Hi Skywalker, I plan to review this by Saturday. JuniperChill (talk) 18:42, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
Please note that I also have an ongoing GAN, and I'm really busy IRL so this is likely to take at least a week or two for me to review. In the meantime, I have reviewed GA criteria 4 (more info below) and found no problems. JuniperChill (talk) 18:07, 18 February 2026 (UTC)
- No problem. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 01:41, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- I'm reviewing criteria 3, 4 and 6 today and found no issues with all of them. I'll go ahead and continue with the rest later tomorrow (UK time). JuniperChill (talk) 23:09, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 06:54, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

Prose review (1)
Lead and early life section
- Does pilot need a capital letter?
- No, as "pilot" is stated in the context of the pilot episode, rather than the episode title Pilot.
- "the youngest of three children of David Foy and Caroline Stimpson" Are these referencing her parents?
- Yes
- Perhaps you could include that she was born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, as readers are much more likely to know about Manchester than Stockport.
- Done
- Why is Buckinghamshire not linked while Longwick is?
- Corrected
- Where it says "from the age of 12 until 2002", its best to be consistent so that readers don't have to do maths, so it can be changed to "between 1996 and 2002", which is allowed per WP:CALC.
- Done
- The infobox says that she's active since 2002, but in the body, it begins from 2008. Should it be changed to 2008 in the infobox? (added 24 Feb at 22:30 UTC)
- Done
If I add more, then its because I save my work every now and then. I'll go ahead and review the other sections from Monday. This reminds me of when I reviewed Matilda Freeman a few months ago, as she's also a British actress. JuniperChill (talk) 23:05, 21 February 2026 (UTC)
- I have updated the article per your notes SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 10:37, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
Career
2008-2015
No issues
2016-2019
- "who from the third season portrayed the Queen in middle age" add comma after "season"
- Done
2020-present
- What is COO?
- Changed to "Chief operating officer"
- I have changed it to "executive" to avoid a lengthy sentence.
- Changed to "Chief operating officer"
Personal life
- Is there any update regarding the stalker whether or not he's been repatriated to the US?
- I can't find any sources that confirm this.
- Fair enough
- I can't find any sources that confirm this.
Verifiability, copyright and spot checks (2)
- The article is cited to reliable sources and contains no original research. While Metro is listed as unreliable, I think it falls under soap operas, so I think its safe there.
- I did an Earwig copyvio check (returned 57% similarity) and I think that this site must have copied from Wikipedia, so a {{Backwards copy}} template should be added to the talk page. This similar scenario happened when I reviewed American crow for DYK and though that it was a showstopper. JuniperChill (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi @JuniperChill, how do I add this template? Do I just add it to the top of the Talk page? SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 09:20, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- I've added it for you JuniperChill (talk) 20:09, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks @JuniperChill. I have updated the page per your notes. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 23:15, 25 February 2026 (UTC)
- While I'm doing spotchecks, what is the decision regarding to change the active years in the infobox from 2002 to 2008? JuniperChill (talk) 20:43, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
- @JuniperChill I will change it to 2008 as that is when she started acting professionally. SkywalkerEccleston (talk) 20:32, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for making these changes @SkywalkerEccleston:! I'll go ahead and close this nomination as a pass! JuniperChill (talk) 22:15, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

- (as of this revision) Checking 10 sources: 7, 11, 26, 42, 51, 63, 66,, 84, 112, 115.
Other criteria (3-6)
- 3 - Broad - The article is currently (exactly) 1300 words and addresses the main parts of the topic and doesn't too much off-topic
- 4 - Neutral - Article conforms to the NPOV, no issues there.
- 5 - Stable - I can confirm that the article is stable, as the article doesn't change significantly day to day, and although there has been two reverts this month because of a dispute regarding the source was a tabloid, that happened a couple weeks ago (and that the last edit was on the 6th) so no problems there.
- 6 - Illustrated - All four images in the article are tagged with their copyright status (all copyright free, one of which is in the public domain), relevant to the article and have suitable captions
