 * Symbol question.svg I'm concerned that some of the phrasing in this article might be too close to that of its sources. Compare for example "As a result, he built up a considerable collection of historical items" with "As a result he built up a considerable collection of historic items".

 * I've fixed the one you pointed out but I couldn't see any other obvious close-phrasing between the article and sources. Regards, Rock drum Ba-dumCrash 17:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I have compared the article to the online sources with the "Duplicate detector" and I consider the article is now acceptable. It has been in limbo too long! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:47, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
