Overall: @Bahnfrend:, Great work on this article, well sourced, and quite a fascinating article at that. Earwig's copyvio detector says 50% copied, but that was mostly a long quote that was in quotations that was sourced. If possible, can you reword "By 2012 Gusmao had become aware of the bugging and initiated confidential proceedings in the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague, seeking to have CMATS declared void because Australia had acted in bad faith by spying during the negotiations.", as this is near-identical to the source, probably unintentionally. Let me know when you finish your QPQ and changing that sentence and it should be all set. Wishing the best and you got this! Ornithoptera (talk) 01:53, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
@Ornithoptera: Thanks for your review. I have now done a QPQ. I have also modified the relevant passages. Earwig now says 47%, and that is perhaps not much of a reduction. But as you say, a relatively short passage expressly quoted from a cited source is not plagiarism or a copy vio; and in my view it is similarly not plagiarism or a copyvio to use, in an initial reference in an article, a full name and description of a place such as "Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague" or "United Nations in New York". The 47% includes both of those passages, plus some similar ones, plus the quoted, cited passage. I therefore think the article is now ok. Bahnfrend (talk) 09:52, 31 January 2022 (UTC)
@Bahnfrend and Bahnfrend: Looks good, but do we want to add a bit to the hook text to clarify that the guy was a major colonialist? The irony may be left as an exercise for the reader. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:35, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
@Orangemike: That's a reasonable suggestion. There are two potential problems, however. One is that the hook may be too long if too much further info is added. The other is that the subject article does not contain the suggested additional information, and the separate article about the Prince is not very well referenced. If you're prepared to accept some limited additional material that's included in the latter article without any specific referencing (but hardly controversial), then I would suggest this hook (using the same image):
