GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- 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".

- 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.

- 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?

[edit]- "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.
- Oops, that's my bad there. Totally forgot about the British settings. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 00:23, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
- "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
