Article
- Length:
- Vintage:
- Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): - source is good. More than one would be better.
- Neutrality:
- Plagiarism/close paraphrasing: the sentence in the lead is close to the source, but I can't think of another way to phrase it without warping the meaning, so will let it go. There was another example that benefitted from being massaged to be a bit more different from the source, but the other segment was ok. I can't see any other pages from the book on my viewing of google books. Recommend looking at it to just double check on some wording.
- Copyvio:
- Obvious faults in prose, structure, formatting: No gross ones.
Comments/discussion: Just compare the wording of source and text and massage teh latter if you see any which have a few words in a row in common. Otherwise, I am impressed such a core article made qualify for DYK. well done. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:00, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
