Hey! I am going to start this review :) The article looks good so far!

I have noticed a couple of issues though and I wanted to address them before doing a full review.

1.) This source [1] has a 52% plagiarism score on Earwig - can this be fixed?

I've added a second source [2] to the article. Aviator006 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That is great, however, the score for the source I gave is still a 52% similarity - [3] - which means that the wording of the information is more than double of the same as the source. This can be fixed by cutting/paraphrasing quotes and changing the wording of non-quotes. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:21, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I see what you mean. The offending paragragh is under Template:Blockquote. Aviator006 (talk) 01:57, 25 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So it does not continue violating plagiarism guidelines, I would recommend condensing "As a kid growing up in Detroit I longed to be a Superhero. Later on I started watching movies my grandpa (Steve McQueen) did, and I saw what an impact they made on the world. That's when I said, "Hey, I want to do that too." , and then the rest can be condensed in your would words and go into the "personal life" section.

2.) Several of the sections in the filmography and awards tables are unsourced.

3.) Is there no post 2020 information, or any sources saying that he has been inactive/retired?

Unfortunately, there are no new information since 2020, even for the inactivity/retirement, so when another user updated the article to "2020", I did not dispute this information. Aviator006 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

That's okay no worries :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 17:19, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

4.) Some of the sources are blogs - can you explain why they are reliable? (I am not saying that I think they aren't, I just wanted to see why they should be considered reliable).

5.) I would merge the "Personal life" and "Philanthropy" sections together.

I have made the "Philanthropy" section a sub-section of "Personal Life" section. Aviator006 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

6.) Can you change the "(b.)"s to "(born)" (or just remove them) in the early life section?

Updated as suggested. Aviator006 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Once these are addressed I will do a more thorough review :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 07:23, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello there, let me work on the above bit by bit, and I will update this page as I update the article. Thank you for your review in advance. Aviator006 (talk) 15:30, 24 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
