QPQ: - Yes, but you did three articles' worth of reviews, so your next two DYK noms don't need another QPQ.
Overall: epicgenius (talk) 16:13, 16 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Hook updated as per your suggestion. As for plagiarism, the tool finds some word combinations that are the same, including common terms (like "village of Carp" and "city of Ottawa", etc.), but not entire copied sentences. Is that really plagiarism? Let me know if what specifically you want me to rephrase. As for the QPQ, the 3 articles are bundled in 1 DYK, not really possible to review only 1. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 02:19, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- @P199: The copyvios being referred to, were instances such as
- "and much of southeastern Ontario, including mature deciduous and mixed upland forest and mixed and coniferous lowland forest"
- "including two populations of a provincially rare species and substantial populations of several regionally rare"
- These aren't major issues, since it might be hard to reword these fragments. If you can't rephrase these, let me know and i will approve.In regards to the QPQ: I was saying that your next 2 nominations don't need additional QPQ credit. You may reuse the review two more times. That's not a bad thing, quite the opposite. epicgenius (talk) 14:57, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- @Epicgenius: Slight rewording/rephrasing done, but I can't significantly change "mature deciduous and mixed upland forest and mixed and coniferous lowland forest" without changing its meaning. Hopefully this suffices. Thanks. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 19:21, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
- Yes, this looks good. I can't see a way to reword these either, since these are just specialized terms for specific parts of the landscape. epicgenius (talk) 19:25, 20 August 2019 (UTC)
