 * Okay, I'm back:
 * @Smaller galaxy: The source given doesn't seem to back up the claim, though http://chandra.harvard.edu/photo/2011/arp147/ does.
 * In terms of close paraphrasing, the only problematic phrases look to be "does not appear to be a part of any significant galaxy group" and "The most intense period of star formation ended 15 million years ago" . Any chance that more different wording exists? They are pretty mechanical phrases, and my tired mind can't immediately think of any better wording.

 * I switched out the references. I tend to think rather "clinically" so it's difficult for me to come up with different phrasing, especially since the wording expresses the point exactly. I don't know of any other way to convey "does not appear to be a part of any significant galaxy group" without imparting vagueries and since that's just a single line, by my understanding of policy, there's no real copy vio problem. I could simply remove the word "a" without losing any meaning (?). I've changed the other sentence in question. Coinmanj (talk) 06:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Well, my concerns are addressed, so this passes. Chris857 (talk) 15:16, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
