 * Symbol confirmed.svg GA, in time, long enough, sourced (with acceptable exception of the plot section), inline hook citation for ALT0 checks out, no apparent copyvios, QPQ done. ALT2 hook fact lacks an inline citation, and one could quibble with ALT1 (Finnish film, or film in Finnish?). Regardless, I think ALT0 is more interesting. --Usernameunique (talk) 22:54, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thx! I moved ALT2's best ref closer to the claim and also switched it up there on the hook. Changed ALT1 to "movie ever made in Finland", but yeah, I personally like ALT0 the best in any case too. Manelolo (talk) 23:26, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks . My quibble with ALT1 is actually that the article says the film is the most expensive made in Finnish (language), while the hook says the film is the most expensive made in Finland (country). --Usernameunique (talk) 23:34, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * ooooooooooh! Never even noticed that, one becomes blind, thx! Apparently I wrote it paraphrasing only one source (that stuck to the language part). Lede now says Finnish and further down in Development the article clarifies that its the most expensive in both language and country, as it is in reality. Manelolo (talk) 23:46, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All hooks now check out, though preference is still for ALT0. --Usernameunique (talk) 00:07, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
