New enough, long enough, QPQ done. Earwig flagged a couple of areas of close paraphrasing. The hooks are too long. --

evrik I have proposed a new, shorter hook below. In regards to paraphrasing, Earwig's Copyvio Detector registers 18% for the main source, Inherit, the highest reading. I'm not sure which areas of close paraphrasing you are specifically concerned with. Would it be possible to list them on the articles talk page and I will most certainly address them?

ALT3:... that one the original occupants of the Bell Cottage, Jane Bell, was convicted of concealing a birth and became the first European woman to be incarcerated on
Rottnest Island?
Either Alt 2 or Alt 3 are okay. The source with the 18% ... it had a number of closely copied passages. Can you rework some of that text? --

evrik I have made a few adjustments and reduced it to 15%. I will do another little rework to reduce it a bit further.

evrik I have tweaked the article a little further to reduce the number to under 10%. Is this satisfactory?
