Feedback from New Page Review process[edit]

I left the following feedback for the creator/future reviewers while reviewing this article: Thank you for creating the page. I have copy-edited the article thoroughly to trim the direct lines that were taken from the sources and Earwig's tool picked up a pretty high score of copyvio. I'd still advise you to get the article copy-edited at the WP:GOCE, since it is possible to rephrase the prose without having to copy it directly from the supporting source..

Article is new and long enough. Article is well-written and adequately cited. QPQ has been completed. Only pings on Earwigs are from cited quotations. Hook is cited, interesting, and short enough for DYK. Morgan695 (talk) 18:37, 15 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
