Talk:Kerry Ellis

Wicked
There is a difference between a standby and an understudy. Kerry was a standby; she was never in the ensemble of the production (which is an understudy), but instead remained near the theatre and was called in when Idina Menzel could not perform (standby). RECblue8 19:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

A Reminder
This page is an entry in an encyclopaedia, NOT a fanpage. 78.149.121.230 (talk) 18:52, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I've put a "Fansite" tag on because this article is written pretty much as a list of everything this person ever does. So many non-notable appearances are included, making the whole article far to big and totally unwieldy. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 16:56, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

Assessment
I have assessed this article as C-class. I see that you have done lots of good work on this article. To progress to B-class, I suggest the following (not a comprehensive list): 1. Lots of sources are listed, but only a few of them are from major newspaper reviews - The Times, etc. Too many are from Ellis's own website, blogs (these are probably not WP:Reliable sources) and playbill/what'sonstage. Let's hear directly from the critics or well-known (blue-linked) commentators. 2. The lead is too short - it should give an overview of the whole article; probably three paragraphs or so. 3. The prose in this article contains lots of trivia, repetition and unencyclopedic information that should be edited down to the encyclopedic information. For example: "Brian May, who had been keeping a keen eye on Ellis, followed her career as it developed." This does not add anything to what we know about Ellis. Another example: a statement is made that Ellis spoke with OK magazine but doesn't tell us anything about Ellis. Instead, read the source and tell us the information that is in the source that gives us details about Ellis and her career. I suspect that this article could be 50% shorter and still convey more useful information than it does now. 4. Some of the "appearances" mentioned in the article are merely promotional events for whatever she was performing. Make sure that her most important performances are given more importance and discussion in the article than the less important or merely promotional appearances.

merge
List of awards and nominations received by Kerry Ellis should be merged into Kerry Ellis. Four awards is not something that cannot easily be contained within an indiviual's article. Ilikeeatingwaffles (talk) 17:07, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

Daily Mail reference
This Daily Mail reference says that Ellis is originally from Harleston, Suffolk. If this is incorrect, it might be worth rethinking using that source.-- Beloved Freak  22:37, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
