Hi, I'll be reviewing this article (p.s. I have extended confirmed rights now, so I should be able to make edits) NightBag10 (talk) 03:20, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

I have completed my initial review. This page has only a few issues standing in its way to becoming a GA. Please ping me if you have any questions; I'll check back regularly to see updates. NightBag10 (talk) 05:13, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

References

• Make sure all references have a standardized format. For web pages, make sure an access date is listed.

@NightBag10: All references say "Retrieved" and then the date, meaning an access date is listed. There was only one reference missing it (#95) which I fixed. Otherwise, they are all standardized to my knowledge. Let me know if there's specific changes that need to be changed. oncamera 05:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Career

• The "Career" section goes back-and-forth between his works, some areas should be rewritten to be more direct and straightforward.

Can you be more specific? oncamera 05:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Personal Image

• I would remove this section, since it talks too much about his physical appearance and does not add any encyclopedic information.

Featured Articles of actors like Angelina Jolie, Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal and more have similar sections related to their physical appearance and style. That in on par with being an actor it seems and should remain in the article. oncamera 05:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

@Oncamera: All three articles don't talk about their physical appearance the same way Rami Malek's does, they talk about their relationships, family members, addictions and other things. Malek's talks about his eye color, skin color, hair and jaw. NightBag10 (talk) 17:01, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

@NightBag10: Perhaps it could use some trimming but it should not be deleted in its entirety. Plenty of valid information that is sourced and pertains to his public image. Being a fashion icon and known for his unusual appearance is something is commonly mentioned about him. Also relevant to his career choice. oncamera 09:36, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Awards and nominations

• The last paragraph talks about Egyptian government officials, which has nothing to do with awards or nominations, it should be removed.

It has information pertaining to the reception of his Academy award in Egypt. Considering he is the first person of Egyptian heritage to win one of the highest awards for acting, I think it is relevant to his award section. oncamera 05:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Copyright violations

• There is large sum of text that appears on the Wikipedia page and this page, but I'm not sure if it was just copied from Wikipedia.

That site copied the Wikipedia article. All sentences are sourced here and you can look through the history as the article was developed over the past 6-8 months to see it being written little by little. oncamera 05:33, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks!

I've been on wikibreak due to some personal issues, but I'm happy to come back and see that this article has been passed! Thank you @NightBag10:!--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 13:36, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

@Esprit15d: No problem. Also, I might've "stole" your edit notice. NightBag10 ^(talk) 15:19, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
