 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article is new enough, long enough, and the hook checks out. Copyvio detector found nothing and QPQ not needed.  Taylor Trescott  - my talk + my edits 10:57, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. Mat  ty  .  007  13:43, 29 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol possible vote.svg Unfortunately, this is a textbook example of why Copyvio detector should not be trusted, and why Duplication Detector should be used to spotcheck sources for close paraphrasing. Most of the material taken from Roth's Dartmouth trustee bio has been done with extremely close paraphrasing: almost identical wording, same order, etc. This is even true, and uncited, for the last phrases of the article intro: compare the article's "the co-founder and managing general partner of Interstate Properties, and chairman and chief executive officer of Alexander's" with the source's "He also is co-founder and managing general partner of Interstate Properties and chairman and chief executive officer of Alexander's, Inc." There are also close paraphrasing issues with the New York Times material (Duplication Detector doesn't work with that; I had to read the relevant sentences in the article). I haven't checked the other sources, but they will also need to be scrutinized. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:53, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Given that the scale of the copy and paste, would you recommend withdrawing this, ? Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  08:56, 1 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, I would. Even after a number of edits in the hours subsequent to my last post, Duplication Detector still shows many of the same results as before. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:24, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, I respect your opinion, so would like to withdraw this nomination. Thanks, Mat  ty  .  007  19:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
