  • This article is new enough and long enough. I wondered whether "expedite" was the right word for the hook, but I see the source uses it, so I daresay its OK. The hook facts are cited inline, the article is neutral, and I detected no copyright issues. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:31, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
  • There is some close paraphrasing that should be rephrased in your own words. Simply adding quote marks to phrases doesn't eliminate the word-by-word and sentence-by-sentence copying:
  • Source: The CR also includes a “technical fix” to a drafting error made in last year’s omnibus spending bill regarding hours-of-service rules for truck drivers. The language clarifies what rules will be in place if the Department of Transportation fails to prove that a proposed change to the rule is beneficial for drivers.
  • Article: Finally, a "technical fix" is included in the bill to a drafting error made in 2015's omnibus spending bill regarding hours-of-service (HOS) rules for truck drivers. The new language specifies which rules would apply when the Department of Transportation "fails to prove that a proposed change to the HOS rule is beneficial for drivers".

Good catch. That was from the section that I didn't write, but I should have checked myself before nominating. I've rewritten the entire section to avoid close paraphrasing. Antony–22 (talk⁄contribs) 23:10, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you. No close paraphrasing seen. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:40, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
