Review of revision 1292916 [Passed]

Revision 1292916 of this article has been reviewed by Pi zero (talk · contribs) and has passed its review at 17:14, 28 September 2011 (UTC). Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: Avoid copying the words or phrases or sentence structure of the sources. On words alone, a good rule of thumb is there shouldn't be more than three consecutive words from a source, with common-sense exceptions like titles. Several passages were well over that. Reordering the elements of a sentence helps. It's also good (and I saw some here) to mix elements in a synthesis passage from different sources, or distant parts of a single source. Another useful technique, for distance from sources, is to leave out a few of the less important details of a source passage when using it (or move the elements of the source passage far away from each other in the synthesis). 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.

The headline needed changing because it was non-neutral and also not nearly specific enough. (I'd meant to earlier, and kicked myself for forgetting till after publication — renamings after publication are discouraged.) --Pi zero (talk) 17:35, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
