Jenkins in 1901

... that George Jenkins (pictured) was described in 1901 as "the happiest, proudest, most important and most worried individual" in Australia, but 90 years later as "a lazy, dictatorial, unctuous opportunist"? Source: Both quoted in https://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/jenkins-sir-george-henry-28235

Length, date, hook, image, qpq, close paraphrase checks out. --Soman (talk) 00:33, 21 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
@ITBF and Soman: there's close paraphrasing in this article which should be resolved before promotion.--Laun chba ller 15:57, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
- I'm looking at the Earwig tool. There is the wording " which was widely seen as a promotion" which could be too close paraphrase, but otherwise seems ok. --Soman (talk) 16:30, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I was also thinking "1887, Jenkins married Caroline Kent" and "He died in Colombo on 18 July 1911".--Laun chba ller 16:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
