 * Symbol possible vote.svg very concerned with close paraphrasing of some of these sources. On first glance, seems in some places a direct copy. Lord Roem (talk) 20:38, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg you much! I placed a set of new quotation marks, added references where I think appropriate, added a couple of new outbound links for the .gov reform effort, and edited throughout to clarify meaning.Cirrus Editor (talk) 14:32, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg ALT1 hook is passed. Phrasing in article is much better; I think it resolves my concern raised above. Everything else checks out. Also (just a note) nominator has <5 DYK credits so no QPQ needed. Regards, Lord Roem (talk) 15:41, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

It's improved, but I'm not sure that it's improved enough just yet. Compare for example "federal agencies to "get smart" about consolidation, sharing platforms, and computing resources" with "agencies have to "get smart" about consolidation, sharing platforms and computing resources", or "collaborates across government agencies to modernize policies and improve the federal government's ability to manage and deliver online information and services" with "collaborate within and across government to modernize policies and improve the government's ability to deliver online information and services".

 * Symbol redirect vote 4.svg it! I fixed the VonRoekel quotation by adding quotes. The "modernize policies" text I simply rewrote.Cirrus Editor (talk) 01:34, 13 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg From what I can see, you've addressed the paraphrasing concerns. The only other concern I had was the use of external links within the body of the article (discouraged by the Manual of Style), but I've taken the initiative and removed this.

 * Thank you, Moswento. Much appreciated. I added those as external links at the bottom of the page and also cleaned up a leftover.Cirrus Editor (talk) 21:05, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
