(

• ... that the filmography of silent film director J. Gordon Edwards includes the first film produced by what would become the Fox Film Corporation?

• ALT1:... that the filmography of director J. Gordon Edwards includes over fifty silent films?
• ALT2:... that the filmography of director J. Gordon Edwards includes over twenty appearances of silent film vamp Theda Bara?
• Reviewed: Dearcmhara
• Comment: Writing hooks for lists of films most readers haven't ever heard of is hard.

Moved to mainspace by Squeamish Ossifrage (talk). Self nominated at 01:38, 8 January 2015 (UTC).

• Squeamish Ossifrage, QPQ pending. 8 Jan mainspace. 2631 B (a long list not counted in prose). Very well-referenced. No copyvio. ALT2: "vamp" not in article. Original: "the first film produced by what would become the Fox Film Corporation", not explicitly mentioned in article. Possibly denoting "First film produced by the Box Office Attractions Company"; however technically, merger of two companies formed Fox. It was not a mere renaming. However, Fox did 'replace' Box. ALT1 is good to go. AGF on refs. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 12:26, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

• Redtigerxyz: QPQ completed for Dearcmhara. Amended text to provide direct support for ALT2. The 20th Century Fox article's treatment of this period of Fox history is a mess, and I'm simply withdrawing the original hook rather than trying to satisfy the "avoid contradictions" DYK requirement at this time (although this hook was correct).

• Both alt are good to go. AGF on offline references, copyvio. Redtigerxyz ^Talk 15:38, 13 January 2015 (UTC)
