Malawi-Mozambique relations

Did you know that Mozambique has an embassy in Lilongwe and a consulate in Blantyre?

Some issues with close paraphrasing - compare for example "The deal was earlier proposed in 2008, but stalled due to cost concerns" with "First proposed in 2008, the project stalled because of cost concerns." There's a broader issue with neutrality in the article, though - for example, "The moment considered the miraculous act of generosity and sympathy in the two countries relations...After this kindfelt gesture, Malawian relations with Mozambique crumbled under the tenure of Bingu wa Mutharika, notoriously reaching a nadir when Malawian police launched a raid into Mozambique's territory."

Am just now informing nominator that there are issues. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:34, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

I believe I fixed the article's issues regarding neutrality, and now ask what exactly are the issues with close paraphrasing? QatarStarsLeague (talk) 19:01, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

There's a specific example given in Nikkimaria's review, which I see you have not fixed, and there will be others that need to be addressed as well.

Close paraphrasing remains unaddressed. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
