 * Symbol voting keep.svg Length and history verified (although in the future please make sure you make clear that this was a move to mainspace on the date in question; if I hadn't noticed that I would have failed it). Offline reference accepted GF. Daniel Case (talk) 17:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg There is some overly close paraphrasing in the article. For example:
 * Source: In using an authentic speech signal it is possible to test a hearing aid with all its special features operative. The overall impact of these features can then be viewed just as they would normally affect a speech signal in real life.
 * Article: Using an authentic speech signal to test a hearing aid gives the advantage that the hearing aid can be tested with all its special features operative. The impact of those features can be viewed just as they would normally affect speech in everyday life.
 * Please make sure all instances of close paraphrasing are fixed. Thank you. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:22, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I've edited the instance you highlighted above. Pinging User:Cstokesrees, the author of the article, for further comment. SpinningSpark 18:49, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Spinningspark, thanks. Cstokesrees has not edited a great deal on Wikipedia and further has a highly intermittent editing schedule: based on past patterns, the next edit might not be until well into next year. I'm going to ask Nikkimaria to check to see whether there are additional issues with close paraphrasing, since it's unlikely Cstokesrees will comment in a timely fashion.

 * , I saw your message on Nikki's talk page. I understand your concern about close paraphrasing but I think this article is free of such problems. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 18:39, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
 * I have to disagree, it looks like there are other instances of close paraphrasing here. For example, compare "the clinician to adjust the hearing aid to optimize speech audibility while avoiding loudness discomfort" with "the dispenser to adjust the parameters of a hearing aid to optimize speech audibility while avoiding loudness discomfort".

 * If it's just that one instance, I can probably do something about it, but it sounds like the original author, familiar with the sources, needs to come back to address the issue. I did send an e-mail right before the first ping above. SpinningSpark 17:55, 17 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Spinningspark, since the original author is unlikely to respond at this point, why don't you fix that instance (which was one of the two I'd originally noted, and wanted to see whether Nikkimaria was concerned about once the first was addressed). Then we can ask Nikkimaria whether there are any more places of concern. If there aren't, the nomination proceeds; if there are, then it is rejected. I think that's a reasonable plan of action.

 * Ok, done, and I've expanded the explanation a bit to clarify what is going on. SpinningSpark 12:56, 25 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Because of the holidays I will not be able to access most of the offline sources for at least a week, but I've reviewed the changes made and feel comfortable enough to pass this as AGF. Nikkimaria (talk) 23:01, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
