Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2

 * ... that character names in Bad Dirt include Orion Horncrackle, Creel Zmundzinski, Plato Bucklew, Fiesta Punch and Gilbert Wolfscale?
 * ALT1: ... that Bad Dirt is currently only 30 sentences long but includes 37 references from reliable sources?

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Rule H11 of the DYK rules is that an article about a work of fiction must employ a hook which involves the real world in some manner. Please fashion a hook about the real world (and not the joking ALT1 hook.) The article has too much about the plot and too little about the real world, so that will also be a challenge.

OK. How about ALT2: ... that while Bad Dirt: Wyoming Stories 2 was poorly received critically in comparison to Close Range: Wyoming Stories, one of the short stories in the collection won the 2004 Aga Khan Prize for Fiction? --Shirt58 (talk) 11:54, 31 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg That works! You could also replace Close Range: Wyoming Stories with "the author's previous work" to focus hits on the new article. Length and date check out, the article is suitably referenced. Online sources confirm the hook. No detected copyright violations or too-close paraphrasing. Binksternet (talk) 15:26, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg ALT2 is not mentioned or sourced in the article. Yoninah (talk) 23:08, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
 * This addition covers it. Binksternet (talk) 16:58, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Great, thanks. Both hook refs verified and cited inline. ALT2 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:02, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
