Talk:Whitby/GA1

Nearly there! Sorry this is being dragged out, though this should be the final hurdle. On checking sources I encountered two examples of close paraphrasing. There may be other examples of remaining too close to sources within the article. I cannot list as a Good Article until this has been addressed, so I have put on hold until the article has been checked and any close paraphrasing has been dealt with. Let me know when you're ready, and I'll do another sources check, and if that is OK, I'll be able to list. Any remaining issues I should be able to tidy up or ignore as they are fairly minor and part of ongoing development. I won't be available until next week as I'm in Eastbourne this weekend, taking part in the Beachy Head marathon. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 15:33, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I'm a little bit busy with real life until Sunday, but will look at it then.--Harkey (talk) 20:06, 20 October 2011 (UTC)

Some good work has been done by J3Mrs. I'd now like to list it, but it needs to be thoroughly checked for copyvio. I looked at another source today and found another example of copy and paste editing. It may just be confined to the Economics section, but it would be of benefit to check the rest of the article. I'm putting the GAN on hold for another week to allow people time to check for and clean up the copyvios. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 14:27, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll have a good look. I'm becoming almost paranoid about finding copyvios on Wikipedia to the extent that I copy lines from articles into the search box on google to find the sources. Some are repeated again and again on different sites.--Harkey (talk) 18:36, 25 October 2011 (UTC)

This user helped promote Whitby to good article status.

Good work - well done. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 21:38, 28 October 2011 (UTC)

I'm glad we got there, a genuine joint effort and a pleasure to work with you and Keith.--J3Mrs (talk) 12:36, 29 October 2011 (UTC)
