 * Symbol possible vote.svg The hook fact is not explicitly stated in the article, although it can be deduced from a two-sentence paragraph in the article that has cited both of the article's sources at the end of the paragraph.


 * A check on close paraphrasing also finds several phrases in common with the sources, although these are mostly standard forms for representing titles or achievements and are largely unavoidable. I have reworded the most avoidable of the instances found by re-ordering the achievements listed, which the article had in common with *both* sources.

 * Symbol question.svg The explicit statement and a cited source for it have since been added. The only remaining issue is the duplication, and I'm not sure that's a real issue. Could I have a second opinion, please? Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 02:06, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't really complain about copying phrases like "Texas state champion in the high jump", and many of them are stock descriptions of achievements, like "Most Outstanding Player at the NCAA Division I championship". But there are several quite long phrases that are word-for-word matches:
 * "final round with 101 total points scored 90 kills 8 blocks 3 aces"
 * "started the first six matches of the FIVB world grand prix "
 * "most outstanding player at the NCAA division i volleyball championship"
 * "finished fifth in scoring at the FIVB world championship "
 * All from . Paraphrasing from the other two sources looks OK. All this from the duplication detector. So I think those, at least, should be fixed. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 04:16, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
