Happy new year 2025! Today, pictured on the Main page, Tosca, in memory of her first appearance on stage OTD in 1900, and of principal author Brian Boulton. -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:57, 14 January 2025 (UTC)
Is this close paraphrasing?
I'm working on an article, but I'm really struggling with the phrasing. The source text is Receiving his LL. B. degree at Transylvania University later that same year, he began the practice of law. I've currently come up with He received a LL. B. from the university later in the year, and began a legal practice. (the context of Transylvania and 1833 is established in the prior sentence) but that's still too close. Hog Farm Talk 01:36, 15 January 2025 (UTC)
