The Thirteenth Tale (film)
[edit]... that The Thirteenth Tale, a television film made for the BBC, is an adaptation of Diane Setterfield's gothic novel The Thirteenth Tale?
Created by Tentinator (talk). Self nominated at 18:25, 23 October 2013 (UTC).
Readable prose comes to 1808 characters, BUT the great majority of it is quite long quotes. Referencing is good; appropriate citations, no bare URLs. The hook is rather dry and factual and not very "hooky". This is my first DYK review, so someone else should have a look too. Edwardx (talk) 21:35, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

... that part of The Thirteenth Tale was filmed at Burton Agnes Hall, an Elizabethan manor house in East Yorkshire?
- and I've removed a lot of the quotations. Tentinator 07:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Length is now down to 1315 prose characters, so more will need to be added now that BBC press release material quotes (puffery) have been removed. I've also taken care of some close paraphrasing in the second Production paragraph. Assuming that the article will be expanded by at least 200 prose characters or so, I'd like to suggest a combination of the two previous hooks as ALT2, which runs 163 characters, which uses "gothic novel" and "Elizabethan manor house" in the same hook:
- ALT2:

- The article now has over 1500 characters. Tentinator 09:51, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

New review needed, including the ALT hooks. BlueMoonset (talk) 03:45, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Article is new enough and long enough and the ALT1 hook is suitably cited. Have struck the other hooks because the source does not use the word "gothic". However, QPQ needs to be done before this can go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:19, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
- Reproposing ALT2 as ALT2a without the unsupported word "gothic":

- Support ALT2a and I've done the QPQ (Template:Did you know nominations/Nokia Lumia 2520). Tentinator 17:42, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
Good, ready to go with ALT2a then. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2013 (UTC)
