The first substantial edit for 'Léon: The Professional' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Léon:_The_Professional) was 20 April 2005. If I had created this article first I would have added a picture of the film poster, added citations and changed the layout. I would have changed the layout by separating (and filling in) the article into sections e.g. plot/synopsis, cast, production, soundtrack reception, references and external links. If I was the second reader I would have edited the article to include an infobox.
I added the message box e.g. 'This biography of a living person needs additional citations for verification. Please help by adding reliable sources. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous or harmful.'

editActivity 1- Ideas for your article
This page uses the acronym AD for Alzheimer's disease. I can try and replicate the use of the acronym AD in my article.
Epidemiology will be a section in my article. This page is a featured article (one of the best articles). This page has a section on epidemiology that is done well. I can try and replicate the use of graphs in the epidemiology section. Also, I can try and replicate the way the statistics are quoted, referenced or paraphrased.
