Centripetal Spring Armchair

Created/expanded by Sandstein (talk). Self nom at 21:18, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

  • 16px Date and length check out as well as the ref for the incredibly fun hook. The only thing that makes me a little uncomfortable is that the sentence with the fact for the hook seems to be closely paraphrased from the source. the article states "international reaction to the chair was negative: it was deemed immoral because it was too comfortable," while the ref says "International reaction to the chair, however, was negative. It was so comfortable that people deemed it immoral." all of the words are exactly the same just in a slightly different order which can still be a copyright issue. Fix this and the hook is good to go.--Found5dollar (talk) 04:12, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Changed to "the chair had little success outside the USA", although frankly there are only so many ways one can rephrase a fact from a source without potentially changing its meaning. This slightly paranoid attitude to plagiarism is what makes me wary of the "close paraphrasing" approach: as long as the source is properly attributed, I would rather err on the side of matching its phrasing more closely than not, because I consider verifiability more important than originality.  Sandstein  06:45, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
