Close paraphrasing

This article was tagged for close paraphrasing of one source; when it came due for closure at copyright problems board, I found close paraphrasing from another, Israel Year Book on Human Rights, Volume 1; Volume 1971. As I'm afraid that it is not possible to tell how extensive the close paraphrasing is, given the print source, and the fact that close paraphrasing comes from at least two sources, a rewrite seems the only way to safely retain the material. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Kaufman

This article has a footnote referring to "Kaufman, 1987, p63". However, the associated title does not appear in the bibliography, and apparently has not done since 2012. The earlier three years of history have all been oversighted, due to copyright violations, so presumably the work was listed there. I don't recognise the work, and have been unable to find any relevant title. If someone is able to view the oversighted material, maybe they can check what title is meant, and add it to the bibliography. If this cannot be done, and nobody is able to identify the work, then the footnote should be removed and replaced with a ref needed template. RolandR (talk) 15:36, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

@RolandR: I postulate that 1987 should be 1997 and the reference is to Ilana Kaufman, Arab National Communism in the Jewish State (Univ. Florida Press). It has stuff about Al Ard on page 63. If your email address has not changed for a long time, look there; otherwise send me wikimail. Zero^talk 04:50, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Thanks Zero, that certainly looks like the source intended. In that case, the reference to the CPI "denouncing" Al-Ard, while technically correct, oversimplifies the response. As soon as I get a chance, I will amend the article accordingly. RolandR (talk) 09:37, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
