  • 2380 characters (421 words). Hook less than 200 chars, properly referenced. I've edited the article to remove a few grammatical errors, otherwise it's fine. All good to go. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 08:18, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
  • I am concerned that some of the phrasing in this article is too close to that of its sources, particularly this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:54, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
    • I knew this time you will be pinging again :), tough I m confident I have avoided close phrasing. I'm wondering why don't you go and edit, this is not a GAN where the reviewer can't edit (even there the reviewer can do some minor fixes). I can't force you, I agree we all are volunteers, but it may just requires minor copy edits. Even this DYK reviewer had some some copy edit before reviewing it.
    • This is what source says, "During a visit to a relative in London, who also happened to be a Burger King franchisee, the Guptas realised that if they could package and sell food in a convenient form, it could work in India as well. It had to be finger food, something that could be consumed on the go. "The immediate answer was vada pav.", and this is what I have mentioned, "A Burger King franchisee earlier, Dheeraj Gupta along with his wife, on their visit to London, realized it could work in India as well if they could package and sell food in a convenient form. Vada pav was the immediate answer clicking their mind as it had to be finger handy food that could be consumed on the go."

  • Duplication detector says 10 matching phrases, all of which are three-seven words, small phrases. I don't see much of a change required there, but tell me if needed. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:40, 29 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Can someone else review it now? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
    I cleaned up the duplicate wording, although most of it was incidental, and there's no way to remove "privacy policy". This looks good to go. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 03:27, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Nope. Compare: "a deep-fried spicy potato patty in a bun that is the size and shape of a quarter-pounder" vs "a deep-fried spicy potato patty in a bun that is the size and shape of a quarter-pounder". Nikkimaria (talk) 04:53, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Fair enough, I was basing it on the linked duplication detector. What source is that from? ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 04:56, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • This one. Incidentally, as a general rule, tools like Duplication Detector are helpful in only the most obvious of cases, and lack the finesse of manual comparisons. Nikkimaria (talk) 04:59, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I was running on automatic. I only thought to address the specific issue mentioned, not to check for the rest. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 05:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Guys, thanks for working on it (helping me). I will make sure it doesn't repeat's next time. -- ♪Karthik♫ ♪Nadar♫ 07:30, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • I am too hungry to keep doing this right now, I've just run cleanup through the page. Let me know if anyone notices a duplication I missed, thanks. ▫ JohnnyMrNinja 15:50, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Now 2327 characters. Checked thoroughly, no close-paraphrasing. Good to Go! -- ɑηsuмaη ʈ ᶏ ɭ Ϟ 18:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
