- Looks like there's still a few instances of wording too close to the sources: compare for example the first paragraph of Teaching to this source - the order of the sentences is different, but their presentation is very similar. Nikkimaria (talk) 01:04, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you for reviewing & suggesting changes - I have addressed the wording issue and suggest an ALT hook below, as well.
- ALT 1: ... that WASP pilot Dr. Dora Dougherty Strother was one of two women selected to train and fly the B-29 Superfortress in 1944 in order to prove it was safe for men to fly?--Meghaninmotion (talk) 14:40, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
I don't have access to all of the sources, but from what I can see the paraphrasing issues have been resolved. Nikkimaria (talk) 21:01, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
