Spanish translation was a long time ago[edit]

Greetings @Alexis Jazz, I see you have added a "cleanup translation" template to the page. While this was appropriate because the original commit was a translation from the Spanish Wikipedia, I believe this is no longer needed. If you check the old revision [1], you can see that it is quite clearly a mess and needed substantial cleanup to even make sense in English. But that was years ago, and now practically ever sentence is referenced to an English source. Factual accuracy can be checked simply by following the reference links, and reading the English info there. I personally have done so (and worked on) the article before, so I would vouch that it currently contains no major errors. I would appreciate someone verifying this, but a comparison with the Spanish Wikipedia's version does no longer make sense, since the English one here is now superior. Which is why I believe the template is no longer needed. --LordPeterII (talk) 21:24, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@LordPeterII: See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive323#Draftifying old unmaintained content translation tool articles and Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive_65#Planning to add Template:Cleanup translation to 1000+ pages. It's nothing personal and in cases like these the template can just be removed. The problem is mostly with articles that haven't been worked on much after an initial shoddy translation. — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@LordPeterII: Hellenica World is not a reliable source as far as I can tell. Can you add another source for any statements that depend on it, or remove those statements? — Alexis Jazz (talk or ping me) 21:48, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexis Jazz: Fair enough; I must admit I didn't question it too much at the time because it was referenced to on the German Wikipedia article. But you are right, it doesn't seem to be very reliable. Can't find the info elsewhere atm and it's not important anyway, so I have just removed it. --LordPeterII (talk) 10:35, 25 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
