 * Symbol question.svg Hi, I came by to promote this, but I don't understand what's hooky about it. On-location filming is done all over the world. This is a GA; could you offer another hook? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 00:25, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Done. Cognissonance (talk) 04:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * thank you, that's a nice hook. But the source states she was his girlfriend at the time. If she is well-known, perhaps you could just say "when writer and director Christopher Nolan sailed with Emma Thomas..."? Yoninah (talk) 12:09, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You're right, corrected the mistake. Cognissonance (talk) 12:43, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great, thanks. ALT1 hook ref verified and cited inline. Rest of review per The C of E. ALT1 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 12:48, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
