals his armored battleship. The Straw Hat Pirates are forced to fight Ganzack once more to prevent him from destroying the island." - This entire piece is uncited.
"It is 34 minutes in length and based on the first version of Romance Dawn. It includes the Straw Hat Pirates up to Brook and their second ship, the Thousand Sunny. In search for food for his crew, Luffy arrives at a port after defeating a pirate named Crescent Moon Gally on the way. There he meets a girl named Silk, who was abandoned by attacking pirates as a baby and raised by the mayor. Her upbringing causes her to value the town as her "treasure". The villagers mistake Luffy for Gally and capture him just as the real Gally returns. Gally throws Luffy in the water and plans to destroy the town, but Silk saves him and Luffy pursues Gally. His crew arrives to help him, and with their help he recovers the treasure for the town, acquires food, and destroys Gally's ship." - Uncited.
"One Piece was removed from the Toonami block after March 18, 2017." - Uncited.
"The 4Kids and Funimation dubbed episodes also aired in Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the series was broadcast on the Toonami (UK & Ireland), initially using the censored 4Kids dub before switching to Funimation's dub. The series was broadcast on Cartoon Network in Australia." - Uncited.
All but one small sentence in the "Video Games" subsection are uncited.
The entire "Music" subsection is uncited.
Several citations look incomplete to me, not including dates or authors in multiple instances where it would be possible to include them.
Not essential under normal circumstances, but I'd advice that all sources be archived with all speed where possible.
I'm really not comfortable about the use of forums as sources, unless they're definitely written by site staff. It would be best to include authors.
Several urls appear to redirect, according to the Checklinks scan I performed. These should be sorted.

That's what I saw on a first scan. Once these have been addressed, I'll have another look through. --ProtoDrake (talk) 10:35, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For the two first bullet points, does the short plot summaries have to be cited? I ask this because on episode lists, the plot summaries written for each episode is not cited.

I'll allow for lack of citations for plot summaries. As to any staff, they definitely need citations if that can be managed.

I removed the sentence.

For the fifth bullet point, the proof about the Bandai part is in the video games article linked in the section.

Whether it's in another article or not, it's still good to have the information cited. If it's in the main articles, getting the references should be easy. If you don't feel it's necessary, I won't press the point, but if you're taking this article beyond GA, you should include references even if you need to lift from other articles.

I am unable to find a source that says some of the One Piece games are made by Bandai, however the list shows that most of the games were made by them.

For the sixth bullet point, the proof about the music info part is in the discography article linked in the section.

Same as my response for the fifth bullet point.

I am unable to find a source that says the specific number of singles and compilation albums released, as the number is counted from the list linked.

I archived some links due to some falsely recognizing as a connection issue.

Some of the archiving cells in the citations are empty. Can this be sorted, or will it be sorted later? Again, if this is taken beyond GA, empty or redundant cells will be raised as issues.

I'll try to sort this out later. Visual editor automatically adds blank parameters for some reason.

@1989: Replies above. --ProtoDrake (talk) 18:29, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@ProtoDrake: Same. -- 1989 19:53, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@1989: I can't see anything overtly keeping it from being a GA at the moment; I'll give it a pass. But it will need further work if you intend taking it any further. --ProtoDrake (talk) 19:59, 2 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
