  • Two reviews needed: Walt Singer and North African World Series. I'll do one now.
  • North African World Series is new enough, long enough, well-referenced. One QPQ done (one more is needed for this double hook). I like the first hook; hook ref verified. However, the material gleaned from Footnote 1 is very close in language and phrasing:
  • Article: The leading hitter of the series was Lieutenant Walt Singer, manager and first baseman for Casablanca and the only officer in the series. He had five hits, including the only home run in the series, which was the decisive hit in the second game. Singer was a former All-American football player at Syracuse University, and had also played football in the National Football League for the New York Giants.
  • Source: The leading slugger of the series was Lt. Walt Singer, manager and first baseman for Casablanca and the sole officer in the game. He collected five hits, including the only home run in the series. Singer was a former All-American football player at Syracuse and later a professional star with the New York football Giants.
  • Article: Play-by-play of the World Series was broadcast by radio hookup to all American soldiers in the Mediterranean theater,
  • Source: a radio hookup broadcasting a play-by-play description of the game to all soldiers in the Mediterranean theater

  • Walt Singer review: Article is new enough, long enough, well-referenced, no close paraphrasing seen. QPQ done. Hook fact appears in article and hook ref verified. Good to go. Yoninah (talk) 22:44, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
