  • It's been 2 weeks with no QPQ. I am reminding the nominator now, but if one is not done soon this will have to be closed as rejected. --ThaddeusB (talk) 06:29, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

      • Original review said all was good except QPQ, which has now been provided. --ThaddeusB (talk) 22:01, 9 March 2014 (UTC)
        • There is close paraphrasing in these paragraphs:

• Source: She had suffered minor injuries early in the raid, while helping her father, an ARP post warden, to put out an incendiary bomb in a roof.
• Article: During a 1940 air raid on West Bromwich, while assisting her father, who was an ARP post warden, to put out an incendiary bomb on the roof of a shop, she suffered minor injuries
• Source: She made three such journeys during the height of the raid, and further journeys afterwards.
• Article: She made three such journeys at the height of the raid, and more later.
• Source: Charity subsequently joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force
• Article: Bick subsequently joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force

I'd dispute that the paraphrasing is close or voluminous enough to present a problem, but of course welcome others' views. Note that I recently reverted Yoninah's edits to these clauses, because they significantly changed their meaning {e.g. "helping... to put out an incendiary bomb" -> "attempted to defuse an incendiary bomb").

Just trying to help. Yoninah (talk) 22:49, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

And appreciated; which is why didn't revert you wholesale. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 22:55, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

I took a whack at the three examples above, Andy, revert me if I screwed it up too, but Yoninah, does this fix it for you? Montanabw^(talk) 20:58, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

I thnk I've managed to rephrase the remaining examples suitably. Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 03:34, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
