Since the FAC for Claire Redfield has lasted for an entire month without a text-source integrity and close paraphrasing spot-check, I will take up conducting one. I will be checking about half of the sources in this article, about 37, using a random number generator. Unless I have reason otherwise, I will assume good faith on any source I cannot access.

I am half-way finished with the spot-checks. For reference, I am checking the sources as of this revision. Lazman321 (talk) 07:49, 27 November 2024 (UTC)
  1. [68] - The quote is "modern video game action heroes", not "contemporary video game action hero". I feel this review is unnecessary for this article as the reviewer is essentially just talking about the controls of both Claire and Leon i.e. the player character, not Claire herself. If it is to be kept, I do recommend specifying that the reviewer is only referring to the controls, not Claire's personality as is implied by "feels like a human being".
  2. [19] - This, along with [18], seem like original research, as neither source explicitly says that later games not produced by Mikami depict Claire in such a way.
  3. [41] - Pass.
  4. [8] - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass.
  5. [61] - Pass
  6. [26] - Does not mention Claire's hair.
  7. [5] - AGF for the most part, though I question the statement that "James Baker" is a pseudonym and would recommend a secondary source to support that. Yes, James is a masculine name, but that doesn't mean it is for sure a pseudonym.
  8. [16] - First use: Pass. Second use: I'm letting this one slide, as although the source does not mention that Elza is blonde, any reasonable person would conclude that she is blonde just by looking at her model in the source.
  9. [2] - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass.
  10. [13] - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass. Third use: Pass.
  11. [10] - First use: Pass. Second use: Original film series? What original film series? There's only one live action film series and Claire is played by Ali Larter in it. The source is centered around a commercial for Resident Evil 2, which Adrienne Frantz did play Claire in.
  12. [4] - First use: Pass, though please swap it with [3] for text-source integrity. Second use: Pass, ditto.
  13. [50] - Pass
  14. [55] - AGF
  15. [1] - First use: Pass. Second use: Where in the credits does it say Claire's nationality? Third use: Pass. Fourth use: Pass.
  16. [71] - AGF
  17. [23] - Judging by the sources, I don't think "hardened" is the right word to use, as Okabe says, "Even though Claire has been through a lot, this is a situation she hasn’t been in before. She’s not really prepared for it. I think you’ll see a little more vulnerability, you’ll see less of a kind of blasé attitude." Perhaps replace the word with "practical", as both sources would support this characterization.
  18. [17] - First use: Pass. Second use: Pass.
  19. [43] - Pass.
