5x expanded by Tempstent (talk). Self-nominated at 00:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC).[reply]

The article has been expanded enough and in time. Earwig states there is a 44.4% similiarity to one of the references, but they are things that can't be sufficiently reworded - most of the matches are names of places, titles, and awards. I assume good faith on the references that I can't access. A QPQ is not needed. There is one remaining issue in the article - The 19th reference goes to the Scopus home page. I will approve ALT1 once that issue is fixed. SL93 (talk) 19:36, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

SL93, it appears that Tempstent didn't edit at all in June, and their class seems to have ended at the end of May, like other Australian university classes that have had projects involving Wikipedia. Their tutor, Ajcwritwiki, has been similarly absent since the end of May, so I don't think we can count on input from them either. Perhaps give it a week? Or maybe the related WikiProject might be interested? BlueMoonset (talk) 19:44, 1 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@SL93: I just fixed that 19th reference. Was easy enough to find. --LordPeterII (talk) 11:30, 6 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 01:18, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
