Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 14:41, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Infobox and lead

• Add a year date after Deep Azure.

• It's a play, they don't have a fixed date. It premiered in 2005 but there have been other performances. Kingsif (talk) 21:45, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Infobox and lead prose looks good.

Early life and education

• Remove the comma after "textile factory".

• Done, added one earlier in the sentence - grammar because of "and" build-up. Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Add a comma after "Limba people from Sierra Leone".

• Not strictly necessary but done. Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Several of his plays need year dates.

• See above. Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Remove the comma after "write and direct".

• No, it's needed ("and" build-up again). Kingsif (talk) 21:47, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Career

• Add a comma after "Company of New York".

• Done Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Year dates.

• It's the career section. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Remove the comma after "Company in Chicago".

• Split sentence. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• "or impression" → "nor impression"

• Done. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• "highest grossing" → "highest-grossing"

• In Both films were the highest grossing of the year they were released, with Endgame going on to become the highest-grossing film of all time. -? If so, no: "highest-grossing" is the adjective, which isn't what "highest grossing" in the first clause is being used for. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• "of their" → "about their"

• Done. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Remove the comma after "before taking the role".
• Remove the comma after "opening lines".

• No to these, too. In the first instance it is introducing another primary clause (there's much more information after the "but"), in the second it is used to indicate the next clause applies to the subject of the previous clause ("given a nod") rather than simply continuing to describe the "opening lines". Grammar is an art. Kingsif (talk) 21:58, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Appraisal and legacy

• "embodying character" should be plural.

• No it shouldn't. Regardless of how many characters he played, that is a singular skill. Each character has character, and being able to embody that concept is the skill. "Embodying characters" is just "acting". Kingsif (talk) 22:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Personal life

• This section looks good.

Illness and death

• "for creation" → "for the creation"

• Done. Kingsif (talk) 22:00, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Filmography

• For The Glades, does Facebook need to be cited?

• It's his official Facebook, so akin to a press release, and it's used for the episode title. Kingsif (talk) 22:02, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Can a more reliable (secondary) source such as this be used instead? Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 22:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Yes, replaced. Kingsif (talk) 22:45, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Playwright

• Table looks good.

Awards and honors

• This section also looks good.

References

• Archive all archivable sources (either manually with the help of this and this, or with this tool).

• You'll be pleased to know everything is already archived! (At least, it's not been long since I last ran IAbot, but I've run it again) Kingsif (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Add a correct title, author, and overall parameters to the reference in the infobox.

• Done Kingsif (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• Deadline → Deadline Hollywood

• What? Even that article says it's just called "Deadline" and the Hollywood part is web branding. Kingsif (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

• There is a copy of the reference titled "The 'Black Panther' Revolution" (recite instead).
