I removed a number of dead links from this page and replaced the links with live links and sources. Wikipoetics125 (talk) 22:10, 31 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, you copied text word-for-word. In you latest edits, you removed: "On June 28, 1953, Burgos left the home of a relative in Brooklyn, where she had been residing. She disappeared without leaving a clue as to where she went." Why? I reverted your latest edits. I checked one of the new sources you added and it did not support the text. Please stop your disruptive editing. Magnolia677 (talk) 10:42, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Yes, I removed the sentence "On June 28, 1953, Burgos left the home of a relative in Brooklyn, where she had been residing. She disappeared without leaving a clue as to where she went" because there is no source to support this. The note that was listed there, a blog post, does not actually say this.

I have absolutely no intention of being disruptive. I am a great admirer of Julia de Burgos's work and I am simply trying to improve the page by contributing to it. Can you tell me why you also removed the External Links to the biography "Becoming Julia de Burgos: The Making of a Puerto Rican Icon." Is it not appropriate to add links to published books?

I am new to Wikipedia editing and this is only the second page that I have contributed to. I'm just trying to improve the quality of the page.

Thanks. Wikipoetics125 (talk) 12:07, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have a concern about references #3 and #10. Neither of these links take you to content on Julia de Burgos.

I also have a concern about "On June 28, 1953, Burgos left the home of a relative in Brooklyn, where she had been residing. She disappeared without leaving a clue as to where she went". It is not supported by the reference. A source is needed here.

There has been a lot of excellent research on this writer. I'm concerned about the lack of sources and the inaccuracies on this page. She is one of Puerto Rico's most important poets. She deserves to have a more robust presence on this site. Wikipoetics125 (talk) 15:39, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! ~ lovkal (talk) 18:38, 1 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Lovkal, thanks for your message. The material I added to small axe was not under copyright, although I did copy and paste it from a Word document that I created with the changes. I did include some quotes which are from the website and I added a source, but I understand if that isn't allowed. I'm still learning. Thank you!

Inline tags[edit]

Thank you for identifying text at Julia de Burgos requiring greater verification. I have removed the extraneous text you added to identify such text.

Typically, a template in the form of a "tag" is used for problematic text. For example, text that is unsourced or poorly sourced could be tagged using "{{Citation needed|reason=Your explanation here|date=August 2022}}". This would automatically convert to a "citation needed" tag when your edit is saved. Please see WP:CITENEED, Template:Citation needed, and Template:Inline cleanup tags for details.

Other options to tagging include adding a source which supports the text (may require re-writing of text), or removing the problematic text.

The best place to experiment with tags and all other test edits is in your sandbox at User:Wikipoetics125/sandbox. Thank you. Magnolia677 (talk) 08:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
