This article is about a 1974 album by hard rock band the New York Dolls. It became a popular cult album after it originally sold poorly. Dan56 (talk) 04:48, 9 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Review by blocked editor CGram, sock of Jazzerino

* Oppose I checked one sentence for close paraphrasing and this is what I found:

Article: "Johansen sings with a tough, loud New York accent on 'Who Are the Mystery Girls?'.[13]"

Source: "a tough, loud New York accent".

All of Dan56's FACs need to be diligently checked for copyvios and close paraphrases. CGram (talk) 22:23, 13 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

So, there are two issues here:

Pinging Black Kite: I know you've got an opinion on CGram ... is there an issue here the FAC coords need to be aware of?

Dank, CGram is another sock of Jazzerino, who most recently evaded his block as Britishinvader. Jazzerino/CGram is scrutinizing my activities and hounding my work because I rubbed him (and his socks) the wrong way a while ago. Dan56 (talk) 01:48, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Understood. - Dank (push to talk) 01:54, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

Dan56: close paraphrasing concerns have been brought up in some of your other FACs. Does the source say "a tough, loud New York accent"? If so, you may want to go back and compare the sources against your text for close paraphrasing and accuracy, before the inevitable spotcheck. - Dank (push to talk) 01:42, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I've removed the sentence in question, which was in the section as filler months before I expanded it with more meaningful information from other sources. Dan56 (talk) 01:48, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Since the delegate brought this up, I'm not sure if any comments/review will be of consequence, so I've placed the tag above. Dan56 (talk) 09:57, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The page can't be G7'd after more than one person has edited it, but I can archive it to prevent more discussion. It's been removed from the FAC queue, too. (unwatching) - Dank (push to talk) 10:34, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
