David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet
- ... 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
Created by Bilorv (talk). Self-nominated at 19:15, 7 October 2020 (UTC).
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)
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)
- @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)
