Benny Blanco Bio

i read that he said that he is Puerto Rican and Colombian descent somewhere and not Jewish and if he is Jewish then has he done bar mitzvah's recently or celebrates Hanukkah and is there any proof that his family is Jewish because like I said I looked into Google and it says otherwise so do your homework first before assuming that he's Jewish if that's all the proof that you have. CapCage11 (talk) 00:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Please add a reference to substantiate that. An article about him that states that, for example. Google is not a reliable source. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 04:53, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Here's a question: Where do you get your reliable source that he's Jewish? CapCage11 (talk) 07:14, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

There’s a reference immediately after the word “Jewish” to support it. There are plenty of other sources as well. For example, https://jewishunpacked.com/everything-we-know-about-benny-blancos-jewish-identity/. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 07:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

If you want to discuss this further, the proper place is the talk page for the article, not here. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 07:30, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

Copyvio

Thanks for your contribution in Zionism as settler colonialism article, but i wonder if you have idea where exactly did the copyvio exist ? CFA didn’t specify, can using five same words amount to copyvio ? Stephan rostie (talk) 17:40, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

See the paragraph that was deleted in Special:Diff/1235353580 starting with “The first application…” and compare it to the first paragraph in [1]. It starts with close paraphrasing then has some blatant copies, e.g. the sentence beginning “A series of scholars—among them Said, Sayegh, Rodinson, Jabbour, Abu-Lughod and Abu-Laban, Hilal, El-Messiri, and Sayigh—have all employed the framework…” — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:27, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

The copyvio tool doesn’t work on that source—the main text isn’t picked up by the tool. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 18:28, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

then has some blatant copies, e.g. the sentence beginning “A series of scholars—among them Said, Sayegh, Rodinson, Jabbour, Abu-Lughod and Abu-Laban, Hilal, El-Messiri, and Sayigh—have all employed the framework…”

this sentence was in the note not the main text, and is supposed to be quoting from the source, does that count as copyvio ? Stephan rostie (talk) 18:52, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
