(

)

Well-referenced and long enough, but the lead (and hook) reads a little like a copyvio of the 1st source. Consider revising. Axem Titanium (talk) 20:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Huhh? Sentence from first source is "After a short period of severance in 1999, diplomatic relations were re-established on November 17, 2000." And the rest looks nothing like it. It may be that you misread it... --WhiteWriter^speaks 20:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

The first clause that you mentioned was identical and the wording afterward was similar, which triggered alarm bells. I may be being too cautious. I've always gone by the "four words in a row" rule. Axem Titanium (talk) 21:26, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
