Talk:History of the Jews in Maine

Unusual copyright situation
Hi, thanks for tagging and revdel-ing the examples of copyright violations on the draft. The user in question is connected to Documenting Maine Jewry, who currently hosts the document. In a second look at the information, I definitely understand where you are coming from. Because the document was originally part of a project through Bates College, I don't know whether the copyright lies with them or with Documenting Maine Jewry for hosting the document. In any case, should try to avoid copying and pasting large chunks of information from documents like this, as it can often come up as a copyright violation in certain programs that page reviewers use. One of the tools compares the article to websites, looking for instances of the same wording. Additionally, this tool uses TurnItIn, which I believe is used to determine plagarism in academia. Bottom line: try to put it in your own words next time. Bkissin (talk) 16:25, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Looking over the article (Still-in-progress)
, after seeing the situation with History of the Jews in Hull, I wanted to get a few more pairs of eyes on this ongoing draft I'm assisting with. My two worries right now are 1. We (the editors involved) may be relying too much on primary sources, 2. It (like the Hull article) may be too detailed for a Wikipedia audience, and 3. (goes with #2) May need to be split into smaller articles as the draft continues to grow. I'm slightly too close to this, and so I would love some outside help. , you are welcome to take a look at this draft as well and provide feedback. Bkissin (talk) 15:36, 1 April 2021 (UTC)
