Escape from Tomorrow[edit]

Created by Daniel Case (talk). Self nom at 19:55, 22 January 2013 (UTC)


Article is 10846 characters long and newly created January 21; well cited; was a stub but I've re-assessed to start class; neutral and well written; hook is catchy and referenced in para #6 under 'Production' heading. I have a couple of questions - forgive me if I'm showing my ignorance on this subject! - when I did a search, it looks as if the wording in the lead is the same as this 'daily omnivore' site [1] ?
You need to do more than just search on text. I wrote that introduction early in the morning US EST; the daily omnivore post is timestamped 4:25 p.m. that afternoon—over 12 hours later. And it has a big honking quote on it. It looks to me like it was scraped from us. Daniel Case (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend; I really did fully suspect it had been copied from your text but was just double checking. I'm very, very new to reviewing DYKs and I am trying to avoid making errors. Again I wholeheartedly apologise for my mistake. That was the only query I had on what I thought was an exceptional article. I will now mark it with a 'good to go tick'. SagaciousPhil - Chat 15:39, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I got cranky about it; I had less time at the computer than I wanted to and couldn't devote as much time as I would have liked to responding and editing. Daniel Case (talk) 17:15, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
  • I also wonder if a couple of ''very'' minor edits need to be made to the article text (I would just do them myself if I was 101% sure) - para #7 - maybe change to read 'over half a dozen rides' - that sentence does need to be changed. Insert quotation marks in reception section? Sorry if I'm being pedantic and/or tedious! SagaciousPhil - Chat 10:36, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
