265:”Courtesan”, previously flagged by someone else, is in fact completely wrong. The Portuguese version says “Cortesão”, the name of the historian mentioned in the previous sentence. Translated proper names are a huge red flag for machine translation, but this would be particularly bad machine translation since a literal translation would be “courtier”. This article should be very carefully checked and needs a lot more than a copy edit, although that would be a good start as long as care is taken not to introduce inaccuracies 153: 309:
but it’s becoming clear that it will take more than one editing marathon to fix this article. Something else to watch for, common to Romance languages, is narration in the present tense when something more rococo like the past pluperfect or subjunctive might strictly speaking be more correct.

Euphemism and an emphasis on nouns rather than verbs is prevalent in academic writing. I am fixing a lot of this as I go,

Have done some major surgery and article still needs work. Currently on a second pass. It’s definitely word for word machine translation, and pretty much exactly corresponds to the Portuguese article in all its chauvinism. References are sketchy; mostly in Portuguese, and not all that academic to

all that stuff about defensive and arrest flags: should be flag-bearer if anything. I think local militias became slave raiders? The word translated here as “arrest” also means “seizure”. And slaves are mentioned. As today’s project I will try to get to the bottom of

This is used in Romance languages to indicate that the narrator is quoting someone, and is neither agreeing nor disagreeing with the statement. Noting this since the article is on the copy edit list and I am not certain I will finish it

needs a rewrite for organization, at least in the Colonization section, which is definitely fragmented. On first pass however, I am concentrating on wikilinks, readability and definition needed flags.
