[edit] Scott said he could only trust Evans, Lashly, and Crean?
What is the source of the assertion that Scott said he could only trust Evans, Lashly, and Crean? The original account of Crean's solo trip in this article was factually garbled so I am kind of distrustful of this other statement as well. Dr.frog 12:53, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- I've read a number of books on this subject and haven't come across a statement this strong from Scott. There is no doubt though that Scott held these men in very high regard so I modified the statement as such and included a citation from Scott's diary. Zatoichi26 (talk) 03:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] GA approval
I have now passed the article GA, so congratulations after all your hard work. I am writing a formal report for the archive, and will let you know where this is when I've done it.
The only late changes I've made are in the lead, where I've extended or combined sentences, adopted British spellings and styles, re-routed the open boat journey (you had it going through Drake's Passage) and other bits of tweaking. I think it's OK now.
You probably need a break, but when you feel ready for a new challenge, if you want another Antarctic project and haven't one in mind, take a look at the list on my userpage This is a summary of projects that I may, or may not, get round to. You are very welcome to pick one of these, and I'd be willing to assist. Don't pick Ernest Joyce, though, as I'm doing some work on that at present.
Also, for your interest, the two big projects, Captain Scott and Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, will be at FAC and peer review respectively, in the next day or two. Brianboulton (talk) 12:55, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

- Thanks Brian, congratulations to you too for a very thorough GA review. The article is vastly improved over the original. I may take a break from Wikipedia for a bit, as you suggested, but I'll look into the articles you've suggested later. Zatoichi26 (talk) 21:51, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
