Length, date, hook, image, qpq, close paraphrase checks out. --Soman (talk) 00:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)- @ITBF and Soman: there's close paraphrasing in this article which should be resolved before promotion.--Launchballer 15:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm looking at the Earwig tool. There is the wording " which was widely seen as a promotion" which could be too close paraphrase, but otherwise seems ok. --Soman (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- I was also thinking "1887, Jenkins married Caroline Kent" and "He died in Colombo on 18 July 1911".--Launchballer 16:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
- User:Launchballer what specific sentences do you have an issue with - most of those flagged are direct quotes or titles? ITBF (talk) 03:08, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
