... that the film A Life On Our Planet (2020) is David Attenborough's self-described "witness statement" for how human activity has affected the environment? Source: NYT

Newness requirement met with > 5x expansion of narrative on 10/7. Also meets length requirement and is well-written with appropriate use of citations. Earwig detects no copyvio/plagiarism issues. Hook is short enough, interesting, and accurate per New York Times and Mashable articles. QPQ is satisfied. Cbl62 (talk) 20:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I came by to promote this, but the source says the book is the witness statement. Yoninah (talk) 11:38, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Yoninah: what source are you reading? The source given above says Calling the film (streaming on Netflix) his “witness statement” for the environment. You can find the same phrase in other sources e.g. [1] or in the film itself. In any case, I do feel there's a distinction that was missing between the book and the film (both of which are based on the same material and both of which Attenborough describes as his "witness statement") so I've added "... that the film" to the start of the hook. — Bilorv (talk) 11:53, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Bilorv: you marked it in the lead with footnote 3. Yoninah (talk) 12:15, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Yoninah: I believe this issue is now fixed. — Bilorv (talk) 15:35, 23 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. Restoring tick per Cbl62's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:05, 24 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

A list of animals in the film is reading as trivia. Please find citations indicating the significance of including each animal. Or, consider writing prose to include those animals. BOVINEBOY2008 00:41, 11 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
