  • Comment: Place a reference immediately after the statement, or set of statements, that it will confirm. Not at the start of a draft. Hoary (talk) 13:35, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: I've marked this as clean of copyvio, but TBH, it probably should be checked again at the next review. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:12, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
  • Comment: Still has copyvios. You must write in your own words. And if you're going to quote a source verbatim, you must clearly mark it as a quote. DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
