 * Lead


 * Can you add the dates in brackets that she appeared in Home and Away and the other two series?
 * Done.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   19:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Can you mention the directors of her most critically acclaimed films like Mullholland Drive and 21 Grams and the other leading actor. E.g.
 * "Watts gained critical acclaim following her work in David Lynch's 2001 psychological thriller Mulholland Drive, starring alongside Justin Theroux and Laura Harring.
 * Done.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   19:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

This section is very good and thorough but..
 * Early life
 * "Watts' mother relocated the family several times around Wales and England, in most cases to be near a new boyfriend. Peter Watts left Pink Floyd in 1974, he and Edwards were later reconciled." Sources please.
 * The sentence is sourced by the citation that sources Peter Watts' overdose.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   19:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Return To Eden - Wikilink.
 * Done.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   19:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Career


 * Early work, 1986–2000


 * The coverage here is very poor indeed. imagine I'm a reader who wants to know what she did before becoming a Hollywood star. You've almost completely ignored the 1990s! I'd expect a solid coverage of the 1986-2000 even though she was not acclaimed then. Not even a mention of Home and Away and her character and the other Aussie series. This needs to be expanded about three-fold in my view with adequate coverage of her television work but above all this need a much better coverage of her 90s films. They may have been B movies and not important roles but you should still cover more of her films and the sorts of roles that she played.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:44, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I've added the info I could find about early roles and mentioned her appearance in Home and Away. What you think now? --Gunt50 (talk) 01:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Much better, I also filled in some gaps, that's fine now.

"Her financial situation led her to take a job out of the film industry" What was this? ♦ Dr. Blofeld  11:07, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I tried to find out what was her job, but I don't seem to find nothing other than the statement of the source.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   17:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That's OK.♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)


 * 2001–2004
 * I want to see more information about her actual roles and film background throughout this entire section like you've done in later sections. |Especially for the critically acclaimed films. I want to see things like in 2001, Watts starred alongside xxx in xxx's critically acclaimed thriller xxx, portraying a xxx. Or Watts plays the character of xxx, a woman who is xxx.
 * Done.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   21:29, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Filmography
 * Please ensure that every role listed on imdb is presented here including the television series. You might consider splitting into a separate article if it gets too long.
 * I completed the filmography with the missing roles on TV movies, series, etc. Now it's complete.-- GD uwen    Tell me!   17:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

The sections from 2005 - end look fine and seem to contain an adequate coverage with appropriate reviews and material. Naturally I would like to see more book sources used in this article but it is not essential for this to pass GA. Should you ever consider taking this to FA at a late date I strongly encourage you to try to improve its resoursecfulness by researching through materual for possible material. I am prepared to pass this article on condition that the 1986-2000 era is greatly improved and matches the quality and coverage of the later sections. You don't have to cover every single film in detail but as a biography I would expected you to give a fair coverage of all parts of her career, even though she was not a major star then. At present there is undue weight on her success. I want to see at least five films/TV series from this period covered and I also want to know what character she played in Home and Away as I can't remember her and I watched Home and Away from around 1988! I am putting this on hold for a few days until the 1986-2000 period is considerably expanded.♦ Dr. Blofeld  18:04, 28 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Nice work, both!  Lugnuts  (talk) 13:32, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

We now have pass. Congratulations. But if you decide to develop this into a FA please look in google books to see if you can improve it!♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:43, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
