Sources review by Cirt

Sources review spotchecks:

1. Reference note (1) confirms the quote from the United States Bill of Rights.
2. Reference note (14) confirms info from the Constitution of Massachusetts.
3. Reference note (27) helpfully provides the reader with a check to the U.S. Supreme Court case Mapp v. Ohio.
4. Reference note (43) gives information regarding the case Smith v. Maryland via the Oyez Project.
5. Reference note (58) confirms material to the Arkansas News Bureau.

• Spot checks done.
• Note: However, I would strongly caution HectorMoffet to go over the entire article with regard to potential problem spots of close paraphrasing, example of a version before I copy edited it is this problem. Compare prior version of sentence that was in article, with this version from the first sentence of the article by the Arkansas News Bureau.

So yes, the spot checks confirm the info, but I found one instance leading me to believe the entire article needs to be gone over with a fine-tooth comb for potential close paraphrasing of sources. — Cirt (talk) 18:11, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Comment I was asked to look in on this article. Please notify me once it's passed the spot check, so I know I'm reviewing something that has a chance of passing. Thanks.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, Wehwalt, per Moonriddengirl, this above issue is now resolved ! :) Please see her comment. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 18:44, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

To be more clear from above: Spot check passed. Sources review done. Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 18:56, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

Note the nominator says he is "demoralised and retired" on his userpage.—indopug (talk) 18:33, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

The nominator has since been blocked indef. — Cirt (talk) 12:25, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Block is still in effect and I see no-one offering to assume the responsibility for this nom -- nor would I expect that necessarily -- so I'll be archiving this shortly. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 15:14, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
