5x expanded by Ktin (talk). Self-nominated at 03:04, 17 October 2021 (UTC).
Hi Ktin, review follows: I make it just over a 5x expansion in text from 996 characters to 5103; article is cited inline to what appear to be reliable sources; the hooks are interesting, mentioned in the article and check out to the source cited. I wonder if "by his employees" should be added to ALT), as I found that more interesting (I had assumed he had been gifted them by Levi's); A QPQ has been carried out. Looks OK except I picked up one issue with close paraphrasing, the phrase "His habit of carrying a ring of keys dangling from his belt loop led to more than one instance when he was mistaken by an executive's wife for a janitor." is very close to the source (NYT obituary): "His habit of carrying a ring of keys dangling from his belt loop led at least one executive’s wife to mistake him for a janitor", can this be reworded? - Dumelow (talk) 08:21, 17 October 2021 (UTC)- Thanks @Dumelow:, I reworded the sentence. Please see if that works. Also, I am good with adding "by his employees". Ktin (talk) 14:00, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi Ktin, rewording looks OK to me. I've added "by his employees" to ALT0 bu also happy for this to run without. Just noticed that the wording used in the article and hook in relation to the janitor incident doesn't quite agree with the source: "more than once" is not the same as "at least one executive’s wife", by a strict reading of the latter it could have only happened once - Dumelow (talk) 06:03, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
