Talk:Cry, the Beloved Country

Originality

It article does not seem to be original. ‎Abcqwe, are you the original autohr of this text? Thanks! --David B ^(TALK) 23:23, 11 December 2016 (EST)

Well, it passes my "pick a random phrase or two and google them" test. How good is that test, you ask? It catches things fairly often. SamHB (talk) 20:44, 12 December 2016 (EST)

That's not a bad method--it's not certain to catch them red-handed, but it sure helps! I've done some more research too--I see similarities elsewhere, but I don't know if significant enough to be considered. This doesn't seem to be a direct copy-and-paste, at least. --David B ^(TALK) 14:39, 16 December 2016 (EST)

Quality

This article is terrible! In fact, another argument in favor of it not being plagiarized is that it would be hard to find something elsewhere that is so badly written. This needs a huge amount more detail to make sense to the reader. What is the "fascinating essay" about, and what point is it trying to make? And what does "whose voice is over compared to that of a lion or bull" mean? SamHB (talk) 20:44, 12 December 2016 (EST)

Agreed, it needs some work! --David B ^(TALK) 14:39, 16 December 2016 (EST)
