Jennifer Connelly

I've listed this article for peer review because I want to nominate it to FA. The article has been corrected by the Guild of Copy Editors and now I need help to correct other things missing or mistaken along the article. I think it is comprehensive but needs an additional review to fix the details.

Finetooth comments: This is interesting and generally well-done but not quite ready for FAC. Here are a few suggestions for further improvement.

Career

• The "Monologue of Love" infobox look strange to me. Most articles have only one infobox, although I have seen exceptions. This one, though, overlaps two sections and displaces two edit buttons. In addition, it does not add much information. Might it be better to use File:Monologue of Love Jennifer Connelly.jpg by itself (with a caption), to eliminate the infobox, and to add any information in it to the main text? Most of the info is already part of the main text; you could just add the seven-inch format, the B-side, and the record company info to the sentence about "Monolugue of Love". You might have to make it a separate sentence to keep the existing sentence from getting too long.

Early career

• "The big-budget Disney film The Rocketeer failed[27] to ignite her career."Jennifer Connelly". Allmovie. http://allmovie.com/artist/jennifer-connelly-14510/bio." - The embedded link to Allmovie should be turned into an inline citation.

Early 2000s

• Quote boxes and blockquotes are usually used for quotations of four lines or more. The one in this section is about a half-line and would be better, I think, if worked into the main text. The quote box also creates a text sandwich with the image on the opposite side of the page, and this is a layout no-no. Moving the quote into the text would solve both problems.

2005–2007

• File:Jennifer Connelly TIFF09.jpg overlaps two sections and displaces an edit button, at least on my computer screen. This could be fixed, I think, by using the "upright" parameter instead of "200px" and moving the image up slightly.

2008–2011

• "played the Princeton University astrobiologist Dr. Helen Benson" - Per the Manual of Style, I would remove the academic title, "Dr.". The description is sufficient.

• "The movie is set during the writing of On the Origin of Species and depicts that struggle along with Darwin's religious wife, Emma, who opposed his theories while they were in deep grief over the death of their daughter Annie." - This sentence is a bit awkward. Perhaps "The movie, set during the writing of On the Origin of Species, depicts Darwin's struggle with the material and with his wife, who opposed his theories. Both are in mourning over the death of their daughter Annie."

• "The same year she voiced 7, in the animation film 9." - I'm assuming that 7 is a character, but I think that should be made explicit; i.e., "she voiced the character named 7" or something like that.

• It's generally best to place directional images so that they look into the page rather than out. File:JenniferConnellycomiccon.JPG would look better if positioned on the right.

• "The Vanderveers are members of the Church of the Third Millennium, conducted by pastor Dan," - Is "conducted" the right word? Maybe "led"?

Personal life

• "She was featured in an ad highlighting the need for clean water of people globally with the end result that people made donations to drilling projects in Africa, India, and Central America." - A bit roundabout. Suggestion: "She was featured in an ad highlighting the global need for clean water. The ad encouraged donations to drilling projects in Africa, India, and Central America."

• I'd work the short quote in the quote box into the main text and move the image to the right side of the page.

References

• The date formatting in the reference section needs to be consistent. I see three different formats, for example, across citations 1, 4, and 66.

• The all-caps parts of citations like 5 need to be rendered in Wikipedia house style even if the source uses all-caps; i.e., "Jennifer Connelly Feeling More at Home in Her Career".

• Newspaper and magazine titles like People Magazine in citation 1 and Wall Street Journal in citation 114 need to be in italics.

• Citation 111 is malformed.

• Citation 52 is incomplete.

Other

• The tools in the toolbox at the top of this review page find two dead URLS in the citations and three links that go to disambiguation pages instead of their intended targets.

• Please make sure that the existing text includes no copyright violations, plagiarism, or close paraphrasing. For more information on this please see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-04-13/Dispatches. (This is a general warning given in view of previous problems that have risen over copyvios.)

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider commenting on any other article at WP:PR. I don't usually watch the PR archives or make follow-up comments. If my suggestions are unclear, please ping me on my talk page. Finetooth (talk) 22:45, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
