  • ALT1: ... that as Peggy Cummins was only thirteen when she made her film debut in Dr. O'Dowd, she was restricted to five hours of filming per day?
  • Plot section is entirely unsourced. Having read articles on film, I notice that the plot sections are almost always completely unsourced, though I'm not sure if there's some policy that allows this or not. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:24, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
"Better to be safe than sorry" - plot section reference added. Moswento talky 15:31, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Indeed. With that, I can finish the review, and I find a 5x expanded and well sourced article. I suggest ALT2 to whoever promotes... – Muboshgu (talk) 15:41, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
Fine with me! Moswento talky 15:42, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Noting that ALT2 hook is sourced and approved, since someone independent needs to approve it. (I also like it better than the other two, which are eligible for use.) On a separate note, while film, television episodes, novels, and suchlike usually do not require sourcing, since the piece of fiction is its own source, in this case, when there is no extant film that can be pointed to, a source is needed.

  • So in other words, most film articles don't need the plots to be sourced, but this one, as a lost film, did need it. Good to know. – Muboshgu (talk) 22:25, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
  • True about most films or books or episodes. Others may disagree me about the latter, but that was my reaction when I saw the circumstances of this article: as the film itself doesn't exist as a source, then something else is needed. BlueMoonset (talk) 23:53, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
