Williams–Mystic
Hello, and thanks for your contributions to this article. I notice that large chunks of it are being pulled from the http://mystic.williams.edu site verbatim, but with small changes ("we" to "the program", etc.) to the prose. This is generally not allowed, as it is considered plagiarism. Content in Wikipedia must not be verbatim copies of copyrighted text, as we license all content under a free license; obviously if the content was copyrighted to begin with, we can't then go giving it away. Please read the above link, as well as the copyright policy and replace the web-site text with your own paraphrasing of it. Otherwise, even with a source listed, it will have to all be removed as a copyright violation. Electric Wombat (talk) 22:44, 15 July 2014 (UTC)
