I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 21:01, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Images are appropriately tagged. Twitter is generally unreliable but here it's used for uncontroversial self-reported facts. The YouTube source is a professional channel. Other sources are reliable.

• If she moved to NYC at nineteen, then presumably she didn't live at home in order to be able to afford school -- seems to be a contradiction in the early life section.
  •  Removed

    I'm not sure that resolves it -- we have a source (that is now removed) that contradicts something in the article. How about changing the "Early life" section to say "To ensure she could attend her parents emptied their savings, took out many loans, and had Gallo live at home initially, although when we she was nineteen she moved to New York city."? I removed the "however" since we don't want "however" and "although" in a single sentence. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 14:35, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

    •  Done

• "She was only able to audition for certain roles": you mean she was somehow prevented from auditioning? I don't know how auditioning works -- do you need to pass some preliminary vetting to audition, as opposed to an open casting call?
  • From my understanding, Fumero wasn't auditioning through an open casting call. With these, the casting director will choose a small number of applicants from the agencies' submissions to audition since casting can be expensive and there is only a budget to consider a small number of applicants.
• Is Tiny Dancer worth a redlink?
  •  Done
• "Journalists gave unanimous acclaim towards": this is clumsily phrased, but in any case to say that a show received "unanimous acclaim" is not the same thing as saying that Rotten Tomatoes put the show in its "unanimous acclaim" category.
  • Rephrased
• "During the latter year of the season's broadcast": it's not clear when this refers to. If latter refers to 2014-15, I would just say "In 2015".
  •  Done
• "However, she was hesitant to ask NBC as a woman": I know what you mean but this is opaquely phrased; can you make this more direct?
  • Rephrased

    I don't think this is clear. You might just quote her at this point. Maybe 'She was hesitant to ask NBC to let her direct an episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, although she felt more wome of color should be directing: "I didn't ask this season, because it was NBC and ... we're women, and like, I don't wanna ruffle any feathers and it was like, I can't ask a boy to dance, they have to ask me."'

    •  Done

• "Fumero voiced Melissa Tarleton": why the past tense? The show is still in production, isn't it?
  • The show was cancelled earlier this year, so she will not voice the character anymore
• "Fumero was reported to be starring in comedy film Bar Fight! in 2021." This is old news; any update? Is Bar Fight! worth a redlink?
  •  Added release date and redlink
• Perhaps give the expected premier date of Blockbuster?
  •  Done
• Two rows in the "Film" table are not sourced; and not everything in the "Television" table is sourced.
  •  Added sources. Pamzeis (talk) 13:33, 10 September 2022 (UTC)

Pamzeis, just checking you're planning to work on this? Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 09:28, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Sorry! Been kinda busy lately... I'll get it done by the end of tomorrow... Pamzeis (talk) 13:23, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem, just wanted to check you still wanted to work on it. I'll ping you again in a week if you haven't gotten to it by then. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 13:33, 3 September 2022 (UTC)

Hey, uh, sorry... again... but stuff has come up lately and I won't be able to finish until Saturday... really sorry for the delay. Thanks. Pamzeis (talk) 15:13, 4 September 2022 (UTC)

No problem at all. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:09, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

@Mike Christie: Responded to all comments Pamzeis (talk) 12:19, 13 September 2022 (UTC)

Earwig reveals no issues. Spotchecks:

• FN 7 cites "When at home, she and her family spoke Spanish, but her parents stopped forcing her and her brother to do so after he encountered issues at school." The source appears to be dead. If the source is a video, as it appears to be, and if you can get it working, can you provide the time offset for the support for this source? A reader shouldn't have to watch a whole video to verify a source.
  •  Fixed
  •  Done
• FN 6 cites "Hours after her final exam at NYU, she booked the role of Adriana Cramer on soap opera One Life to Live (OLTL), which she described as "the biggest redeeming moment"." Verified.
• FN 62 cites "For her vocal performance in Disney Junior's Elena of Avalor as Antonia—the titular character's seamstress and, later, the first female member of the royal guard". Verified.

Verification of FN 7 above is the only remaining issue. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 11:47, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

• @Mike Christie: All  done. Pamzeis (talk) 09:41, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
