This is an article from a new student editor that I have done a bit of copyediting on. After looking through the main source, I think there is too much close paraphrasing at this time to be suitable for DYK without a major rewrite. --Melburnian (talk) 02:16, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
sigh - yes I see now using the paraphrasing detector. In the spirit of WP:Sofixit I am getting stuck into it now....give me a bit of timeCasliber (talk · contribs) 02:52, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
(groan) - yes a pretty tedious task...I need a break and will come back later. This is doable but a bit of a pain....Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:56, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
Good job, it's definitely not any easy fix. --Melburnian (talk) 06:32, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Alt 1: ... that fewer than 1000 mature plants of the endangered rose mallee (pictured) remain in the wild? (I can't find anything other than the original on-line source that mentions "silver dollar tree" for this species).--Melburnian (talk) 12:51, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
  • OK, I think it's good to go now.--Melburnian (talk) 04:10, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Needs new complete independent review. BlueMoonset (talk) 02:29, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Hook (ALT1): Interesting, short enough, cited. Image is fine
Article: New enough, long enough, referencing looks good. Paraphrasing needs a bit more work, methinks
Summary: A bit more paraphrasing work needed. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 02:33, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
Yeah I figured we might need to - will get onto it soon. Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:36, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
  • I did some and was debating on how much more to do for it to be acceptable. I've been flat out juggling a ton of activities. I will take one last look in the next twelve hours. Casliber (talk · contribs) 07:04, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
  • update - I think I've done enough now. Some bits that are close to the source in wording I can't think of a rephrase that doesn't change the meaning. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:55, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Ready to go. AGF on offline source. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:55, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
