::::*The problem with the duplications is that almost all of the larger (>10 words) paraphrasing is from the Distinguishing anatomical features section, which is very hard to change from what it is in the source. Anyway, from what I am accustomed with, ''Ocepeia'' is already expanded enough to be a new DYK without the anatomical features section. However, I will try to change the anatomical features section as much as I can. [[User:Reid,iain james|IJReid]] ([[User talk:Reid,iain james|talk]]) 02:35, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

Ocepeia

Illustration of the head of Ocepeia

  • ALT1:... that Ocepeia (pictured), is currently the oldest afrotherian mammal known from a skull, and lived about 60 million years ago?
  • Comment: A few other possible images could be used instead, if a reviewer would think they would be more suitable, see Category:Ocepeia for the selection. IJReid (talk) 04:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Created by Reid,iain james (talk), Animalparty (talk). Nominated by Reid,iain james (talk) at 04:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol possible vote.svg The text of the description section is much to close to the reference section for me to be comfortable with it. Bluemoonset should possibly take a look at it to see how the opensource rules mesh with the copyvio rules. I have pinged him/her.--Kevmin § 00:55, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
  • What part of the section is paraphrased? If it was the beginning or cranium section, it was probably added by Animalparty. If in the dentition, it might be easy to fix it, while making it easier to understand. IJReid (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
  • The problem with the duplications is that almost all of the larger (>10 words) paraphrasing is from the Distinguishing anatomical features section, which is very hard to change from what it is in the source. Anyway, from what I am accustomed with, Ocepeia is already expanded enough to be a new DYK without the anatomical features section. However, I will try to change the anatomical features section as much as I can. IJReid (talk) 02:35, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
  • IJReid, since the source is CC-licensed, an alternative option would be to include an attribution template from this list to clarify that some of the content here is quite close to that source; you're correct that there is enough original content cited to other sources to pass DYK, once this issue is cleared up (and assuming Kevmin is satisfied that none of the non-free sources are too closely paraphrased?) Nikkimaria (talk) 23:38, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
  • Actually, the section was recently altered by me to fix the paraphrasing issue. It might not be enough, but now it will be much easier to change accordingly. Could Kevmin please check over it now? IJReid (talk) 02:36, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
