How to Start a Revolution edit
- ... that How to Start a Revolution, a 2011 BAFTA award-winning film that profiled the "Machiavelli of Nonviolence", was described by the New York Times as a "noble documentary"?

Date and length verified. Article is neutral, and the significance and interest of the topic is demonstrated. Length of the hook is ok, and it's sourced. The synopsis has no sources, but I imagine that doesn't really matter since the film itself is the source. One small issue: there's a "citation needed" for one sentence: "The film has received strong international interest being translated and screened on television channels in Spain, Norway, Belgium, Japan, Brazil and across the Middle East by Al Jazeera Arabic." That does indeed need to be sourced. Once that's done, it'll be good to go. (I'll let the creator & nominator know.) Aridd (talk) 20:06, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
- Done: I've edited the sentence, modifying its claims a bit so that it could be properly sourced. If Newsprod1 resurfaces, perhaps he would know a way to source the original statement. But since he's not been active for about 10 days, I don't think we can count on him. Instead, let's proceed from the modified version I've now created. Perhaps it's now ready to go?
