  • Hi, I came by to promote this but the article has quite a bit of close paraphrasing, as does the hook:
  • Source: It all started with the virgin initiative for tea production by the last king of Sikkim in a bid to provide employment to a large number of Tibetan refugees living erstwhile in this region of India.
  • Article: It started with the establishment of the Temi garden by the last king of Sikkim, Palden Dhondup Namgyal, in an attempt to provide employment to a large number of Tibetan refugees living in the region.
  • Source: The first flush of Sikkim Tea, harvested during springtime, has a unique taste and aroma. The refined golden liquor has a light floral finish and a hint of sweet lingering taste.

  • Source: The extract showed significant inhibitory activity against carrageenin, histamine, serotonin and prostaglandin-induced pedal inflammation. The extract inhibited exudative inflammation. The tea extract also inhibited cotton pellet-induced granuloma formation and adjuvant-induced polyarthritis. Black tea extract showed significant inhibition against glucose oxidase-mediated inflammation. The present observations establish the efficacy of this particular variety of black tea, both in the exudative and proliferative forms and as well in the chronic phase of inflammation.

  • I suggest you eliminate the overly promotional description of the product and also don't copy the scientific language. Flowery descriptions of the tea should be put in quotes. Yoninah (talk) 19:35, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • I had noted the flowery language before, but when I ran earwig, I didn’t catch the close paraphrasing. I agree with what was said above. --evrik (talk) 02:38, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Although Dishita Bhowmik was pinged on their talk page on May 2, they haven't responded, perhaps because their most recent edits are April 17 and April 30. However, it has been ten days, and the close paraphrasing is quite serious. Marking this for closure; if the nominator returns before this is closed and is prepared to address the issues in a timely manner, the nomination can remain open.
