Talk:Gutierre de Miranda

Removal of content that paraphrases source too closely and contains false info

Once again I find myself editing text on a page created by prolific editor Isinbill, only to discover, once again, he has added material that skirts the edge of plagiarism or copyright violation by paraphrasing too closely and lifting sentences from a source. Also, he has a habit of misinterpreting or distorting material from his sources, and even adding false information not present in a source he follows too closely otherwise. For example, in the text I've deleted from the article, he says that "...when a tailor demanded his compensation, Miranda cut off his head." whereas his source, the Kislak foundation page, says, "Once, when a tailor demanded his compensation, Miranda had his head placed in the stocks and beat him."

Editors are advised to approach articles created by this user with caution before wasting your time editing material that may be a copyright violation. Carlstak (talk) 15:12, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
