  • Oops, saw this but forgot to answer, sorry, Crow. I'm certainly no master, but here goes anyway: it follows uncomfortably closely, but is probably OK. I simply can't understand why, if the source says "was awarded the Wright, Hockin and Hughes prizes", anyone would write in the article "was awarded the Wright, Hockin and Hughes prizes", and I'd suggest rephrasing that sentence at the very least. But then I think I'd mark this one as clear. Does that help? Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 15:03, 16 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Crow, you do know you could just remove it as copyvio and let the author rephrase it if he/she wants to? (I know you do!) Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 16:55, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, though that seems a significant fact, so is worth a little time to research it. Soon as I bang out some SCV's I'll turn to the longer-effort items. :) CrowCaw 16:58, 18 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Link is a mirror of a previous version of Daniel Fernandes (comedian). I've blanked this as a new article has been written about this person in mainspace, AfC was declined and it's hardly worth a messy histmerge. Hut 8.5 16:06, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
