Gotcha. I rewrote the sentences that I cited that source for. Let me know if it should be paraphrased/rewritten further. — Preceding

@
Lbal and
Sammi Brie: thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, There's still problems. Compare these two:
In a forty-minute battle, Confederate Captain Santos Benavides decisively defeated Cortina, killing or capturing many of his soldiers and driving him back into Mexico.
In a forty minute fight on May 22, 1861, however, Confederate Captain Santos Benavides decisively defeated Cortina, killing or capturing several of his men and driving what remained across the river into Mexico.
this is clearly copied from the original with just a few words changed here or there. What you need to be doing is taking the facts from the source and conveying the same information but in your own original words. You can use
Earwig's tool to get an overview, but that's just a convenient tool for doing a scan.

No progress is happening here so I'm marking this as rejected. Any DYK reviewer should feel free to reopen and re-review should
Lbal return in a reasonable amount of time and resolve the
WP:CLOP issue.
