Complies: article is NPOV and is in a different field of interest than other DYK listings
Complies: Article is not trivial but a part of the second largest war in world history and also subject of a Mel Gibson film, Gallipoli.
Complies: This article is less than 5 days old. It was created today.
Comples: length is almost double the minimum length.
Complies: This article is related to World War I, which involved many countries.
Complies: Several sources, this is notable since the war was 90 years ago, long before the internet era.
Complies: I did not create this article. It does motivate editors to contribute. Look at me. I (Chergles) saw it and contributed.
Complies: It hasn't changed for 90 years, won't change for another 90 years.

Please make the article longer and the hook shorter. If the shortened hook still includes Gallipoli, the battle and the film, you or I should wikilink them. I added a link to

Wikipedia:Did you know, since you went to so much work to document our rules but missed some of our most regularly enforced ones. I also corrected details including the spelling of

Thank you.
Which "legend" is buried here? John Simpson Kirkpatrick and Beach Commonwealth War Graves Commission Cemetery says he is buried there. -- !! ?? 23:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
John Simpson Kirkpatrick is indeed buried at Beach Cemetery, Plot 1, Row F, Grave 1. [1] [2] The first reference, the Australian Government ANZAC website, quotes a letter saying he was killed in Shrapnel Gully. However the second one, the CWGC website, contradicts this by saying that he was killed near Steele's Post, which was on the front line at the top of Monash Valley. The main route from the beach area to the front line was through Shrapnel Gully and then through Monash Valley. -- Jll 21:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
