Tom Crean front right. not counting web citations, Shackleton has 28 different sources, Crean has 7. He confirms this himself when speaking in a court case in 1930. Do you have any thoughts about when that might be?

David Underdown (talk) 17:04, 18 March 2010 (UTC), The article uses statute and nautical 'miles'. Tom Crean: Heroic Explorer And Pipe Smoker. Crean’s story is a testament of human fortitude against all the elements of the Antarctic, his 36 mile, solitary trek to base camp during the Terra Nova expedition to rescue his comrades Teddy Evans and William Lashly has been described by Antarctic historians as “the finest feat of individual heroism from the entire age of exploration”. Surely the man's legacy is not a beer and a one-man play! I was assuming since it was taken sometime in 1910-13, surely it would have been published before 1923, but I don't have that documented anywhere. Promotion - I would recommend changing from "On 15 December 1916 he was promoted..." to "In December 1916 he was promoted...". (Later) On the last point, above, I've been thinking. For the changes being suggested I will provide Notes to the relevant page numbers of the book so these can be added to the Notes section when the article has been adapted by an editor I’m happy to provide further sources and references should the need arise and given my own COI as stated before requesting the changes, the task of implementing changes has to fall to an experienced Wiki editor. The day of the week is likely not entirely relevant (certainly if questionable). This seems best to me, but I invite discussion.

The area Crean was born and returned to was a hotbed of Irish Nationalism and later Irish republicanism as the article states but there's no evidence that Crean keeping a low profile had any connection to the political leanings of the time. This October, experience the story of intrepid Antarctic explorer and one of Ireland’s unsung heroes Tom Crean, brought to life on the stage of the Gaiety Theatre in this dramatic and humorous production.

However, nothing was stated at that time about the reliability of the source. (1914, January 3).

You are very welcome to pick one of these, and I'd be willing to assist. Reference to Crean being promoted to Acting Boatswain on 27th December 1916 would fit well in this section I will at some stage do a careful check on every image within the article - on my own FACs I've had more problems with images than I have with prose. The ones that you keep should probably be put into cite web format. Present were Crean's daughters, Eileen and Kate, both in their 80s. Based on the text, I've tried to resolve the ambiguity by specifying which one in each case. At the start of the day this was expressed as [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]]) by the end of the day I had removed the piping in an attempt to make the linking clearer (and on the understanding that this was a permitted exception under WP:IMOS) since in the birthplace we link to Ireland as the article on the island as a whole). I maintain my aversion to the ad, though.

Note 34 - Letters to unknown person - The letters were written to Lietenant James P Kennedy, Crean’s commanding officer at Chatham and a family friend who appeared to be Crean’s mentor and guardian - Kennedy was born in an adjacent townland to Crean and their relationship was such that Crean was chosen as Godfather to Kennedy’s daughter.

"I couldn't have been going 130km your honour, because the rules don't allow it - case closed"). I believe this section can be written in a better and more balanced way to reflect that. Even so, given the variety of the information provided, I think there should be separate citations at the end of second and third sentences. I am considering changing it to just "Tributes".

Note reference 34 refers to Crean's letter to 'unknown person' This letter was written to Lieutenant J P Kennedy, also born in Annascaul and who was a close friend and mentor of Tom Crean. T om Crean was an Irish sailor and a member of three major expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration. At least one or two more should be found for Crean. His rugged face, with pipe in mouth, adorns worn wooden walls while shelves are weighed down with books and magazines attesting to the man who put Annascaul on the explorer map.

3 Four changes to Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition section. Based on the COI editor's feedback, additional alterations to that quoted text were made, including the addition of a numbering system to the individual requests which was not present in the original COI edit request. Where has it come from? Tom’s was one of ten children, and the family lived in harsh, poverty stricken circumstances, on their farm.

WP:MILMOS#Flag icons also mentions avoiding anachronistic usage. Editors here are asked to comment on the suitability and feasibility of incorporating these edits into the article.
