This has already been on the talk page. to see the duplication detector is not as worthy as reading it. the VAST majority of issues there are on a list that needs the names and countries. The rest are in QUOTES. even if we were to take this out it would still pass DYK min. page size as most other stuff is nt copied but originally written and sourced including the hook.
btw- some of the stuff from that software is completely off from what is actually presented.
I have just gone through the whole lot and i can say that software is utter crap. there was only 1 thing to reword (and ive doneit) the rest are lists/quotes explicitly sourced.Lihaas (talk) 20:43, 24 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Has a citation needed tag, two unsourced paragraphs, and a large chunk of text about Ban Ki-moon is uncited (including direct quotations, so it needs a cite). Also has several bare URLs. I still feel uncomfortable with the large quotes. Crisco 1492 (talk) 08:10, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
Done the cite tag, the stuff on ban ki moon is all cited with the ref at the end. (usually add ref name tags when thre are intermediary refs in the middle, but this is not interrupted by another source), doing the refs properly now
Done?Lihaas (talk) 23:23, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
  • It would be better to duplicate the references so that each paragraph has a reference. If someone inserts text, it will appear that it is supported by the reference you've used (even though it isn't) Crisco 1492 (talk) 23:50, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

  • "As is tradition during each session of the General Assembly, Moon drew lots to see which member state would take the helm at the first seat in the General Assembly Chamber. Turkmenistan was chosen, and the other member states would follow according to the English translation of their name, the same order would be followed in the six main committees." is still uncited.

It was the same source as the very next sentenc. but ive done it now.Lihaas (talk) 00:56, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
  • The "very next sentence" was a new paragraph; as I pointed out earlier, the requirement is minimum one in text citation per paragraph. Crisco 1492 (talk) 06:21, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
