Talk:Ynes Mexia

message: Mexican-American, Mexican, or American-Mexican? She was born in the US, being half Mexican, but lived most of her life in Mexico. Wouldn't American-Mexican, or just simply Mexican be more accurate than the current Mexican-American label? Luiz187 04:35, 15 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I do not believe roughly ten years out of almost seventy would be most of Ms. Mexias' life.. But if anyone has any other primary sources to contribute, that would be helpful Orchestra4 (talk) 12:32, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

text: I do not understand the problem with the copyright on this article. I read through all three cited references that were associated with the potential copyright claim and did not see any sort of plagiarism or issue with this article. I don't spend a ton of time on wikipedia so I don't know all the intricacies, but I couldn't even see who raised the issue of copyright or any sort of explanation as to what was wrong? Unless they has been resolved and the copyright banner remains on the page. Long story short I don't see any copyright issue. Barcodeplane (talk) 17:38, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , the plagiarised material is hidden by the copyright banners. Look at the article in edit mode to see the problematic content. Plantdrew (talk) 18:16, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

text: , Thanks for the information. My best understanding here is that this material simply needs to be rewritten to remove the copyright issue then? Barcodeplane (talk) 20:03, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: , yes, it needs to be rewritten. I started to rewrite it when I found one sentence that was plagiarized from one source, but after looking into it further, essentially the entire article was plagiarized from multiple sources. Those sources can be used as references, but the article needs a complete overhaul so that it isn't using the exact phrasing from those sources. Plantdrew (talk) 20:45, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have finished a large overhaul of this page. I removed the Copyvio template because I carefully reviewed each of the 3 articles with copyright violations and reworded a large portion of the text. I used Earwig's Copyvio Detector to ensure that the major violations were removed. I still have some wording to correct to ensure compliance. I also added additional citations and external links. In the near future I will be reviewing print sources from the Further reading section to confirm citations, and hope to add additional sources. Please feel free to edit and refine. Thanks.

replies: text: "Ynés Mexía was born on May 24, 1870 in Washington D.C. to Enrique Mexia, a Mexican diplomat, and Sarah Wilmer Mexía." As remarked three years ago, let's have it all or none (except if we are quoting material directly).  This sentence I have copied has accents on the names of two Americans but not on the one Mexican.  The source for this sentence uses no accents.    I find it a bit strange that the current title has no accents, but the opening of the text has two accents.  2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:F521:9AE7:9382:DE40 (talk) 19:27, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  P.S.:  I just looked at the Spanish article.  It has no accents on then names. 2600:6C67:1C00:5F7E:F521:9AE7:9382:DE40 (talk) 19:29, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
