Close paraphrasing

edit

While not the tagger of this, I have investigated and found that some of this content seems to be directly translated from Spanish. See [1]. For example, our article says:

Mario Alberto Domínguez Zarzar, the eldest of three sons of Mario Dominguez and Esther Zarzar, was born on January 22, 1977, in Torreón in the Mexican state of Coahuila. At the age of 17 he began his studies at the National School of Music in Mexico City, where he learned singing, piano, music theory, harmonie and counterpoint.

The Spanish article says:

Mario Alberto Domínguez Zarzar, el mayor de los tres hijos de Mario Domínguez y Esther Zarzar, nació en Torreón, Coah., un 22 de enero. A la edad de 17 años inició sus estudios en la Escuela Nacional de Música, de la Ciudad de México, en donde aprendió canto, solfeo, piano, armonía y contrapunto.

This translates, according to Google:

Mario Alberto Domínguez Zarzar, the eldest of three sons of Mario Dominguez and Zarzar Esther, was born in Torreon, Coah., 22 January. At the age of 17 he began his studies at the Escuela Nacional de Música, Mexico City, where he learned singing, music theory, piano, harmony and counterpoint.

Further down, there is another passage:

In 2002, presenting himself as Mario Domm, signed a contract with Sony Music to record his first solo album, which was titled Mexi-Funky-Music. It contained singles such as "Disco Love", co-authored with Analia Galloso and Lorenzo Vargas, "Si Te Vas", co-written by Martin Delgado, and "Quiero", co-authored with Ettore Grenci. The album was not a commercial successful.

The Spanish:

En el año 2002 firmó un contrato con Sony Music para la realización de su primer disco como solista, el cual se tituló Mexi-Funky-Music: Contenía exitosos sencillos, como Disco amor, coautoría con Analia Galloso y Lorenzo Vargas; Si te vas, coautoría con Martín Delgado; y Quiero, coautoría con Grenci Ettore. Desafortunadamente no tuvo el éxito esperado.

The translation:

In 2002 he signed a contract with Sony Music to perform his first solo album, which was titled Mexi-Funky-Music: It contained hit singles such as love, Disco, co-authored with Analia Galloso and Lorenzo Vargas, If you go, co-authored with Martin Delgado, and I, co-authored with Ettore Grenci. Unfortunately not as successful as expected.

There may be more.
