Carlton Colville Scouts Memorial
- ... that a memorial in Suffolk, England, marks the deaths of six members of a scout troop in a 1914 boating accident and that of the sole survivor two years later in the Battle of the Somme?
- Source: "The memorial, by mason Mr James E Proudfoot, was erected over the grave of the Scoutmaster and Sea Scouts who died in a sailing accident on the River Waveney on 1 June 1914. After his death in France on 19 July 1916 a dedication to Stanley Wood, the sole survivor of the accident, was added to the memorial ... On board were Scoutmaster Thornton Lory (34), Assistant Scoutmaster Sydney Searle (18), Naval Instructor James Lewington (30) and Scouts Reginald Middleton (14), Arthur Beare (14), Sydney Thrower (16) and Stanley Wood (17)." from: "Memorial to the Carlton Colville Sea Scouts and Lance-Corporal Stanley Wood, Carlton Colville - 1433806".

Overall: 
The article was moved to the mainspace on October 28 and nominated the same day for DYK. Length and sourcing are adequate. The article is neutral in tone. No plagiarism was detected, and I note that Earwig highlights only proper nouns and directly attributed quotes which are not violations. The nominated image is freely licensed on the Commons, used in the article, and clear at a low resolution. The hook interesting and mentioned in the article, but needs better sourcing in the "Death of Wood and later events" section for verification as per WP:DYKCRIT. Specifically, the sentences including "The sole survivor of the accident", and " He was killed in action...at...the Battle of the Somme." all need a citation directly at the end of the sentence. The QPQ requirement at the moment only addressed the eligibility of the article, not the other criteria yet. As per WP:DYKRR, a full review needs to be done to count as a QPQ. Thanks for the wonderful nomination! Flibirigit (talk) 20:50, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Flibirigit, I've duplicated the refs from the end of the paragraph to where you've indicated. I guess the rules on QPQ must have changed recently? I can't see the point in reviewing the other criteria if it fails on one aspect, please use instead: Template:Did you know nominations/All Hell Breaks Loose (Charmed) - Dumelow (talk) 21:26, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
The hook is now properly cited and verified by the source. The complete QPQ is much appreciated. Nomination approved, and I will move into the special occasion holding area. Flibirigit (talk) 22:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
