Overall: Plagiarism check reveals phrase "According to historian Ibn Khaldun" is used in several preceding texts. Although the duplication seems coincidental, in an abundance of caution, it probably should be changed. Still, given coincidence of common phrase, good to go.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:45, 22 November 2014 (UTC)
