I will be reviewing the article. Z. Patterson (talk) 01:08, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: The article appears to be well-written, stable, verifiable, and neutral. I have points to address.

• Why does the individual not have a photograph in the infobox? Can you not find an image that is in the public domain or has a Creative Commons licence?
• The sentence, "Ellis is from Liverpool but also lived in London" seems awkward. You could correct it to "Ellis is from Liverpool, but she also lived in London."
• Why is "killed-off" hyphenated? I think you should remove the hyphen.
• The sentence, "Ellis was sad to leave the role but was glad the door was closed so that she could look forward with her career", seems to be WP:PUFFERY. I suggest rewriting it to comply with WP:NPOV.
• "Medieval" does not need to be capitalised.
• I suggest combining the sentences "She is an only child. Ellis is from Liverpool" into "She is an only child from Liverpool." Make sure you keep the citations.
• "Special needs" does not need to be capitalised.
• Citations should be placed in numerical order. For example, I see the sentence, "Ellis then appeared in two episodes, which were broadcast on 23 and 25 August 2011, of the BBC soap opera EastEnders as Debs, and that same year she appeared in an episode of Doctors" has three citations in the article, but they are out of numerical order.
• I would replace statements such as "good friend" with "close friend".
• Not every sentence that was paraphrased needs to have a citation. If there are consecutive sentences that cite the same source, unless a sentence directly quotes that source, you need a citation only at the end of the part of the paragraph that cites that source. If a sentence directly quotes a source, you need to cite it in the same sentence.
• Birmingham Mailis a tabloid newspaper. Can you find a replacement source?

If you make these changes, or otherwise address these points, I plan to make this a good article. As you said you would endeavour to honour your plan to review other articles, I have one outstanding GAN as of this post.

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: I placed the review on hold. I will give you seven days to address the points I addressed. Z. Patterson (talk) 03:48, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@Z. Patterson: Thank you so much for your lovely review - you are awesome! I have done all of the points above - the only one I have not done is removing citations as I prefer to keep citations at the end of sentences to make verifying the info easier, especially in a BLP as it is so important. Everything else I have done (with the Birmingham Mail, I just removed it). Funny you ask about the picture - I could not find a picture when I originally made the article, but a few weeks ago I discovered a picture my friend had taken with the actress and she allowed me to post it on Wikipedia, but I completely forgot until now! I have added it :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 18:24, 14 July 2025 (UTC)

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: You are welcome. I see you have added the picture. I will pass this as a good article. I commend your work. Z. Patterson (talk) 22:40, 14 July 2025 (UTC)
