Dàin do Eimhir

 * ... that Scottish Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean asked Douglas Young to destroy some of the poems in Dàin do Eimhir, now regarded as MacLean's masterpiece?
 * ALT1: ... that after the publication of Dàin do Eimhir by Sorley MacLean, Scottish Gaelic poetry "could never be the same again"?
 * ALT2: ... that Dàin do Eimhir compared the expulsion of Gaelic speakers during the Highland Clearances to Nationalist war crimes during the Spanish Civil War?
 * ALT3: ... that Dàin do Eimhir, by Scottish Gaelic poet Sorley MacLean, compared the Highland Clearances to the Spanish Civil War?
 * Reviewed: Luis Posada Carriles
 * Comment: Some text has been copied from Sorley MacLean, but all of it was written in the last 7 days. I'd rather not nominate the latter article right now, because I am planning to do a GA on it, and there's a lot to say about him not related to this.

 * Please use Template:Copied for the text that was copied, and put the template on the talk pages of both articles. Yoninah (talk) 13:22, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * There's no requirement to use a template for text written by the same person (me) who copied it. Catrìona (talk) 13:25, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The relevant guideline is WP:Copying within Wikipedia. Such cases are often flagged at WP:ERRORS if there's no template. Yoninah (talk) 13:34, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
 * The guideline explicitly states that no template is necessary if copying one's own contributions. In this case, it would be messy to make a template because the content was added over the course of multiple edits, but I've left a notice on the talk page of Dàin do Eimhir explaining that some of my own text was copied. is that acceptable?

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg Yes, you're right, and I learned something new. Ready for full review. Yoninah (talk) 09:37, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Full review: Leaving aside the 1999 characters of copied text from Sorley MacLean, there is 4525 characters of new text, which meets the minimum 1500-character requirement. New enough, long enough, neutrally written, well referenced, no close paraphrasing seen in online sources. I think ALT0 is the best hook; I tweaked the hook, reduced the SEAOFBLUE, and also removed the quotes around "masterpiece". I also added a cite for the "masterpiece" fact in the article. ALT0 hook refs verified and cited inline. QPQ done. ALT0 good to go. Yoninah (talk) 18:51, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
