Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Paulo Coelho may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Hello, I'm McGeddon. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Paulo Coelho, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source, so I removed it. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! McGeddon (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Paulo Coelho

Writing sentences like "If one were to speculate, this was done to admit no official guilt..." is inappropriate - Wikipedia is not here to offer its own original speculation about people. The basic, apparent content of "Coelho or his web team occasionally post misattributed inspirational quotes on Facebook and immediately apologise" seems sourceable but trivial, and certainly not worth the misleading section heading of "Plagiarism" in an author article (where the reader would expect it to be about him plagiarising in a book). I doubt this would pass the ten-year test, but by all means add a pared-down paragraph or discuss it on the article talk page. --McGeddon (talk) 17:55, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
