 * Symbol question.svg Interesting topic, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. I confess to not understand the ALT, - "hours .... is"? And do you want to promote that library? - The original hook is a bit too tame, compared to "orgasmic" in the article. Something in between perhaps? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:49, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Gerda Arendt 47 hours of footage were originally recorded, which were later reduced to a manageable amount for a film. It's not a library. It's an important museum. SL93 (talk) 12:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry about library vs. museum, - this hook should promote the film, not any place, - unless you want it. I - English not first language - had to look up what footage means, and think that other films have much more., so what's "hooky" about it? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:10, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure how, but you removed my ALT2.
 * ALT2: ... that the film Poetry in Motion has been described in a review as orgasmic for students of contemporary poetry? SL93 (talk) 14:11, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * It was not intentional, I had not even seen it, sorry once more.
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, that's nice! I added "in a review", for safety. - Please change article, "hours ... are held" or "footage ... is held", no? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I'm lost. What's wrong with the sentence? SL93 (talk) 14:24, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
 * I think you can't say "hours is held", but need "hours are held". You can say "footage is held", no?
 * I keep on getting is and are mixed up. I will change it now. SL93 (talk) 14:32, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
