Date, length (1583 characters), citations all check out. No close paraphrasing to online sources. The image is public domain. The hook is 191 characters. Good to go. PKM (talk) 02:56, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

I am concerned that some of the phrasing used by this article may be too close to that of this source. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:59, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Which phrases do you have in mind? St Anselm (talk) 06:58, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

For example, "arguing that Horne's independence of judgement was threatened by his precarious finances" is verbatim from the source. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, I missed that one. I've added quotation marks. St Anselm (talk) 18:24, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Close paraphrasing issues have been addressed. Good to go. Moswento (talk | contribs) 18:27, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
