[edit]- ... that women's rights advocate Patricia E. Ryan thought she would head the Maine Human Rights Commission for five years, but ended up serving for over three decades?

Created by Yoninah (talk). Self-nominated at 23:30, 1 March 2016 (UTC).
This article gets the go-ahead for the following reasons: it is new enough (created on March 1 by the nominator); it is long enough (3100 of prose); as a biographical article of a living person, it is decidedly neutral and fact-based, and well-cited with inline citations throughout. The encyclopedic tone and use of ten different sources seems to guarantee that the article has not been plagiarized. The hook fact is explicitly cited with three citations to reliable sources. Well done. — AJDS talk 15:43, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. BTW close paraphrasing can be checked using Earwig's or the Duplicate Detector tool in the toolbox to the right of the hook. Yoninah (talk) 20:31, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- For the sake of the record here, let it be noted that a run through Earwig's detector shows that violation is unlikely. I should have been clearer with what I wrote above, by which I meant that I looked at the sources and found that you had thoroughly integrated the 10 sources' facts into the article, thereby creating something original. Again, well done. — AJDS talk 21:51, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
