I saw this in a couple of discussions around the web (not OUR forums)--they had looked at the very first sentence of the daily featured article, then saw that that first sentence was identical to the Wikipedia article, and then assumed that we had not changed the rest of the article.
Suggestion: Could the person(s) choosing the featured article make an effort to revise the first sentence, even if trivially? (Though it often could be improved over the Wikipedia one) This might help differentiate CZ. I've been watching intermittently for a couple of weeks, and the majority of the features did seem to start with an identical first sentence. In today's Prime Number, for example, we could just remove the work namely, but I also think the definition in that first sentence, as it stands, could be stated more simply. I didn't just go edit it because I'm trying to make a point here. :-) -- Pat G.
