( Back to T:TDYK )

( Article history links:

~~... that Elizabeth Nunez stole "In-Between" for her novel Anna In-Between (2009) from M. G. Vassanji's novel The In-Between World of Vikram Lall (2003)?~~ (And so I wrote a novel about a character, Anna, who is straddling those two identities, and I just stole Vassanji's line, "in-between.")
- ALT1:... that "In-Between" of Anna In-Between comes from "In-Between" of The In-Between World of Vikram Lall? (And so I wrote a novel about a character, Anna, who is straddling those two identities, and I just stole Vassanji's line, "in-between.")

Both the articles are long enough, ageing qualifies (the first one a new one-March 20, and the other, expanded), no literary issues, Earwig check returned confidence (similarities limited to quotes and names), adequate citations, hook sources cited inline in the articles, QPQ done. Suggest ALT-1 for promotion as stole in the original hook is more a figurative usage than a literal one. jojo@nthony (talk) 06:29, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

@Vivvt and Tachs:I was going to promote this but considered that the ALT1 hook needs to be rephrased because it is too repetitive and uses the word "in-between" four times. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

@Vivvt and Cwmhiraeth: suggest the below, Vivvt to confirm (or propose alternatives):

ALT2:... that Elizabeth Nunez admitted that the name of her novel, Anna In-Between, was inspired by The In-Between World of Vikram Lall of M. G. Vassanji? jojo@nthony (talk) 06:20, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
- @Tachs and Cwmhiraeth: Or, ALT3:... that the title for Elizabeth Nunez's novel, Anna In-Between (2009), was inspired by M. G. Vassanji's novel The In-Between World of Vikram Lall (2003)? - Vivvt (Talk) 07:33, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Yes, title is more precise. jojo@nthony (talk) 08:05, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Restoring tick as per Tach's review, now that the ALT3 hook wording is accepted. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:45, 4 April 2017 (UTC)
