An Account of Corsica

 * ... that the 1768 journal An Account of Corsica (engraved illustration pictured) was so successful its author became widely known as "Corsica Boswell"?
 * Reviewed: St Mungo's (charity)
 * Comment: The article was created new by User:Calamity Hill on 22 July but for some bizarre reason, the history shows something weird for October 2005.
 * If you look at the Diff, it would appear that an IP created something with an incomplete 3-word sentence on 2005.  Probably immediately deleted.   When Calamity Hill created this version with a Wizard,  it probably was right over the old deleted one.  Guessing that's what happened.  It does throw the DYK Check off, so good that you noted it here. — Maile  (talk) 20:31, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Nice collaborative work. Certainly a interesting read while meeting all of the criteria. The hook looks fine to me although I would mention the author by name, so that the reader can make the connection. The article is well-referenced, and a quick check to the sources didn't reveal any copyright violations. Promoting before the article goes stale. Alex ShihTalk 17:29, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
