 * Symbol confirmed.svg New enough (promoted from draft on day of submission), long enough (just under 2,000 characters), within policy and free of copyright violations, QPQ is done, and there is no image. There was one issue - that the hook wasn't cited - but I saw which source it was and fixed the issue. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 03:40, 17 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol question.svg Can someone more experienced with close paraphrasing take a look, please? There are sentences that look quite similar to those in Ref.#5 (foresthistory.org). I'm not sure if it's too similar to be a problem. Thanks. BTW, I think the hook would be better to show the name of the company at the time of the construction of those landmarks. --PFHLai (talk) 13:34, 17 October 2015 (UTC)


 * user:PFHLai: I guess I can see what you're saying, but it looks to me like the author make a conscious effort to avoid paraphrasing and if there is a problem, it's because the author got caught up in how bareboned the source is and that there isn't really a great way to vary up the "X happened on Y date" formula. I'll defer to the second opinion though. The Squirrel Conspiracy (talk) 19:50, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
