This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    In the 2000s: Return to theatre section, "The same year he played Mr Sesseman in an adaptation of Heidi", add a period after "Mr".

    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    In the lead and throughout the article, correctly link "Ireland" and "The Three Sisters" to their correspondence articles. I noticed that dates in the references are linked and it would be best if they were unliked, per here.

  2. Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):  
    Does Reference 6 cover all this ---> "Bathurst appeared as sitcom writer Mark Taylor in Joking Apart. The show was punctuated by fantasy sequences in which his character performed his thoughts as a stand-up routine in a small club. In the commentary and the interview on the DVD, Bathurst says that he was told that they would be reshot after filming everything else, an idea abandoned because of the expense. He has an idea of refilming the sequences 'now', as his older self, to give them a more retrospective feeling. He has also said that he believes Mark was too "designery" and wishes that he had "roughened him up a bit"?
    C. It contains no original research:  
    Is "business24-7.ae" a reliable source?

    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid non-free use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article!

  • "In the 2000s: Return to theatre section, "The same year he played Mr Sesseman in an adaptation of Heidi", add a period after "Mr". " Standard British grammar does not require dots after "Mr", "Mrs", "Dr", etc. Dates unlinked.
  • "In the lead and throughout the article, correctly link "Ireland" and "The Three Sisters" to their correspondence articles." Fixed.
  • "Does Reference 6 cover all this ..." No. Fixed with additional reference to DVD
  • "Is "business24-7.ae" a reliable source? " Yes
