Hi Dharmadhyaksha, review follows: article moved to tmainspace1 4 October; article is of sufficient length; article is cited inline throughout to reliable sources; no overly close paraphrasing noticed (quotations are appropriately indicated); hook is interesting enough, cited in article and checks out to reliable online source; QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me - Dumelow (talk) 07:22, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Comment: I'd word that with the bold link first, if you want attention for the novel, not the author or Scots, actually doubting that Scot need a link. Also: get Scot and Scott closer together ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:57, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- Rewording per @Gerda Arendt:'s suggestion:
- ALT1: ... that for the narrative poetry novel The Long Take, Robin Robertson became the first poet and first Scot to win the Walter Scott Prize?
- And just for fun, here's ALT2 as well.
ALT2: ... that it took long for a Scot's novel, The Long Take, to win the Walter Scott Prize; named after the Scottish novelist?§§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 09:50, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- I am happy with ALT1, but will leave it to Dumelow to approve. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- ALT1 is OK but ALT0 is worded more naturally. I am personally not too bothered if the bolded article is at the start or end of the hook. I am not sure what "took look" means in ALT2 and the Long Take article doesn't currently state that the Walter Scott Prize was named for a Scottish novelist named Walter Scott, though it undoubtedly is - Dumelow (talk) 11:26, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
- My typo! I meant "took long". And ALT2 was anyways just proposed for fun. Thanks for your overall review. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 12:36, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
