General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy compliance:

• Adequate sourcing:

• Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing: - (Violation Possible 42.9% per Earwig's Copyvio Detector)

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: * Long enough. New enough. Well written with reliable citations throughout. But I found copyvio or plagiarism concerns likely 42.9% per Earwig's Copyvio Detector, QPQ is good, reliable sources are used properly throughout the article and the hook is cited, verified, short enough, neutral, and interesting! - Taung Tan (talk) 08:46, 30 July 2022 (UTC)

• @Taung Tan: That 42.9% is the mission statement quoted in the 6th Military Police Group (United States)#Mission and purpose section. Given that the mission statement is a specific wording and meaning it's quoted with attribution instead of paraphrased (see United States Army Training and Doctrine Command and United States Cyber Command for examples) It matches this site via Earwig because that website is also quoting the mission statement. If you look at the side-by-side comparison on Earwig aside from the name of the Group, the only matching phrasing is the mission statement. Further, the mission statement is written by members of the United States Army under the United States Department of Defense and per the copyright status of works by the federal government of the United States is in the public domain, but is still quoted in the article in a blockquote to make clear that it's not original wording but is a direct quote. - Aoidh (talk) 22:06, 30 July 2022 (UTC)
