Comments
In general I think that this article is very well written and fully deserves GA status.

Critical reception
I think some quotes from reviews might be good here.

"List of Works" and "Other works based on Christie's books and plays"
I suggest that all the dotpoints be made into tables, not just the Novels. It'll shorten the article somewhat while still having the same information.


 * No offense meant to the reviewer or principal editors, but this article has significant problems that must be addressed if it is to be a GA. I will begin a community reassessment and highlight the problems I see there and encourage other people to provide comments on how the article might be improved, so that it is clear to all concerned what the requirements of the GA criteria are.--Jackyd101 (talk) 11:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

The first paragraph of the biography section is very confusing. I have not read her biography or autobiography. Could someone who has read them make the sentences clearer? Her mother is called Clara, right? So, who is Margaret? The American stockbroker is the child of Clara's stepfather? Who is this stepfather, does he have a name? The sentence about her two grannies being sisters starts out with "Thus" as if this easily followed from the previous phrases. I was befuddled. More facts, or less text on this aspect of Agatha Christie's life will make the paragraph clear and more interesting. Thanks! Prairieplant (talk) 05:22, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
