Anarchist

[1] @Sweetpool50, the sentence I added says he was an anarchist and protested the government. The next sentence is about how the government treated him. How are they the same? czar 22:40, 23 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You made your edit on the strength of a not particularly informed remark made in some backwoods US publication. In the sentence that follows in the article one is given Coelho's own account of what happened: that he identified himself with left-wing thinking so prominently that he was picked up by government agents. If he didn't say there that he was an Anarchist, then by Wikipedia guidelines on trustworthy sources, you can take the other account as some garbled and unreliable misinterpretation.

Aleph Date Discrepancy

The table in the Bibliography section says that Aleph came out in 2010, but Aleph's page says it came out in 2011. Which is true? Thunderhawk256 (talk) 13:23, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aleph was released in Brazil, in portuguese, in July 2010. Source (news article in major brazilian news site, in portuguese): [2]. At the time it was scheduled to be released in international markets (including Portugal, so it was not a matter of translation time) in 2011. The Aleph article infobox mentions the English version published by Harper Collins, for which 2011 is probably correct. I don't know whether the date in the lead of that article should remain 2011 or be changed to reflect the original release and conflict with the infobox.

However, reactions to his writing have not been without dissension.

The paragraph starting with this sentence reads like a petty attack by a rival rather than a neutral statement of facts. Is there anything in this paragraph that we should keep? Uhoj (talk) 12:44, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A cardinal rule on Wikipedia is that statements should be supported by a reliable source. You have just deleted a para supported by four sources because you do not like the sound of it. I have reversed you and will report your conduct to adminsitrators if you persist. Sweetpool50 (talk) 16:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
