Created by Tom Morris (talk), Edwardx (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 23:17, 24 October 2013 (UTC).

New (19th), barely long enough, not within policy (see below), no copyvio found via tool, QPQ done. Recurring copyvio/close paraphrasing issue as mentioned in other DYKs and talk page, e.g.,
she was prone to repetition from one book to another, and in later novels her popular tone became sensational, then clichéd both in style and incident
— source

Allatini's prose she was prone to repetition from one book to another. In her later novels, her popular tone became increasingly sensational, and clichéd both in style and incident.

Let's work together to make sure these issues don't crop up in the future, because this kind of close paraphrasing requires rewriting the article. Please ping me if I don't respond. czar ♔ 15:20, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

I've removed the copyvio that User:Edwardx seems to have introduced. —Tom Morris (talk) 09:31, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. Still need to check the other additions for close paraphrasing, but wanted to note that the article is too short now (under 1,500 characters) and needs to be expanded. czar ♔ 15:10, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. I scanned through the diffs that User:Edwardx made. London Gazette and 1911 Census are just data sources, there's pretty much no prose to closely paraphrase! I've removed a bit more close paraphrasing. As for the length: as I said, I'm not sure I can make it longer than 1,500 characters based on the sources to hand (which is why I didn't nominate it). —Tom Morris (talk) 17:00, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

No response from nom and still too short czar ♔ 01:55, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
