• If it is a copyright problem, list it on Wikipedia:Copyright problems, not here. -- Infrogmation 21:11, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• First of all, it's not copied and pasted. It has been edited by me. Second of all, it is not a copyright problem. The Jewishencyclopedia.com is public domain. Remove this page from this list ASAP and please pay attention to public domain/copyright distinction (and Wikipedia policies) in the future). --Briangotts 02:58, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • The text (which has been modified) comes from a work whose copyright expired something on the order of 20 or 30 years ago (1905 Jewish Encyclopedia). The operators of Jewishencyclopedia.com may post a notice to whatever effect they wish, but that does not give the notice legal effect. The text is public domain and may be reused and/or modified. --Briangotts 15:13, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's not a copyright problem, since the copyright on the 1906 Jewish Encyclopedia expired long ago. Many articles on Wikipedia are based in whole or part on articles from the Jewish Encyclopedia. We even have a template for it, {{JewishEncyclopedia}}. Jayjg ^(talk) 17:35, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Inappropriate Vfd recommendation from inexperienced user. --Dzimmer6 21:26, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, encyclopedic topic, PD source. Antandrus 05:08, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
