Oreste Pucciani edit

  • Article is new and long enough. It is neutral and cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" reports 36.7% and 11.5% similar text in the sources. However, they are special words. Hook is well-formatted and its length is within limit. It is interesting and its fact is cited inline. QPQ was done. Good to go. CeeGee 08:04, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
