- Comment: I'm sorry, I'm a day late - again. Other hooks to speak about a miracle welcome.
5x expanded by Gerda Arendt (talk). Self-nominated at 22:43, 7 August 2020 (UTC).
I am letting this be a day late. The article has been expanded enough and is neutral with no copyright violations. The hook is directly cited and the image is free use. I don't see where the information "In Germany the film was released in theatres in September 2004, and by February 2005 it sold 400,000 tickets." is coming from. From my past experience with film articles, I know that IMDb can't be used to reference awards. I do see that the fourth reference is reliable and has award information that can be used in IMDb's place. SL93 (talk) 22:11, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you! Sorry, when translating I forgot. I dropped the number of tickets (who cares), and used a better source for the awards. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:25, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
I saw that 2004 was directly cited, but not "September" so I took care of that. This is ready to go. SL93 (talk) 22:38, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi, I came by to promote this, but the hook seems to have too many numbers in it. I also wonder if the source is really saying that they came from 25 different countries, but from 25 national backgrounds, which means their parents were born elsewhere. What do you think about this alt:- ALT1: ... that Rhythm Is It! is a 2004 documentary film about 250 public school students trained by Royston Maldoom (pictured) to dance Stravinsky's Le Sacre du printemps with the Berlin Philharmonic?

- Well, one of three protagonists is there all by herself, a refugee from Nigeria who recently arrived. Dance is one of the things people with different languages can do together, and social integration a key aspect of the project. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:09, 23 August 2020 (UTC)
- Correcting spelling and orthography for Sacre in both hooks (it has been corrected in the article per the main The Rite of Spring article). BlueMoonset (talk) 23:23, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

- Thank you, both! If it's too many numbers, we could drop the year. I am not sure about nationalities, though, many of those kids will have a German passports. Better word(s) welcome if that's a problem. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:26, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
