Early education

This article has long stated that Langenkamp graduated from Booker T. Washington High School (Tulsa, Oklahoma), and was a student there when she got her first acting job, in Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders (1983). However, an October 30, 2009 Tulsa World profile[1] states that she attended "high school in Washington, D.C.", and was "working as a copy clerk at the Tulsa Tribune" when she got the part in The Outsiders; this article doesn't mention Booker T. Washington High at all. Many websites state that she graduated from BTW in 1982, but I have not yet spotted any that qualify as reliable sources. If not, this may need to be changed. --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:42, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Heather Langenkamp/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Some POV stuff - "Langenkamp's innocent look", for instance - who says? Needs editing back or giving an independent citation to support the remark. Citation and reference needed generally. Picture needed also. Edofedinburgh 21:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I'm going to be reviewing this article. Expect comments by the end of the week. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 12:53, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox and lead

Infobox looks good.
"lowbudget" → "low-budget"
"Award–winning" → "Award-winning" (dashes)

Early life

This section looks good.

Career

The sentence ending with "attack" is unsourced.
"low budget" → "low-budget"
You can't cite IMDb after "previous attempts" per WP:IMDB. Find a replacement.

Personal life

"of brain tumor" → "of a brain tumor"

Filmography

Per consistency with other GA-articles, every single one of her projects needs a source for verification.

Awards and nominations

Same thing with this section (sources are needed for each award).

References

Archive all archivable (either manually or with this tool).
Check for sources in this article from Google Books, because most of them are missing page numbers.
The reference after "1982" is a bare link.
The references after "youngest housewife" and "Variety Series" should not be in all caps per MOS:ALLCAPS.
Mark references from The New York Times with "|url-access=limited".
Mark references from Los Angeles Times with "|url-access=limited".
People.com → People
Overall, a lot of references are missing several parameters (authors/dates/access-dates/websites) and just look bad, so try fixing them.

Progress

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

Did she work on "Your Monster"?

Mark Kermode claimed in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkgFMsLbwkc that the film "Your Monster" lists both David LeRoy Anderson and Heather Langenkamp Anderson on special effects/makeup. However, IMDB currently only lists the former. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22741760/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st#cast I haven't seen it myself and can't verify what its actual credits say. 2601:245:CE01:5D20:88CF:FF:7463:54A1 (talk) 04:16, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
