  • Everything checks out okay here. Article created within time frame, and is impeccably sourced. I'd recommend that the creator submit it as a Good list article candidate as well.--¿3family6 contribs 18:43, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
  • Close paraphrasing. The first cited sentence of the Article reads: "The genocide happened in front of many journalists, diplomats, soldiers, physicians, writers, missionaries, and others." The source reads: "Genocide happened in the presence of journalists, physicians, soldiers, diplomats, missionaries, writers, and teachers." That is plagiarism--close paraphrasing may exist as well. I would appreciate a rewrite of the article to clean up these problems everywhere they exist. Thank you. AbstractIllusions (talk) 21:28, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
    • I ran a copyvio check and didn't find anything significant. The statement which User:AbstractIllusions mentioned above is cleaned up. This is ready for the Main Page.--¿3family6 contribs 16:18, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
