Close paraphrasing of source
editI am noticing – especially in the Role in society section – very close paraphrasing of the source. Please see WP:PARAPHRASE. The article can be improved by copy-editing this type of paraphrasing out of the article and using more sources. Here are some examples of text that is either closely paraphrased or even directly copy-and-pasted from the source:
Without her husband's approval (referred to as permiso marital), a wife was prohibited from employment and property ownership.
- The source reads: "Without her husband's approval, referred to as the permiso marital, a wife was prohibited from almost all economic activities, including employment, ownership of property, or even travel away from home."
Other instances of direct copy-and-paste can be found here:
The permiso marital was abolished in 1975; laws against adultery were cancelled in 1978; and divorce was legalized in 1981.
- The source reads: "The permiso marital was abolished in 1975; laws against adultery were cancelled in 1978; and divorce was legalized in 1981."
Another issue is how much this article depends on that one single source. I've added a couple of additional sources but it is still too dependent on that one source. Thank you. Donna Spencertalk-to-me⛅ 16:08, 30 July 2020 (UTC)
