Michèle Mouton
Created/expanded by Prolog (talk). Self nom at 16:26, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
 * ... that rally driver Michèle Mouton and her all-female team won their class at the 1975 24 Hours of Le Mans?


 * Symbol question.svg Significant expansion achieved from the previous 1.5KB version. Date is fine; citations and sources used are excellent in terms of range and reliability.  Noting especially that it is a BLP, the article is written in an appropriately neutral tone.  I have some concerns about close paraphrasing though – these are some examples:
 * Her parents owned a big property producing roses and jasmine (Source)
 * ...third at the Safari Rally, after driving 13 miles on three wheels. (Source)
 * ...she did not try to beat her male rivals, but to be at their level. She noted that in rallying the time is the most important thing (Source 1) (Source 2)
 * There may be other examples, and several sources are offline so I cannot check. Some work is needed to ensure that sources are not closely paraphrased.   Hassocks  5489 (tickets please!)  10:59, 11 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the review. I have rewritten the first two sentences. The third and fourth are attributed to Mouton in-text and describe her personal account based on her own words. Close paraphrasing is in this case necessary for accurate and fair representation of her views. Prolog (talk) 17:43, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Yes, that's fair enough (counts as indirect speech, and is suitably cited). I have not seen any other examples of unduly close paraphrasing, and have seen enough examples of suitable paraphrasing to satisfy myself.  Thank you for preparing such an interesting article!
