David Mitchell (actor)

For an article about an English actor and comedian who isn't known that well outside if Britain, I think I've gone about as far as I can go without requesting other's opinions. It was rated as B class a while ago (no comments were left). I'm aiming for GA class with this, as right now it doesn't have the scope for FA. I need really to know if there are any prose issues, if anything else needs a reference (or if another as yet unused reference can be found) and if its covers everything. Plus of course anything else. Gran² 15:36, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

• Personally, I would focus in the lead more on Mitchell himself and less on Mitchell and Web. Reading the first paragraph of the lead, I thought: "If the most important elements about his career are about M & W, then why do we need an extended seperate article about him?"
• "At prep school". I don't like very much abbr. like prep etc. I think that in encyclopedical articles full words are better ("preparatory school").
• The "Mitchell and Webb" section of this article is longer than the Mitchell and Webb article. This is connected with my remarks about the lead. Maybe the main focus on the duo should be in the main article about the duo.
• "He has also written for series five of the BBC2 impressionist sketch show Dead Ringers.[26]" Avoid one-sentence stubby paragraphs.
• "Personal life" section is more of a "Personal opinions" section. The current content is still interesting, but do you have any real information about his personal life to add?
• It is nice the "Solo" section is enriched with critical approaches of his work. The more you add, the best for the article.

I think the article will go through GAC, but I'm not yet sure for FAC.--Yannismarou 19:00, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I was going for the angle of including everything he has done in detail. And as alot of that was him an Webb it only makes sense to include it. The actualy Mitchell and Webb article is a stub, that I wasn't even aware of until a month or so ago, I don't even thin its that necessary. About his personal life, there are a few sentences about his romantic life, which basically consists of him not having one, as he said on Parkinson the other week. He isn't married, and hasn't had any long term relationships as far as I can assertain. The other two changes you said have now been made. Also, thanks for the review! Gran² 19:09, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

I found a recent interview (May 5) with him, which helped add to the PL section. He cannot drive, and never learnt to, and has OCD! Didn't know that myself, but there we go. Gran² 20:40, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
