The Unknown Soldier (2017 film) edit
- ... that the 2017 Finnish film The Unknown Soldier set the Guinness World Record for most high explosives detonated in a single film take? Source: "Aku Louhimies’ historical epic, which cost around €7m, has also smashed the Guinness World Record for the most high-explosives detonated in a film take." ([1])
- ALT1:... that the 2017 film The Unknown Soldier is the most expensive movie ever made in Finland? Source: "Aku Louhimies’ historical epic, the most expensive Finnish film ever made at an estimated €7m [...]" ([2])
- ALT2:... that the 2017 film The Unknown Soldier was released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of Finnish independence? Source: "The premiere is scheduled for December 2017, when Finland celebrates the 100th anniversary of the country’s independence." ([3])
Improved to Good Article status by Manelolo (talk). Self-nominated at 07:19, 7 February 2018 (UTC).
GA, in time, long enough, sourced (with acceptable exception of the plot section), inline hook citation for ALT0 checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. ALT2 hook fact lacks an inline citation, and one could quibble with ALT1 (Finnish film, or film in Finnish?). Regardless, I think ALT0 is more interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: Thx! I moved ALT2's best ref closer to the claim and also switched it up there on the hook. Changed ALT1 to "movie ever made in Finland", but yeah, I personally like ALT0 the best in any case too. Manelolo (talk) 23:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks Manelolo. My quibble with ALT1 is actually that the article says the film is the most expensive made in Finnish (language), while the hook says the film is the most expensive made in Finland (country). --Usernameunique (talk) 23:34, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Usernameunique: ooooooooooh! Never even noticed that, one becomes blind, thx! Apparently I wrote it paraphrasing only one source (that stuck to the language part). Lede now says Finnish and further down in Development the article clarifies that its the most expensive in both language and country, as it is in reality. Manelolo (talk) 23:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
- All hooks now check out, though preference is still for ALT0. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
