... that two years after his final raid into Texas, Juan Cortina encouraged and celebrated the Union occupation of Brownsville? Source: "Promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, Cortina returned to the border in 1863 where he encouraged and cheered the Union Army’s occupation of Brownsville." https://www.utrgv.edu/civilwar-trail/civil-war-trail/cortina-civil-war/index.htm

Created by Lbal (talk). Self-nominated at 18:40, 10 February 2024 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Battle of Carrizo; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Article is new enough and long enough. I see several sentences that are copied word-for-word from https://www.utrgv.edu/civilwar-trail/civil-war-trail/cortina-second-war/index.htm. Putting the rest of this review on hold pending resolution of that. RoySmith (talk) 17:14, 9 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Gotcha. I rewrote the sentences that I cited that source for. Let me know if it should be paraphrased/rewritten further. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbal (talk • contribs) 23:01, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  - Courtesy ping RoySmith as the March 10 message was heretofore unsigned. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 21:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    - @Lbal and Sammi Brie: thanks for the ping. Unfortunately, There's still problems. Compare these two:
      In a forty-minute battle, Confederate Captain Santos Benavides decisively defeated Cortina, killing or capturing many of his soldiers and driving him back into Mexico.
      In a forty minute fight on May 22, 1861, however, Confederate Captain Santos Benavides decisively defeated Cortina, killing or capturing several of his men and driving what remained across the river into Mexico.
      this is clearly copied from the original with just a few words changed here or there. What you need to be doing is taking the facts from the source and conveying the same information but in your own original words. You can use Earwig's tool to get an overview, but that's just a convenient tool for doing a scan. RoySmith (talk) 21:19, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No progress is happening here so I'm marking this as rejected. Any DYK reviewer should feel free to reopen and re-review should Lbal return in a reasonable amount of time and resolve the WP:CLOP issue. RoySmith (talk) 14:50, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
