This looks fine to me, but I am a connected contributor - what does anyone else think? Dwab3 (talk) 14:50, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

This is a good article on an interesting non-fiction book. The main problem is that some of the text is too close to the sources. Using the "Duplicate detector", see here and here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing these out Cwmhiraeth! I have gone through and altered all the instances of similar phrasing that can be changed. Some, however, can't really be altered - e.g. the names of the authors - and many others are direct attributed quotations, in quotation marks. I think it should all be fine now, but perhaps someone would like to check? Best wishes, Dwab3 (talk) 11:30, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Good to go now. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:17, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Would rule C6 be an issue? --PFHLai (talk) 01:33, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

It looks to me like C6 refers to works of fiction. This is an article about a non-fiction book. Dwab3 (talk) 11:04, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Good point. Thanks. --PFHLai (talk) 03:01, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
