This peer review discussion has been closed. I've listed this article for peer review because I want to get it to featured status; is there a need to cover other facets of the industry that are not mentioned in the article? How is the writing (I"m not sure about the quality of that)?

Thanks, &#91;&#91;User:HumanFrailty&#93;&#93; (talk) 23:34, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Ruhrfisch comments: Great topic and while it is clear a lot of work has been done on the article, it is still a long way from FA. Here are some suggestions for improvement with FAC in mind. Hope this helps. If my comments are useful, please consider peer reviewing an article, especially one at Peer review/backlog (which is how I found this article).

 * Per WP:LEAD the lead should not be more than four paragraphs, this is six paragraphs. There should also be a lead image if at all possible
 * The lead should be an accessible and inviting overview of the whole article, so nothing important should be in the lead only - since it is a summary, it should all be repeated in the body of the article itself. My rule of thumb is to include every header in the lead in some way
 * Article needs more references, for example many paragraphs and some sections have no refs at all. My rule of thumb is that every quote, every statistic, every extraordinary claim and every paragraph needs a ref.
 * Internet refs need URL, title, author if known, publisher and date accessed. cite web and other cite templates may be helpful. See WP:CITE and WP:V
 * Article has many short paragraphs of one or two sentences - these should be combined with others or perhaps expanded. Several of the sections are also very short and could becombined perhaps.
 * Does the article really need two sections on actors and actresses - can't they be combined? Why is there no identification of the awards received in Award winning actors and actress?
 * There is nothing on critical reception as a whole - what have critics thought about the Sri Lankan cinema? Besides actors what about directors, cinematographers, etc?
 * What about awards in general? Is there a Sri Lankan Oscars or BAFTA?
 * Put the table of top ten films in chronological order (1997) not before 1901.
