The Harry Potter films are mentioned as "His greatest commercial successes", but I see no sourcing for this either, and there's problems with this opinion as well, since what does "greatest commercial successes" mean, really? It's unclear and could be reworded. The lead should not contain statements
273:
In the first sentence of the lead, the claim is made that Columbus is "best known for his family and sentimental films", the "family" part of it is not in the body at all, and the "sentimental" part of it is sourced to two articles with the briefest of mentions of "sentimentality". It seems to me
639:
The picture of Columbus at Comic Con 2012 could be cropped to just include the two on the right. #1, you'd actually be able to see him , and #2 the emcee isn't relevant, but Ned Vizzini is, and could be briefly ID'd in the caption as his co-author on the House of Secrets book series.
279:
The lead mentions 15 of the 21 total films he's been involved in - see "Editors should avoid lengthy paragraphs and overly specific descriptions – greater detail is saved for the body of the article" in
643:
I've cropped the image on this article using some CSS (which is easier, hope that's okay). Vizzini as co-author is mentioned in the body already, but happy to add it to the caption if it's clearer.
47: 391:, except for plot summaries and that which summarizes cited content elsewhere in the article, must be cited no later than the end of the paragraph (or line if the content is not in prose). 388: 126: 222: 177: 260: 80: 122: 70: 107: 52: 603: 99: 264: 256: 248: 295:
Thank you for reviewing this article. I agree there were some issues with wording. I've tightened the lead up a bit, so hopefully it's better now!
270:
In the lead, the last sentence of the 2nd paragraph needs work, as it's a bit confusing and needs a grammar tweak; the two problems are related.
633: 167: 252: 519: 173: 75: 437: 410: 156: 595: 115: 17: 607: 380: 274:
that that is too trivial to be mentioned in the first sentence of a lead, given the weak sourcing. It's fine in the body.
384: 244: 92: 599: 496: 416:
The aforementioned lead contains what could be construed as grey-area original research; already explained above.
334: 546: 474: 441: 703: 663: 315: 150: 572: 568: 228:
No problems with conciseness or spelling. Some minor issues in the lead with grammar and clarity.

Update: with minor fixes implemented, I believe all criteria are met.
695:
It's very close; a few fixes to the minor problems should do it.
394:
All information is referenced to verifiable, reliable sources.

Update: lead was adjusted and contains no original research.
