Misplaced Pages fork

Quick question on 2/16 - you cited the two encyclopedia's below as Wiki Forks. I think that both are not Wiki Forks, as both existed prior to Misplaced Pages and do not mirror (copy exactly) or fork (copy, but change parts of the material of) Misplaced Pages. I did not look at the entry, but stating that either of these sources is a copy of Misplaced Pages is untrue.

Hi Amytecko. I think you misunderstood my edit summary. The problem is that the two sources were invalid, each for its own reason. The Jewish Encyclopedia was published between 1901 and 1906, and is not a reliable source concerning Samaritanism among 21st-century Palestinians. The New World Encyclopedia is a self-described Misplaced Pages fork (look at the next-to-last paragraph of its About page), which means it can't be used as a reliable source either. I hope that helps. — Malik Shabazz /_Stalk 01:48, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
