Improved to Good Article status by David Eppstein (talk). Self-nominated at 00:20, 8 July 2021 (UTC).
Article is new as improved to GA-status, i, is long enough and neutral. It cites sources inline. "Earwig's Copyvio Detector" complaints a moderate rate (32.0%) of text similarity found in the lede. I guess a rewording is necessary. Someone with more knowledge can comment. The hook is well-formatted and interesting. Its length is within limit. It is accurate with inline reference QPQ was done. Approval will follow when the issue with the lede is cleared. CeeGee 09:01, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
- @CeeGee: The Earwig hits are from some web content-scraper that got the content from us. I don't suggest you click on that dubious link to verify it, but instead just look at the text in the "source" window of the Earwig report: it is a spammy concatenation of unrelated text, there only to make a spammy page get hits. Rewording is not necessary. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:22, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Good to go after following the recommendation of David Eppstein. CeeGee 08:14, 13 July 2021 (UTC)
