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 Career section, this sentence ---> "Ayola's first film role was female lead in the 1993 film Great Moments In Aviation", reads odd.

- In the Career section, this sentence ---> "Ayola's first film role was female lead in the 1993 film Great Moments In Aviation", reads odd.
- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:
- Throughout the article, link "Sahara", "thriller", "Waking the Dead", "Zimbabwean", "Western Mail", and "Dido" to their correspondence articles. Since this article is Welsh, in the Career section, wouldn't "cancel" be "cancelled"? Also, per here. Same section, could the dates be given ---> "Ayola's other notable television appearances include the BBC psychological thriller Green-Eyed Monster, soap opera EastEnders, Channel 4 drama Offenders, as well as Waking the Dead, London's Burning, Murder in Mind, The Canterbury Tales and Sea of Souls", so that it can provide context for the reader.

- Many thanks for your review! I believe I've addressed all the points you raised, apart from the lack of an image. Much as I would like the include one, there are unfortunately none available in the public domain at the present time. I will, however, be sure to add one should one become available in the future :) Frickative 22:41, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, just trying to help. Yes, you've gotten the concerns and thank you. Like I've said, I can't fail the article because there's no image, so its fine. Thank you to Frickative for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 22:57, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
