• This article generally well-cited, but it has three entirely uncited paragraphs. Since each paragraph is suppose to present a new topic, each should have at least one citation.--

• The article has a half dozen problem citations.--

• In addition, as has been discussed in prior reviews, the sources may be questionable.--

You seem to have responded to all other concerns. I will now do an independent review.--

? Uncertain of what you mean. Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

actress, singer, entrepreneur, author and humanitarian is what I would say.--

? Agree, but I think the way I've worded it seems fair. Popularity measures might make it seem too superfluous. Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Is she on any of those sex symbol hot 100 lists?--

? Are these notable enough? Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:33, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please add them to the article, if they exist. They belong in the public image section. Being a recognized sex symbol is an element of public image when relevant.--

Y Done; added much more info about this in public image. Stephenjamesx (talk) 00:06, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• I am not sure if more explanation is necessary or not, but why was she in a Columbus, OH company performing in San Antonio at that age if she was raised in Houston?--

N After doing research, the BalletMet Colombus (also known simply as BalletMet) is a touring company. I don't think explanation is needed. Stephenjamesx (talk) 16:56, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

State that they are a travelling company.--

Breakthrough film roles

• It seems the reviews in the first 2 paras are about the films and not her.

I disagree. I think it helps understand her public image and general perception as an actress. Stephenjamesx (talk) 17:54, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You need to augment that with criticism on her performances.--

Please see my recent edits to see if I'm going down the right lines. Do excuse me not formatting the cites. I will get to that soon. Stephenjamesx (talk) 00:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Whenever possible provide both the critic's name and the media in which he expressed his opinion along with the quote. Those two things allow the reader to attach his/her own weight to each comment. Also, link each notable critic on first use.--

Deleted this sentence. It's more to do with the album's promotion than Duff's career. It is included on the Metamorphosis page. Stephenjamesx (talk) 18:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• "number one on the US and Canadian charts" - Do these charts have links?--

Why don't we just link it on first use (with full name) and then spell it out subsequently.--

Compilation albums and Dignity

  • If you do that, you can state something like. "Although not successful on the Hot 100, she had three consecutive Hot Dance Club Songs and (x top 10s). Outside of the U.S. her early career singles were most popular in Canada where she had 3 Canadian Hot 100 top 10 hits and her later career singles were most popular in Italy, where she had 5 Federation of the Italian Music Industry top 10 hits.", sourced of course.--

Images

• It is not clear why File:Gossip309 2.jpg is necessary given all the free images. As a fair use image, it is of lower quality than almost all the free images and does not add so much given how much we can see of her without it. The role is not presented as that important a part of this article.
