Revision 1474998 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 15:44, 20 April 2012 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Don't start with source text and then "scuff it up" to avoid copyvio. The result is likely to be copyvio. Your objective is to choose information that's verified by the sources and then present it in your own original way, using your insight into the story to offer your readers a new and useful way of understanding the information you've chosen. The reviewer is liable to think in terms of "distance from source", and of course you as writer do have to be aware of that, but you shouldn't be getting there mainly by thinking in those terms. The "distance" involves, most superficially, not copying more than three consecutive words from a source (with common-sense exceptions like titles), and also not imitating phrase/sentence structure, distinctive word-choices or turns of phrase, and extended order of presentation. The reviewed revision should automatically have been edited by removing {{Review}} and adding {{Publish}} at the bottom, and the edit sighted; if this did not happen, it may be done manually by a reviewer.
