Poro Point

 * ... that on 28 July 1903, U.S. Civil Governor William H. Taft declared the land surrounding the lighthouse in Poro Point at a protected reservation?

 * Symbol question.svg Article created within the appropriate timeframe, and at 2,880 characters is large enough. I have major paraphrasing concerns as the phrase "Civil Governor William H. Taft issued Executive Order No. 06 declaring the land surrounding the lighthouse at a radius of 200 meters as a US reservation" in the article is lifted directly from the article sourcing it. – Muboshgu (talk)
 * Done paraphrasing the entire sentence. Thanks!--RioHondo (talk) 02:06, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's better. Given the one instance that I found while merely checking the hook fact, I continued my review by running all sources through duplication detector. The sentences/phrases "On its western side are white cliffs which are very prominent when seen from westward", "rises gradually northwestward to a height of 84 feet", "projects northwestward about", "in 1979 a new concrete tower was built to replace the old lighthouse", "tructure that now dominates the landscape in the", "special economic and freeport zone" (unless this one is a proper noun, which it doesn't seem to be) need to be rewritten. Also, source #7 doesn't seem to support that the station was renamed after "Ernesto Ogbinar" since that name does not appear in the source. – Muboshgu (talk) 13:56, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I just added a supporting ref to source #7. Will rewrite those lines you cited. Thanks! --RioHondo (talk) 07:23, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg Sorry, totally forgot to come back and check on this. My concerns are addressed, so it gets the ole' checkmark. – Muboshgu (talk) 19:04, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
