- It is reasonably well written.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- To be honest when I first clicked on this I thought this might be enough to fail the whole article, but the rest is so well done that I think it is better to explore this more. The article is very short, especially for an actor with over 100 films to his namee. Is there just not much information about him out there? I found this after quite a search, which mentions some hobbies and a daughter. Others [1] [2] [3] [4]. An interview would be awesome (one of those links suggests he did one). Mayne these can help or you can find more.
- Thanks for these - there are a very few little bits around, but not an awful lot - he was not really in the press much as he was normally not a lead actor, but a cast member. I'll do a bit more digging around on this bit too. - SchroCat (^ • @) 00:34, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Cork and Stutz observed that Lee was "very close to Fleming's version of the character",[10] whilst Rubin commented on the serious, efficient, no-nonsense authority figure. Who are these people? Why is there view important.
- Drinkin is in some of those articles.
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.

Comments edit
Well done on the expansion. You deserve a lot of credit for getting as much information as you have. Unfortunately some prose issues have been introduced. They should be easily fixed though. I made some changes myself, feel free to revert any you don't agree with.[5]
- work on the West End stage in thrillers, such as Blind Man's Bluff[4] and Ten Minute Alibi, where he played in a comedic role with Arthur Askey. It is unclear which play involved Askey (both or just the Ten Minute Alibi).
- After wartime service in the army between 1940 and 1946,[6] with the Royal Sussex Regiment;[5] whilst Lee was awaiting his demob he attended golfing ladies night and met a producer, also a fellow guest, and Lee was offered a part in the play "Stage Door" This needs revising. Saying too much and too many commas to follow easily.
- He returned to the stage whilst also developing a successful film career Is this Stage Door? What time frame is this? How does it fit in with the sentences around it?
- During the 1950s he appeared in a long run on stage as Able Seaman Turner... Not sure on this. "Appeared in a long run on stage" doesn't sound right.
- gave him a cheque for $6,000 to clear his debts note saying that everyone has a spot of trouble once in a while Something went wrong here, how does note fit in.
- Three years after the fire, Lee married television director's assistant Ursula McHale[19] who was present at his death. who was present at his death would fit in better under death. It looks wrong here.
- On 16 January 1981, Lee died at the Royal Free Hospital in London after a battle with stomach cancer, just six days after his 73rd birthday, having been admitted to hospital in November 1980 I would work the admitted into hospital first then the death if possible.
- because of Lee's suffering from his condition. Would after witnessing Lee's suffereing be better?
- Lee died after filming had started on For Your Eyes Only, but before he could film his scenes as M, as he had done in the previous eleven films of the James Bond series He died on the other films too?? :) Might need rewording to make it clearer.
- During the 1950s he was in a long run on stage I still not sure about this. "He had a long run on stage"? AIRcorn (talk) 08:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
Fantastic news - thanks very much for the trouble you went to on this: it's much appreciated! Cheers - SchroCat (^ • @) 10:23, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
I don't mean to be a spoil sport but this article is severerly lacking adequate discussion of his career as an actor. It blindly ignores discussion of his theatrical career, ignores decades of his career let alone critical commentary on his acting roles aside from M.♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:08, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
Mathematical issue edit
I read that Lee's career spanned 1934 to 1979, beginning on stage at the age of six. That seems to suggest he was born in 1928. Yet, I also see he was born in 1908, so he turned six in 1914, not 1934. Was "six" meant to say "twenty six"? -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 06:22, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
