Created by Smurrayinchester (talk). Self nominated at 21:34, 13 March 2013 (UTC).
- Article - created new on 13 March, so new enough; 4300 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; no copy vios detected using earwig/duplication detector; and un-assessed, so not a stub.
- Hook - within length criteria at 138 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by refs #1 and #11 (AGF) in second para of 'Fame' section; and intriguing.
- QPQ done; image is PD.
the ISBN for ref #1 looks to be incorrect - should it be 0674073177 or maybe 9780674073173? Hopefully the nominator can address this quickly as I'd like to sign off this with an AGF tick; it's an interesting article/hook! SagaciousPhil - Chat 09:51, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- You're right, it's not in any catalogues. Strange, that was the ISBN Google Books gave me! Have changed. Smurrayinchester 11:06, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Brilliant, thank you for such a rapid response! I now don't have to use an AGF tick as I accessed the page online - but please quickly change the publication year to 2012 for the ref as that is the edition the ISBN now refers to (sorry, I'm just naturally pedantic!). Thanks for coming up with such an interesting article. SagaciousPhil - Chat 11:17, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- I just went in myself and corrected year of publication for the ref, just to belt and brace approval tick! SagaciousPhil - Chat 16:29, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
- Ah, thanks! Smurrayinchester 21:27, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
