5x expanded by Jack Sebastian (talk). Self-nominated at 05:45, 14 September 2019 (UTC).[reply]

@Jack Sebastian: I've been scrolling past these hooks for a bit now and they've never really sat with me. Even though they come from reviews of the film, I almost think ALT0 needs quotation marks around "intriguing spin at toxic masculinity" to not sound promotional. ALT1, to be quite honest, is not very interesting at all. The article is a new enough and long enough redirect conversion. There are some places that might need inline citations; though it's kind of hard to cite the plot, the festivals section has no citations at all. I'd like to see some citations in those areas and maybe those quotation marks on the hook. You have fewer than five credits, so you are QPQ-exempt. I'm also going to float an ALT2: Raymie (t • c) 20:06, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2: ... that director/screenwriter Travis Stevens paused renovations on his home to film Girl on the Third Floor? Source: "...Stevens and his team paused the actual renovation of the house to spin their fictionalized version."(https://bostonhassle.com/buff-review-girl-on-the-third-floor-2019-dir-travis-stevens/ 3])

I've added quotation marks to the comment in ALT0 about toxic masculinity, but ALT2 is pretty nifty, too; I've added how Stevens was also the screenwriter, further emphasizing that the story was about the house he was renovating in the first place.

As well, your suggestions about the direction further expansion should take are good ones. I can't really expand on the plot until the film releases (as per COPYVIO), but I will definitely keep working on this, as more reviews come into play after its general release. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 20:43, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Another reviewer will be needed for the new ALT2 (and I don't mind the addition to it), but I do think the citations for the festivals it appeared at are something that can and should be done now. Raymie (t • c) 21:09, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Raymie, Source and link now added to ALT2. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 01:38, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Jack Sebastian: I can't review ALT2 since I proposed the hook. Someone else has to do that. Raymie (t • c) 17:33, 23 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2 hook cited and verified to source, and is interesting. Citations are required for the Release section (it's OK if you use primary sources such as the websites of the festivals), and I would remove the Box office section header before there is anything substantial that can be written in that section. feminist (talk) 03:09, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please add references to the Release section in order for this DYK nomination to be approved. feminist (talk) 12:23, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:51, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Approved. feminist (talk) 02:05, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Per suggestion at WT: DYK from @Valereee:, and pending concurrence from nominator @Jack Sebastian:, is it possible to request a Special Date appearance, for this nomination to coincide with the film's USA release date of October 25, 2019? — Maile (talk) 16:38, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm cool with that, so long as it doesn't stale-date my DYK nom, - Jack Sebastian (talk) 16:52, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not to worry. Once you submit a nomination, the date of submission does not change. The date of your submission is the one used to determine the article's eligibility. So, you'll be OK on this one. I also added a bolded note at the top, so anyone approving and promoting this can see it. — Maile (talk) 17:00, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
