Hello, Shoread0, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:48, 11 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

Hi! You could check by using this detector, however another way of checking is to use Google. If you know which specific sentence or section they have, you can put that sentence (or sentences) in a google search. This can often bring up the exact search results. Another option is, of course, to look in the book itself. If you have it relatively handy, this may be an easier way of doing it or at least a more beneficial way, as you can also check the source to see if there's anything else that could be useful to add.

I'd posted this on my user page but something else I thought to add - if the source is in another language then it may be harder to search since the link I provided will only work with the English language Wikipedia and (I believe) sources. You could probably still search in Google but you'd have to be able to translate the source into the specific language and read the search results.
