Overall: Interesting article, good quality and writing! The Earwig results are too high for 3 sources. I understand that most of them are quotes, but there are a bit too many quotes as per MOS:QUOTE and some would be better if rewritten. Some close paraphrases as well. Otherwise all good. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 17:47, 26 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Gobonobo: I see that you rewrote a few sentences, but it didn't bring down the percentages. In fact, Earwig now found 5 sources between 27 and 39% similarity. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 14:39, 7 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you @P199:. I've reworked the article to address close paraphrasing and removed several quotes. At this point, I think Earwig is just picking up the remaining quote and the many proper names. gobonobo ⁺ ^c 08:16, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

for ALT1. Good work. Reviewing the Earwig comparison, I agree that the remaining similarities are related to the remaining quote, some common word combinations, and proper names. -- P 1 9 9 ✉ 13:28, 8 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
