Ktin (talk)Thank you so much for the very helpful comments. I have implemented the suggestions to the text. Very happy with the suggestions to round the numbers quoted in the hook.Chaiten1 (talk)


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article meets eligibility criteria for newness. Is long enough and no issues with neutrality / tone. Article is well-sourced to seemingly reputable journals. No issues there. I am assuming good faith on some of those, particularly ones that I can not access. Hooks are interesting and are well sourced. Was able to access the text. Have a few notes that I have included re: the hooks. Please see. QPQ done. Earwig shows no issues. Nice and clean article. Ktin (talk) 21:22, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Notes Below:

Hooks:

  • Both hooks are interesting. Is there merit in rounding the numbers e.g. covered ~17,500 miles (~28,000 kms)?
  • Can we add South Africa in the hook so folks who do not know the region know that we are talking about a province in SA?

Lede:

  • Can we clarify / qualify what BIC was? i.e. in a phrase or two saying what BIC was and where it is.
  • If the above is done you can separate the Royal society part into the next sentence

Body:

  • In writing biographies, I have seen the sections -- Early life, Career (or alternately Works), and Personal life, be used. If you'd prefer the content can be reorganized that way
  • Early life
    • Please can we add the date of birth in this section as well.
    • Who was Philip Lake? e.g. British geologist
    • Similarly, who was W.J. Lewis? e.g. South African explorer
  • Career
    • I like the way you had conversions in the hook between miles and kms, consider the same in the article too. The numbers can remain precise here or rounded up / down based on your preference
    • Awards can be a sub-section under career or can be the last paragraph within career section
  • Selected publications
    • Can you add ISBN numbers to the books, if available
  • Personal life
    • Please add a line or two about death. The details are available in the first link

Overall, a very nice and neat article. Well done. Please address as you deem fit. Ktin (talk) 21:33, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaiten1: Please address the above. Z1720 (talk) 23:24, 4 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Chaiten1: has not addressed the concerns above, so I am marking this for closure as unsuccessful. If Chaiten1 does not edit this soon, it should be formally rejected. Z1720 (talk) 02:33, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have implemented all of these suggestions, as far as possible. I have rearranged the content of the article, and extended or clarified sections. Books or monographs from the 1920s - 1930s don't have ISBN numbers, but the citations are complete.Chaiten1 (talk)
