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)

Hog Farm those are the hardest kinds of basic facts to rewrite in our own words! How about

On April 30, 1833, he resigned from the military and enrolled in Transylvania University, to study law. After receiving a Bachelor of Laws degree, he started a law practice that same year.

(I had to look back at the article to understand how he did that so fast, and see that he already had been at West Point.) I also noticed:

and his father was John J. Crittenden, who was an influential politican who was governor of Kentucky in the late 1840s and early 1850s, was the United States Attorney General in the administrations of Presidents William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, and a United States Senator.

might be

and his father was John J. Crittenden, an influential politician (note typo), governor of Kentucky in the late 1840s and early 1850s, United States Attorney General in the administrations of Presidents William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor, and a United States Senator.
