Comment: This is a really funny and interesting movie with lots to tell. I wanted to include the fact that current MP Lori Idlout played an acting role in the film, but there's not many independent sources on the subject to allow for another ALT hook. Its quite fun that the QPQ subject is Antarctica, while this article is about Arctic peoples. I hope you enjoy this review, I had a lot of fun researching this one. Thank you so much to the reviewer in advance!
A beautiful article that I enjoyed reading, and an article about an important topic!
Zebedee Nungak is now a redlink - but hopefully not for long... who will get to it first ;)? See
[1] for a small change I made. The references are to reliable sources, the hooks are cited inline, I don't see any issues with copyvio or policy (Earwig only picks up quotes), long enough, new enough. QPQ done - and done about an important and related topic. I really like ALT0 and ALT1. I have small reservations with ALT2: the "how they tick" is obvious but doesn't seem to be stated, but more importantly I think this is an issue with
rule C6, since it's a fictional element that doesn't relate to the real world -- it's hard to say for sure though. In any case, I think ALT0 and ALT1 are stronger, with my preference being to ALT0 as the most interesting and giving the most respect to the film and its subject matter. I think this is good to go with ALT0 or ALT1!
