Lead

• Can you add the dates in brackets that she appeared in Home and Away and the other two series?

Done.--GDuwenTell 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.

Early life

This section is very good and thorough but..

• "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.--GDuwenTell me! 19:05, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

• Return To Eden - Wikilink.

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.--GDuwenTell 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.--GDuwenTell 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.--GDuwenTell me! 17:10, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

   Pass or Fail:

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)
