 * Symbol possible vote.svg Dates and expansion both good and hook fact confirmed. Unfortunately there appears to be plagiarism issues as a spot check of another fact found the following:
 * Article: Stan's artwork was inspired by his idol, Alex Raymond, the Flash Gordon artist.[3]
 * Source: Stan's artwork was inspired by his idol, Alex Raymond, the Flash Gordon artist.
 * Rest of article needs to be thoroughly checked before promotion. --Allen3 talk 14:27, 28 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Was a direct quote from the newspaper article - have modified & provided additional reference. Dan arndt (talk) 01:21, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

There is further plagiarism in the article. Another example:
 * Article: "The brothers prepared high-quality bromides (black and white photoprints) of the sample art pages, which Stan hand-tinted using coloured inks."
 * Source: "The brothers prepared high-quality bromides (black & white photoprints) of the sample art pages, which Stan hand-tinted using coloured inks."

Other sentences are far to close to the sources as well. This needs to be vetted closely.--Cúchullain t/ c 21:19, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
