I see one of the sources seems to be a reverse copyvio - report. I've gone ahead and noted it on the talk page, but it will have to be addressed.⸺(Random)staplers 00:25, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Randomstaplers I just paraphrased and rephrased the wording to help solve the copyvio concerns. It is now about 16%. Let me know if there is anything else I need to address. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 07:33, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @The Cadillac Ranger I believe it's a reverse copyvio - that means that a Wikipedian wrote something, and the source copied it. The copyvio report doesn't distinguish between the two. Maybe there's a better source. ⸺(Random)staplers 07:36, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Randomstaplers, is it this source that has a reverse copyvio? I paraphrased words and changed sentences around and it is around 16% using the copyvio detector as compared to 33%. That Cooperator News source was published in 2016. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 07:48, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- @The Cadillac Ranger You can use who wrote that, or WP:Wikiblame to quickly figure out the diff was first put in. I believe the last time I checked, it was dated before that article, so yes, you have to find a new source to avoid WP:CIRCULAR.⸺(Random)staplers 19:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- WP:CITOGENESIS - you get the idea.⸺(Random)staplers 19:26, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Randomstaplers. I removed that source and replaced it with a source from Time.com. If there is anything else that needs to be addressed, let me know. The Cadillac Ranger (talk) 01:18, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

@The Cadillac Ranger I have User:SuperHamster/CiteUnseen.js and User:Novem Linguae/Scripts/CiteHighlighter enabled on my account. You do have to be careful when using these tools; for example, the latter tool highlights https://census.gov, which is obviously isn't going to be an issue.
From what I can tell, the main issues highlighted are https://unreachednewyork.com/, (which incidentally, is broken, and will very quickly become outdated in the future per WP:ENDURE) and https://thoughtco.com, which is a marginal, but still accepted Wikipedia source. None of these seem to be deal-breakers for the GA, but if you want to get them sorted now, go ahead. I'll finish the GA review Sunday in case anyone else has concerns.⸺(Random)staplers 03:10, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
