An Account of Corsica
[edit]
- ... that the 1768 journal An Account of Corsica (engraved illustration pictured) was so successful its author became widely known as "Corsica Boswell"?
- Reviewed: St Mungo's (charity)
- Comment: The article was created new by User:Calamity Hill on 22 July but for some bizarre reason, the history shows something weird for October 2005.
- If you look at the Diff , it would appear that an IP created something with an incomplete 3-word sentence on 2005. Probably immediately deleted. When Calamity Hill created this version with a Wizard, it probably was right over the old deleted one. Guessing that's what happened. It does throw the DYK Check off, so good that you noted it here. — Maile (talk) 20:31, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

Nice collaborative work. Certainly a interesting read while meeting all of the criteria. The hook looks fine to me although I would mention the author by name, so that the reader can make the connection. The article is well-referenced, and a quick check to the sources didn't reveal any copyright violations. Promoting before the article goes stale. Alex ShihTalk 17:29, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
