I will start the review today. I'm likely to be slow with this review. If you think I'm too slow, please let me know as soon as possible. I'm an extremely slow reviewer but my aim is always to pass rather than fail; I would rather push to improve an article than simply fail the review. I will normally help with minor improvement rather than listing them here. Anything more significant than minor improvements, I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the GA criteria. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 20:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Pass

Query

Hi Ankit2299! can you reference the claims on the third paragraph under the "introduction" section, the first paragraph under the "Early life and education" section, the first paragraph under the "Career" section, and the second paragraph under the same section?

Fail

The article failed the GA criteria. None of the issues raised was addressed by the nominator. It seems they are not ready for the review but they can leave a message on my talk page when they are ready. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 09:15, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

General comments

I think a good article under a subject like this should have a filmography table. The table should follow the format; Year - Title - Role - Note - Source. Where "Year" is the year of the film's release date. Please see MOS:YEAR. "Title" is the title of the work. "Role" is the role played by Tom as it is written and presented in the credits of the work. Both "Note" and "Source" sections are optional. The "Note" section may include additional information such as medium, episode titles, or awards while the "source" section should be used when the role or the work itself may be obscure or difficult to verify. See Kate Beckinsale. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 15:22, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

Wikicology, are you going to continue with this review? It appears abandoned after no activity in over a month. Snuggums (talk / edits) 04:40, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I don't think I will like to continue. I will close it any moment from now. If you are willing to help, please do. Warm regards. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 06:07, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
