[edit] Jonathan Pryce

The article has been a GA for over a month now, it has been copy edited many times since then by different users and i think it could now be considered a FA. Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 15:19, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Oppose. Thanks for your hard work on the article, but it has some issues that need to be addressed before it can be promoted to FA. In particular, I am worried about its comprehensiveness and the reliability of certain sources, and I believe it may need another copyedit. Here are some more detailed suggestions.
    • The article could do with another copyedit. In particular, the early life section does not flow well, and the 1980s section has some repetitive word choices.
    • The 1970s section and early life section are both very short. Is thare any way to combine them or to flesh out any of them? Did he receive any critical notice (good or bad) for his first few roles?
    • Why is there an mdash in the sentence about his meeting and marrying? To me that seems to be better suited to be multiple sentences.
    • Need a citation for the claim that he "had a small but pivotal role" in the Hitchhiker's Guide, and for the claim that Breaking Glass "is remarkable"
    • The article does a good job of describing the movies that he acted in, but I think it could use more information about how the performances were perceived by critics.
    • Please move the succession box to the bottom of the article. This is not supposed to be used as article content.
    • I don't think the following count as reliable sources: The geocities cite for ref 26, the onsayfa for ref 7, ref 18 (Hal Leonard online), ref 22 (allocine.co.uk), ref 28, ref 35.
