... that the DK Atlas of World History was praised for offering more global coverage than its contemporaries?
- ALT1:... that ...?

Date (just!) and length fine. AGF on paywalled source. QPQ done. No close paraphrasing. No picture present. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 23:28, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was going to promote this hook, but I do not think the source verifies the hook. I have proposed an ALT below:

ALT1:... that the DK Atlas of World History includes maps on the spread of agriculture and the movement of indentured servants? Source: "The DK mapmakers have provided information about the worldwide expansion of agriculture" and "The DK's world map of "indentured labor" indicates the importance of India and China to the flow of unfree labor in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and not simply the movement between Europe and the Atlantic world." [1]

Philafrenzy, Whispyhistory and The C of E please let me know if ALT1 is acceptable. Z1720 (talk) 01:39, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: It just needs an inline citation at the moment. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 05:10, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Added that ref. Alt1 is fine with me. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:14, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now that's done that's OK to proceed. Again, I'm AGFing on the paywall source. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:25, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks everyone! This is gtg. Another prep setter can promote this hook if I don't get to it first. Z1720 (talk) 14:48, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
