• @Lynngol: Please post the links for two QPQs, or this may be closed as incomplete. Thanks, Z1720 (talk) 03:33, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Thank you. Since I am new to this, perhaps you can guide me. I took a look at the open DYKs and selected one, so far, that I would review: Template:Did you know nominations/Aihole Jain cave, but I am not sure how to indicate that on the page or begin the process. Also, if a page already has one DYK review, should I also review it? Lynngol (talk) 07:32, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
  • Figured out how to do a QPQ. Here is the first one: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template%3ADid_you_know_nominations%2FD%C3%A1niel_Karsai&action=editLynngol (talk) 13:48, 3 September 2026 (UTC)
    • @Z1720: Just as a note, Lynngol does not need any QPQs, they only have 2 past nominations. Lynngol doesn't even have 47 template edits, so I'm not sure why the nomination script said they needed QPQs. Apparently this nomination was originally flawed, and it took the QPQ count for Mandarax, who fixed the nomination. Epicgenius (talk) 18:14, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
    • @Lynngol: No worries, you can save these DYK reviews for a future date. Epicgenius (talk) 18:13, 9 September 2026 (UTC)
• Full review needed now that QPQ question has been settled. BlueMoonset (talk) 20:46, 25 September 2026 (UTC)

Mitigate close paraphrasing

Hi @Lynngol, thanks for writing about an interesting person! Can you take a look at this comparison and Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing? It looks like some of the phrasing and ordering of material is fairly close to the cited Black Past article. This can be mitigated - for example, you can rewrite parts more in your own words and enrich it with more of the material from other cited sources. Thank you!

Many thanks for your comment. I made as many changes as I could to the article. It seems to me that most of the remaining items that come up are names ( which I can't change) and quotes (which are attributed and listed in quotations and italics). If you think there is something else that I can do, please let me know. Lynngol (talk) 08:44, 6 September 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! Agree, even if direct quotes and names of things are flagged as matching, they are not relevant to close paraphrasing. Dreamyshade (talk) 18:54, 6 September 2026 (UTC)
