Racket Brook[edit]
- ... that anthracite coal was being mined near the mouth of Racket Brook by 1820?

Date and size with in policy, QPQ done, hook is cited inline. The Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows that there are close paraphrasing issues with at least two of the refs. —Vensatry (ping) 18:43, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- @Vensatry: First of all, the "two...refs" in Earwig are really different URLs pointing to the same page. Secondly, the reference is barely even used in the article. Third, there are only a few two or three word bits like "Lackawanna River watershed" and "anthracite industry". The other eight URLs...aren't even used in the article. Earwig is a bit of a crude tool, so one needs to look at more than just the percentages in pretty much all cases. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 18:56, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, I too had this doubt. So you mean to say those sources are mirror sites? —Vensatry (ping) 18:40, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
- No, I'm saying there is no close paraphrasing. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 01:23, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
- Copyvio Detector is an imprecise tool, and in this case it appears to be returning a false positive - I'm not seeing overly close paraphrasing. Nikkimaria (talk) 03:11, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for checking, Nikkimaria. Reviewer needed to finish this review. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:13, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
- ... @Jakob: and its neutral and the length of it and the hook are fine. There is adequate citation and if the hook fact of 1820 had a ref then this would have been gtg. I did look and the ref I found didn't mention the "mouth" of the brook. Victuallers (talk) 13:42, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Victuallers: Anthracite coal was first mined in 1820 along the Lackawanna River near the confluence of Racket Brook by William and Maurice Wurts... from page 326. (The confluence is synonymous to the mouth.) --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 12:44, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
OK I added that ref at the correct place. I know its picky but DYK requires that "hook fact of 1820 had a ref". Done now Victuallers (talk) 13:24, 25 July 2015 (UTC)
