 * Article is big enough and new enough, moving into article space. There is no obvious duplication of content. Correct people credited.  If you use on this day, it belongs in another section on the front page, so I expect a different hook. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 08:39, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

This looks good, but there's no citation for the expedition concluding on 6 June. Nick-D (talk) 06:38, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

Please can someone consider putting this in preparation area 2? That will be the ideal time for Australian readers to see it on the anniversary. Thanks. 99of9 (talk) 22:56, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
