• Comment – The article is presently tagged (by another user, not me) as needing additional citations (link). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:59, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
• Ah, that was an old 2014 tag I removed just now ([1]). --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:02, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

• 5x expansion verified. New enough, long enough, well referenced, neutrally written, no close paraphrasing seen. However, the hook fact of "the first attempt to portray The Witcher universe in film" did not appear in the source given, so I removed the source. Otherwise, foreign-language refs for the ALT0 hook facts are AGF and cited inline. Image in article is fair use. QPQ done. Yoninah (talk) 22:11, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

• The claim that it was the first Witcher film can be verified by this source 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 00:58, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• I think the other ref was fine for that too, but this one is even more clear. Anyway, it's a bit of a common knowledge, at least, for Polish Witcher fans :> --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 02:42, 26 October 2018 (UTC)

• Thank you. Hook refs verified and cited inline. I prefer the first hook for its more vivid description. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 11:35, 26 October 2018 (UTC)
