General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: The main hook is approved, and the check reflects this – the sources seem to indicate it may have been for political reasons (which would make the hook a bit more interesting IMO, but it's fine as is). I'd propose removing the word "the" for ALT1 before "project markets" to make it grammatically correct for ALT1 – make that change, and it's approved as well. Great work on this!

Hi Nomader, thanks for reviewing and providing feedback! I have removed the extra "the" in the alternate hook. I had considered mentioning the political reasons for To quitting filming in the initial draft of the article, but it seemed a bit digressive from the focus on the film's production, so I did not include it. I am open to adding it in both the article and hook if you think that would make things better. —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 12:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

@Prince of Erebor: I think that a brief mention in a sentence wouldn't be too off-topic and the context is important – but I think it could just be a brief mention instead of a full paragraph or something. That said, the current hooks are both just fine as is as well and my original approval is still good to go here. Nomader (talk) 02:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Then I will retain the current hook. Thanks for taking the time to review the article! —Prince of Erebor（The Book of Mazarbul） 13:09, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
