I'll take a look and make straightforward copyedits as I go (please revert if I accidentally change the meaning!) and jot notes below Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 19:54, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

• Lead is a bit slim

• What do you suggest I add? I think it's reasonably long for an article that has nearly 6k prose size

• Maybe it's just because I am looking at it on a widescreen - yeah not sure either. Need ot think about this Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:02, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

• Alright, I expanded this a tad bit by adding his frequent collaboration with his wife. Let me know what's up. Slightlymad 11:31, 2 December 2017 (UTC)

• Try to minimise (if possible) the number of paragraphs that start with "Gilroy..."

• Done

• Dan Gilroy recalled growing up "in a house where our father was a working writer and working at home. We got to see him write, and that demystified the process of becoming a writer." - rewrite and paraphrase without quoting.

• Done

• The Career section is a bit listy. It would greatly benefit from any other information or fleshing out of his involvement with each or any movie. Any extra sourceable material here would be great.

• I've added some blurb about his new film, though I couldn't really find coverage of his involvement on those films he had previously written as a screenwriter. Slightlymad 14:06, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

• Hmm, a pity - I keep thinking there must be something out there....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:02, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

as the previous cut had lay much emphasis on the characters - grammar? "lain"?

I suppose that's correct, changed. Slightlymad 14:59, 1 December 2017 (UTC)

• Hi Casliber, can I get a status update on the review? Did you want me to expand it further with regard to the remaining issues? Slightlymad 05:02, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, I meanto to have a look myself to see whether there was anything out there to add. Hang on....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:13, 5 December 2017 (UTC) bleh, you're right...nothing coming up. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
