[edit] GA nomination

This article needs a lot more sources, so I put the GA nomination on hold. I tagged most of them with {{fact}}, but it is possible I missed some. Please add the sources before this becomes a good article.--Sefringle 21:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• I have made all the changes you marked and found some new References that supported the information regarding the Michigan State University Libraries, I am still working on fixing the photo of The Special Collections department, problem (the copyright status), I am also trying to find words with in the page that may need to be wiki linked, to give more related information.

After I looked again, I found one more thing I forgot to mark with {{fact}}. But I think I can take the nomination off hold now.--Sefringle 01:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I passed it now. It seems th have met the requirements for a good article now that it is better sourced.--Sefringle 20:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Serious Copyright Issues

Over the last couple days I've found a number of sections of this article that are word-for-word duplications of the text of MSU's website, and I've included links in the edit summaries to the MSU website text (but an example would be the text I removed with this edit that is identical to the entire text here)

I'm not an MSU student and I don't have a library account to their website so I ran into a few password prompts when trying to check other passages against the website. I strongly suggest that editors of this article do additional research to ensure that this article conforms to all wikipedia guidelines regarding copyrights. As I can only assume that MSU holds full rights to all text used on their website, all editors need to make sure that there is no duplication whatsoever in this article. Copy-paste-cite is NOT an appropriate way to build a wikipedia article. -Markeer 14:09, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
