Comments from Jimknut

The list looks fine but the introduction needs some work:

@Jimknut: I think I've made all changes you asked for. Thanks for the review. Cowlibob (talk) 08:31, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support — I made a few corrections to the text of the introduction. It looks fine now. Jimknut (talk) 20:19, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great work, and the lede is excellent, very well-referenced. --Carioca (talk) 20:08, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Oppose~~ for now: It is poor writing to have every second sentence start with "In (Year)". See WP:PROSELINE. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:27, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Crisco 1492: I take your point. Reworked the lead so it's less like that. Cowlibob (talk) 17:00, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved concerns from SNUGGUMS

Oppose for now.....

"founded her own production company, Fortis Films and starred"..... add a comma after "films"
"In 2009 she starred"..... needs comma after "2009"
"She was also nominated at the Academy Awards, British Academy Film Awards, and Golden Globe Awards"..... If these are all for Gravity, state so more explicitly.
"Gravity is her highest grossing"..... I'd add "film" after "grossing"
FN10 (2014 Oscars) is dead
Publisher for The New York Times is Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, Jr.
The "M" should be capitalized in AllMovie
TV Guide should be italicized
Work/publisher fields only need to be linked in first ref used
Something tells me "television films" should be in the "film" section

Not too bad, but needs a bit of work. Snuggums (talk / edits) 19:20, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: Fixed all above points except one. Thanks for the review. I figure television film roles should be in television section as they are first a television role they just happen to be feature length. Cowlibob (talk) 20:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support I have no remaining concerns. Snuggums (talk / edits) 23:30, 27 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@SNUGGUMS: I see where the confusion was. I'm using that ref to support the first part of the sentence not the breakthrough bit and have moved it up to reflect that. Cowlibob (talk) 08:35, 29 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
