Keanu Reeves is a Canadian actor who has had an extensive film career. He is known for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), The Matrix (1999), and more recently John Wick (2014). This list describes the roles he has had throughout his career with appropriate referencing. As always I welcome constructive comments on how to improve it.

  • Well, you learn something new every day. I never knew Keanu was Canadian......
  • Comments
    • "The following year, Reeves appeared in the crime film River's Edge. In the same year, he starred in the television films Babes in Toyland, Act of Vengeance, and Brotherhood of Justice." - I would combine these two sentences as the first is very short.
    • "dies of suicide" is an odd and unnatural sounding choice of words. Why not just "commits suicide"?
    • "He played time-travelling slacker Ted "Theodore" Logan in the science fiction comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989) with Alex Winter.[3] It was his breakthrough role, and the film was an unexpected commercial success" - again, I would combine this, maybe as "His breakthrough role came when he played time-travelling slacker Ted "Theodore" Logan, alongside Alex Winter as Bill S. Preston Esq in the science fiction comedy Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989), which was an unexpected commercial success"
    • "In 1991 he starred in action film Point Break with Patrick Swayze. In the same year, he appeared in the science fiction comedy sequel Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey and independent drama My Own Private Idaho" - again very "choppy" short sentences, which I think could be combined
    • "He starred as a police officer in the action thriller Speed (1994) with Sandra Bullock.[6] The film was a commercial success and garnered critical acclaim" - same again
    • "He reunited with Bullock on the 2006 romantic drama" - I would say in, not on
    • In the TV table, two titles starting with "The" sort under T, when they should sort under the next word
    • Think that's it from me. My main advice is to eliminate some of the really short sentences in the lead -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:12, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@ChrisTheDude: Thanks for your review, I have made amendments per above. Cowlibob (talk) 12:35, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comments from Lady Lotus
  • I have to really try and find things to comment on, good work from Cowlibob as always. I only have a few things:
    • On the sort for his characters name, Don Jon, it's sorted by "Don", shouldn't it be by "Jon"?
    • For his image, I would remove the image restraint of 200px and add "upright=1" or "upright=1.35" for the lead image
    • Regarding the references in the lead section - if the film and role is already referenced in the table below then I would remove the references from the lead. If it's referencing how well the film did then it could stay. Just try to remove the redundancy.
    • That's all I got really LADY LOTUS • TALK 18:27, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Lady Lotus: Thanks for your review, I've made the amendments as described. I'll try to have a look at your list later this week. Cowlibob (talk) 22:34, 15 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Source review from DanielleTH

  • Only concern: why is the online magazine Insider the only online magazine not italicized and the only source with a .com? Inconsistent from the rest of the sourcing.

Otherwise no issues. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 17:48, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@DanielleTH: Thanks for your source review. I've amended the reference above. Cowlibob (talk) 22:57, 20 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Great work. Support. DanielleTH (Say hi!) 00:45, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
