Please respond to my concerns at your convenience by starting a new line below each concern. I will striket my concerns as they are resolved.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:47, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
I feel a bit of wanting for this subject. The article starts "Rachel Hannah Weisz . . . is an English film and theatre actress and fashion model." The article says nothing more than "During the final years in school, she started modelling." which is misspelled by the way. Is there any chance of finding any information about this part of her career? Who did she model for back then? Is she a current spokesperson for any fashion or cosmetics companies?- Done I mentioned her beginnings at modeling at fourteen in Early life and background. Check out the section Personal life. I added some info about her career as a model.--Gunt50 (talk) 15:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- Why is Ambassador capitalized?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:35, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- sorry, I wrote it that way. It's already corrected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gunt50 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

The article talks about her roots in theatre. Has she done any theatre work since college in West End or on Broadway. A quick scan at www.ibdb.com yields an award for The Shape of Things, which is mentioned in the article. However, in the filmography section, I think theatre work should either be separated or noted in the notes column. It is difficult for the lazy reader to determine her stage work.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:23, 4 February 2011 (UTC)- Done We already separated both sections--Gunt50 (talk) 15:58, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
In general, I find my self looking at the various roles and thinking, was she any good at this or that. Many actor biographies start to become flush with critical commentary at about the time the quality level gets to GA. We know there are a lot of critical reviews that you are not mentioning. You may want to present those rather than just run through her roles.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
- I worked on that aspect adding the critical acclaim for her oscar-winning performance in The Constant Gardener and for The Whistleblower--Gunt50 (talk) 21:54, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- I guess what I am saying is that in addition to her roles for which she received elite nominations, her other roles need some critical review. If you are taking this to FAC, you will have to discuss each role more substantively in this regard. You will have to discuss modestly- and negatively-reviewed roles as well.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:23, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- There's a confusion here. By now we're trying to take the article to GA, not FAC.--Gunt50 (talk) 00:11, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
- I can let this pass.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 00:14, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
- Your intentions are to take it to FA?, if you think that's possible I'll be glad to do it.--Gunt50 (talk) 00:19, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

- I have just stumbled upon the awards section. This is good. However, there should be commentary in the theatre section regarding her critically received roles. I think it should be just like the motion picture section in this regard.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:28, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Why is the botox ban thing mentioned in the box and not in the article?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 20:53, 9 February 2011 (UTC)- Since it was only an opinion we didn't include on the article. Instead we did include a autobiographic statement as 'I was a bad student'. --Gunt50 (talk) 21:09, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- Alright Champ, I give up. I added it on Personal Life --Gunt50 (talk) 22:11, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- That would be better in a quote box. Again, see Clint Eastwood.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:18, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

- Early life and background
I think I would break the first paragraph after identifying her family. Then have a second paragraph on her upbringing.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:39, 4 February 2011 (UTC)- I broke the paragraph. You should take a look now.--Gunt50 (talk) 14:45, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
The role in King David, might deserve a mention if it was Bathsheba.- Would you translate that into Her majesty's English? --Gduwen (talk) 01:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- I am asking you to tell us what role she turned down if it was a notable one.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:25, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- I've been doing some search, but I can't find specifically which role was offered to her. The only fact named is that she turned down the role because her parents didn't agree and that also she was not sure of doing it.--Gduwen (talk) 17:26, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Does Cambridge Talking Tongues still exist?--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 05:46, 4 February 2011 (UTC)- I don't think that exists anymore, this source lists all the plays that the group did, and the last one was Hove in 93'.--Gduwen (talk) 01:48, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
- Its last play was in 1993. I clarified it on the lead.--Gunt50 (talk) 22:00, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
- The better place for that detail is in the main body. The lead is suppose to summarize the main body, which has further details.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 23:37, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

Checklist
editThis is a quality article that is on its way to FA. In order to make it there will need to be prose expansion to give the article more than a filmography chronology feel. More critical review will be needed.
- It is reasonably well written.
- It is factually accurate and verifiable.
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
- It is broad in its coverage.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
Needs more critical review of roles. See Clint Eastwood or Kate Winslet, which are two I have reviewed, for example. Technically, nothing is missing from the article because the basic element of each role is put forth in an encyclopedic manner, but the reader really should be given more.
- a (major aspects): b (focused):
- It follows the neutral point of view policy.
- Fair representation without bias:
- Fair representation without bias:
- It is stable.
- No edit wars, etc.:
- No edit wars, etc.:
- It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
- a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
- Both images need
{{personality rights}}
tags. The latter image needs WP:CAPTION tweaking because it is not a full sentence and thus should not end with a period.- Both are wrong now. Read WP:CAPTION#wording. If it is not a full sentence, it should not end in a period.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 01:33, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
