James B. Hunt Jr. Library

Much of this article is a very close paraphrase of the library's web site. Although it is sometimes difficult to present purely routine factual material in a significantly different way, , the wording here is too highly parallel.

You must avoid Close paraphrase. I noticed in particular the sections on environment, and the bookbot, but other parts re also problematic. When using a source it is necessary to change not just the words, but the arrangement into sentences and the sequence of ideas.

I understand that this article is part of a class project, Please ask the instructor to review this matter, since the instructor is expected to supervise the academic integrity of the course's work.

It would probably be a good idea to check your group's other articles as well for this problem. DGG ( talk ) 02:32, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for pointing this out. I think paraphrasing is something that I personally still have issues with. Although I did not write the BookBot section, I tried to rewrite some of the sentences that were very close paraphrasing. I hope that section looks a little bit better now. I have final exams coming up though so I may not be able to work on it again until later. --MangoDango (talk) 04:22, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
