... that while reviewers generally praised The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs, one reviewer complained that the author was "so nice about his colleagues that it makes you long for a juicy academic vendetta"?

Reviewed: Fewer than 5 past noms, no QPQ required
Comment: I don't have a direct source for generally positive reviews, but I haven't been able to find a single review that didn't primarily praise the book. If this is an issue I can reword the hook to exclude that.

@Rusalkii: Article is long enough, well sourced, and is free from copyvio (apart from direct quotes from reviews, obviously). Article is new enough: published into mainspace the same day DYK was submitted. The hook is interesting, but I couldn't access the hook source directly due to a paywall. It doesn't affect the DYK nom but there are a lot of sources like that in the article; I would recommend adding accessible archived URLs for the sources like that if you get a chance. One pedantic thing before approval: since the original quote says that he "is" so nice, the word "was" in the hook should be moved outside of the quotation marks since it's not a direct quote. Other than that there's nothing preventing this from approval on good faith. Kimikel (talk) 21:04, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Quote fixed. I'll attempt to find an un-paywalled source later. Rusalkii (talk) 22:10, 28 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
