Article is new enough (passed GA six days before nomination), long enough, and well-sourced. Earwig screamed bloody murder, and one site it flagged (womenfitness.net) has a byline stating their article was written by the site's "Editor-in-Chief" so I was a bit wary, but a lot of the material that Earwig flagged was already in our article before the date of the womenfitness.net byline. I was already pretty sure they'd copied from us rather than the other way around (it doesn't seem like a site with pristine journalistic standards), and that seems to cinch it. A spot check showed no further copyvio concerns.

My one very small quibble is that the article seems to be written in American English, which typically uses "modeled" rather than "modelled", so my preference would be for,
