Malplaquet House[edit]
- ... that Malplaquet House in Stepney, London, uninhabited for over a century, is "possibly the most superbly restored, privately owned Georgian house in the country"?

Created by Edwardx (talk), Gareth E Kegg (talk), Dr. Blofeld (talk). Nominated by Edwardx (talk) at 12:25, 6 December 2013 (UTC).
Length verified, no copyviolations detected, hook fact cited (at the bottom of referenced on-line article), age verified as well. Ready for DYK status. - AnakngAraw (talk) 02:23, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Unfortunately, there is excessively close paraphrasing that should have been detected during a proper copyvio check (which means, paradoxically, using Duplication Detector to compare against the actual sources used rather than relying on the overpromsing Copyvio Check). Compare "The name, Malplaquet House, is derived from the 1709 Battle of Malplaquet, but it is unclear whether the association comes from the Jewish widow of a merchant who sold war salavage, or from a subsequent resident, Edward Lee, who was a military surgeon." in the article to FN3's "The name comes from the 1709 battle of Malplaquet, but it is not sure if the association comes from the occupation of the widow of a merchant who sold war salavage or from a subsequent tenant, Edward Lee, a retired military surgeon."

- Article - created new on 2 December, so new enough at time of nomination; 2150 characters of readable prose, so long enough; neutral; at least one inline citation to every paragraph; I think the close paraphrasing concerns thrown up by duplication detector are now addressed - I can't access the only book ref to check that though; assessed as start class.
- Hook - within length criteria at 162 characters; correctly formatted; correctly cited/supported by ref #1 in the penultimate paragraph and ref #4 in the final sentence; and interesting.
- QPQ done; no image used.
Seems fine to me now - I will however put a note on BlueMoonset's talk page in case he wants to give it another check over. SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:58, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
