I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:02, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I ran Earwig and it found some overlaps; this article was only created a couple of months ago so I don't think they can be backwards copies. Here are some spotchecks based on what Earwig is showing, plus some additional spotchecks. Footnote numbers refer to this version.

FN 5 cites "The new chapel was intended to serve people from all faiths and remains a centerpiece of the Syracuse University campus." Verified; Earwig says this comes from this page which was written in 2016, and has almost identical wording.
FN 13 cites "The chapel was built with the goal of it becoming "the heart of the campus", with the principle of providing a complete religious program for the university's students. The first student services were held on September 21, 1930." The source is pocketsights.com; it's not clear to me that this is a reliable source, but that's a separate issue. Searching for the word "heart" doesn't find the quote on that page and I can't see text to support the rest of the sentence either.
FN 9 cites "In 1999, a two-phase renovation began, which included the main office suite and the Noble Room. The Noble Room was equipped with new furnishings, a large screen projection system, internet access, a small stage area with lighting and also now equipped to display works of art." The source has "In 1999, a two phase renovation began which included the main office suite as well as the Noble Room. The Noble Room was equipped with new furnishings, a large screen projection system including internet access. A small stage area with lighting was created for lectures and performances. The room is also now equipped to display works of art." This is almost identical wording.
FNs 13 & 16 cite "At the time of its construction, Hendricks was the third largest University chapel in the country, seating 1,450." One source has "Seating 1,450 Hendricks was the third largest University chapel in the country at the time of its construction. The pulpit was the gift of the Class of 1918." Again almost identical wording. I quote the last sentence because that also appears in the article verbatim.

I'm going to fail this based on these spotchecks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 16:28, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
