Hi Cirt, I will review this article as I am interested in silent films. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 20:50, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

1. Remove the hatnote. Per WP:NAMB.
2. Use full date of birth in the lead, please.
3. There is no mention of his place of birth or death in the article, but it is the infobox; you should add this info to the prose.
4. Be consistent whether "Howell and Howell" is placed in quotation marks
5. Make sure that all titles in the filmography section are italicized
6. The link to Locked Out does not go to an article on a film; please disambiguate this.
7. Reference #10 is dead.
8. For the AllRovi external link, you should add a parameter so (silent film director) doesn't show up; see the code at {{AllRovi person}}

I will place this article on hold. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 20:59, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
