The Haunting (1963 film)

  • ... that to enhance their performances, a "prescored" soundtrack of violent noises and voices was played during the filming of the 1963 film The Haunting to give the actors something to react to?

Created/expanded by Tim1965 (talk). Self nom at 04:11, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Once this has passed DYK checks, perhaps it can be listed for the Halloween DYKs. - Tim1965 (talk) 04:14, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
    • Symbol delete vote.svg Bolded article name in hook. Article has not been created or expanded 5x within the past 10 days (2596 days) (was 3658[1], needs to be 18290[2]) Popular culture section is not sourced. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 06:38, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Correction(?): it's currently[3] 16254 prose size per prosesizebytes.js --Lexein (talk) 07:12, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • Correction: I meant the article needs to be at a character count of 18290 (fixed comment). -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 07:18, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
At [4], 2036 chars to go. The plot section is only 915 chars: per MOS:FILM it could be 400-700 words (2000 - 3500 chars). Also, resolve those {{citation needed}}s. resolved sufficiently. --Lexein (talk) 07:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

  • Now meets 5x expansion size, at 18708. --Lexein (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • My understanding is that neither the plot section nor the cast list should be counted when estimating five-fold expansion. I'm unclear as to where in DYK rules it says that there can't still be problems (even citation problems) with this article. The DYK fact-hook is properly cited. - Tim1965 (talk) 13:22, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
There's no "plot exception" that I could find in WP:Did you know or WP:Did you know/Supplementary guidelines; this was discussed in WT:Did_you_know#Plots. Plots don't need to be cited, per MOS:FILM. The ProseSize tools automatically exclude all lists and include all non-HTML and non-wikitext prose.
There was no need to trim the cast list by my lights, but, as you wish.
I did not insist on plot expansion, just noted that it was a ripe opportunity for expansion. I greatly appreciate the expansion work on the rest of the article first.
In the rules, there is: "Articles with good references and citations are preferred." Also, it's in the reviewing guidelines whenever this Talk is opened for editing: "cites sources with inline citations". Sorta seems sporting to take a stab at resolving citations needed, or removing the unsourced claims. There's only one now, so not a show stopper. The reviewer may disagree.
Why split discussion, forcing two reply locations? Geez. --Lexein (talk) 16:02, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
  • There are no more missing citations, and the character count is 20058. (I used MS Word for that.) It's over the 18290 needed. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:24, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, even though it met 5X expansion (link) yesterday. Count now is really 20011, per ProseSize, suggested in DYK instructions. --Lexein (talk) 15:09, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
