Edward Eugene Claplanhoo[edit]

Created by Scanlan (talk). Self nominated at 03:30, 21 March 2014 (UTC).

  • Article created by Scanlan on March 16, 2014. Size 7,375 characters of readable prose. Well supported by inline citations. The only problem is a few lines taken verbatim from the source. Please fix it, here's the link to what I've found. Poeticbent talk 04:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Lines taken verbatim is a serious matter (see WP:COPYVIO), and it's been over three weeks without any action taken, including eleven days since a ping on the user's talk page. I'll give this two more days; if the issue is not addressed by then, I don't see any alternative but to close the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
  • The passage that was identified as problematic is presented in the article as a direct quotation. It's a rather long quotation, but I think it is appropriate to keep due to the unusual way the information is expressed. Everything else checks out as OK. --Orlady (talk) 03:31, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
