Untitled[edit]

This looks like copyvio from this NYT article. If so, it can't be kept. See WP:COPYRIGHT. -- Scientizzle 17:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here's someone's copy of the article in case you don't want to or have a login at NYT: [1]. -- Scientizzle 17:15, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio addressed with rewrite. -- Scientizzle 18:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help reformat photo[edit]

i uploaded the photo Image:SophieMaslow.JPG. i didn't think it was an odd size or shape, but it's not staying flush right on the page. when i put it in as a thumbail, (which i would prefer so the caption shows up) the thumbnail box appears larger than the photo itself so there's lots of empty space surrounding. if anyone can sort it out, i'd appreciate it. the photo,as it is, throws off the page format and looks lousy.

i removed the photo temporarily. it looks too bad floating mid-page. when i figure it out, or reformat and re-upload, i will add it back. J. Van Meter 11:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Don't use book "Encyclopedia of Jewish American Popular Culture" as a reference[edit]

Just a heads up and for future reference about the book Encyclopedia of Jewish American Popular Culture by Jack R. Fischel:

The Sophie Maslow biography/section on page 85 of this book seems to be at least partially copied or referenced from the Wikipedia article at that time. The book says it was "First published in 2009", and you can check here and see that some of the same sentences were word-for-word copied from this Wikipedia article, which contains those same sentences as far back as 2007. I'm not saying they got the information from Wikipedia, but whatever source they used for the info was at least partially copied from Wikipedia.

(Unless I'm somehow mistaken) -- I just wanted to warn editors away from using this source, since it's unreliable to use as a reference per Wiki standards. - Whisperjanes (talk) 00:16, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The only other possibility is that this book was copying another reference word for word for some of its sentences, and that this wiki article did the same thing separately. Still, if this is the case, I don't think the book is very reliable regardless if it's copying other writing. - Whisperjanes (talk) 00:20, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
