  • Indicated source with 30% chance of copyvio is in German, Wikipedia article is in English, so I'm gonna go with "no copyvio". Samsara 09:05, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
  • Both articles are new enough, long enough (the Pegasus article just over the minimum) and are within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and paraphrasing issues. The hook is adequately interesting and appropriately sourced. QPQ has been met. Alansohn (talk) 02:26, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
