Created by 8UB3RG1N3 (talk). Self-nominated at 00:03, 12 March 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Darwin Rocksitters Club; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

• The article was created on time; however, the article creator was Aliceinthealice and not 8UB3RG1N3, so Aliceinthealice needs a credit as well. No QPQ required as the nominator only has three nominations. The article could probably use some minor copyediting: there are a few grammatical errors here and there, and the sentence "What made this unique was that the rocks they sat on would be a metre underwater at high tide in the crocodile infested waters." might need to be revised as it sound a bit like editorializing. My preferred hooks are the original hook and ALT1 with a slight preference for ALT1 although I will not oppose ALT0 being promoted instead. The issue is that ALT1's source, or at least the link given, doesn't mention the crocodile-infested waters thing. The link will thus need to be changed to the actual page on the website that mentions it. The source is primary, but given the noncontroversial nature it should be acceptable in this case.

Hi, I have made some changes to this page to address the concerns above; I hope they address these concerns sufficiently Aliceinthealice (talk) 23:24, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Aliceinthealice: Thank you. However, the edits made to the article do not address the concerns about the crocodiles because, while they mention the waters being infested with crocodiles, the sources do not make an explicit link to rocksitting. Thus, the claim and its sourcing could be classified as synthesis and thus unsuitable. If the sourcing issues with ALT1 can't be fixed, we may have just to stick with ALT0. In any case, there are still some minor grammatical errors in the article; perhaps an editor like Launchballer can give this a quick copyedit to help this move forward.

Thank you (talk I have removed the sentence and I would apprecaite if another editor could do the copy editing, Cheers :) Aliceinthealice (talk) 01:58, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've given this a very quick copyedit, may come back for another pass.--Launchballer 08:17, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Launchballer: Thanks for the copyedit; is everything okay now or can wordings still be improved? Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 12:48, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've reworded what's there, however with multiple short sentences and one section much longer than the other, this article does not meet WP:DYKCOMPLETE.--Launchballer 13:05, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about this. The article already seems as comprehensive as is, and perhaps the reason why some parts are only a single sentence long is simply because that's all that's known or available. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 10:49, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've taken out the Memorial plaque section header and knocked a few short sections together myself. What else needs to be done to this?--Launchballer 15:58, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing else. This should be good to go. As my original preferred hook is no longer usable, my preferred hook is now ALT0. Narutolovehinata5 (talk · contributions) 22:41, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
