Short story and novel plots[edit]

I've added the plot of the short story to the article, but, since the page is about the novel, I'll endeavor on adding that as well soon. So as not to have the plot section occupy most of the page, I'm considering either removing the short story plot or writing a more concise plot for the novel, mostly noting where the both diverge significantly. Opinions on how to proceed are welcome. Isabelle ^🔔 16:32, 18 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... that The Lodger, released in 1913, was the first novelization of the serial killer known as Jack the Ripper? Sources: "Using a “woman’s wit and cunning”: Marie Belloc Lowndes Rewrites the Ripper" (first paragraph) and Critical survey of mystery and detective fiction"
- ALT1:... that The Lodger, a 1913 novel by Marie Belloc Lowndes, was the first work of fiction written about Jack the Ripper?

Comment: First time doing one of these, so apologies if I missed anything.

5x expanded by Isabelle Belato (talk). Self-nominated at 23:26, 21 September 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Article was expanded at least five -fold and was nominated on due time. It is neural and cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports no significant text similarities. Both hooks are well-formatted and interesting. Their length is within limit. Hook fact is cited inline. No QPQ is required since the nominator has fewer than five DYK credits. Good to go.
