David Marchick[edit]

... that former Clinton Administration attorney David Marchick was the first in-house lobbyist at The Carlyle Group, a Washington, D.C. based global asset management firm?

The article is certainly long enough (13,971 character) and underwent a 5x expansion when nominated. The hook is suitably referenced. Spotchecks reveal some evidence of close para-phrasing however: duplication detector with ref #44. The other references I checked all appeared okay. The first paragraph of the Career section is unreferenced; I think that this is intended as a paragraph summarising the contents of those below it, and thus not a problem (Rule D2 excludes among other things: "paragraphs which summarize other cited content.") That said, I've not seen this format before: it's almost a second lead within the article. Harrias ^talk 14:04, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the review and for your post on my talk page. I referenced the first paragraph of the Career section and addressed the close para-phrasing noted above.[1] I didn't find "carlyle group hires its first in-house lobbyist" mentioned in Duplication Detector other than as a source title. If you think other changes are needed, please let me know. Thanks. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 09:28, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay in responding to this. Thanks for your work on resolving the issues; the article now appears to be free of problems, and is good to go. Harrias ^talk 21:23, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

No worries. Thanks for the review and approval. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 05:54, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
