While there is lots of good and accurate information here, I think this article seems a little too short. I think the introduction to her life could have a bit more beef to it, as this is usually what people look to first. You have done a good job with citing within Wikipedia and attached hyperlinks to most of your words and references which is good. What I really admire is the large chart at the bottom of all of her work, this is extremely effective and informative and is a valuable asset to anyone working in the film industry - well done.

This is a great article so far, and while the main focus of Selbo is not really the introduction, and is more directed to her works presented at the bottom, I think my first mention of beefing up the intro and earlier sections of the page is necessary.

A solid short and sweet article. I used her book on Women screenwriters as a source in my Wiki article, so I find it interesting to read more about the author and what she has done in the industry.

My one concern is this line: "Selbo has worked with industry pioneers like George Lucas, Roland Joffe, Lauren Shuler-Donner, Michael Newell, Aaron Spelling and with all the major Hollywood Studios." There is no citation (?) and I think you should expand in what capacity she's worked with industry pioneers. Was she a writer who worked alongside them? On what projects? Year?

I think this line, "She has also written for theatre with productions in New York, Los Angeles, Louisville and other theaters in the USA" might also need a citation and maybe an example of what works she's done in the different cities. This may be difficult if there are no examples to be found, but it's just a suggestion to add.

Other than that, I do like that you included a list for her publications and a separate list for her work as a producer and a writer. Good job!

It is a good idea to separate education and career, it's clear and I should do the same for my own article. I also used one of her book “Women Screenwriters: An International Guide”. Something I'd change is the structure of the publications. I would used the same structure you did for the filmography. It would harmonized your article look. You should be careful about the way you cite your source. I suggest you add the person's name or the name of the website which write the article for your reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AuBeYeux (talkcontribs) 00:06, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

I think your article is really insightful and really well put-together. Your charts are really detailed and informative, and seems like a fantastic way to visually present the high volume of work that your writer has done.

I would maybe create links in a few different places to create more traffic on your page. For example, I think it might be helpful to create links to other Wikipedia pages for the opening paragraph for the words "screenwriter", "playwright", "producer", and even "author".

Additionally, I think using the full words as opposed to their abbreviations might be more helpful to some of the readers. For instance, I would write 'The Writer's Guild of America' instead of WGA, and do the same for 'BFA' and 'MFA' as well, only because it might make it look more complete. Also in regards to the education section of Selbo's page, I think adding the years she attended school could be interesting, if you can find the link to those dates. I would perhaps also expand a bit on her being a part of the Writer's Guild of America under the Career sub-section of your article.

Again to create more potential traffic on your page, I might add a link to the Wikipedia pages for Lauren Schuler-Donner as well as Michael Newell, provided they have their own pages. I would suggest also creating a link for the Journal of Screenwriting (Intellect Press).

Lastly, I would add a few examples and links to those examples, of the live action feature screenplays that you mention in the Publications subsection.
