Hi Danilo, I plan to start reviewing this over the next few days. JuniperChill (talk) 00:24, 9 October 2025 (UTC)

Due to the fact that I'm reviewing multiple GANs (thanks to the backlog drive) plus I'm busy IRL, this has taken me a while to review. In the meantime, I've reviewed criteria 3-6. I'll get to the other criteria later on, likely within a few days. JuniperChill (talk) 00:24, 13 October 2025 (UTC)

Reviewed. I'm saving my work as my review is not yet finished. I see that your taking a break from editing so I'm giving you at least a month to implement these changes. Feel free to ping me when you started editing this page. JuniperChill (talk) 11:32, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

Review finished. I put the GAN on hold seeing as I haven't identified a lot of issues, and some are optional. As said earlier, I'm giving you at least a month. JuniperChill (talk) 14:05, 21 October 2025 (UTC)

@JuniperChill: Hey, thank you so much for the lovely review! I think I have fixed everything you have mentioned. I found an interview and tried to expand her early life information too. Unfortunately I still have not found a reliable source with her exact date of birth :( DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:26, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

That's alright if you couldn't find her exact DOB since reliable sources are required for that. Only IMDB shows it but many should know that its unreliable. I also still don't see an image of her. Since Wikipedia/Commons requires images to be free to use (ie copyright free), there's no way I would fail you for that. But anyway, I'll go ahead and pass this article!

Prose review

Lead

Lead is quite short, but I've taken a look at your other GA articles and its alright. No problems identified

Life and career

• Freeman attended The Queen's School, Chester. should be reworded to Freeman attended The Queen's School in Chester
• It would be great to expand the first paragraph but if no reliable sources take about her life between 2004 and 2015, I'm alright with leaving it at that.
• Freeman commented that she felt lucky to have had received acting roles at a young age I feel like this phrase is awkward, especially the "have had". This could be reworded to Freeman commented that she felt lucky receiving acting roles at a young age
• Freeman enjoyed working with Langley and Brocklebank and has said that she likes to do a mixture of funny and emotional scenes, thought she believed that her "speciality" was crying. This sentence feels quite hard for me seeing as its 30 words long and the recommended maximum is 25. Also, is "thought" meant to be "though"?
• Freeman portrayed a teenage version of Lin in the sitcom Alma's Not Normal in the sixth episode of its first season, which aired in October 2021. reword to In October 2021, Freeman portrayed a teenage version of Lin in the sixth episode of its first season on sitcom Alma's Not Normal.

Personal life

No issues

Verifiability and copyright (including spot checks)

• It would be great to include the exact DOB. If you couldn't find a reliable source mentioning that, then its fine.
• Earwig returns a 37,9% violation unlikely, though this is mostly down to the large 53-word quote beginning with "I'd like to say thank you to my second family". Perhaps the second part of the quote may have to be rewritten into your own words.
• Spotchecked sources 3, 9, 16, 24 and 35. Found no issues.
• Optional: the sources should link to the original source first before the archive, as I expected it to not open the archived link first

Other criteria (3-6)

• 3 -  Broad in its coverage - article covers much of her career since 2015
• 4 -  Neutral - article conforms to the neutral point of view
• 5 -  Stable - although the article had two reverts, none of them resulted in an edit war and there hasn't been a content dispute.
• 6 - Illustrated by media - there aren't any images used in the article. It would be great to include them but if no images of the subject exist, then its fine.
