• @Buidhe: Thanks for the review. I have reworded a few instances that were close to the sources, and I'd appreciate if you could point out any other phrases that you feel are problematic. 97198 (talk) 08:59, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

• "to prepare for life in the Middle East", "intelligence information from her father" and "Jews and intellectuals out of Germany to Prague on the back of her motorcycle" are all very close to the NYT source. See the earwig report. buidhe 09:03, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Buidhe: I have done some more wordsmithing. Unfortunately there are only so many ways to say "transporting Jews and intellectuals out of Germany" and "on the back of her motorcycle". 97198 (talk) 11:39, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

• 97198, I have fixed the article but the hooks still have be rewritten to get rid of the close paraphrasing. buidhe 18:52, 19 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Buidhe: Thank you, and sorry for the delayed reply. I have added ALT0a and ALT1a above. 97198 (talk) 14:34, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• Approve both ALT0a and ALT1a; the former is preferred because it is more concise and focuses on Paasche's own achievements. buidhe 14:37, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
