ALT1: ... that in response to helping organize the Flint sit-down strike, Genora Johnson Dollinger was blacklisted and assaulted by members of the Mafia under direction from "corporate leaders"? Source: https://miwf.org/celebrating-women/michigan-womens-hall-of-fame/genora-johnson-dollinger/ As a result of her UAW union activities Genora was severely beaten with a lead pipe while she was asleep in her home in Detroit. It was later revealed by Senator Estes Kefauver’s Investigating Committee that the Mafia, hired by corporate leaders, was responsible for this and other beatings of UAW officials and the shooting of UAW President Walter Reuther and his brother, Victor Reuther.

Hey, this article looks really good so far - well done! However, earwig currently shows a 48.7% similarity score to this source [1]. Could you please fix it and get it to 37% or less and then I will do a full review? :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 20:10, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Thank you for your review! The reason for the (extremely) high similarity score is the large block quote in the middle of the article (which is correctly attributed to the source you're pointing out). I always assumed things like that were 'manually accounted' for when running earwig, and the only way I could really lower the score would be to remove the quote. Unless I'm overlooking another option? I'll take any advice on this issue. Thanks! CaptainAngus (talk) 00:19, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I was initially under that impression and thought it was okay if big quotes are used, but from reviewing DYKs and GAs and having articles I created be reviewed I have learnt that GA/FA/DYK etc standard the quotes need to be cut/trimmed or paraphrased a bit so that they do not go over the threshold. This has kindly been fixed by any editor so the review can now go ahead :) DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:39, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@DaniloDaysOfOurLives: Awesome, thank you again! CaptainAngus (talk) 13:21, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article is new enough and long enough and thus meets eligibility criteria. Now that the quote has been trimmed, there are no copyright issues on earwig and no other issues that I can see. This article is really really good - well done! :) As QPQ has been done and there are no issues, this DYK is good to go. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 02:54, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
