: [[File:Symbol confirmed.svg|16px]] Interesting historic film on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The hook idea is fine, so approve it, but think either the weight or the name could go, to get to the key fact sooner. I could also imagine to give two years (first appearance 1909, and film 1945) instead of the number of films. Is it intentional that for the longest time into the hook, we don't even know that it IS a film? --[[User:Gerda Arendt|Gerda Arendt]] ([[User talk:Gerda Arendt|talk]]) 17:53, 22 September 2020 (UTC) | : [[File:Symbol confirmed.svg|16px]] Interesting historic film on good sources, no copyvio obvious.

| − | ::*{{ping|Gerda Arendt}} thanks for the review. The fact that he's named Ben is a cute fact because we're talking about a movie "actor". It's also okay to say it's a film at the end; otherwise I'd be using the word {{tq|film}} twice. I don't mind eliminating the weight but I think it's also important to show it was a huge reptile. I'm trying to come up with a different hook about this but without success.

- Template:Ping thanks for the review. The fact that he's named Ben is a cute fact because we're talking about a movie "actor". It's also okay to say it's a film at the end; otherwise I'd be using the word Template:Tq twice. I don't mind eliminating the weight but I think it's also important to show it was a huge reptile. I'm trying to come up with a different hook about this but without success. Yoninah (talk) 18:51, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
