Thoughts
[edit]Methinks the word "Imperial" is superfluous and is complicating the sentence. -DePiep (talk) 21:22, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- Also, "Antartic" is repeated in the first sentence. Maybe take some leeway, and drop the expedition's formal title here? - DePiep (talk) 21:24, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- Allow me: what is "chapter" in an expedition adrift? Can we omit that word? -DePiep (talk) 21:26, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- I'll ask at WT:ERRORS. - Dank (push to talk) 22:06, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- Thx. I ended up @ the wrong place somehow. -DePiep (talk) 22:16, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- Nothing wrong with asking here ... I normally try to field straightforward things, it's quicker and less public that way, but we're having a wave of questions lately, so it's probably a good idea to share the workload so I don't come off as a tyrant. - Dank (push to talk) 22:19, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
- "as a tyrant"? No you did no you do not. Call this end of talk. -DePiep (talk) 23:43, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

I prefer it with the full Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition. Better than the Easter egg expedition, in my view, but perhaps you disagree.
Interesting to see TFA blurb word-smithing like this going on in public. 213.205.240.162 (talk) 17:10, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
