  • Thanks for writing a page on this interesting person! New enough and long enough. The "positions held" section needs citations for each position. The information in the lead section should also be in the body of the page--the lead should be a summary of the page. The page looks good otherwise.

@Rachel Helps (BYU): Hello, thank you for your review. I have addressed the issues you raised. Please go through the article again. Thank you. God bless.CrossTemple Jay 10:42, 8 December 2017 (UTC)
@Crosstemplejay: The citation you added does not contain all of his positions that you used it as a citation for. Maybe you cited the wrong article? There are several positions listed on his about page but they don't match perfectly with the positions in the section. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 17:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)
@Rachel Helps (BYU): Hello, thank you for your review again. Very sorry for citing the wrong article. I have rectified it now. CrossTemple Jay 09:35, 12 December 2017 (UTC)
@Crosstemplejay: Good to go. The hooks are cited in-line and short enough. I like the first hook and ALT1 best. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:55, 13 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Hi, I came by to promote this, but note that this source is registering an 80% copyvio rate vis a vis the article. Is this article copying the Wikipedia page, and if so, why are you using it as a source? Yoninah (talk) 22:59, 19 December 2017 (UTC)
  • @Yoninah: When I was writing the article initially, I picked some info from it and used it as reference. That was around the 19 November, I just checked the article and saw that much of the content had been updated on 26 November and much of my work on the article had been copied there hence the 80% copyvio. There isnt anything I can do about it since their article was very scanty initially and now it looks just like the one I wrote after they copied a lot from the page on Wikipedia.

  • @Crosstemplejay: I understand. I know of a similar site for Jewish news that copies everything off Wikipedia. Is it possible to stop using this source? Yoninah (talk) 15:02, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Restoring tick per review by Rachel Helps (BYU). Yoninah (talk) 14:38, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
