 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sufficiently expanded and new enough, QPQ review performed, all non-lead paragraphs have inline citations, the Publications section is not sourced with citations, but this also does not count toward the prose of the article as a list, checks for copyvio reveals no problems (e.g. ), hook content is verified with inline citations to a reliable source in the article. The source does not directly state that it was the first edition, but this is reasonably implied and virtually certain, whereby the source states, "When More sent his Utopia to Erasmus at Louvain for publication, it was almost inevitable that Dirk Martens should be the printer" and in reference to Martens, "... he issued, apart from works by many other humanists, More's Utopia in December 1516." I have supplied an alt below, which simply rearranges the hook a bit. North America1000 15:49, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
 * ALT1: ... that Dirk Martens published the first edition of Thomas More's Utopia in 1516?
 * Thanks for the review and the work on the article. Alt1 has a better flow to it, so I'm happpy to go with that one. There are other sources for the hook claim, but sadly many of them only through snippet view in Google. You can check e.g. the Cambridge History of the Book in Britain] if you need further confirmation (page 192). Fram (talk) 20:38, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
