 * Err- yeah- but the hook (and indeed the line in the article from which it comes) are verbatim copies of what the source says. It should surely be paraphrased? &mdash; fortuna  velut luna  14:59, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
 * usually position and accomplishment are accepted to not be paraphrased, but I changed it. difficult to change "founder" and "public nursing" therefore I hope that is acceptable. Elisa.rolle (talk) 15:03, 8 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Article contains direct copying / close paraphrasing of several other sources, including, possibly others. These should be rephrased, quoted, or removed. Nikkimaria (talk) 13:18, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Alex Shih, please withdrew this DYK.Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:23, 24 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Reminder: this is not a DYK-specific problem and needs to be addressed regardless. Again strongly suggest you review the relevant guidelines and apply them to article-writing. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:30, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Again, copyvio report is UNLIKELY, article is good to go, and DYK would have been as well, but I prefer to withdraw it.Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:38, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * You are mistaken. Automated tools do a poor job of catching close paraphrasing or evaluating sources that are not simple HTML-only pages. For example, compare "She toured Oregon regularly, setting up local groups to aid in the fight against tuberculosis. She promoted the setting up of county health departments in the general cause of better health" with "she toured the state regularly, setting up local groups to aid in the fight against TB...She promoted the setting up of county health departments in the general cause of better health" in this source. While the two are not word-for-word identical, they are obviously too close to be considered properly paraphrased. And this is not an isolated example. The article is by no means good to go, and you need to stop removing the tag flagging the problem. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:49, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Please stop this behaviour, it's unprofessional, and you are using your opinions and your dislikes, while instead you should use proper tools to take a decision. Elisa.rolle (talk) 14:52, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I hold no personal animosity towards you, but am concerned by the obvious problems in the articles you are nominating, which are not compatible with our policies and guidelines around copyvio and paraphrasing. I'm sorry if that feels hurtful to you, but this is a problem you do need to address. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:55, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * proper tools are showing my articles are in line with policies. Enough said. You are not hurting me, I'm simply ignoring you since you decide to behave improperly. All other editors I'm listening to. Elisa.rolle (talk) 15:13, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * As already explained, the tools you're using have limitations that you aren't accounting for, and using that as a basis to edit-war out tags without addressing them is improper. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:18, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
 * the edit war is for sure not on my side, enough said already on this topic. you can find all the reason you want to stop my DYK, my answer will be always the same, withdrawing them and ignoring you Elisa.rolle (talk) 16:43, 24 September 2017 (UTC)
