Lev Lunts edit
- ... that Russian writer Lev Lunts proposed the name and wrote the manifesto for the famous Serapion Brothers literary group before he died young?

It has close paraphrasing issues. The entire first paragraph is a close paraphrase of the source:
- Article: "Lunts was born in Saint Petersburg into a wealthy family. He was given a Jewish education in his childhood. He studied at Petrograd University from 1918 to 1922. He stayed on at the University after graduating to teach Spanish and French (he knew eight or nine languages)."
- Source: [Lunts] was born in St. Petersburg to an affluent family and received a Jewish education in his childhood. He studied at Petrograd University in 1918-1922, staying on to do graduate work and to teach Spanish and French (Lunts knew eight or nine languages).
The rest of the article is pretty much the same and closely follows the style and structure of the source. Have linked Google Book in article. Length, date okay. Froggerlaura (talk) 04:48, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
- I've significantly reworded the article, and expanded it a little bit. The sources are few and short, and we can't go too much far away from them unless we bring new sources. But I believe the reword made by me is enough. Is it? GreyHood Talk 20:20, 12 November 2011 (UTC)
Close paraphrasing is fixed now. The image is PD. Added additional source. Everything is good to go. Froggerlaura (talk) 03:28, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
