  • Made a few improvements. Andrevan@ 20:01, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
  • @Andrevan: Thanks for making the sourcing improvements. However, there are still a few more close paraphrasing issues to resolve. I would not mind if these sentences were in quotes, but these phrases are copied without quotes or attribution, and that's what I'm concerned about. epicgenius (talk) 23:34, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
  • They weren't copied per se, they're just simple English constructions that ended up matching some of the sources. I independently composed the sentence "He had six children from three marriages" without realizing it also was written in one of the sources. Anyway, I have done some editing so that the copyvio detector isn't coming up with any more matches. Andrevan@ 01:40, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
  • In that case, I apologize for my confusion. Sometimes, the sentences or phrases will match each other even though they aren't related. Anyway, this article is good to go now. epicgenius (talk) 16:04, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
  • No worries, thanks! Andrevan@ 18:16, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
