Where have you got User:SandyGeorgia as main editor from? They don't appear ever to have edited this article. User:ThinkBlue appears to be the only editor with any significant contributions. Mogism (talk) 21:28, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I dont know what I was thinking about. Thanks!--BabbaQ (talk) 21:30, 31 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I rewrote the text above as a summary of the lead section in a little over 1200 characters. Was there anything I left out you'd like to see put back in? Also, have you notified ThinkBlue about this nomination? - Dank (push to talk) 20:40, 1 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, that is true I guess. --BabbaQ (talk) 22:34, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support - article looks good. If there is a problem with having several actors/actresses on the Main Page for a certain amount of time, I suppose we could wait to have it on the MP for a little while, if anybody gets too picky.--GouramiWatcher^(?) 23:41, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
