Article needs rewriting[edit]

There are a lot of grammatical errors in this article. It reads as if the person who wrote it is not fluent in English. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.115.152 (talk) 18:50, 17 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding content from "The Spanish Tradition in Louisiana" added by prolific editor[edit]

Once again I find that I've wasted time and effort copyediting material added to the article by the busy Canarian who can barely write comprehensible English. I obtained the English version of Samuel G. Armistead's book, The Spanish Tradition in Louisiana, and just as I suspected, the prolific Canario has paraphrased the book's text too closely (the English was suspiciously good) in the "Songs and Popular Poems" section, and yet managed to grossly distort and misinterpret its meaning.

I completely removed the『Louisiana communities of Isleños』because, as I noted in the edit summary, he so garbled and confused the information in Armistead's book that the section would have to be completely rewritten.

I shudder to think what horrors await in the near three hundred remaining articles he's created that I haven't already fixed. He has been wreaking havoc on English Wikipedia for over five years now, and still doesn't know basic English. This should never have been allowed to happen.

Issues and reassessment[edit]

I reassessed the article on four projects as failing the B-class criteria (#1). There is a "needs additional citations for verification" tag with unsourced paragraphs and an inline "citation needed" tag. Otr500 (talk) 05:28, 12 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
