GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the Early life and career section, what do you mean with this ---> "knocking Morrissey's confidence"? Same section, "had no drama programmes and was the sort of place where the fear of bullying dissuaded pupils from joining in in lessons", are there supposed to be two "in"?
- Check.

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- In the lead, could the dates be given for his roles in television and films, so that it can provide context for the reader. In the Avoiding typecasting section, "Royal Shakespeare Company" was followed by ---> (RSC), I mean, I know what it means, but how 'bout your reader. In the Critical success section, you might want to explain what "MP" is for your reader.
- Check.

- Is it verifiable with no original research, as shown by a source spot-check?
- A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:
- B. Reliable sources are cited inline. All content that could reasonably be challenged, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose):
- Does Reference 8 cover all this ---> "Morrissey was cast in the leading role of MP Stephen Collins for Paul Abbott's BBC serial State of Play (David Yates, 2003). He was originally sent the scripts for the first three episodes in 2002. When he asked for the last three, Abbott told him that they were not ready, but told him how Collins's story concludes. Unsure how to approach this role, he was advised by friend, director Paul Greengrass, to get Collins's job as an MP and the chairman of an Energy Select Committee right. Morrissey contacted producer Hilary Bevan Jones, who set him up with Kevin Barron, a Select Committee chairman, and Fabian Hamilton. Both politicians educated Morrissey on how difficult it is to commute to London from a constituency outside the capital"?

- 1a. I've reworded both (FWIW, yes "joining in in" was correct!)
- 1b. Done.
- 2b. Yep.
- 6b. Do you mean a free i/box image? If so, there are no free images available on Flickr. I've left a note at the Doctor Who Wikiproject asking if anyone attending a sci-fi convention in March (that Morrissey is a guest at) can get a snap of him.
