- Comment - Also, please note that some of the content in this article was created by copying information from other articles. However, the amount of new content in the article, not counting copied content, is over fivefold. Northamerica1000(talk) 08:15, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
We might have a problem: the Creative Commons license requires attribution when copying material, which does not seem to have been provided via edit summaries or templates. (The page creation says "copied from breakfast", but you implied there were multiple copyings so I assume that other edits should also have attribution.) Failure to attribute constitutes a copyright violation, even if only copying within Wikipedia (Wikipedia does not own the copyright to any material - it lies in the hands of the original contributors). See WP:copying within Wikipedia for more information. To fix this, you'll have to go back a figure out the source and destination oldids for each copying and add {{copied}} templates to the talk pages of the source and destination (i.e. this article) for each such edit (source & destination templates share same parameters). If this is unclear or you have questions, let me know. --ThaddeusB (talk) 04:19, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
- I always properly attribute in edit summaries in every instance when doing so, per the Hyperlink section at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia#Proper attribution, where it states (in part), "If material has been contributed by more than one author, providing a link in the edit summary is the simplest method of providing attribution. A statement in the edit summary such as copied content from [[article name]]; see that article's history for attribution will direct interested parties to the edit history of the source page, where they can trace exactly who added what content when." Please see the article's Revision history: I have provided proper attribution for every instance when data was copied. When the article was initially created, I also provided proper attribution (again, see the Revision history) that some information was copied from another article.

Very good. Like I said, I noticed the initial edit was documented, but wasn't sure about the others. Everything checks out (sufficient new length, cite fact, article complying with policy overall). The original wording of the hook is a bit strange to me, so I suggest a tweak:
- ALT1 ... that in the history of breakfast, coffee and chocolate were adopted as breakfast drinks by fashionable British people during the 1700s?
- Whichever wording is used, we are good to go. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
- I support using ALT1; the wording is more concise. Thanks for providing it. Northamerica1000(talk) 03:48, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
- Whichever wording is used, we are good to go. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:24, 28 April 2013 (UTC)
