Alfred Eteson

Created by Philafrenzy (talk) and Whispyhistory (talk). Nominated by Philafrenzy (talk) at 20:56, 23 May 2018 (UTC).

  • Reviewing: see below
  • Long enough;
  • New enough when nominated;
  • Copyvio check finds no issues;
  • A look through the cited sources finds no close paraphrasing;
  • Sufficient use of inline citations;
  • Article is neutral
  • Alt0 and Alt1 are in my view not very interesting, although i suppose it is a bit unusual for a medical officer to be mentioned in dispatches multiple times. However,
  • the source cited for Alt0 and Alt1 says that Eteson was mentioned in dispatches several times, not specifically "three" times.
  • Alt2 is supported by its cited source, and looks interesting to me, although I would change it to "winds laden with [a] pestiferous miasma" to indicate the (perfectly proper) grammatical change inside a quote. Otherwise ALT2 looks good.
  • QPK names Duck netting, but that review was done by Whispyhistory, not by Philafrenzy. If the review is being donated by Whispyhistory there should be a comment to that effect somewhere.
  • The QPK needs to be addressed. The difference between source and hook for Alt0 and Alt1 should be addressed, but strictly need not be if we are going with Alt2. The squatr brackets in Alt2 should be inserted or rejected. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 03:04, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Thank you, agree Alt2 is the best, struck other hooks. The review is not donated as Whispyhistory is a co-author of this article. Personally, I don't feel the square bracket is necessary in the hook. The hook does not form part of the encyclopedic content of the article and the change also does not alter the sense of the quote. The matter may be left to the person assembling the hook set. Philafrenzy (talk) 04:19, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
  • Then this looks good to go, although i do really think that any change in a direct quote should be indicated. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 13:22, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
