A fact from Patrick Allen (governor-general) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 9 May 2014 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
I just wiped out about five years of editing history from this article, after discovering that it was substantially a close paraphrase (the editor changed the pronouns and scrambled the paragraph order) from this Jamaica Observer piece (written five months prior to the edit that added the content to this article).
Considering the scope of the coptvio, do we need to have those five years' worth of editing revision deleted? Sven ManguardWha? 21:40, 7 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I propose to take on this review. My initial impression is favourable and I hope to make a detailed reading of the article within the next two days. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:04, 2 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"he instead went to into teaching." - extra word here.
"After over a decade in education, Allen ..." - this is rather an odd way of expressing it, being rather different in meaning to "After a decade in full-time education, B left with no qualifications"!
"In 2005, he was elected to a second five-year term." - I assume this refers to the second of the two offices mentioned in the previous sentence?
"In July 2008, then Governor-General of Jamaica Sir Kenneth O. Hall indicated that he wished to step down due to declining health." - Some commas needed.
Did Allen respond to the controversy generated by his appointment?
The article contains no images. Are there any available?
In general, this is a well-written informative article, and I look forward to promoting it when the above minor comments have been attended to. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:34, 3 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The user who nominated this article at GAN has gone on an extended wikibreak, and despite my sending him an email, has not edited for ten weeks, so I have made the suggested minor changes to the article myself. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:19, 15 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
