New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Earwig flagged a couple of areas of close paraphrasing. The hooks are too long. --evrik (talk) 03:13, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- evrik I have proposed a new, shorter hook below. In regards to paraphrasing, Earwig's Copyvio Detector registers 18% for the main source, Inherit, the highest reading. I'm not sure which areas of close paraphrasing you are specifically concerned with. Would it be possible to list them on the articles talk page and I will most certainly address them?

- ALT2:... that one the original occupants of the Bell Cottage, Jane Bell, became the first European woman to be incarcerated on Rottnest Island, having been convicted of concealing a birth? Source: Page 2: conceived after her rape and her brief incarceration on Rottnest Island. She was the first European woman to be sent to Rottnest She was charged with concealing a birth and sentenced to two years imprisonment on Rottnest Island
- Alternatively, this may be more free-flowing:
- ALT3:... that one the original occupants of the Bell Cottage, Jane Bell, was convicted of concealing a birth and became the first European woman to be incarcerated on Rottnest Island?
- Either Alt 2 or Alt 3 are okay. The source with the 18% ... it had a number of closely copied passages. Can you rework some of that text? --evrik (talk) 04:36, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- evrik I have made a few adjustments and reduced it to 15%. I will do another little rework to reduce it a bit further. Calistemon (talk) 04:41, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
- evrik I have tweaked the article a little further to reduce the number to under 10%. Is this satisfactory? Calistemon (talk) 09:50, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
