Hello. Thank you for nominating this article at GAN. Per
WP:GAFAIL #2, I will have to quick fail this nomination as it contains copyright violations. Specifically, there are copyright violations with the
1993 Cornell source. Per
Commons:Hirtle chart, 1993 USA sources that are not governmental works are automatically copyrighted. This
work is from the
National Civic League, which is not affiliated with the USA government. Content from this source was added by you in
2021, meaning this is not a backwards copy. Comparing Dreier 1993 to the Wikipedia article, here are the copied/closely paraphrased sentences that need to be reworded:
These sentences do not pass WP:LIMITED as they have unique phrasing such as "poised", "could not count on", "strong voice" and "turning around". Although there are high percentage matches of Merry 1993 (Washington Post) and Connolly 1998 (Christian Science Monitor), these are properly quoted. While I have not examined the entire article for copyright violations, I believe that all of the prose cited to Dreier 1993 needs to be re-examined for copyvio/close paraphrasing. I hope you are encouraged to work through these issues and renominate this article to GAN.
