Career

Link "typecast"
- Done
"Baker was typecast after The Brothers ended in late 1976." can you list some roles where he played a similar character?
- I can't find a citation for this. It appears that he went back to the theatre immediately after finishing The Brothers, so I have changed it to "The Brothers ended in late 1976. To avoid being typecast, Baker returned to the theatre..."
"(1974-5)" - > "(1974-1975)" per MOS:DATERANGE
- Updated
"cliffhanger to Part One" -> "cliffhanger to "Part One""
- Done
"(reminding him that the series was titled Doctor Who, not Maxil)" either make this a quote or cut it because the way it is doesn't really fit
- Cut
Cut "(no relation)"
- Done
"costume (similar to the Ninth Doctor's) which" reword this as it seems to imply Baker wanted it to be similar to Nine, a character who would not exist for twenty years
- Done
"television (with a reduced episode count) for" make those parenthesis into commas
- Done
I think note B could be included in prose
- Updated
"the [game show] [Weakest Link]" is an MOS:SOB violation
- Updated
"[The Sign] [of the Four]" this seems like a mistake
- Corrected
Mention some of his later work post 2012
- Will do. Are you happy with how I have structured the After Doctor Who section? Where TV, film, audio and presenting work are in separate paragraphs? Or is there a better way to do this?
"[Honda Civic] [hatchback]" MOS:SOB
- Updated
"Look Who's Talking, Second Thoughts[91][110] and Sixth Sense.[111]" those refs are oddly distributed, move 91 to after "Look Who's Talking"
- Done

Alot of the SFN's have an unused "|p=" parameter, this should be cut

Alot of the citation titles have MOS:DASH violations
