[edit]- ... that in 1968, Edward George Sydney Paige became leader of a research group investigating Rayleigh waves on semiconductor surfaces and the group won the Ministry of Defence's Wolfe Award?
Created by Colapeninsula (talk), Victuallers (talk). Nominated by Tentinator (talk) at 20:44, 12 December 2013 (UTC).
- not long enough - stand by Victuallers (talk) 20:08, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- Extended the article and I would like to propose this alt (xmas pressy for the Royal Society WIR) Victuallers (talk) 22:30, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that physicist Professor Ted Paige, who was a Fellow of the Royal Society, started researching haemochromatosis when he found out he was suffering from it?
Full review needed by new reviewer, since Victuallers is now a contributor to the article. I've fixed the punctuation and capitalization in ALT1. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:06, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

- The so-called "Copyvio check" does not actually check the article's sources, and this is demonstrated by some concerning similarities between article and sources. (Note to Matty.007: you should really use Duplication detector to spot-check the article against its sources; Earwig is not sufficient in and of itself.) Indeed, the phrase "Reading University where he gained a first class honours degree in physics" is identical between the article and FN2. Although FN1 is cited here, this text was cited to FN2 in the original edits by Colapeninsula, and this isn't the only FN1 citation where the text appears to be closely paraphrased from FN2.

- These tools are tricky. Even the dupe detector picks up phrases like "Reading University where he gained a first class honours degree in physics" in two totally different sentences as a problem. I have broken up this phrase so it doesn't show up in the tool. Victuallers (talk) 18:18, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
- I'm not seeing any further close paraphrasing of concern, but it seems a good copy-edit might be in order. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:36, 16 January 2014 (UTC)
- Alright, so I've completed a pretty thorough copy-edit of the article's text in comparison to the internally cited references, and it looks like all the above concerns have been taken care of and corrected. I prefer ALT1 The article was new enough at the time of its nomination, and is certainly now long enough for DYK. -- Caponer (talk) 04:12, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
