  • Looks good: expanded 5x before the nomination, long enough, seems neutral and well cited, no copyvio or plagarism issues, QPQ fine. The first hook is fine, but ALT1 is more diverting, thanks to the Hitchcock reference. Relentlessly (talk) 17:33, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. ALT 1 is certainly fine, but how about combining them via
ALT2 ... that Alfred Hitchcock acted as an advisor on the official British documentary on concentration camps, which was left unfinished for nearly seventy years?
Or would that be too long? Coretheapple (talk) 20:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Well for one thing ALT2 implies this was the only official British documentary on the subject, which I doubt it was. EEng (talk) 20:38, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
ALT2 is OK, but not as good as ALT1, @Coretheapple:. Including the title is good in general, I think, and particularly as the title is an arresting contrast with Alfred Hitchcock. Relentlessly (talk) 20:45, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Well as I said, ALT1 is certainly fine. Coretheapple (talk) 21:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
