I reviewed the tags placed and found them to be completely inaccurate. The "close paraphrasing" from a duplicator detection report cites "New York Times," "Gonzalez was born," "David Gonzalez," and other 3, 4 and 5 word "duplications" that are simply ridiculous. The longer alleged "duplications" include "degree in journalism from Columbia University" (a standard phrase), "Central American/Caribbean Bureau Chief" (a job title), and other language which is not "duplicative" because it is official phrasing.

Your tag which demands "more sources for verification" is completely unwarranted. This article has multiple sourcing from the New York Times, the New York University School of Journalism, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Hunter College, and other recognized sources. In fact, the article contains dozens of sources, all throughout this article, with direct links to the sources. From the New York Times alone, the article provides over one dozen citations -- with links provided.

Similarly, your tag for copy editing (grammar, syntax, etc.) is completely unwarranted.

If you're going to use these tools, please use them judiciously -- rather than tag bombing an article, with tags that do not apply.

Please refrain from placing inaccurate and capricious tags, with no discussion or explanation on this Talk Page. This borders on vandalism. Sarason (talk) 08:18, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I want to thank the editor for consolidating the end notes in this article. That was very helpful, and much appreciated.

However, a tag was placed one week ago (December 30, 2014) asking for "secondary or tertiary sources" for this article. I reviewed the article and its sourcing, and it presently contains the following secondary sources: New York Times, New York University School of Journalism, National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Hunter College Center for Puerto Rican Studies, and Glitterati. These are all highly reputable secondary sources, that provided information about the subject of this article. It is not "original research." It is sourcing from news sources such as the New York Times, the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, and all the other entities mentioned.

Accordingly, the foundation for this article is from secondary, not primary sources. The tag is thus being removed.

Going forward, please try to formulate your concerns (if any) on this Talk Page, so that they may be specifically discussed and addressed. Thank you for your consideration, and thanks again for consolidating the end notes.
