Plagiarism? edit

The "Mythology" section is copied essentially word-for-word from Bulfinch's Mythology. I can add it in as a source but I'm not sure it solves the plagiarism issue. Orientalduck98 (talk) 07:37, 22 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

In theory Bulfinch's Mythology is now in the public domain and can be freely copied (for Wikipedia purposes, this would require clear attribution). But it's generally better to write our own text, directly quoting only where necessary, with sources cited for factual claims but not copied wholesale. –jacobolus (t) 00:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Should this be merged with Talos (inventor)? edit

This article and Talos (inventor) seem to be describing the same mythical character. –jacobolus (t) 23:14, 22 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
