I unfortunately do not have a lot of experience at FA-related topics, although I have extensively reviewed/improved articles to GA. And this article is over 4000 words (unlike Ruby Rose Turner and Charlotte Jordan, which are both around 650 and Emily Flain at 450, all of which I improved to GA). Therefore, I only plan to do a mini preliminary-review from myself. I'm also here cause you have also improved young/child actresses to GA.

All ~240 sources are reliable, including the YouTube ones as they are published by reliable organisations. Seeing as Mckenna Grace is a 3700-word FA and is a few years younger than this one, I should see a chance that this could be an FA. I would also pass 1e (stable) since the article has not gone any major changes since 4 September. I may add more comments later. JuniperChill (talk) 15:50, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Hi, JuniperChill. Thanks for taking an interest in the article. It's nice that our paths are crossing again. I'd encourage you to do more FA reviewing; it's pretty fun, if a little stressful at times. If you want to, you can leave more extensive comments here, even if they're absolute crap, 'cuz I can always push back if needed. Honestly, in regards to length, I'd be lying if I said that wasn't a concern of mine, since I sorta go into unnecessary detail more often than not. Y'know, I was thinking about your comparison to Grace's article (I worked on that one as well!), and it's kinda interesting (well, to me, at least), 'cuz their careers are around the same length (give or take), but Grace has had more roles, while Ortega's probably received more media coverage. Just food for thought, I guess. Anyhow, I've been yammering for a while now, so I think it's a good time to stop. Pamzeis (talk) 09:00, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Ah ok. I have been really busy hence my editing activity has gone down. But anyway, I normally expect a 'filmography' section for actresses, but I don't see one in this article. I therefore had to go in the 'career' section only to then find out its in its own page. Is it possible to create a section titled 'filmography' (and 'awards an nominations') even if its just a link to List of roles and awards of Jenna Ortega? I may add more later.

• Her father, Edward Ortega,[4] is a former sheriff who works at a California district attorney's office of Mexican descent. Because of misplaced modifier placement, the phrase "of Mexican descent" attaches directly to "a California district attorney's office", which makes it sound as though the government office is of Mexican descent rather than the father.

• "That same year, Ortega appeared in the horror film Insidious: Chapter 2 as part of the supporting cast" - I would just say "Ortega played a supporting role in..."
  •  Done. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
• She considered quitting acting several times; she said that she "was too old for the young roles and too young for the older roles"[20] and that she thought she should withdraw from the career because she was starting high school and needed to "prove [her]self" to casting directors unfamiliar with her. The last part creates a subtle logical tension that makes it sound slightly contradictory. The phrasing makes it seem like she wanted to quit acting because she had to prove herself to new casting directors. Normally, needing to "prove oneself" is a reason to stay in a career and keep trying, whereas high school is a reason to step away. Combining them under the same "because" clause makes the logic feel slightly off.

• "She next featured in Trey Edward Shults's Hurry Up Tomorrow, co-starring with Abel Tesfaye and Barry Keoghan." Should it maybe say The Weeknd since the world knows him as that instead of his real name? Or was he credited as such in the film?
  • I haven't seen the film, but I think he is, according to the film's article and IMDb. I suppose it could be Abel "the Weeknd" Tesfaye, as is done in the intro on the film's article. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
• "Critics panned the film, but Ortega's performance was praised." Two things. The part "Ortega's performance was praised" is unsourced (and you can't take two individual reviews to make a collective claim like that). The praise is followed by On the other hand, IndieWire's Charles Bramesco called her performance "imitative and hollow". which means that her performance in fact was not only praised.
  • Removed second part of the sentence. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
• Ortega said her public image is inaccurate and that she can feel "incredibly misunderstood". Starting with her reaction to an "inaccurate" image creates a logical gap. The reader is forced to ask, "Inaccurate compared to what?" I would first establish the consensus image: How do the media, public, or critics generally describe her persona? And then introduce her statement that this perception is inaccurate or makes her feel misunderstood.
  • I've changed the ordering of the section a bit to try to quell this issue. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)
• I'm not a fan of the Acting credits and awards section, which currently only consists of the link to her filmography and awards page. I'd either write a small paragraph or two to list her most well-known works or remove the section and link the page in Career section. FrB.TG (talk) 14:04, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Moved the link. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

  Thank you so much for your comments, FrB.TG! I've responded above. Pamzeis (talk) 14:03, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Only a short comment for now, though shouldn't the article be covering the third season of Wednesday stating: "The third season was reportedly scheduled to begin filming on November 30, 2025, in Ireland,^[1] however some outlets reported that it would not begin filming until the first quarter of 2026.^[2] Filming began on February 23, 2026. On April 20, 2026, a first look was released, featuring Ortega, Dorobantu and Fred Armisen filming in Paris.^[3] During filming in Dublin at the end of June, Green suffered an injury and had to be taken to the hospital, where she recovered later that week.^[4] Filming wrapped on September 30.^[5]" Something to think about.
