<!-- This was promoted by Casliber (talk to a prep area queue after having been previously promoted by Panyd and returned to the queue by Rjanag. It was returned to the queue due to concerns about close paraphrasing. That issue needs to be resolved before it gets "promoted" again. --Orlady (talk) 19:00, 15 August 2011 (UTC) ... that the "Street Doctor", who delivers food to the poor of Newark, New Jersey in his van and preaches nonviolence, spent 10 years in prison in solitary confinement?

 * Symbol question.svg Can we get a source for the specific facts stated in the hook? PanydThe muffin is not subtle 18:28, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * See page 3 of ref 1. Also, ref 5. Isn't one reference per paragraph enough?Trilliumz (talk) 23:48, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Yes, it checks out. However, I think somebody over-referenced the article. The lead doesn't have to be referenced if it is just reiterating cited information from the body of the article, and if it isn't it only needs one ref if everything comes from the same source.

 * It's either too many or too few sources. I think that I've reached the Goldilocks point with my latest edit to the article. Alansohn (talk) 12:37, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Symbol possible vote.svg Nikkimaria identified close paraphrasing in the article. See Talk:Earl Best. --Orlady (talk) 19:02, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Attempted to re-write a few spots, but since I don't know where the problem is here, who knows? I thought I made a good faith effort to cite sources, be accurate, and add quotation marks where needed. Does someone else knows how to fix this article? Trilliumz (talk) 23:36, 18 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Also, anyone know the best way to disambiguate "Street Doctor" from the other article with this name? Trilliumz (talk) 02:02, 19 August 2011 (UTC)


 * This nom was indeed promoted but was removed from P4 without anyone here noticing. Please see Wikipedia talk:Did you know. --PFHLai (talk) 03:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg've spent some time with the article, including expanding it a bit and doing some rewording. I think I saw the close paraphrasing that had raised concern, and I believe it's gone now. This would be good to go, except that the "preaches nonviolence" part of the hook is not well sourced. Here's a suggested ALT hook:
