Portrait of Kate Baker, OBE
  • ... that Kate Baker (pictured), an influential Australian literary figure, once wrote a love letter to the author of the Australian novel Such Is Life, Joseph Furphy, whilst suffering from typhoid fever? Source: Barnes, John (1991). "Baker of Ours". The Order of Things: A Life of Joseph Furphy. Oxford University Press, p. 191. ISBN 978-0195531879.
    • ALT1:... that Kate Baker (pictured) arranged to republish the Australian novel Such Is Life by Joseph Furphy after locating half the original manuscript under some lumber in the offices of The Bulletin?
    • For finding the MSS: I.R. (22 November 1947). "Some recent collectors' items". The Age. Victoria, Australia. p. 7 (FINAL EDITION). Retrieved 30 May 2021 – via National Library of Australia.
    • For literary influence, I cite: Duncan, Roy (1980). "Kate Baker, 'Standard-Bearer'". Australian Literary Studies. 9 (3): 379–385. doi:10.20314/als.9c1ec3d53e. ISSN 1837-6479.; also Ewers, John Keith (9 November 1929). "Pioneers of the Pen". The West Australian. Western Australia. p. 4.

ISSN 1833-7538. Retrieved 4 October 2020 – via National Centre of Biography, Australian National University.
    • For quintessential (meaning the typical example that influenced Australian novels of the period), I refer you to the fact The Bulletin published it, it influenced Miles Franklin to write “Who was Joseph Furphy?”, it was celebrated by and influenced multiple literary figures as seen throughout the article. I will change it to “for the period”.
  • Comment: I just got this to GA status

Improved to Good Article status by Aussie Article Writer (talk). Self-nominated at 06:55, 14 June 2021 (UTC).


General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Could you please pinpoint the exact sources for influential figure in the main hook and quintessential Australian novel for both hooks?
  • Interesting: Yes
Image: Image is freely licensed, used in the article, and clear at 100px.

QPQ: No - Have you done one?
Overall: ALT1 is more interesting. JBchrch talk 18:48, 21 June 2021 (UTC)

@JBchrch: I have given references. I have limited it to “quintessential novel of its period”. I suspect I would need to quote dozens of sources for this, all of which are in the article. Perhaps a different word may be needed for DYK? Would “important” be better? - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 01:00, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
@Aussie Article Writer: further to Narutolovehinata5, do you think we could maybe remove the quintessential Australian novel of its period language? It would improve the length problem and also solve the sourcing issue. ALT1 is interesting enough to me without it. JBchrch talk 13:53, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
That would work. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 13:55, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
I am fine with this :-) - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 00:33, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
for ALT1. I see that no QPQ is necessary in your case (less than 5 DYK noms): however, feel free to review another nomination! JBchrch talk 09:10, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
Just noticed QPQ, I’ll do some reviews :-) thanks! - Aussie Article Writer (talk) 10:35, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
