Mattdaviesfsic Thank you for reviewing and providing feedback on this article submission. The feedback about the first paragraph having no sources, I wanted to explain that it did have sources when I submitted it, but another editor apparently removed them. I thought since all the other sources in my research were strong (reliable) that supplementing a weaker source for one sentence would not be an issue. If it is, then why would the editor who removed the source just remove the source and not just remove the first sentence since it is now unsourced? I’ve seen articles with facts that are unsourced and typically they get a “citation needed” notation. PS: I thought I put this comment/question on the talk page of the article, and tagged your there, but when I went back to look it wasn’t there. I apologize if you are tagged twice on the same issue. Thanks for the note back. RiverTripper (talk) 18:10, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi RiverTripper, thanks for pinging me - just looked through the History. Yes, the IMDB source was removed (see WP:RSPS for more on this). The filmography still needs sourcing (even if one source covers all of it), although - of course - IMDB cannot be used as it is unreliable. When you do resubmit after these minor issues have been fixed, I'm sure it will be accepted. Hope that helps. Mattdaviesfsic (talk) 18:18, 24 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
