Hi, Lord Theoden! Welcome to GAN! I'll be reviewing this article. Please notify me if I screw anything up. Pamzeis (talk) 05:24, 30 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article has potential to become a GA, but at the moment, it has some pretty glaring issues:

  • The second paragraph of the lead is kinda a laundry list of all the films Wood has appeared in, with no note to which were significant in his career. The lead should aim to establish why he is notable and what was significant to him/his career. At the moment, I'm not seeing that.
  • #1999–2003: The Lord of the Rings is awfully short considering Wood was the lead character of those hugely successful films. Consider adding reception to Wood's performance and how he prepared for the role.
  • The same applies for most of the article, actually, as it just seems to list Wood's films with very little information
  • The career section seems to end after 2017. Looking at Wood's filmography, it appears he has still been active, especially with producing. Can anything be said about these projects?
  • #Personal life is mostly one sentence paragraphs. Try to expand/combine these as they can make the article feel pretty choppy.
  • There seem to be some questionable sources like CraveOnline and Agents of Geek.

This is definitely a start, but this article needs some significant expansion to comply with WP:GA?#3. I also have some concerns with criterion 1 (particularly with the lead section) and 2. I think the changes required would go beyond the scope of the review, so I'll have to fail this nom at the moment. Feel free to renominate at any time. Thanks.
