Gail Boggs[edit]
- ... that long before portraying Louise Brown in the 1990 movie Ghost, Gail Boggs portrayed Silvia in a performance of The Two Gentlemen of Verona in 1971?

Hi Cheryl and Chris. DYK rules requires that the article needs to be less than a week old and to have 1500 characters of new pure text. In this article the lists don't count. You need to extend the first paragraph by quite a lot and make sure there is at least one citation per para. Welcome. Victuallers (talk) 07:26, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
- Victuallers I added more content to bring the article above the minimum length. Also, I moved this into mainspace on the 6th, so it should be new enough. Chris Troutman (talk) 21:04, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry I only offered advice and I think this may have deterred other reviewers Victuallers (talk) 13:26, 24 August 2014 (UTC)
New enough, long enough, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. The hook refs need a citation right after the sentence in question. In the lead, if you're saying she's "best known" for her role as Louise Brown in Ghost, that also needs a cite. Otherwise the article looks okay; I added a Personal section to describe her husband and children. I'm wondering why you didn't include anything about her early life or education? The Age mentions that she was a top gymnast in her youth, though I can't find any other source to verify that. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:40, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- I don't understand what you want cited. The fact that she played Louise in Ghost is cited. The fact that she played Silvia in The Two Gentlemen of Verona is cited. The hook doesn't make any claim about "best known"; the article's lede does and that's outside the criteria for DYK. Chris Troutman (talk) 00:48, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- Per Wikipedia:Did you know, 3. Cited hook (b), there needs to be a cite right after the hook ref. I put a cn tag where the Silvia cite should go. Wikipedia:Did you know, 4. Within policy requires that the article meets Wikipedia standards. Saying that it's her "best-known role" is a POV call, unless you can source it. Yoninah (talk) 10:11, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- P.S. I just looked at your 3 cites for her role as Louise Brown, and none of them say "Louise Brown". Yoninah (talk) 10:14, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I added a citation to indicate her character in Ghost was called Louise Brown. I added the citation about her "big break" exactly where you asked for it. I removed the claim about "best known." Chris Troutman (talk) 16:23, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
