 * I'm concerned that large sections of this article are nearly identical to this source, which predates the creation of the article. Compare for example "When Gibraltar was captured by Ferdinand IV of Castile, in 1309, he gave orders that a galley house be built on the beach where the ships of his navy could find shelter and be repaired" with "When Gibraltar was captured by Ferdinand IV of Castille in 1309, he gave orders that a galley house should be built on the beach where the ships of his navy could find shelter and be repaired".

 * I visited Gibraltar and met the owner of DiscoverGibraltar web site and he intends to authorise the use of the copy pastes made on this article (and a whole lot more!) by Gibmetal77 (and referenced!). Gibmetal77 is aware of these conversations. We have a timing problem here in that not all this is documented properly. However can I confirm that there is no theft taking place here. Obviously, we need to make this more obvious. I think we can resolve this in a few days. Victuallers (talk) 08:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol redirect vote4.png The issue has now been addressed. Thanks. --Gibmetal 77 talk 2 me 20:50, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * The copypaste tag's been removed, but I'm not seeing the permission notice on talk or the attribution on the article itself? Nikkimaria (talk) 21:42, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Icon denotes that this is still an outstanding issue, and needs to be resolved before the nomination can be promoted. BlueMoonset (talk) 13:28, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Per my talk the permission has been added to the source itself, but we still need the copy attribution in the article, per here. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:31, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I've added the CC-BY-SA template to the article's talk page, is this sufficient? Thanks, --Gibmetal 77 talk 2 me 15:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. How much of the material in the article is copied or closely paraphrased from that site? Nikkimaria (talk) 14:11, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not enough to undermine the 1500 chars of original text if that is what you are thinking. The material from that discovergibralter site is all cited. Victuallers (talk) 14:28, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Okay. Attribution isn't ideal, but good enough. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:31, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
