- Comment: This will be my final DYK before needing to do a QPQ
Created/expanded by GreatLakesShips (talk). Self-nominated at 21:05, 19 November 2020 (UTC).
Article is new enough and long enough; there are plenty of references and every paragraph is referenced. Perhaps there are excessive references for some statements, where one would do there might be 13. A neutral tone is used. copyright check shows nothing as a problem. QPQ is not required as only 3 DYK credits received so far. Image is free to use and looks OK, and is in use. Original hook can be easily inferred from the text, it is referenced, and reference confirms the fact. Good to go with main hook.

- Changing this to a ? as when checking alt1, one reference 7 says the ship sank in 1901 and proves it with a paper from the time, so did this sink in 1901 or 1916? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:08, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Graeme Bartlett: The reference used in the hook and the article correspond to the SS Hudson (1887) another one of my articles. The reference states that both the S.R. Kirby and the Hudson are two of the deepest shipwrecks ever discovered in the Great Lakes. Apologies for not being clearer. GreatLakesShips (talk) 15:11, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response, I got confused between different ships in the different references. so main hook is OK. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:50, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

Please see my note at Template:Did you know nominations/SS Pere Marquette 18. Here, too, you have up to 10 citations per sentence. Please remove the uncontroversial cites from the lead and if one reference verifies the sentence fact, then leave it at one cite. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:09, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Yoninah: I have done the same as with the Pere Marquette 18. The only place with more than five citations is the note, where the citations referencing the individual ships are necessary. GreatLakesShips (talk) 01:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
