  • Reviewed: I still have to review another nomination and will post this here once it's done.

Created by Kbeer1 (talk). Self nominated at 19:42, 15 October 2014 (UTC).

  • I was just about to review this nomination when I saw that the QPQ review had not yet been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:07, 1 November 2014 (UTC)
  • This is Kbeer1's first DYK nom so QPQ isn't required. A pretty good article. but word count is only 718 words of prose, less than half the 1,500 word requirement. Sorry, Characters, not words (grumble). Continuing to check. DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 17:59, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
  • The length requirement is 1500B not 1500 words and this article is amply long enough as well as being new enough, and its a very nice article too. The article is neutral and I did not detect any close paraphrasing issues. You do not need to review another nomination until your 6th DYK. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:46, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
  • New enough (created 8 Oct, nom'ed 15 Oct; barely made it).✓ Long enough (over 4k characters).✓ Neutral POV.✓ Reliable sources supported by in-line citations of reliable sources.✓ Checked for problems with close paraphrasing issues, copyright violations and plagiarism with half a dozen Google searches of phrases enclosed in quotes; all returned only to this article.✓ QPQ not needed because it is first DYK self-nom.✓ Hook is interesting✓ but cited source does not support that the book was published for the 100th anniversary.✗ Hook should be reworded, perhaps proposed Alt_1 (156 characters) or Alt_2 (162 characters)? DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 19:39, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
  • ALT 1 ... that Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey was published just before the 100th anniversary of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 on which it was based?
  • ALT 2 ... that Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey was released during the 100th anniversary year of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914 on which the novel was based?
  • Reconfirming my approval of this article. I had the same doubt as Doctree about the original hook and had intended (though I see I did not do so) to change the "created for" in the original hook to "released in time for". I was distracted by being edit conflicted during the review. I have now struck the original hook and approve ALT1 and ALT2, either of which could be used.
