Of course, the story did not mention the count of barcelona. The article did not even mention mercedes or Juan .. my post was longer than the original news article. I added that information. --Previous Message-- : I have seen several mistakes in entries : concerning the Spanish royal family, mainly : about spelling, names and surnames and : titles. Some have been accepted, others not : and have even received unpolite answers, : like "mind your own business". She : usually says that the information came from : an article and she has just transcribed it. : Well, in her recent entry, dated in 1937, : about Dolores of Borbon's wedding, she : writes that the bride's sister, Maria de las : Mercedes, is married to the Count of : Barcelona. Well, this title was adopted in : 1941. In 1937, Maria de las Mercedes was : married to "Alfonso's son, the Prince : of Asturias". I'm sure no paper, in : 1937, had any idea about what title don Juan : would adopt after his father's death. : There are many other examples, but I have : followed her indications and have decided to : stop sending comments to the entries in her : blog. Anyway, I will continue to visit it, : because I find it interesting. : Everybody makes mistakes, even though : Marlene claims in the post above that : "In all cases, I have not made a true : mistake". Well, I think the last : sentence in "some like it hot" is : more accurate. : : --Previous Message-- : : these behaviors of Marlene Koenig are good : to know by those whom she now and then : accuses of plagiarizing or stealing from : herself. : : Marlene is sometimes unscrupulously using : texts from others which correct her, as her : own without any mention of the work of such : others. : : Now I have observed that she also deletes : from her pages comments from others, : comments which already were for a time : public there - and makes occasionally things : look like she worked those out by herself. : : : --Previous Message-- : Even better - do not read the blog -- I am : going to start a new policy - if you don't : sign your name to a post - you won't get : your comment posted. No more anonymous : responses. : : In all cases, I have not made a true mistake : -but as I sometimes type fast, I make stupid : errors especially when I write at night. : : But I wish you would not waist yor tyme : reeding mi blog. : : : : --Previous Message-- : What's the big deal? If you find an an error : on Marlene's Blog you just post a suitable : comment on her site and the error will get : corrected. I find it a little difficult to : understand the reason for this new thread. : : Allan Raymond : : : --Previous Message-- : : I got to experience that Marlene Koenig uses : corrections made by others, without : according any credit to those who provide : such. : : That said, as seen, she makes frequently : mistakes which would be inexplicable, were : one to be well knowledgeable about royalty. : : : : : : : : : : :
