[edit] Copyright violation

I am not a significant author on this page, but at some time I have made a change, and so it's on my watchlist. I note immediately, from a simple read of the listed source, that:

This article incorporates text from the 1901–1906 Jewish Encyclopedia, a publication now in the public domain.

I would suggest that the on-line Jewish Encyclopaedia site that is the source of the complaint has taken its text from the same source. I hope that helps. Kbthompson 12:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, the paragraph in question does seem to come from the JE 1906 - good catch (although it would be nice if JewishEncyclopedia.com actually footnoted the source of that particular paragraph...).

How does one attribute a single paragraph that is lifted (hint, hint). An example I could use as a model for similar situations in the future would be a great help. Thanks, Egfrank 12:42, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

On that website it provides image views of the original pages, I would cite as Jewish Encyclopaedia (1906) pp. 133-4; I like to put in references as I go, so I'd do as an inline ref. Now we have to wait for an admin? Kbthompson 12:46, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Lets go - I feel much better about an inline citation as well. Once its in place can we just remove the template and the listing? Egfrank 12:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[Conflict]:::There's a fundamental problem with web sites that come to claim 'ownership' of copy right free material. The text is cf, but any comment they provide, and even possibly the images are not! Also, if they don't attribute their source well, then they cause problems like this. Kbthompson 12:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I think the instructions say we can't modify the page, or remove the notice until an admin has reviewed this conversation and accepted what we now say is true. Kbthompson 12:52, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

OK - thanks for handholding me through this. Egfrank 12:59, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
