This is an interesting, well written article that is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain and the only problem is with the hook. There needs to be an inline citation for the shipwreck sentence and the article should mention the word "fever" if you are going to use this word in the hook.

- Comment: It seems to me that the shipwrecking is already referenced to the current footnote No. 13: "Godley 1970, p. 77.". Although not directly applied, the note refers to the following sentence of the expedition's rescue. Unless the shipwrecking is described on a different page by Godley, this reference is fine in my opinion and it would look awkward to cite it two times immediately after each other.

- They are good points. I prefer not to repeat the same sfn after each sentence covered by a source page, but the DYK rules are quite clear that the hook sentence should have an inline cite. I fixed it. I also tweaked the article to use the word "fever", which is used in the source. Aymatth2 (talk) 14:38, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
