Hey, I will be reviewing this. I am looking forward to it :) Expect comments by Monday evening (hopefully earlier) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:45, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Sorry for my delay, my medication has been making me very tired and I spent most of the day sleeping! This is a really good article and you have done so well in improving it, you should be so proud! It is very well written and sourced. I can't see any major issues earwig does not show any copyright violations. I have done a few minor edits, and here are my suggestions below - they aren't huge issues, just some suggestions for clarity and expansion:

Fictional character biography: 1.) "told to avoid her by outcasts" - I think changing outcasts to "social outcasts" or something similar may be a good idea

• Done

2.) "Regina is seen to be the subject of obsession by her classmates" - could you please briefly expand upon this (e.g. are they obsessed with her because they idiolise her etc?)

• Done (idolization)

3.) The main issue that stood out is that it is not clear if the fictional character biography extends to the 2004 film or all of the Mean Girls films/musicals - I know it is the plot of the 2004 film as I have seen it, but it may not be clear to others.

• Done (added clarity it is the 2004 film)

Creation and characterization:

1.) I think this section should go first as the casting and characterisation of a character usually happen before they appear (as the casting and writing takes place before filming and release)

• Done

2.) "Director Mark Waters was impressed with Rachel McAdams' audition for the role of Regina, noting that she seemed to intimidate co-star Lindsay Lohan and "dominated" the room." - This needs a ref at the end of the sentence as it has a quote

• Done

Reception:

1.) Maria Robinson-Cseke - Can you specify who she is? Is she a writer, a sociologist, a critic etc?

• Done

2.) "Cady's conflict was revealed" - What does "revealed" mean in this regard? Can you maybe please change the wording?

• Done (reworded)

3.) "At Regina's Halloween party, Cady dresses as a monster, making guests physically recoil and keep distance, symbolizing her transformation into Regina" - Could you please clarify whether this is a critic's opinion or if this is more widely supported by many people?

• Critics' opinion - should I remove this?

4.) Can you please clarify who Michaela Meyer, Linda Waldron and Danielle Stern are?

• see above

5.) Some more opinions in the reception section/expansion would benefit the article, particularly from critics who like/dislike the character.

Other:

1.) The lead is quite short - it is not a criticism, but could it be expanded?

• I have done it, let me know if I should expand more

2.) "particularly in comparison with Donald Trump" in the lead makes it seem like Regina has been compared to Trump, so I think this could use some

• Yes, reworded

3.) This article could do with some free pictures to fulfill GA criteria - maybe a picture of McAdams or one of the other portrayers, or one of the clips in the "Political influence" section?

• Done

4.) The portrayal section should be above reception - I think it should be underneath "Creation and characterization"

• Done

5.) I think the article could benefit with some expansion regarding the differences of Regina's character across the different movies/plays etc

• Done

6.) The infobox image is very big - could this be made smaller or trimmed perhaps?

• Done

Once these have been addressed I will do a source spotcheck and hopefully pass the article! Please let me know if you need any help at all or have any questions :D DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 04:09, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

• @DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Thanks for the review! I have hopefully addressed your comments. :) jolielover♥talk 17:55, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

Hey, thank you so much for your changes and additions – they look great! From reading the changes I have the following suggestions: 1.) Could you note that Seyfield was chosen for another role instead?

2.) Can you clarify why McAdams listened to Courtney Love and watched Baldwin's character?

3.) Perhaps a picture of Renee Rapp could be in the reception section?

4.) Are there any sources/information that explain how the plays are different from the movie(s)?

5.) I would suggest changing the last bit in the lead to "particularly in reference to American politician Donald Trump" for clarity.

6.) Can you say who from the Los Angeles Times said the thing in the reception?

7.) For the "Works cited" section, can you please link the websites? I have done some for you :)

When I get home I will do a source check and hopefully pass the article. Well done!

Spotchecked sources #1, #22, #25, #39 and #48. When the points above are addressed/fixed I will pass this article :D DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 05:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Done all of this, except 4 - I couldn't really find many reliable sources going in depth into the differences in George in the OG film and the play. For what it's worth, the 2024 film is based on the play, so has the same plot. jolielover♥talk 08:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

This is amazing! I am passing it :) please nominate it for DYK if you'd like! DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 12:26, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
